Today in news that will please David Cronenberg and only David Cronenberg, it is now possible to shroud your smart devices in warm, flabby flesh that just loves being pinched and tickled.
Skin-On Interfaces, a line of smart device covers currently in development, uses artificial skin technology to create new input gestures for computers and mobile devices—all you need to do is poke, stroke, and press down on that soft, supple meat. This nightmare comes from designer Mark Teyssier, his team at Telecom ParisTech, and researchers from HCI Sorbonne Université and CNRS. (Cronenberg, we imagine, is a silent partner.)
Teyssier, who believes that “human skin is the best interface for interaction,” first came up with the idea after he had a compulsion to pinch his phone, which, sure, we’ve all felt at some point, right? His project has resulted in two different products: one with a uniform skin surface and another that promises the hyper-realistic feeling and appearance of filthy, probably hairy flesh.
Warren, the piece noted, isn’t the kind of person who is just gonna get her a beer: She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She’s rich. She was a professor at an Ivy. But, as The Atlantic admits, “gonna get me a beer” isn’t posturing, it’s a typical speech pattern for somebody from Oklahoma. The thing about Warren that’s been irreconcilable for pundits and the political media: She may have taught at Harvard, but Warren actually is from down home. She’s both. And she’s deploying that personal story effectively.
Warren’s stump speeches are filled with personal references to the challenges of working middle-class motherhood—of finding and affording daycare and of the precariousness of it all. She’s claiming the narrative of the local girl made good, the woman who toughed it out. In politics, this story is usually trotted out by men, who want to tell you about a waitress they met in a diner in a key primary state and the homey wisdom she imparted to them. If you see it first-person, it’s more typically the stuff of country music.
Harris is such a buzzkill and Sanders is half-dead so Jezebel has to work up the spit to go down on Warren.

The Navy’s “Doomsday Plane,” designed to withstand even a nuclear attack, suffered millions of dollars in damages after striking a single bird as it practiced a landing maneuver earlier this month at a Maryland air station.
Hate Bird, The Bird That Hates… your plane
The E-6B Mercury was supposed to only touch down momentarily before immediately taking off again from the Patuxent River Naval Air station – but a bird was sucked into one of the plane’s four engines while it attempted the “touch and go” move, according to Military.com
Tim Boulay, the communications director for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, told the Navy Times the incident was a “Class A” mishap, which means there was at least $2 million in damages to the plane. The designation is typically used in instances of aircraft destruction and death.
No one aboard the Navy aircraft was injured, but the plane was temporarily grounded after the Oct. 2 incident.
This marks the second “Class A” mishap for an E-6B Mercury this year – back in February, one of the planes brushed against a hangar as it was being moved from Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The incident also resulted in millions in damages.
Imagine being this butthurt that a mass shooting DIDN’T occur.
Before it came out, everyone was terrified that the Joker would lead to mass violence.* Instead, weeks after its release, it’s mostly lead to people photoshopping Joaquin Phoenix in clown make-up into any image they can imagine. This, obviously, is a reassuring outcome. Rather than accept a supervillain’s ideology as their own, the world has latched onto that scene where he dances down a Bronx staircase instead, seeing in that moment the truth that comic book movie iconography should never be taken more seriously than its potential as fodder for dumb memes.
The fullest expression of this is a Twitter account called “Joker Dancing In Random Places,” which has been created for no apparent purpose other than to slap a boogying Joker into, as the name suggests, any old place its administer can imagine. Here, for example, is the Joker introducing a bit of levity to Da Vinci’s The Last Supper.

Deer and elk. It was 60 degrees and sunny in the Routt National Forest when we arrive Friday morning. We camped at about 8000 feet.

I’ve always said the success of a hunting trip isn’t determined by whether you get an animal on the ground.
Fourscore
Really don’t even need to take a gun. The best time is the before/after hunt, all the BS, memories from hunts gone by, camaraderie.
When I sit in my deer stand I reflect back on the days hunting with my Dad and more recently with my two late brothers. Those were good days. Now I hope to have a few years with my grand daughter and maybe give her some memories. Hope she gets a deer and some bragging rights.

Host Chris Matthews asked, why do working class white people “stick with Trump?”
Moore said, “Sadly, I think it is a racial thing on some level with a lot of people.”
He continued, “I think that white guys…they can see the writing on the wall. The women are coming. They arrived last November. We are now — this is the eighth September in a row where the majority of first graders in this country last month were not white.”
Matthews interjected, “Meaning Hispanic, African-American or Asian.”
Moore continued, “Correct. We now see the demographic shift that by the 2040’s white people will be the minority, and I think there’s some level of fear about that.”
He added, “And those of us who are white, especially white guys, still having that door opened just a little bit easier for us. And we know it. We know we’re not followed around when we go to the department store.”
Matthews said, “So that spreads fear into the white voter and he votes white.”
Moore said, “Yes, because some white voters are afraid. When you’re in power, you don’t want to lose what you have, and let’s face it.”

The White Man is an animal, acting only on the basest animal instincts. He barely recognizes his fellow whiteman as a friend let alone the other races. Some believe that a period of time among other races may condition a White Man to see himself as a member of the wider global race, but this has never been verified further than single individuals. I do not believe the white race will ever be capable of providing the judicious and good governance that is required of a free peoples.

This is a little dated, but it says Trump’s approval ranges around 25% with black voters and 50% among Hispanic voters. So, tell me again how this is all about white fear of minorities?
Here’s the thing. I think most Americans don’t see the world in terms of identity politics. The only way it has helped Trump is the fact that the left’s aggressive push for identity politics convinces a lot of white voters that Democrats and progressives are actively hostile towards them. And nonsense like this hardly dispels the notion, does it?
Hyperion
I’m guessing that around 50% of Hispanic voters identify as white. So if you’re talking shit about whitey, those Hispanics just might get offended. Identity politics is stupidity at it’s worst. Also, what have democrats done for Blacks in the last 50 years? I don’t think keeping me in the ghetto because I cain’t do stuff as good as whitey, is a good answer.

We (most of us, anyway) can agree Michael Lewis is a good storyteller. He’s got a story over at Bloomberg. Too lazy to link.
It’s a tale about a noble, dedicated public servant. An oceanographer who used to work for the Coast Guard. The guy is an extremely sharp, dedicated, motivated individual who made huge strides in the advancement of search and rescue techniques on the ocean. It’s worth a read, but…
This one hardworking guy is obviously intended to validate and justify every fucking nickel the government ever spent. Basically, he was a seeker of knowledge who just happened to luck into the arms of a patron in the form of the US Coast Guard. He could have done the same work at a private research facility, but the profit motive would have spoiled his saintliness.

The Montana Supreme Court on Tuesday reversed a Missoula judge’s decision upholding the city of Missoula’s gun ordinance, which would have required background checks on all transfer of firearms, including gun show purchases.
The high court ruled 5-0 in favor of Montana Attorney General Tim Fox, who voided in 2017 the Missoula City Council’s ordinance adopted the year earlier, arguing the council did not have the authority to infringe on gun ownership rights in the state and U.S. constitutions.
Missoula City Council President Bryan von Lossberg told the Missoulian on Tuesday he was “deeply saddened” by the ruling.

JB has been pretty vocal about his strong dislike of Trump. The fact that there’s a situation, at all, in which he’d vote for Trump indicates how much he dislikes Harris. My only question is whether his pulling the lever for Trump would require self-medication to cope, or whether the dislike for Harris is so strong he’d do it sober and, maybe, even without regret.

I sat it out in 2016 because of that. I’ve sort of changed my mind since then, Trump has turned out way better than I could have expected. I’m pretty sure if any other candidate from 2016 would have won, besides Rand Paul, it would have turned out far worse.

Unintended consequences with good intentions are still good.
Today, the state of New York will face off with ExxonMobil for oral arguments in the trial alleging that the company misled investors by providing false assurances that the company was adequately costing climate-related risks. But win or lose, that doesn’t mean an end to deliberate misinformation campaigns. Here’s what we should all know about how to resist those efforts by Exxon and other big corporate actors.
Scientists have known for decades that the burning of fossil fuels is causing climate change. There is so much evidence that at least 97% of climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming. It’s as settled as the link between smoking and cancer.
The fossil fuel industry has known about the role of its products in global warming for 60 years. Exxon’s own scientists warned their managers 40 years ago of “potentially catastrophic events”. Yet rather than alerting the public or taking action, these companies have spent the past few decades pouring millions of dollars into disinformation campaigns designed to delay action. All the while, the science is clear that climate-catalyzed damages have worsened, storms have intensified, and droughts and heatwaves have become more frequent and severe, while forests have been damaged and wildfires have burned through the country.
By polluting the information landscape, these companies misrepresented the safety of their product and denied the public their right to be accurately informed.
That’s as far as I got.

“Scientists have known for decades that the burning of fossil fuels is causing climate change.”
Umm, no, no they do not.

We are between glaciations and sooner or later the ice walls will return.
Point of order. Whether we are between glaciations or finally exiting the Ice Age is currently unknown. Of course, if we are exiting the Ice Age, no manner of green policies are going to stop the ice from melting as the planet returns to its normal, relatively warmer temperatures.
Jarflax
OK, fair enough, but when you are talking about a sequence of glaciations that has lasted 2.5 million years, the last of which was either 20,000 years ago or a few centuries depending on whether you count glacial maximums or just periods of glacial advance, between seems more likely than coming out of.

All the while, the science is clear that climate-catalyzed damages have worsened,

Ok, so is China any different in this regard? Are we supposed to believe that the Chinese people are all up in arms in the way that that privileged Americans are about what’s happening in Hong Kong such that they would cheer any criticism of China’s regime by James? Stop and think about that for a moment. And in thinking about that, please remember that just forty years ago Chinese per capita income was $175 dollars; the latter lower than what the intensely impoverished people of sub-Saharan Africa were earning.
….
Hard as it may be to imagine for those who are only happy when they’re mad at something or someone else, it’s very possible that the Chinese people are very happy with their lot. No doubt they’re not as free as we are here, but few are. The main thing is that compared to before, they’re prospering. The “Communist Party” that has so many on the right on so up in arms can count all manner of capitalists in China as members simply because per author Evan Osnos in his spectacular book, The Age of Ambition, the Party is increasingly a “professional network” as opposed to being a promoter of a murderous ideology.
Is “it’s the economy stupid!” only operative inside the U.S.? Are the Chinese people too primitive to want what we want? Not very likely. Though the Chinese political class surely has warts, as does the U.S. political class, the people in China are increasingly free to create immense wealth. Because they can, one guesses they’re not as up in arms as the scholar class is stateside. They’re proud people who probably would prefer to not have U.S. celebrities minister to them about how to do things. Maybe LeBron James understands this. He didn’t become a billion-dollar pitch man because he doesn’t understand markets, rather he became that way because he does. And he’s doing his job, or at least trying to, while leaving politics in China to those who do politics in China. He’s right. His critics are wrong.

I think he’s given too much credit here. Just my hunch. Lebron is really intriguing though. I think really he’s probably a good guy, is a good father and is charitable. But then on the other side, he’s a drama queen, coach killing, faux-woke SJW with TDS.

Nope. The author of this drivel was wrong.

storms have intensified,
Demonstrably false.
The number of *named storms* is higher now than it ever was in the past!
*Chuck Todd actually excreted that argument on Meet the Press a while back. It’s SCIENCE, people. Stop denying it.

“The number of *named storms* is higher now than it ever was in the past!”
Oh, fer fuck’e sake, they now name rain showers and snow flurries.
Gerry Rigg
And for all that, it’s still been over a decade since we’ve had to fall back on Greek letters from running out of names.

The number of *named storms* is higher now than it ever was in the past!
The number of known mountains is higher now than it ever was in the past. Therefor, climate change creates mountains.
Jarflax
Life expectancy is higher now than it ever was in the past. Therefore Climate Change prevents death.

Hasn’t this year’s hurricane season been much milder than usual?
Hyperion
That’s a sure sign of climate change. /you can’t win
R C Dean
The last several have been pretty tame, historically speaking. And of course our knowledge about what a hurricane season looks like doesn’t really pre-date weather satellites, so our baseline data is pretty shallow.
“Tulsi Gabbard Apologist”
Imagine being Chuck Todd, knowing that everyone is whispering behind your back about how they use to watch Meet The Press before it was hosted by clown.
It’s kind of like being that British guy who replaced John McLaughlin on the McLaughlin group
Chuck Todd is an asshole. I used to respect him because he was one of the very few people on MSNBC who would display something like a critical journalistic instinct from time to time. I guess that’s over with.
“Tulsi Gabbard Apologist”
Displaying journalistic integrity on MSNBC is a pretty low bar

“People are calling Chris Pratt sexist after he mocked his wife’s cooking”
This is my least favorite media trend (and there are a lot of them).
pretending that something is a story because a few people on social media said something.
JaimeRoberto Delecto
Like I tell my son when he mentions the latest Twitter outrage, Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and most of them stink. Don’t get all wound up because a handful out of the billions of people on the planet are outraged.
B.P.
It’s bad taste to publicly bag on your spouse, unless the spouse is in on the joke. I’m not sure where the sexism comes in.
JaimeRoberto Delecto
Because you can’t criticize strong, independent women. They can’t handle it.
I had a concrete apron poured today. Obvious work zone. Trucks and guys all over the place. Giant patch of obviously fresh concrete.
Amazon delivery person shows up and starts up the driveway. I was on the phone, thinking ‘holy shit, she’s headed right for the wet cement!’. Sure enough, before I could react, she stepped right into it. Luckily, it was an easy fix, but I was still annoyed.

“Freshman Democratic Rep. Katie Hill (D-Santa Clarita) on Tuesday denied allegations that she was having an inappropriate relationship with one of her staffers and also said intimate photos of her were posted online without her consent”
I’m still trying to figure out how that photo isn’t of an inappropriate relationship with one of her staffers. I’m trying to imagine the conversation with my boss if there was a photo like that of me with one of my subordinates.
Actually, it would be a very short conversation. Two words: “You’re fired.”

Damn right! Some nosy boss tells you to stop banging candy stripers you freaking fire his ass!

R C Dean
By bosses, you mean Pelosi, Hoyer, Clyburn, yeah, you’re probably right.
Exactly. This whole bit about, “Oh, my abusive husband is trying to stain my reputation” is the most cynical type of canard. It doesn’t matter if a goddamn burglar took that picture in the middle of robbing her blind, it’s still a picture of her, naked, with her staffer. If she were a man she’d already be out of office.
JaimeRoberto Delecto
This is just going to give her more woke cred in California.
Count Potato
What I find even more stupid, if that’s possible, is who the hell would take pictures in such a situation?
R C Dean
Not a selfie, so it was a third party. Since this is supposedly a “throuple”, I would guess the cuckband.
Mad Scientist
He’s banging two chicks at the same time. I don’t think cuckolding applies.
Well…maybe. Sometimes the first woman in these things is using the triumvirate or whatever as cover because they want to dip their toes into lesbianism but either need to keep the beard or haven’t really come out yet. A guy I knew from high school got involved in one of these and it broke up after a year because the chicks left him for each other.
Some dumb thot who thinks she has nothing to worry about because she’s a member of the cool kids club. Everything about this screams, “I’m in a safe district and my position is basically a sinecure.”

OK, you all have probably discussed this to death, but I’ve been busy today. The weird thing about this avatar issue is that they aren’t showing up on my laptop, but they ARE showing up on my phone.

Ok, so what’s happening is the srcset is missing a comma between the source and the width, i.e. “XXxxx.jpg 2x” instead of “XXxxx.jpg, 2x”. There’s also a space before the “lazyloaded” class. Template typo?

These stories always seem to come from Germany. The dudes that cooked and ate one of their penises were German too, although Josef Fritzl was Austrian.

The Germans have clearly been repressing emotions for generations.

Well, you get your asses stomped in a war and then get occupied for 50-60 years, fearing a communist invasion. Many of your invaders (French & English) take up space in your homeland, when without American help they would would be speaking German. Your hottest women get seduced by men that are middle and and lower-middle class at best, and then whisked away to America (Hi, Mom!). German men have basically been neutered, and the English and French are next.

Back from hunting season. No meat in the freezer, but the season got cut short due to the arrival (last night) of a new grandson.
Our plan to breed the world into submission proceeds apace. Muahahaha.
Hunt report to follow.
Congrats!
Great on the grandson, sad on the hunting.
2 more weeks and I’ll be sitting in a stand, my granddaughter in the next one over.
Where were you hunting at? Deer, I presume, though I seem to remember last year you were chasing elk in the west?
And I’ll be in a ground blind (don’t like heights) just a few miles north of Fourscore. You’ll know its me because of the snoring.
Deer and elk. It was 60 degrees and sunny in the Routt National Forest when we arrive Friday morning. We camped at about 8000 feet.
It started snowing Sunday. And kept snowing. And kept snowing. By Monday evening we had over a foot. All the game was hunkered down in dark timber. So, no luck here.
I’ve always said the success of a hunting trip isn’t determined by whether you get an animal on the ground.
Really don’t even need to take a gun. The best time is the before/after hunt, all the BS, memories from hunts gone by, camaraderie.
When I sit in my deer stand I reflect back on the days hunting with my Dad and more recently with my two late brothers. Those were good days. Now I hope to have a few years with my grand daughter and maybe give her some memories. Hope she gets a deer and some bragging rights.
I take a gun because it gives a sense of purpose. That’s mostly it.
I’m convinced many people (including me) go hunting mostly so they have stories to tell about their hunting trips.
^ These guys get it.
Congratulations! That’s great news for you and your family.
Congrats!

I used to go to a good one in the general area of NYU with my wife and that was the first thing we checked beforehand, that there was no physical contact. Every time we went there and got separated all I had to do was listen for a female scream and “No touching! No touching! You can’t touch me don’t you dare try!”
Yeah, I used to hate that.
Too bad it’s a scam. I could use the 20k.
Elizabeth Warren is making the Personal Political
And they wonder why people say she’s not likeable.
She’s every teacher that ever humiliated you in front of your fourth-grade class. She’s every bumperstickered Prius you got stuck behind in traffic. She’s every dumb asshole who ever farted in the bulk bin aisle of a Whole Foods.
I’ll put money she drives a Big Three hybrid.
The internet says a Ford Escape Hybrid.

I know. A Class A?!? From a birdstrike?? JFC. I survived a helo crash, a dual engine failure at 150′, where we broke off both skids, and that was a Class C. (Yes, there was some creative accounting involved, but we flew that thing away from the same exercise 6 weeks later.)
And they had a Class A just dinging a door moving it!?! I’m sure it’s going to be really survivable in combat. Totes. Not a boondoggle at all. Cuz everyone knows hitting a door during ground movement is way worse than a nuke.

The designers of that doomsday plane should get together with that skin phone guy and make a plane/cockroach hybrid; then it will be nuclear proof.
And all the controls moan and writhe when you touch them.
Or they scatter when you flip on the lights, which might not be good for a combat situation.
If you rub it enough it shoots.
You have to insert your hands into the avionics to control them.

I can’t find the video. Mark Steyn last week described every Elizabeth Warren story as having her as the poor victim at the center. As opposed to Joe Biden’s stories where he’s always the working class tough-guy hero.

Also, good. Screw secret meetings. You work for us, so we get to see what is going on.
Is there any chance that no Dem has ever taken their cell phone into one of these “secure” rooms?
I mean, let’s face it – if you’re letting politicians into a room, it ain’t secure.
Sources familiar with the thinking of Democrats agree.
Gotta love this concern for security, when it’s been non-stop leaks by Democrats since this thing started.
It would be much more effective if they left their cellphones in their offices.
Yeah, gave Schiff a hook by breaking the rules.
There is no rule against a member of Congress going into one of the secure rooms in the actual fucking Capitol building, I’m pretty sure.

Whypipo are afraid
Host Chris Matthews asked, why do working class white people “stick with Trump?”
Moore said, “Sadly, I think it is a racial thing on some level with a lot of people.”
He continued, “I think that white guys…they can see the writing on the wall. The women are coming. They arrived last November. We are now — this is the eighth September in a row where the majority of first graders in this country last month were not white.”
Matthews interjected, “Meaning Hispanic, African-American or Asian.”
Moore continued, “Correct. We now see the demographic shift that by the 2040’s white people will be the minority, and I think there’s some level of fear about that.”
He added, “And those of us who are white, especially white guys, still having that door opened just a little bit easier for us. And we know it. We know we’re not followed around when we go to the department store.”
Matthews said, “So that spreads fear into the white voter and he votes white.”
Moore said, “Yes, because some white voters are afraid. When you’re in power, you don’t want to lose what you have, and let’s face it.”
Moore said, “Sadly, I think it is a racial thing on some level with a lot of people.”
Well he is definitely right about this part.
Keep it up. You’re only helping Trump.
Just reading that excerpt makes me want to take a shower. God damn, if you’re actually filled with that much self-loathing, either go find a therapist or a tall building.
Trump is going to have a hard time declaring all these in-kind contributions from the left.
His next campaign finance report should list the debates as in kind contributions from the DNC.
Because all the “power” is held by the blue collar working class, right? That’s Michael Moore “logic” for you.
The White Man is an animal, acting only on the basest animal instincts. He barely recognizes his fellow whiteman as a friend let alone the other races. Some believe that a period of time among other races may condition a White Man to see himself as a member of the wider global race, but this has never been verified further than single individuals. I do not believe the white race will ever be capable of providing the judicious and good governance that is required of a free peoples.
That’s why you need me to brown y’all up.
*gets in line*
I’m not sure what that means, but I’m excited to find out.
It involves a large cast iron skillet and prodigious amounts of butter
I like half of that…
I think I know what the butter would be used for, but the skillet has me baffled.
For dat pancake ass.
In. You had me at cast iron skillet though.
This is a little dated, but it says Trump’s approval ranges around 25% with black voters and 50% among Hispanic voters. So, tell me again how this is all about white fear of minorities?
Here’s the thing. I think most Americans don’t see the world in terms of identity politics. The only way it has helped Trump is the fact that the left’s aggressive push for identity politics convinces a lot of white voters that Democrats and progressives are actively hostile towards them. And nonsense like this hardly dispels the notion, does it?
I’m guessing that around 50% of Hispanic voters identify as white. So if you’re talking shit about whitey, those Hispanics just might get offended. Identity politics is stupidity at it’s worst. Also, what have democrats done for Blacks in the last 50 years? I don’t think keeping me in the ghetto because I cain’t do stuff as good as whitey, is a good answer.
I think most Americans don’t see the world in terms of identity politics.
I think this is wrong. But I think the identity in question has more to do with job than skin color. The Mexican guy, the Black guy, and Bubba work side by side just fine and I don’t think any of them want their grade schoolers transitioning, their guns seized, or their car taken away.
The Mexican guy, the Black guy, and Bubba work side by side just fine…
But not the Irish!
Said the two fat old white guys.
*Please note: A few dipshits on the internet do not constitute “everyone.”
Everyone agrees that you are wrong.

UUUUGLLLYYYYY!
Why the hell does anyone care about the continuing adventures of Hanna Montana?
Not looking at the train wreck.
We (most of us, anyway) can agree Michael Lewis is a good storyteller. He’s got a story over at Bloomberg. Too lazy to link.
It’s a tale about a noble, dedicated public servant. An oceanographer who used to work for the Coast Guard. The guy is an extremely sharp, dedicated, motivated individual who made huge strides in the advancement of search and rescue techniques on the ocean. It’s worth a read, but…
This one hardworking guy is obviously intended to validate and justify every fucking nickel the government ever spent. Basically, he was a seeker of knowledge who just happened to luck into the arms of a patron in the form of the US Coast Guard. He could have done the same work at a private research facility, but the profit motive would have spoiled his saintliness.
Moore continued, “Correct. We now see the demographic shift that by the 2040’s white people will be the minority, and I think there’s some level of fear about that.”
Yeah, because that completely monolithic bloc of Black, Hispanic, Asian, Polynesian and Aleut voters will take over, and it will be curtains for the White Man.

Always Appeals To Men With Pads Featuring Pictures Of Monster Trucks, Pro Wrestlers
“We want to welcome all people who menstruate, whether you are a cisgender woman, a transgender man, or a dude who really likes monster trucks,” said a Procter & Gamble representative. “And you can’t go wrong with monster trucks. Monster trucks are big. Monster trucks are cool. Monster trucks go boom.”
Various pictures on the products include the following:
A nuclear weapon decimating a city
Bacon
A 1978 Trans Am with fire coming out of the pipes
Aragorn chopping off an Orc’s head
A T-rex with Gatling guns for arms
Batman
Though the product was initially targeted at people who menstruate but don’t necessarily identify as a woman, the company is discovering that men who are forced to buy their wives’ menstrual products prefer the packaging as well.
I really want sure if that was the Bee or not before I checked.
Given what Gillette pulled, the Bee honestly didn’t cross my mind. Now I has a disappoint.
And a good laugh.

The Montana Supreme Court on Tuesday reversed a Missoula judge’s decision upholding the city of Missoula’s gun ordinance, which would have required background checks on all transfer of firearms, including gun show purchases.
The high court ruled 5-0 in favor of Montana Attorney General Tim Fox, who voided in 2017 the Missoula City Council’s ordinance adopted the year earlier, arguing the council did not have the authority to infringe on gun ownership rights in the state and U.S. constitutions.
Missoula City Council President Bryan von Lossberg told the Missoulian on Tuesday he was “deeply saddened” by the ruling.
Boo hoo, you fucking lefty bullshit artist.
“the council did not have the authority to infringe on gun ownership rights”
Neither does anyone else. The key word here is ‘infringe’. Learn it and fuck off.
It’s cute that Missoula imagines itself New York City.
And Bozeman is Boston.
“Harris is such a buzzkill and Sanders is half-dead so Jezebel has to work up the spit to go down on Warren.”
In case they didn’t notice, Warren is also a huge buzz kill. Unless you are really into statist authoritarians.
As opposed to…? Who running for the DNC nomination isn’t a statist fuck including Gabbard?
Maybe the only person they threw out, the crazy hippy chick. Besides her, no one.
Unless you are really into statist authoritarians.
Hmm. Warren should change her wardrobe to be more dominatrix. You know, patent leather boots, that kind of thing. Couldn’t hurt.
I don’t see that working, because fugly.
I’m no playing warden and prisoner with Warren! Tulsi sure,
And she’s deploying that personal story effectively.
And that’s what it is, a story, a work of fiction.
Harris is such a buzzkill
And a wannabe tyrant (but they kindof all are…). And worse, Horizontal Harris’s voice/demeanor is more grating, irritating and disingenuous than Warren’s.
Harris has the most phone laugh of the bunch.
Phony
Damn phone, so self involved
I’ve been saying it for a year and I’ll say it again: Harris (on either side of the dem ticket) would be enough to make me vote Trump instead of 3rd party/staying home.
I have no idea why any of the dem candidates, at this point, would not make you vote Trump. Have you been listening to their bullshit? It’s pretty simple if not, take your guns and tax you into 3rd world poverty.
JB has been pretty vocal about his strong dislike of Trump. The fact that there’s a situation, at all, in which he’d vote for Trump indicates how much he dislikes Harris. My only question is whether his pulling the lever for Trump would require self-medication to cope, or whether the dislike for Harris is so strong he’d do it sober and, maybe, even without regret.
I sat it out in 2016 because of that. I’ve sort of changed my mind since then, Trump has turned out way better than I could have expected. I’m pretty sure if any other candidate from 2016 would have won, besides Rand Paul, it would have turned out far worse.

Never let a printing press go to waste?
Been running a DB conversion script on a DB I’m converting to new format. Thing is fucking ginormous, running now for 3 hours and 15 minutes.
It’s disinformation, all the way down
Today, the state of New York will face off with ExxonMobil for oral arguments in the trial alleging that the company misled investors by providing false assurances that the company was adequately costing climate-related risks. But win or lose, that doesn’t mean an end to deliberate misinformation campaigns. Here’s what we should all know about how to resist those efforts by Exxon and other big corporate actors.
Scientists have known for decades that the burning of fossil fuels is causing climate change. There is so much evidence that at least 97% of climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming. It’s as settled as the link between smoking and cancer.
The fossil fuel industry has known about the role of its products in global warming for 60 years. Exxon’s own scientists warned their managers 40 years ago of “potentially catastrophic events”. Yet rather than alerting the public or taking action, these companies have spent the past few decades pouring millions of dollars into disinformation campaigns designed to delay action. All the while, the science is clear that climate-catalyzed damages have worsened, storms have intensified, and droughts and heatwaves have become more frequent and severe, while forests have been damaged and wildfires have burned through the country.
By polluting the information landscape, these companies misrepresented the safety of their product and denied the public their right to be accurately informed.
That’s as far as I got.
“Scientists have known for decades that the burning of fossil fuels is causing climate change.”
Umm, no, no they do not.
“There is so much evidence that at least 97% of climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming. It’s as settled as the link between smoking and cancer.”
Regurgitates horseshit.
“That’s as far as I got.”
It was too far to bother with.
The fossil fuel industry has known about the role of its products in global warming for 60 years.
That’s remarkable, since I can remember when the big eco-threat was an ice age. In the ’70s.
That one is more likely. We are between glaciations and sooner or later the ice walls will return.
We are between glaciations and sooner or later the ice walls will return.
Point of order. Whether we are between glaciations or finally exiting the Ice Age is currently unknown. Of course, if we are exiting the Ice Age, no manner of green policies are going to stop the ice from melting as the planet returns to its normal, relatively warmer temperatures.
OK, fair enough, but when you are talking about a sequence of glaciations that has lasted 2.5 million years, the last of which was either 20,000 years ago or a few centuries depending on whether you count glacial maximums or just periods of glacial advance, between seems more likely than coming out of.
All the while, the science is clear that climate-catalyzed damages have worsened,
Probably true, as more countryside is developed, more damage will occur regardless.
storms have intensified,
Demonstrably false.
and droughts and heatwaves have become more frequent and severe,
Also demonstrably false.
Ooh, “climate-catalyzed damages”. I wonder if that will be the new buzz phrase. Probably too wordy.
When you normalize for increasing infrastructure value, though, the trend line is flat. Indicating that storms aren’t getting worse.
And fatalities have plummeted.
“All the while, the science is clear that climate-catalyzed damages have worsened, ”
I don’t know about property damage, but climate-related deaths are at an all-time low.
So, is it a shakedown, or is it political grandstanding, or is it retribution, or all of the above?
The NY AG is one of the more despicable characters in American politics these days
The group that represents state attorney generals is the National Association of Attorneys General. Yup… NAAG.
So, truth in advertising. Better than I expected from a group of lawyers.
these companies misrepresented the safety of their product
Never mind the transportation, climate controlled environment, computers to write your drivel on etc. Oh that’s right we just need solar, wind, and unicorn farts to power our very real human needs.
Um… that is NOT what the trial is actually about.
Yes, the Guardian is lying. Shocking, I know.
If TGA is around, he’ll be pleased to know that the National Review has published an article In Defense of Tulsi.
I saw. Michael Brendan Doherty has always been a bright spot in that rag. He also did a nice obituary on Justin Raimondo when he passed away, while other libertarian publications were too busy writing love letters about their newest neocon love interest to even notice that Raimondo had passed.
Thanks for the heads-up

The “Communist Party” that has so many on the right on so up in arms can count all manner of capitalists in China as members simply because per author Evan Osnos in his spectacular book, The Age of Ambition, the Party is increasingly a “professional network” for graft and corruption as
opposed to beingwell as a promoter of a murderous ideology.He didn’t become a billion-dollar pitch man because he
doesn’tunderstands markets, rather he became that way becausehe doeshe is a freakishly talented basketball player.You know for people who are supposed to anti-collectivist and anti-statist they sure seem unable to comprehend the fact that Xi actually disagrees with them and is a murderous tyrant,
They aren’t those things at all.
They’re just parroting the popular line so they are accepted in their peer groups and in the media.. They’re morally spineless assholes.
Hence “supposed”. I am speaking of the “libertarians” at AIER and CATO who slobber over the PRC. There does seem to be a disturbing number of them that think the political elites in America and China actually agree with them. I mean they support trade with China and Chinese economic development and so does Xi so Xi must agree with them, right?
“Agree with them” is the more generous interpretation. The other is that they regime bootlickers who would slobber over Xi and Biden if they called for collectivized agriculture.
Xi is now a dictator for life. Don’t underestimate his desire to become Mao as soon as he gets the chance. Just because he’s trying to nudge those kulaks and wreckers with a social credit score, doesn’t mean he won’t pull a Tiananmen Square on a massive scale when the opportunity is right. China is headed for disaster with this guy, they done fucked up real good.
I think China’s going to look a lot like the USSR under Brezhnev in short order.
You mean the leaders are going to have monstrous eyebrows?
I wouldn’t have a problem with LeBron or others like Kerr if they said something like, “I don’t know a lot about China or about what’s going on over there, so I don’t want to comment on the situation. I do comment about stuff in the US, because this is my home and I am better informed about what happens here. That said, Morey has a right to say what he wants and shouldn’t be forced to kowtow to Chinese demands.”
Unfortunately, they went way beyond that.
The main thing is that compared to before, they’re prospering.
I’m just going to go full Godwin on this and point out that there were a whole lot of Germans who could say the same thing about a certain mustachioed monster.
a certain mustachioed monster
Dr. Phil?
Except he bashes America with no sense of irony or awareness. It’s way easier that way. It still doesn’t detract from the fact he makes money in a country will a looonng human rights abuse list and other major issues that run contrary to Western values. He had a week to think his response up and to consult his master Nike and came up with a loser. Way to go missing the point of why he and Kerr and others sound and look like hypocrite asses.
I think he’s given too much credit here. Just my hunch. Lebron is really intriguing though. I think really he’s probably a good guy, is a good father and is charitable. But then on the other side, he’s a drama queen, coach killing, faux-woke SJW with TDS.
Lebron made his money as a dribbler of balls and established a brand. Everything works itself out with the right team of handlers.
I’m not a China-hawk by any means of the imagination, except sexual, but even I think that piece was extremely naive.
He should have stopped there. But no, he had to break out the pom poms to cheer on a fascist regime.
Even I’ll draw the line that corporations have a social obligation to not profit from slave labor.
IBM and Ford did business with Nazi Germany, but they never went about doing PR for them and pretending like they were ignorant about the evils of that regime.
At least they had the decency to just take the money and shut-up about it
They’re proud people who probably would prefer to not have U.S. celebrities minister to them about how to do things.
Now do Americans.
Maybe LeBron James understands this.
Probably not, since he seems free to tell non-Chinese what’s wrong with them. In any event, understanding that the Chinese don’t want Americans butting in has nothing to do with carrying water for ChiComs.
^this
He bashes Trump because he KNOWS nothing will happen to him
Now try that with Winnie the Pooh and get back to me.
It’s crazy how people who have the clarity to keep to their principles and draw the line with China are somehow ‘wrong’.
Nope. The author of this drivel was wrong.
Is this the same AIER that went all retarded John Bircher because it was fashionable?
Speaking of “privileged Americans”…
But enough about the modern Progressive Left…
storms have intensified,
Demonstrably false.
The number of *named storms* is higher now than it ever was in the past!
*Chuck Todd actually excreted that argument on Meet the Press a while back. It’s SCIENCE, people. Stop denying it.
“The number of *named storms* is higher now than it ever was in the past!”
Oh, fer fuck’e sake, they now name rain showers and snow flurries.
And for all that, it’s still been over a decade since we’ve had to fall back on Greek letters from running out of names.
The number of *named storms* is higher now than it ever was in the past!
The number of known mountains is higher now than it ever was in the past. Therefor, climate change creates mountains.
Life expectancy is higher now than it ever was in the past. Therefore Climate Change prevents death.
Hasn’t this year’s hurricane season been much milder than usual?
That’s a sure sign of climate change. /you can’t win
The last several have been pretty tame, historically speaking. And of course our knowledge about what a hurricane season looks like doesn’t really pre-date weather satellites, so our baseline data is pretty shallow.
Imagine being Chuck Todd, knowing that everyone is whispering behind your back about how they use to watch Meet The Press before it was hosted by clown.
It’s kind of like being that British guy who replaced John McLaughlin on the McLaughlin group
Chuck Todd is an asshole. I used to respect him because he was one of the very few people on MSNBC who would display something like a critical journalistic instinct from time to time. I guess that’s over with.
Displaying journalistic integrity on MSNBC is a pretty low bar

https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1187032402087923713
This is my least favorite media trend (and there are a lot of them).
pretending that something is a story because a few people on social media said something.
Like I tell my son when he mentions the latest Twitter outrage, Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and most of them stink. Don’t get all wound up because a handful out of the billions of people on the planet are outraged.
It’s bad taste to publicly bag on your spouse, unless the spouse is in on the joke. I’m not sure where the sexism comes in.
Because you can’t criticize strong, independent women. They can’t handle it.
I don’t like it even then.
So, here’s a fun one.
I had a concrete apron poured today. Obvious work zone. Trucks and guys all over the place. Giant patch of obviously fresh concrete.
Amazon delivery person shows up and starts up the driveway. I was on the phone, thinking ‘holy shit, she’s headed right for the wet cement!’. Sure enough, before I could react, she stepped right into it. Luckily, it was an easy fix, but I was still annoyed.
What the fuck is with people and their lack of situational awareness?!?
You should take comfort in the fact that they probably ruined their shoes
The important thing is that you saved your package.
Fucking right! It was a boot dryer!
You need it to dry the boots after walking through the concrete?
Winter is coming, Jarflax.
?
Was she looking at her phone?
Allow me to make it even worse: She then got back into her delivery van and drove it.
Exactly!!!
“What the fuck is with people and their lack of situational awareness?!?”
Wait. Are we talking about Democrats?
“Freshman Democratic Rep. Katie Hill (D-Santa Clarita) on Tuesday denied allegations that she was having an inappropriate relationship with one of her staffers and also said intimate photos of her were posted online without her consent”
https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2019/10/23/rep-katie-hill-denies-allegation-of-relationship-with-staffer-calls-accusations-part-of-smear-campaign/
https://twitter.com/CBSLA/status/1186915489605476353
Yeah, OK, sure.
https://twitter.com/ComfortablySmug/status/1187029474086400000
I’m still trying to figure out how that photo isn’t of an inappropriate relationship with one of her staffers. I’m trying to imagine the conversation with my boss if there was a photo like that of me with one of my subordinates.
Actually, it would be a very short conversation. Two words: “You’re fired.”
Damn right! Some nosy boss tells you to stop banging candy stripers you freaking fire his ass!
Was that wrong?
never gets old
never not funny
I get the feeling that her Bosses wouldn’t mind seeing more nude pictures…
By bosses, you mean Pelosi, Hoyer, Clyburn, yeah, you’re probably right.
Exactly. This whole bit about, “Oh, my abusive husband is trying to stain my reputation” is the most cynical type of canard. It doesn’t matter if a goddamn burglar took that picture in the middle of robbing her blind, it’s still a picture of her, naked, with her staffer. If she were a man she’d already be out of office.
This is just going to give her more woke cred in California.
What I find even more stupid, if that’s possible, is who the hell would take pictures in such a situation?
Not a selfie, so it was a third party. Since this is supposedly a “throuple”, I would guess the cuckband.
He’s banging two chicks at the same time. I don’t think cuckolding applies.
Was he actually double-dipping?
Well…maybe. Sometimes the first woman in these things is using the triumvirate or whatever as cover because they want to dip their toes into lesbianism but either need to keep the beard or haven’t really come out yet. A guy I knew from high school got involved in one of these and it broke up after a year because the chicks left him for each other.
Some dumb thot who thinks she has nothing to worry about because she’s a member of the cool kids club. Everything about this screams, “I’m in a safe district and my position is basically a sinecure.”
Mmmmmm, unicorn.
So….who here has a link to the “intimate photos” themselves?
Correction – which guys here DON’T have a link to the intimate photos?
Well, just the one. Which still reminds me of the pics of monkeys picking lice out of each other’s hair.
I found it on DuckDuckGo with “Katie Hill staffer photo” in the images tab. It’s not exactly titillating, but it’s 100% inappropriate.
And her bare ass was on the couch
Oh, that’s so tilting. I won’t even put my own bare ass on my own couch that I paid for.
You’ve never had sex on a couch?
Naptown Bill = boring.
Sofa.
Davenport.
Divan.
All that means is he doesn’t let Mrs. Bill on top on the couch.
Chesterfield
Not mine, no. Other people’s furniture ain’t my concern, though. And hotel furniture obviously is fair game if you’re up to date on vaccinations.
And hotel furniture obviously is fair game
So she’s good then?
This is why leather furniture is the best. Easy to clean.
Oh, well, I guess that’s different. That’s basically a rental anyway.
You light up a Chesterfield, after the sex.
Hotel couch? You’re disgusting.

These stories always seem to come from Germany. The dudes that cooked and ate one of their penises were German too, although Josef Fritzl was Austrian.
The Germans have clearly been repressing emotions for generations.
Well, you get your asses stomped in a war and then get occupied for 50-60 years, fearing a communist invasion. Many of your invaders (French & English) take up space in your homeland, when without American help they would would be speaking German. Your hottest women get seduced by men that are middle and and lower-middle class at best, and then whisked away to America (Hi, Mom!). German men have basically been neutered, and the English and French are next.
