Man, what a long week. I feel like I was hit with a sack of hammers. But its recovery time. We have a local concert in the park with my family tonight… which, meh. But the kids will like it. And then tomorrow its the first Red River Shootout in a while that I’ve felt good about as a Texas Ex in a long time. By which I mean, it won’t necessarily be luck if the good guys win. So I’ll start a pot of chili in the morning and day drink. Maybe nap in the afternoon. What are you good people up to?
Umm, ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president, so… what’s the issue here? Oh right, just another hit piece. Here’s the thing I think people
Knife violence in Manchester! If only the good guys had guns…
I was hoping for sexier cyborgs.
Knife violence in DC! Where a 14 year old girl apparently has managed to elude the DC cops. She’s probably not a good person, but I’m kind of rooting for her.
How do you charge a Tesla?
you don’t in Cali!
Solar? [snickers]
Elon said so, it must be true,
seriously he said that today, it’ll only be a few more weeks, permits you know…..
In Soviet California, Tesla charges you!
She’s probably not a good person, but I’m kind of rooting for her.

If anyone has seen Drudge recently, he has the lede: “UPDATE- Ellen like Bush!”
I may need a new keyboard.
See? My s doesnt work.
And she is, of course, getting pilloried for that. I thought the current playbook was that even Bush the Lesser was far better than bad orange man.
It’s going to be funny to see the WaPo pining for orange man when the next “literally Hitler” Republican comes along
If they’re still around by then.
President Pence.
But there is probably a non-negligible percentage of their base that thinks that an impeachment would cause a total do-over of the election.
I don’t see that happening but I thought the same thing with Shrub.
I was going more with the play on words, “Ellen….Bush….Likes”
Being a lesbian and all…
That’s what I heard, Sup Tres!

When did Drudge turn into a Never Trumper? Most of the time now he posts a list of headlines from WaPo or NYT. I heard rumors that he sold the site.
Drudge seems to have gone over to the neocon drug warrior side and he’s sucked balls for years.
Drudge has always been a neocon. His website is just a series of links. Everytime I visit it I feel like I’ve been transported to the internet circa 1995
That’s his gimmick.
Well he’s not appealing to the TGA demographic enough. There are maybe a dozen of us
You mean there’s more than just you?!?!?
We can only hope
No idea but I heard he’s in his element when there’s an impeachment in the air.

This is pretty juicy. tl;dr: Vice reporters are clickbaity hacks.
Vice would endanger me for a few clicks because in Brooklyn certain things are no big deal. This is not journalism and does not deserve to hide behind the protection legitimate use of that title warrants, this is a savage abuse of privilege knowing full well that in China I had no possible recourse against a billion dollar company who thought titillating their readers with my personal details was worth putting me in jeopardy.
I begged them through a series or emails not to do this- to consult with anyone who had ever been a journalist in China and verify what I was telling them. I was then put in touch with the editor-in-chief Jason Koebler. He dismissed it- arrogantly sure he understood the threat model of a Chinese women with a massive social media following who had been outspoken on local gender issues, while at the same time making it absolutely clear he did not understand at all or frankly even care enough to Google what is a routine occurrence in China in these circumstances.
It’s not that a White American can’t understand China- that is nonsense, there are countless American journalists and scholars here that are experts in this field that Jason Koebler or Vice could have contacted to verify what I was telling them, I begged them to. They simply didn’t care.
Oh, and Sarah Jeong is a mendacious shithead.
Wasn’t she fired for encouraging a boycott against the NYT because they published an article that didn’t end with “however, orange man bad”
Ostensibly she’d left a month before tweeting that, but considering the sources (mendacious shithead and the NYT), who knows.
School resource officers are scum, part a lot:
13 year old girl who pointed a finger gun at classmates faces felony charge
What caliber was this finger gun? How many rounds could it shoot per second? This should be basic information!
“after two boys at a nearby school were charged with misdemeanors for bringing guns to school”
Man, oh man
Zero Tolerance(tm).
“who was reported on the school’s anti-bullying app”
Why does that even exist?
How else are you going to anonymously snitch on your enemies?
This is exactly what our near miss accident reporting tool at work has become.
“”It seems a little bit of an anomaly, you would think that having the actual gun that would be the more serious charge, but in fact it’s the actual threat,” Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe told WDAF .”
He’s just a yes-man.
“Too often there are reports of violence in schools and inevitably questions about what could or should have been done to prevent the tragedy,” the police statement said. “Threats in schools are taken very seriously and treated appropriately.”
CHOP HER FINGER OFF! THAT’LL LEARN HER!

By the way, the rhetoric around gun shootings and guns in general contributes to this shrill over reaction.
The shrill overreaction is the whole point.
it gives them shrill erections as well

I’d be a happy camper if the press would just treat Democratic presidents this same way.
I would settle for at least having a press under Democratic administrations. They slept through that whole eight years
They weren’t sleeping. They just had their heads in Obama’s lap.
“What do you mean the last administration separated immigrant kids? Are you referring to my messiah?”
“Who was arming ISIS? That’s not true.”
“What drone bombings? That didn’t happen.”
“Fundamentally change the country? No need to ask what that means.”
if I bring anything like that up in order to point out how hypocritical they are, I get back “whataboutism” or other reflexive vomit like “Racist!” or “Fox News” or “right wing talking point”.
I think most progressives actually think none of these things happened under Obama.
And if you think about it, how would they know? nobody in their echo chamber will tell them about it. the media they pay attention to white washed it.
“White washed?” I can’t believe you went there. How dare you! So problematic.
The issue is Orange Man Bad. Duh.
Yep. Said it before, I will say it again: the media, the left, the establishment, by whatever name you want to use, they don’t actually think hes the actual real President.
Stuff that was not only legal, but completely unobjectionable for the last 50 years is now ATTACKS ON DEMOCRACY.

Man, what a long week. I feel like I was hit with a sack of hammers.
Same here. Hospitals never stop, ever. Mine has been open 24/7/365, without a single break of any kind, for over 75 years.
It has its rewards, if you look for them (thinking about our little things/big things discussions). Today I met one of our transporters. This is a brutally hard job – on your feet all day, constantly moving, mostly pushing patients in anything from wheelchairs to full on hospital beds. They walk probably 7 – 10 miles a day on hard linoleum floors. The one I met was maybe 5′ 2″, 105 pounds. Asian girl, cute as a button, pushing what had to be 300 pounds at least down the hall. Full-size bed, she could barely see over the patient. Big smile, chatting with the patient the whole way.
…She single?

Will keep everyone posted.
Gross!
I got on some kind of lefty text list. I suspect it is related to the breakup I had back in ’18.
Oh, I hadn’t considered that. Wonder if my ex (breakup last summer) dropped a dime on me, as it were.
You guys have some cruel vindictive exes. I once had an ex slash my tires, but at least she had the decency to not put me on a Democratic phone list
I once had a guy piss me off in a business situation. I ordered his shit-ton of various catalog lists and went to: First name, Last name, Cretan.
I suspect it was the woman my ex was cheating on me with. She had access to his text messages, and I had probably sent him some libertarian memes. She used my phone # to do a lot of digging on me.
Same here. I’ve been invited via texts to all the Amy Klobuchar/Joe Biden/Bernie Sanders/etc. rallies in the southern NH area. Ugh.
Reply with a dick pic.
Kinky! I like that.

Ugh. I received a letter from some nonprofit outfit grading my voter turnout (“below average”) compared to my neighbors. They sent it to my mother’s house since I never updated my voter registration. Mom is, of course, nosy, and opened it. She blamed it on Republicans for some reason.
Now that my state is instituting “vote by mail”, I will never vote again. I look forward to laughing at such a letter some day.
I’ve been getting irritatingly enthusiastic texts from some VA Dem group in recent months. I block them, but then I just get more from other numbers.

The Puny anagram limey things? Sure, probably, they have very few crosses compared to a real ‘Murica style puzzle, they are almost entirely about clever cluing and while that’s a skill like any other, the challenge in real crosswords is making everything fit without resorting to too many abbreviations or obscure clues or crosswordese. Different animals but i’d say Cryptics are easier to construct maybe harder to clue well but tweaking clues seems easier than tweaking fills.
OT: Boy the NCAA sure is all about helping student athletes, eh? Just a wonderful and just 501(c) right there.

So some empathetic Div 3 coach let a couple of players use his old beater, which eventually shit the bed, got suspended for that, and now the NCAA decided to take away a bunch of wins and nat’l titles. Over use of a car. Seems perfectly cromulent for the NCAA.
“Lightweight!”
/ Rick Pitino
I’m thinking about what I’ve seen at real Sportsball Universities around the country… I mean, these guys aren’t even pikers compared to Free Shoes University and many others, but… I mean, who at the NCAA thinks to themselves, “Oh, yes, this is a righteous outcome.” Fuck those people. My God that organization is corrupt and worse than worthless.
The big schools are actually cheating so they know enough to cover up. This poor slob thought he was being a decent human being. Bureaucrats are slime.
There is soooo much wrong here. So this coach loses out on pay. For being a nice guy. And the school has to pay a fine? That’s tax dollars being sent to some corrupt organization because a coach loaned two players his 10 year old car. The NCAA needs to be disbanded post-haste. Couldn’t the government break it up under some sort of anti-trust bullshit?
MH-B, my alma mater (and Mrs Fourscore’s as well) finally gets in trouble. At least there was no alcohol or dancing involved. Yea, finally made the big time
I still get tickled at recalling every time the Girls of the SWC edition of Playboy came out, somebody would get
excommunicateddismissed at Waco for showing her wares.I’m not sticking up for any particular NCAA rule or decision or public colleges at all (though that’s not relevant here) but
The idea of having common rules for various sports and the student-athletes in them is an obvious need. College sports are traditionally amateur matters played by intellectually competent guys who have recently completed high school. The universities getting together and agreeing as to how that is all managed is going have issues across the thousands of agendas, but the NCAA is what everyone agrees on. None of that is necessarily bad.
The NCAA is like doG in that if it didn’t exist, we’d hafta create it. The schools aren’t interested in no-holds-barred athletics, or going semi-pro or whatever, so they need something. Otherwise coach A has one set of house rules and recruiting opportunities which makes for uneven playing fields.
The schools sticking to the rules they like seems okay to me. And people who don’t like those rules going somewhere else to play or starting their own leagues is also fine.
Justice requires judgment. Legalistic enforcement of rules with no regard for intent, effect or degree is not implicit in the existence of rules.
A rules organization is one thing. An organization that has the power to arbitrarily sanction schools unless they change their suddenly offensive mascots is a completely different thing.

You’d let the first beer just sit there? All alone by itself?
The beer wants to grow up and hang with the bigboys! Have a scotch.

A new wikipedia article on Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments.
I understand one of the supporter’s concerns: That an amendment might turn a constitution into an unworkable mess, but on the other hand, a) at some point you have to assume people know what they are doing (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) and b) isn’t one of the points of making the amendment process hard to allow for vetting of proposals?
It looks to me like just another attempt to give the judiciary more ability to re-write legislation at their whim.
As a general rule I agree that this is a ridiculous idea to give the judiciary complete control of the country, but on the other hand there are actually a couple of amendments to the US Constitution that are specifically prohibited from happening, and therefor would be technically unconstitutional amendments. From Article V:
“Believe pregnant people. Trust pregnant people. Treat pregnant people with respect.”

Then kill the baby?
Pregnant.
People.

Last year I identified as pregnant because my 40 year old beer gut made me feel alive and gave me purpose. I was treated with respect and dignity.
LOL
OT but in a good way:
I’ve been away for a week or so but I’m proud to announce the birth of my daughter on October 3rd. She was a healthy 8lbs and 7oz and my the labor took about 3 and jalf hours. It’s been a difficult week but I can’t stop looking at her and so happy she’s here.
Congratulations!
my the labor
Transavatared?
LOL. Meant to say my wife’s labor. All I did was watch.
No one except the doc thought it was funny when I got down into a catcher’s stance.
Awesome! Girls are fun to raise, for a while,
*Thunderous applause*
Congratulations!
Congrats!
Wahoo! Awesome news!

I bought a Sport kite, 6 foot span, and I can’t fly it because the wind is too High! I need 15/25 Max and right now the Santa Ana are pushing 27, down from 50, but I WANNA FLY!!
maybe tomorrow, or right before Sundown, Fucking hobbies….
I used to love flying kites.
these things are spooky, lift you off the the ground style, 2 line control, with provisions for 4 line, which is incredible for flying.
Parafoils are way cool,

ALOHA SNACKBAR!!!
Red flag!
That’s the problem, Red Flag on the wind,
Imma do an article, these new fangled kite are worth it,
I need to write something, but nothing pops to mind.
Write about what you know, or what you do, life is different for us all, and the Glibs love new stories, go for it!
What I do is boring. I have to get interested or I won’t finish an article. Something will strike me.
Origin stories are a thing around here, you know.
Nothing really dramatic there. Raised conservative with strong So Con strain. Lost religion, read Rand, grew up and decided compassion was in fact a virtue, decided what how or why someone has sex didn’t matter to me unless I wanted to be the who, and since I was already a smartass became glib.
Sorry I know this sounded like a request for suggestions, but something has to catch me to get past my innate laziness. I’ll have an idea (actually I have one, but it is more in the line of a regular feature idea, needs more thought to come up with a good approach, and like I said I am lazy and giving myself a new weekly task has alarm bells going off)
Doesn’t have to be weekly. I’m random, and Allah knows I don’t put that much work into them.
