Well, my kids enjoyed a beautiful day off from school yesterday, courtesy of Hurricane Dorian. I mean, it rained for a couple of minutes in the afternoon, but that was the whole of it. Some hurricanes are like that. I sympathize with bureaucrats at all levels who are expected to DO SOMETHING!! five days before the storm is targeted to hit, when final track may be well outside of the Cone of Water Hoarding. For all the shit they take about it, at least in Florida, they’ve realized that it takes 2-3 days to do things like evacuate hospitals and stage relief efforts. It seems like huge overkill when the hurricane misses, but when it hits, people get saved.
I think this is evidence of Global Climate Change, and also the coming super caldera eruption that will kill millions. So, are the watermelons rooting for or against?
Way to conflate “radiation exposure” with medical imaging radiation exposure in calling MRI, CTs risky. How DARE! the peons want more medical imaging!
Whoa, The Onion made a funny?

Good afternoon (Glibs time), Brett L. Get through Dorian OK?
First!
No comment on the links?
Try again little buddy,
I had gathered from the recent comments that that rule no longer applied.
Get off my lawn.
Remember the old days when you had to get what today we call ‘links’ from America Online or Compuserve?
Prodigy or GTFO
If Yusef wants comments on the links, then here goes. And, in response to yesterday, the responses will not be one ‘wall of text.’
Apocalyptic manmade climate change, President Donald J. Trump, and both are the three acceptable (to rightthinkers, which means Left) answers to “What is the cause of the bad thing du jour, Alex?” None of those three In this case, the report is on a FOX affiliate and did not include any of those three. Are FOX affiliates more Right than national Fox News?
Steamboat is in Yellowstone National Park which is part of a park service which is subsidized rather than letting those who want national parks and those who go to national parks pay for it.
“the number of computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans is still on the rise in the United States”
If only there were a way to decentralize a mechanism for allocation of finite resources of services to get the number of scans to the ‘proper’ level given benefit, cost, and risk. See Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell followed by Thinking Beyond Stage One by Thomas Sowell.

So, fake news.
Ah, according to Brett L, the news is that The Onion has posted something, to quote Brett L, “funny.”
Chances that the Ds will actually do it?
“the first American gun confiscation effort since Lexington and Concord,”
Fake news, unless add a qualifier such as ‘large scale’ or ‘national.’
The commentariat of this site are already aware that 3 of the current big 4 Dem presidential 2020 (Biden, Harris, and Warren) all appear to want to diminish and/or eliminate 2A as much as they can get away with.
Sanders (not elected as a D)’s record has been to oppose 2A for cities and support 2A for rural.
Thanks to Mythical Libertarian Woman, we on this site know Yang’s position on “gun safety,” which does not go this far – yet. Guessing that the presumption on this site is that the 13 other professional politicians in the top 20 for the D nomination would also support flat-out making firearms illegal.
That leaves Steyer and Williamson. Williamson’s official policy on “gun control” is “the cultivation of enhanced gun control and gun safety to reduce the violence against the American people” with the anti-2A components of banning nongovernmental possession of “assault weapons” and banning the manufacture, distribution, and sale of ammunition.
Anyone here know what Tom Steyer’s campaign’s position is on 2A?
Testy, eh?
LOL

Interesting variant. Haven’t seen one with a safety like that.
I keep hearing that. Why do you dig them so much?
Ask Suthenboy.
Some people don’t like to cheaply and easily modify their rifles.
I’m thinking about buying some AR receivers.
The fun thing about have the receiver is you can get all the other parts mailed right to your door. Also you have the choice of my different calibers all with same receiver.
Exactly, the only lego part that’s actually the gun.
Primary reason is how reliable it is. I’ve had mine for more than 10 years now and I have literally never had a malfunction that wasn’t directly the fault of a particular faulty cartridge; and I’ve shot every kind of garbage ammo I could get my hands on.
The axis of the piston is also in a really good place for me such that the recoil is basically non-existent, making rapid follow-ups a breeze. Finally, even though it had a reputation of being inaccurate for a long time, my particular rifle is at least as accurate, if not more, as an AR.
The accuracy problems with the early rifles was due to the gas piston rod being flexible and off center of gravity for the rifle. That problem is fixed. Even with my blurry eyes I can still keep mine inside of an inch at 100. The rifle shoots more accurately than I can shoot anyway.
The one drawback of the Mini-14 is that the barrel can’t be easily changed in the field. That is the single reason the AR’s beat out the Mini-14 as our service rifle. It is dumb really. That seems like an easy enough re-design problem to fix.
You fire as many rounds as you want without hitting anything.

Great video from Paul Harrell is redundant.
Same general firearm as an AR
+ Doesn’t look as scary
Can be shorter for same barrel length
Piston recoil
Newer ones have the accuracy issue worked out.
– Not as modular as AR
Not ubiquitous
Little more complicated assembly/disassembly
+ Doesn’t look as scary
Can be shorter for same barrel length
Piston recoil
Newer ones have the accuracy issue worked out.
yup
And it is the same basic operating system as the M1A which is also on my wish list.

Imagine if they were serious people and the NRA really was a terrorist org. Think they would say anything about the NRA – knowing they’d be shot dead next time they set foot outdoors?
That is a heck of a point.

Doesn’t the definition of ‘terrorist organization’ include ‘violent acts committed to sew fear for the purpose of political change’?

US soccer star Kelley O’Hara stripped down to absolutely nothing for ESPN The Magazine’s 2019 The Body Issue.
The 31-year-old FIFA Women’s World Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist has worn quite a few uniforms over the course of her nearly decade-long professional career, but she ditched them all in favor of the skin she’s in for the magazine’s annual nude issue.

The “weapons of war” phrasing gals me.
Especially considering the entire point of the second amendment was to keep the people armed enough to fight a war, whether against a foreign tyrant or a domestic one. The reason for the amendment wasn’t for sport or even self-defense, although those are subsequently protected, but to preserve the people as an army in and of themselves.

Fun with numbers
The Trump administration has proposed a change in the way the federal government measures poverty. On the surface, this proposal may appear to be an innocuous, technical adjustment. It’s not. Instead, this change would dramatically reduce the number of people who qualify for vital basic assistance programs, including Medicaid, children’s health care and food assistance.
——–
The effects of the Trump administration’s proposed change would go far beyond Medicaid and food assistance. In fact, over 80 federal programs and policies use some form of the official poverty measure, including the Children’s Health Insurance Program, public housing programs and the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Millions of people who are struggling will lose access to these programs, causing greater poverty and hardship for millions of children and families.
Over the past 65 years, food spending for typical families has shrunk dramatically relative to other goods and services, so simply multiplying a family’s food costs would severely understate their financial need. Any honest attempt to update the poverty measure should include a wider range of basic needs – including housing, child care, long-term care, health care, access to internet and phone services, transportation and utilities. And that would result in more—not fewer—Americans identified as needing access to programs to ensure a basic foundation for every child and family.
In fact, the Obama administration began to develop that kind of modernized poverty measure. An extensive, interagency process led to the development of the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which quantifies the poverty threshold based on food, clothing, shelter and utility expenses, while taking into account family size, composition and geographical adjustments. The supplemental poverty measure, largely based on a consensus from the National Academy of Sciences, also subtracts necessary medical expenses and work-related expenses, such as child care, from income.
A nation of paupers. Paupers in dire need of government assistance. Noble, benevolent government to the rescue!
Fuck you, cut spending.
Less households qualifying for ‘entitlements’ is a move to “cut spending.”
Until some judge puts a stop to it.

I like FIRE. They’ve got style.
I assume Jones College is private, so they rules are different. I like FIRE too, but sometimes they forget about the private property angle.
Google was no help, the first page of listings for Jones College goes to the private school I referenced below.
I have never heard of a “private entity” that had the vast majority of its revenues subsidized by government. Where the company paid no taxes on any of its revenues or investments and was able to issue tax free debt for capital projects. And then had much of its curriculum and administration regulated by government.
On the other hand, Jones County Community College, which is where this story is located, is probably public, so FIRE away (pun intended).
Jones College closed in 2017. It was in Jacksonville, FL.
Public, aka government:

“Marieke Tuthill Beck-Coon”
Triggered.
The Obama administration was not alone in attempting to modernize the poverty measure. Several organizations and research centers set out to calculate livable incomes. The National Center on Children in Poverty created the Family Resource Simulator to illustrate the impact of work supports, including income tax credits and child care assistance, offering a more complete picture of how family resources change as earnings increase. NCCP suggests families typically need nearly twice as much as the official poverty level to make ends meet thanks to factors like rent and utilities, child care, health insurance premiums, out-of-pocket medical expenses, transportation, debt and payroll taxes. The Economic Policy Institute’s Family Budgets, MIT’s Living Wage Calculator and the University of Washington’s Self-Sufficiency Standards all came to similar conclusions.
Simply put, the common, necessary expense categories not fully accounted for in the official poverty measure means the costs we all face are substantially higher than what it implies.
Living wage! Fight for $50k!
We never hear about that angle. If the living wage people have their way there will be no justification for entitlements.
“Students shouldn’t have to seek permission — then wait three or more days — before they can exercise their First Amendment rights,” said Marieke Tuthill Beck-Coon, FIRE’s director of litigation. “If a ball threatens the administration so much that they call campus police, no speech is safe at Jones College.”

In all seriousness, I have a soft spot for Pat Buchanan because of his views on foreign policy that he was talking about back before it was cool.
I like him too. He was one of the few that reacted to the end of the Cold War correctly and he always had something good to say on the Mclaughlin Group.
I use to watch the McLaughlin Group religiously. It was hilarious when John would rib Pat.
I stumbled upon “A Republic, Not An Empire” by Buchanan by accident when I was in high school and it completely changed my perspective on government. I remember when MSNBC kept him around during the Bush years in order to criticize Bush about his foreign policy. Then when Obama won election and it became clear that the Democrats were pro-war again they dropped him like a hot potato.
The magazine that he co-founded, The American Conservative, is still probably the best publication for foreign policy news.
Scott Horton even interviewed Buchanan a couple of weeks ago
#metoo
Even better when Pat put that ditzy Eleanor Clift in her place.
He was awesome on the TMG.
Elenore Clift not so much.
I was especially a fan of his strange anti-semitism.
Which is today not “antisemitism” if you are a Democratic member of Congress.

That is literally all I ate throughout college (plus Raman noodles). I legitimately thought I was going to get scurvy in college.
This kid is a pussy
Smells like fake news.
BREAKING: Billy Is A Stupid Asshole
“Billy, who lives in #Austin, voluntarily turned in his AK-47 to police today.
He says it’s a response to recent mass shootings in the Lone Star State.
Story on @fox7austin tonight!”

I’ve been assured by our professional cops that guns can just go off.
You have to be professional.

Fuck Billy.
I say we all don’t let him sit with us during lunch at the reeducation camps.
You are a truly awful human being. That’s why I come here. Thank you.

*tips hat*
I am so much more manly than he is.
That picture needs a thought bubble over the cop’s head – “thanks for the new rifle, sap.”
I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving those people a gun. They have a long history of violence.
Sure, I totally believe this really happened, with no planning and staging at all.

That poor girl is supposed to be the black sheep in a family that includes Eric Trump.
I feel really bad for her.
I’ve never seen Megan McCain and Tiffany Trump in the same room together.
Jus’ sayin’
First of all it’s *Meghan* McCain – get your facts right, lib – and the latest video she released is weird af
Christ, what an asshole!
Some of the things her father said about her were really fucked up, but I can’t say that I’m surprised by any of it because he did have a temper.
So it’s a video of her colonoscopy?
I’m starting to miss Demi Rose.
‘Vaping illness’ is the scary new threat gripping smokers
OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING
That’s one more year of medical school.
It’s already illegal for kids to vape in New York, and illegal in public for everyone, and taxed at 20%.
I think kids might be more inclined to admit his behavior if it weren’t totally shunned.
You know what’s NOT new?
Vaping.
*checks link*
The Post. Of course.
I bet they’re using those assault vapers now, aren’t they? Black and with a thing that goes up? And probably a large vape magazine that holds more vapes than anyone needs.
Would explain why the Post’s other big crusade is gun control.
The stench of desperation is heavy.
Vaping turned into a pandemic in one summer even though it’s been around for years.
It’s not perfect, but it works well, they can fuck right off,
It was more of a commentary on how vaping suddenly became a national emergency somehow.
They made it too hard to get opiates, so someone had to come up with a new national scariest crisis ever.
Mafia masquerading as a human rights organization.

Scarlett Johansson on Woody Allen: ‘I Believe Him, and I Would Work With Him Anytime.’
Someone has an opinion we disagree with!
Italy – great country, or the greatest country?
Barely a country I think. It’s what 158 years old?
The United States officially recognized in 1861 the unification of Italy. That would be 158 +/- 2 years for unification if count that as the start of Italy, or 157-158 (depending on day of year) if count US government as the arbiter of the point in the unification process that counts as the start.
Costituzione della Repubblica Italiana was enacted by the Constituent Assembly on 22 December 1947. That would be 71 years.
“How dare you defend Woody Allen!” said the same people who applauded Roman Polanski just ten years ago and were fine with Woody Allen until just yesterday.
What changed?
What did he do again?
nothing wrong.
Slept with his girlfriend’s adopted daughter. Technically not wrong but shady as hell.
I am well aware of what he did.
I think you mean not criminal. I certainly think it’s wrong to sleep with you GF kid.
If you say so.
He didn’t drug the teen first.
She liked it?
/Ducks.,
*winces and groans*
Well, she did marry him, so…
Diddled his step daughter. Or not his stepdaughter, the adopted daughter of his paramour Mia Farrow. Later married that adopted daughter. Or something like that….the whole thing is some weird soap opera bullshit that no one can really sort out. In any case I don’t recall any accusations of rape even if it wasn’t rape-rape.
Not with Soon Yi, But Dylan Farrow did accuse him of rape
Oh, that’s right. I said I couldn’t keep up. Who knows how much if any of that is true. He is too weird and his accuser s have too much motive to lie.
I am happier not knowing more about it.
He is arrogant. Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he’s not. He’s scared. He hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation. It’s people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups.
“These pretzels are making me thirsty”
Look here douchebag, I wouldn’t have to pretend to be stupid if I wasn’t surrounded by retards.

Multiple Netflix Series Will Now Drop Episodes Weekly Instead of All at Once
I hope they bring MASH back next.
Not a good move. Defeats the main purpose of the service: watch on your own schedule.
I agree, although I think it might be a defense against pirates.
I like to think of myself as more of an archivist.
They are trying to preemptively setup for the next cycle of the streaming wars…
Since there are going to be so many providers you only sign on for one month, binge for 30 days. Then go on to the next provider.
Releasing a show once a week will keep the must see it right away, so that I can talk to my peer group about it locked into paying for the streaming services.
The dropping of shows from Netflix, and the next streaming service that bought the rights not giving access to the shows right away has brought me back to torrenting content. I suspect that Britbox is going to do the once a week release as well… well rather than wait for 3 months to watch a show that is on PBS today.. I’ll find an archive.
I’ve been using Plex for a couple years and am quite smitten with it. I’m my own streaming service.
So they re-invented regular TV?
Just wait till some bold new service starts bundling the content from multiple streaming services for a price way lower than you could buy access to all of them at, but the kicker is you can’t pick and choose between them, it is an all or nothing deal.
Radical!
Brett – I agree about the Florida bureaucrats choosing safety. Yeah, PITA when people have to get out of town for no reason, but if they get it wrong, there will be a line out the TV station’s door of people bearing (metaphorical) knives.
The advent of 24 hour news changed the equation significantly. The Weather Channel is highly motivated to overstate the risk so they can keep the eyeballs glued and demand higher ad rates.
I seem to remember fatalities caused because of an unnecessary evacuation. Rita, maybe?
Fair point.

Trump Raids Elementary Schools to Pay for Wall; Mexico Off Hook
Let’s hope Congress finds the funds somewhere else.
Schools in Japan? Why are we even there?
We must not allow a tentacle porn gap.
No school should cost $80 Million or more.
Lol, that’s cheap these days.
Gotta pay for all of those solar panels and high end HVAC systems that recycle the air until the inside CO2 hits 3000ppm.
Clearly we need to get the government out of the school construction business.
3000? Thats for indoor grow ops bra!
You make an interesting point.
I would t pay more than $65 million for one. Tops.
More so, we have treaties, we should back them with force, maybe a bomber full of 250 gram nukes over a Harbor, then see what happens,
It’s time to create a conservative ecosystem that doesn’t welcome racists
REAL CONSERVATIONISM is about OWNING THE LIBS!
First thing they need to do is stop voting for Democratic machines in the big cities.
Look man, it’s those filthy non-existent rethugliKKKans in those cities that are driving them to vote blue.
But the Rebublicans always lose, why not vote Demo? They always win.
Why stand for values when, Money!¡!!
How about individualism instead?
Libertarianism is progressivism going five miles over the speed limit
I said individualism, libertarianism doesn’t appear to have much to do with that concept lately.
Well done, sir
lol okay
This. There is so much wrong with that I hardly know where to start. Blacks and Hispanics don’t have worse outcomes. People who make poor choices or have fucked up priorities have worse outcomes. Young men shot on the streets are overwhelmingly shot by young men of their own cultural group. Who pushes abortion? Who built the welfare state? Who welcomed both with open arms? Overcoming decades of injustice involves what, exactly?
I suspect Timmy has drawn up a blueprint for decades more of poor outcomes in the name of overcoming injustice. More of the same shit we have seen for the last 100 years.
Whatever it involves stopped in its tracks in 1964 or so, because from 1900-1960, blacks were slowly overcoming decades of injustice, certainly in the economic sphere.
Imagine thinking the opposing the nonsense of intersectionality makes you a bigot by default.
Conservatism is progressivism driving the speed limit
Conservatism is thinking you can make principled stands by defining your principles by what’s acceptable to societies principals. Bravery and conviction are antithetical to conservativism.
Conservatism is the living embodiment of cowardice and contradiction.
Cite needed. Shooting each other and aborting babies is not a symptom of things not being “fair”, IMHO.
I love how conservatives and libertarians are really just controlled opposition trying to see who can suck up more to their woke overlords without seeming like complete sellouts.
Between Gillespie’s “libertarian intersectionality” and National Review’s “intersectionality is science” it’s hard to figure out who should be mocked and ridiculed more
Your second paragraph confuses me. Please provide references so I can be flabbergasted and appalled.
Nah. I don’t even know what it means.
Gillespie regurgitated some verbal diarrhea on Thaddeus Russell’s podcast about how he believes in “libertarian intersectionality”. When asked to explain he just fumbled around and basically mirrored the progressive definition of intersectionality. It was so dumb that Russell lost interest in what the old man was spouting.
*barf*
As a certified and accredited astrologer, as well as a Rattus-American, I am uniquely qualified to say: Intersectionality is not a science.
Ok, but what does that have to do with racial disparities in sentencing?
If that’s true, that is the kind of cite that is needed. More than just “not fair”.
Clearly it’s all due to our white supremacist society.
I’m not going to defend the criminal justice system, but I remember a time when libertarians weren’t so lazy and eager to please the latest fad with their arguments.
I suppose the disparity in sentencing between whites and Asians means we live in an Asian supremacist society.
There are actual real world examples of racially motivated policies in most American cities where the poor (which are disproportionately minorities) are targeted for ghettoization or literally paid off to leave cities. But, I’ve never heard any criticism of this by conservatives or libertarians.
Just keep driving the speed limit.
For fucks sake, a God damn carbon tax would add costs disproportionately higher on the poor and minorities. Teachers unions, especially in cities, advocates against the best interest of poor and minority students.
Yet, I won’t hold my breath waiting to read an article from CATO or its “Libertarianism” front talking about the racist policies of environmentalists.
No, it’s much easier to be lazy and scream “muh…white supremacy” rather than addressing the actual policy problems. They’ll get their pat on the head from rich whites, while advocating for no actual policy that in anyway helps the poor or minorities
“For fucks sake, a God damn carbon tax would add costs disproportionately higher on the poor and minorities.”
Here’s the thing that voters actually need to know. The democrats plan to ‘tax the rich’ is nothing more than a diversion. Because they know damn good and well that they cannot tax the rich at the levels they are talking about and even if they could it wouldn’t generate the massive amount of new revenue they need for these multi-trillion dollar new plans they go on about. The rich will leave, because they can, or just close down their businesses and the jobs will go with it. Any additional taxation will fall square on the shoulders of middle class workers via payroll. They know this full well and they don’t care. Equality is that they say we need and we will get it by all being equally poor, except for the elite ruling class.
“About 1/2 of one percent of Americans are in jail. If y ou separate that population by race….”
If you do you are a dumbass. Go visit a jail. What you will find is that the people there mostly share a common culture. It is a culture that produces an abundance of Alpha males, people that think physical violence or threats are an acceptable way for them to get what they want. People who excuse theft and people who have long records of criminal behavior. People who have no respect for the concept of self-ownership for all. They don’t believe that all people are created equal. They believe they are special and their wants supersede yours. They have poor impulse control, quick to anger and violence and always blame everyone but themselves for their circumstances.
People who divide them by skin color are exceedingly dishonest or just plain have their head up their own racist assholes. Keep that up and the problem will never go away.
The main thing the people have in common there is income. The vast vast vast majority of those in jail come from lower income backgrounds. And the negative attributes you associate with those in prison is really a lower income culture. But that’s not en vogue with educated whites (for obvious reasons) so of course they’ll ignore that and focus on race.
It is very very telling how uncomfortable libertarians and conservatives are with discussing class, but they sure seem a lot more accommodating about dividing people by race (an even less quantifiable group attribute). Funny how that works.
Well, you’re right. The common theme is poverty. With regards to race, depending on where you are. Visit a jail in Baltimore, most of the inmates are going to be black. In WV, it will be mostly whites. Poverty is the common denominator.
It’s a viscous circle too. Poor people go out of their way to make all the decisions that ensure they stay poor.
“It’s a viscous circle too. Poor people go out of their way to make all the decisions that ensure they stay poor.”
Sure, there are all sorts of reasons, fatherless homes, drug abuse, stupid parents breeding and having dumb kids.
Conservatives ought to make it a priority to fight for the fundamental dignity and equality of racial minorities who have been denied that dignity and equality.
The sticking point is all in how you define “dignity” and “equality”. Striving for such high-minded terms has been the justification for a whole lotta bad things (see: communism).
It’s all about equality these days. Sort of like how we now hear all of this ‘health equity’. WTF? Health equity? So results and progress are no longer the desired path, now it’s all about equity. So what if you die from some new Bubonic plague, as long as everyone dies too.
From the article:
I would not recall these names: Jonah Bennett and John Elliott.
However, the former was mentioned in Taranto’s column that I read daily for more than a decade.

The Fleshlight Is a Portal to the Future of Sex
I am only halfway through the piece – it’s a history book on the Fleshlight.

“I borrowed a friend’s (unused) Fleshlight”
Unused. Sure, bud. Whatever you have to tell yourself.
Why the hell didn’t he just buy a new one?

It feels very good and isn’t my hand – it really isn’t that complicated.
I tried cooking some Swiss chard tonight. I don’t know if I like it or if it’s just the fact that anything cooked in olive oil, garlic, and Tony Chacere’s is pretty tasty.
Try a dash of malt vinegar.
Does it matter? It’s good for you and you think it’s tasty. I put it in soups as well.
Swiss chard > kale.
Trust me on this. I’ve grown both.
No such thing as chard and corn though. Well, you can make it, but it’s not a thing.
Kale has it’s place. Just not as chips.
True.
I just spent a few days down in Kansas City centered around a visit to the World War 1 museum. My best point of comparison is the World War 2 museum in New Orleans. The WW1 museum is much smaller — we only spent about 4-5 hours there, and my girlfriend and I were comfortably able to get through everything. The same amount of time at the WW2 museum got me through maybe a third of it — admittedly, though, I move a bit slow at museums. If I had a bit more time at the WW1 museum, I’d have spent it in their research library — they have some neat source material that I could’ve gotten lost in for a few hours.
On the whole, I enjoyed the museum. They don’t go too deep into any particular subject — for example, I figured they’d either have a full replica trench to walk through, or do a deep dive into one of the big battles. My glibertarian complaint is that the museum is too pro-US-entry-into-the-war, but that’s a minor quibble.
For the foodies, the BBQ place we went to is BB’s, a bit south of the city. Their ribs were extremely tender, and my whiskey-coke was quite boozy.
Unrelated question for the Minnesota glibs — any recommendations on a car wash in the MSP area or surrounding suburbs with full (free, preferably) vacuum service?

Where the Florida Glibs at?
What a great day for some beach combing.
Yeah, I’ll get right on that.
“At around 8 a.m. Tuesday, a beachgoer alerted a police officer to the suspicious package. The package of cocaine appears to say “D-I-A-M-A-N-T” on it, according to a photo from the Melbourne Police Department.”
What a bitch.
“See something, snort something.”
Lach – to me, it’s kind of funny that illegal drugs are often branded. Both in that it shows the futility of the drug war, and that buyers would care about the perceived (or actual) quality of their illicit narcotics.
Rhywun : )
I would imagine that at the large volume distribution level, the quality of the product is a big selling point and the reputation of the manufacturer is on the line for its product, thus branding.
Makes perfect sense to me. Just watch out for the bricks labeled C.I.A. they are probably shit quality.
Actually, those were the best.
Diverted from internal supply.
Sold to support the Contras, etc.

Yep.

And I wondered why P. Brooks ran away. A set up like that….
He just would have shown up at the wrong place for the second date.
Oh please. He doesn’t even flirt on line where there’s no cost or consequences.
I was watching MST3K, and they did “Overdrawn At The Memory Bank”.
Always reminds me of gem from the 80s.
What a glorious mess of a movie.
Jesus, someone decided it would be a good idea to take the worst aspects of Rush, Styx, and REO Speedwagon and combine them?
You never heard of Zebra ?
/flips mullet
I really should have, 80’s hair/pop/shitty rock was right in my wheelhouse for a while, but I’m drawing a blank on Zebra, I blame the excess of that shit available at the time.
Arguably, their biggest “hit”.
Good lord, that’s almost as bad as that chick rock shit Tulip just linked to.
No accounting for taste
I made it through 5.5 songs, honestly it didn’t suck, just not my bag for a full albums worth.
I saw them open for BÖC. They were awful.

Someone else, I think maybe Crusty, posted a Vox article the other week that was actually journalism. Good on them, it’s refreshing to see that.
Sleater-Kinney has a new album out and I’m enjoying it.
Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl is on my list to review
Huh. I have a 20-year-old song of theirs in my library. Never got around to checking them out more.
You can’t trust a band without a bassist. You can like them, but never trust them.
Well then, this band should make you Happy!
They had two!
That takes me back. Since we’re (kind of) on the subject, I nominate this for best bass solo / outro for a punk band.
“I can’t believe I used to like these guys.”
HAven’t listened to them in a long time. Will listen.

The Arsenic’s too damn high!
I don’t get it.
I’m taking him literally – that the monetary outlay to poison a child is too high, not the figurative ‘societal cost’ of pollutants and what not that he is probably actually talking about. Imagine he’s at a drug store counter bitching because the Kid-B-Gon® tablets are $7.99 each. In humor, see, one sets up a premise and then flips it to elicit a surprise reaction in the audience, perhaps it works better if one saw the image before reading my link text. although I thought the hover text did a nice job, of course many people don’t check for hover texts on links even though they are a pivotal part of many link joke deliveries,
That or I drank lunch and haven’t stopped since and am just typing to amuse myself. unlike the normal witty interaction you all expect from me.
So, I see that a local medical centric U recently started a study to study, psychedelics. Yes, the trippy drug sort. So, basically looks like you may be able to sign up to do some trippin and maybe even get paid for it. Sorry, I can’t disclose because non-disclosure and all that, but not too hard to find if you’re into the idea. I’ll pass, I have to keep the few brain cells that alcohol have not already killed off. I’d suggest not walking around in Balmer after you ingest.
