Well the Astros are leading 5-4 (Update: 6-4, now 7-4, now 8-4…now 10-4! Early morning edit: they won!) as I type this. I have to hope they win (again) but I don’t think I’ll be awake for the finale. I’ve got to get up and on the road…about an hour before this goes up. Headed to DFW to look at a couple of dozers and a bunch of trucks. Let’s hope they’re all they were made out to be. Dodgers and D-backs yet to start and Wimbledon continues to be uneventful.
It’s art and sports, dammit! ESPN wouldn’t lie.
Either way, I think we can all agree that we miss hockey. (Look to the right!)
Anyway…um…yeah…let’s get…um…on to…the links!

Lindsay Lohan wants people to stop bullying the biggest shitposter in the whole fucking world. Now that’s funny!
Amanda Marcotte still has the stick up her ass. The title has “bigotry” in it, but I have yet to be shown how the WWF (I’ll never call it the WWE, so suck it!) Trump-CNN meme is bigoted. Against who, reporters? (TW!!!!!! Not only is it Salon, its Marcotte! You have been duly warned. Enter at your own risk.)
I never got into the show, but apparently the BBC might make the next Dr. Who a woman. Supposedly that’s a really big deal. I wouldn’t know. I just want them to bring back Basil Fawlty, et al.
Sorry, sir. You’ll have to s(h)it somewhere else.
Anaheim has no heart. Those aren’t just benches! They’re also cots and shitters and…well, more than I would care to dwell on. Let’s see when the backlash starts on this one.
You know your city is a shithole when the goddamn FIREFIGHTERS are complaining that you got them the wrong body armor because what you bought isn’t very good against stabbings. The firefighters. And their body armor. Sweet Jesus.
Happy Birthday, Banjos. (See featured image)
Go out there and make it a great day, friends!
How do you use a bench to go somewhere?
Also, would not sit on those benches.
Is this a new record early weekday links?
Probably, I came to look over last nights links. Stumbled onto a first.
I think they are trying to make up for the as of late tardy links.
With the exception of Monday, I thought my links were always in before 7 AM.
All you link providers look the same to me.
LINKPHOBE!
I wouldn’t say “always before 7am.” But I’d give you “always before 7:15am.”

As for the BBC, it’s time for them to shut it down. They’re long past their heyday, braodcasting isn’t a government function in the first place, and the draconian measures used to collect the “Television License” are beyond what gets used for other taxes in the western world.
That’s even before we get into the rot that’s overtaken the institution…
When my college friend moved to England, she did not get a TV because she refused to pay that ridiculous license. She had an actual inspector come to her house to make sure she was secretly watching Eastenders on some bootleg smuggled street TV. How many licenses did they have to sell to pay for an inspector to visit an individual’s house? Seems efficient.
Sounds like England is socialism by other means now but no one wants to admit it.
I have no idea what’s going on there but I don’t like the smell of it.
Obligatory:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn1Y7nhB16U
Yeah. ?
Second.
The Brits also employ teams in specially equipped vans that drive around trying to figure out who might be watching tv without paying the tax. They’ve lost their minds.
How are they dealing with tablets/computers/netflix/etc?
The license is to pay for the BBC, so Netflix isn’t part of that. To watch BBC on tablets, you need to download the app and enter your license info to activate it.
My mind is blown.
There is no end to this garbage. Just keep piling on the layers, and never examine whether it should be done.
I guess you could at least say it’s a user fee and not a tax on everyone, regardless of whether they watch BBC. But de-coupling the BBC from govt altogether would be best. They’re now competing with satellite and internet. But government institutions have never had to compete in the open market.
Detroit has money to not only pay firefighters but armored firefighters?
Detroit is the city of the future. It’s a glimpse of tomorrow. And I mean that.
I’D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!
I’d sell it to you for that and laugh my way to the convenience store to buy gum.
They don’t actually pay them, they just allow them to loot, which is why they need good body-armor.
Well I’ll just make a mess of this thread.
Lindsay Lohan, voice of reason. Let the apocalypse come soon and with great destruction!
Is it possible she’s being the voice of reason because that’s the craziest thing possible? Or maybe Trump helped her realize that when you’re famous, you can grab attention by the pussy and it just lets you do it?
The fourth estate shall not be mocked. It’s in the constitution, look it up.
Happy birthday Banjos!
Sloopy taking care of the kids then?
Nah, they’re at the babysitters. He’s driving to Dallas to look at some equipment for a deal he’s working on, I’m at work.
“Lindsay Lohan wants people to stop bullying the biggest shitposter in the whole fucking world. Now that’s funny!”
I saw that on the Daily Mail the other day. I was going to post “Famous Muslim Supports Trump”. Then a few clicks later I found out she really isn’t one.
Anyway, as crazy as she is, Lohan is Marie Curie, Ayn Rand, and Virginia Woolf rolled into one, compared to Amanda Marcotte.
Marcotte is one of those women who deserve to get some real gender equality, good and hard.
Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

German soldiers banned from wearing uniforms during G20 summit amid attack fears
I wonder what they’d do in the event of, you know, an actual fucking war.
Collapse like wet cardboard.
Ask those meanie Americans to take care of it.
Pretty much. Look how they got the vapors when Trump mildly suggested that we might not be so enthusiastic about defending them if they didn’t start pulling their weight.
Used to be, that the German Army had a small but very competent corps of professional soldiers. They also have pretty good equipment.
But german society? Yeah…
From what I saw in Afghanistan – that is over with.
When the Wall fell, so did the Bundeswehr.
Oh, don’t you worry. They’r on track to do exactly that. And America will have to clean it up and the Europeans will then not pay them back.

Not only not pay it back but then bitch about how awful the Americans are.

While I am often first to denigrate the Frogs, the first world war fell within the 20th century… True, it wasn’t smart heroics, but still. Credit where it’s due.
Yeah, WW1 hit them particularly hard, leaving them with a small pool for conscription in WW2.
UCS, MS, good points. Also, while the WWII performance of the French Army left a lot to be desired, it was mainly a failure from the top – leadership who didn’t recognize the new type of warfare the Krauts had just done in Poland, and who thought tanks couldn’t get through the Ardenne forest, etc.. Le paysans who defended Dunkirk to let a lot of pommies (and a lot of their own) to escape showed some balls.
“Diane, Sandy Koufax just smacked me in the head.”
Ironic – saw lots of Polish soldiers in uniform at Trump’s speech today. They seemed pretty proud. Talk about two countries headed in opposite directions.
Perhaps the military spirit really was in Prussia, which explains why the Poles now have it.
But it doesn’t explain why it still takes so many dang Poles to screw in a light bulb
Poland is also the only NATO country other than the US that pulls its own weight, with 2.01% of its GDP going towards defense. The original NATO agreement states that at least 2% of your GDP has to be devoted to defense.
Maybe having your country partitioned multiple times over the past few centuries makes you kind of… defensive?
My guys that are still in – they tell me the Poles are convinced Ivan is coming again. They are going to fight this time – and they will help the Balts too.
There’s no way the Russians try to invade Poland. The Russians have a force of about 500K mostly poorly-motivated conscripts with less than state-of-the-art equipment. The Poles have a force of about 300K well-trained, well-equipped, and highly-motivated people, as well as the backing of NATO. So the Russians would run into a force defending their own home without having a significant numerical advantage while the Poles would enjoy NATO air superiority and reinforcements. The Russians would get ground up like hamburger, and they know it.
Not to mention that such an adventure would leave them wide open to a massive nut-shot from the Turks and/or the ChiComms.
Reminds me of when I was a freshman doing ROTC way back in 1994 when there were constant protests on campus about lifting the ban on gays. We were ordered not to wear our uniforms around campus and not to talk to reporters. We had to bring our uniforms in a bag and get dressed at the ROTC building.
The left has always been so tolerant.
Don’t worry, when I was in ROTC ten years later, they pretty much acted the same way.
Oh Guardian, never stop being you:
Are witches the ultimate feminists?
counting up black lace shawls and artisan smudge sticks while navigating the complexities of appropriation and its functionality as a gateway for would-be witches.
“No, Donnie, it’s okay, they’re goths, they’re harmless.”
That just screams “LOOK AT ME, I’M RETARDED”
“sex workers’ rights and the unique oppression faced by witches of color”
You can’t fool me. This was written with one of those word generators.
I wonder if she realizes that witchcraft was invented by a man and only goes back to the 1940’s, with come claiming an earlier origin of the 1920’s although it was clearly Gardner who created and spread what we now call witchcraft.
Further I hate to break it to them but before becoming infected by feminism in the 70’s witchcraft required both the male and the female and worshiped “The Lord” and “The Lady” equally. Claims of practitioners of anything resembling witchcraft going back past that are complete garbage and all of the nature based pagan religions in the Western and Middle Eastern world were exterminated by around the 12th century and outside of the Druids of the Celtic lands (who were all males) and the Norse traditions (also, generally run by men but surprisingly the Norse were more meritocratic than most are aware of and it was not unheard of for a woman to rise to positions of great power) we don’t have the slightest clue what the religious practices of those earlier people were
“liberated women and radical liberationary politics”
This is the “not paying for my abortion is oppression” liberties. These people wouldn’t get liberty if it hit them over the head.
So the DNC insists there is nothing to hide and that CrowdStrike took care of everything. That must mean that the official Democratic Party platform will state that private business is better than government for providing services. amirite?

When you are trying to cover your ass, yes private is better.

They’re the party of hip, cool, bay area millennials. They know everything about IT security. Just ask these guys.
That whole story is crazy. It would be so great to see Wassermann-Schultz and the others go down for this. Not holding my breath.
I don’t know why anyone would want to see DWS go down, you pervert!

What v probably happens is those aides were hired to do something illegal and got some insurance on the way. I love how Donald was obstructing Justice when he fired Comey, but Shultz was A-OK when she threatened the Capitol police chief over the investigation.
That must mean that the official Democratic Party platform will state that private business is better than government for providing services. amirite?
Great point. I have read two articles this morning on the 50th anniversary (yesterday) of FOIA. Maybe that is why they don’t want it in gov hands. Opens it to foia lawsuits. Although, if we are claiming that the supposed hacking of said dnc server was an, “attack on our electoral process”, maybe it should be open to foia anyway.
I also appreciated both articles, by the same author, glossed over the worst track record for foia of any administration since the law was passed…….aka the Obama administration. but Trump being in office for six months is the end of government transparency. Trump does suck there on a few things (WH visitor logs…etc) so far, but focusing on six months while glossing over Obama’s eight years of abuse kind of irritates me.
Here was one of the articles
Hey glibs! Hope you all are having a great morning. For my long drive to Lake George this weekend, I’m looking for some good libertarian podcasts. Any recommendations?
I thought “podcasts” died out.
I’m behind the times I guess. Maybe just a Henry Hazlitt audio book will do.
Not libertarian but I routinely listen to:
True Crime Garage
Casefile
Embedded
Breakdown
All True Crime stuff.
Thanks! Those sound good!
Casefile has a good Aussie accent. True Crime Garage are two guys drinking beer and discussing famous cases. Embedded isn’t really true crime, but it’s reporters actually, uh, embedding themselves in a real situation. Like staying all day in a drug house, or covering shootings by police. Breakdown concentrates on one specific case a season.
Not explicitly libertarian, but Jordan B Peterson is always worth listening to.
Thanks! Ill check it out.
Not libertarian by a long shot, but most of them are very funny.
The Dollop (http://thedollop.libsyn.com/the-rube) The one on Rube Waddell that I linked to is fucking great
Sort of libertarianish is Penn’s Sunday School
I’ve enjoyed Jason Stapleton
Not libertarian, but if you like videogames, check out the “Giant Bombcast”. A bunch of old-heads that have been in the industry for decades.
NERD
Yes.
Not libertarian really, but love Hardcore History. The free stuff should give you 30-40 hours of listening.
Yessir….I’m nearing the conclusion of Blueprint to Armageddon. I’m not a big podcast guy but, as a history buff who really didn’t know much about the Great War, I’ve loved it.
42 thumbs up to this suggestion.
The Persian series and the Wrath of the Khans series were probably my favorites.
The Fifth Column is libertarianish. Reason has podcasts. I know, I know we are all here after the Great Exodus. There are some very good interviews among their podcasts.
Tom woods is great. Free talk live used to be semi decent but haven’t listened in years (got repetitive). My fav all time is liberty conspiracy.com. there are no new ones, he quit doing them forever ago, but he’s great. I always felt like my IQ jumped a few points after listening to him. But again, there aren’t new ones. But hes supposed to start doing them again.
Thanks for all the recs! Should be a fun road trip now.
The Tom Woods Show, Stefan Molyneux, Styxhexanhammer, Mises Weekends, and Gavin McInnes (outside of Rebel Media) has some great interviews.
Econtalk.
dammit.
econtalk
Also — How Did This Get Made? with Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas is funny. The live shows are better than the in-studio ones.
Not libertarian but I really like the Eastern Border.
A bunch of really short “middle school level” explainers by Madsen Pirie, titled “Economics is fun”.
Paging John!
This New Ashley Graham Lingerie Line Is Purple Perfection
For a “plus-sized” model she looks good. I was expecting a landwhale like that Holiday woman when I saw the words “plus-sized” as the page was loading.
Here’s something more to your liking.
Yeah, there’s one of those landwhale I was talking about. *barf*
I mean, she should probably be more ashamed of snooping on the private text messages of some random guy who was sitting next to her than being a gluttonous butterball.
I was in Walmart a couple weeks ago and was talking to someone on the phone as I was cramming my way through the impenetrable wall of obese old fucks in their complementary motorized scooters parked in front of every goddamn thing on my shopping list. In frustration I blurted out, in a voice that was apparently loud enough to be heard by quite a few very offended people, something along the lines of “Every fucking person in this store is at least 400 pounds and I’m the one with high cholesterol.” THAT is how you fat-same someone.
(fat-shame, not fat-same. don’t grammar-shame me)
I thought you were saying that you couldn’t get your scooter around their scooters.
*opera applause*
Now that we can buy booze on Sunday in Minnesoda, maybe there is hope to be able to buy a car too?
Not so fast says local constitutional lawyer who has defeated such silliness in the past.
Cars and booze are completely different.
Basically a bunch of hand waving about how booze and cars are not the same and it is fine and dandy for the govt to stop you from being able to buy a car on Sunday. Basically it breaks down into the same thing: car dealerships want to save money by closing on Sunday. If their competitors are allowed to stay open, then they all have to stay open.
For the love of christ man, if they can buy liquor and cars on the same day it will be a wanton orgy of drunken vehicular homicide.
Solution: let them buy cars on Sunday, but with a 3 day waiting period.
I think some / many of the dealerships would stay closed on Sunday or a lot of that day. Plenty of people go through lots on Sundays looking at cars without being hassled by a salesmen.
In my area (Columbus) there’s a dealership that literally advertises “Closed Sundays to be with our families, because it’s the right thing to do.”
Surprisingly, I think this is going to become a good marketing tactic. In my area, a lot of retail businesses now close for most holidays and proudly state it – “because our employees deserve to see their families too!” I actually don’t shop on holidays because I hated having to work that shift when I was in retail.
People like it when businesses do this kind of signaling, and I’m okay with that. Fuck the Minnesota government from forcing it on people though.
Back in the day, I loved working on holidays because it was time and a half (or double time) and a lot of times it was pretty slow. I never had to work retail on a Black Friday. (although working at a restaurant on Mother’s Day had to be just as bad).
Fourth of July at the helpdesk was the easiest time and a half I ever earned. We were open because there might be Canukistani callers – but the volume was exactly nil.
Works for Chick-fil-a.

That’s what I was trying to figure out. In the pipeline? What the hell is that supposed to mean? I guess every scam needs a disaster that is forever just around the next bend.
It means they were totally wrong about warming over the last 20 years, but it’s totally going to happen, just you wait, now give us all your money and freedom.
Its in Louisville waiting to get the call to drive to Cincinnati.
Cincy switching their AAA team to Louisville has been a huge help to the players. If a pitcher gets a “we are calling you up for an emergency start and sending you right back down” call, they know they can still be sleeping in their bed back in Louisville after the game.
Is this the study where they use the new “corrected” satellite temp data that didn’t correspond to the “corrected” surface temp data and the models? You have to “correct” the data when it doesn’t match your model was my take on that study.
Nope totally different study

Why white people can’t dance: they’re traumatized
http://selfishactivist.com/why-white-people-cant-dance-theyre-traumatized/
“This left me with a profoundly different understanding of race and its relationship to the body. And it has brought me to this conclusion 9 years later: White people ‘can’t dance’ because white-ness is a traumatized state that is disconnected from the body. That’s what the aforementioned phrase really means.
As I deepened my understanding of trauma and anatomy, I began to see that white-ness is much more than a colour of skin or a culture – it’s a type of embodiment that holds a certain set of ideas and attitudes. And I saw this first hand by watching myself and my white peers heal by learning to dance.
….
The major muscle in our body that holds trauma is our iliopsoas which connects our spine to our pelvis. It is the muscle responsible for engaging us in our stress reactions of fight, flight and freeze. Trauma locks up the use of this muscle, which in turn reduces the range of movement of the spine. Westernized/colonized life reinforces trauma to produce a rigid, reactive and disassociated embodiment -what we call white-ness.
How I understand white-ness now is that it is an energetic imbalance caused by a loss of spinal fluidity and awareness of the lower body. Emotional energy becomes concentrated in the upper body, particularly gathering in the mind. To live in a world dominated by white-ness is to live in an environment that denies and protects white-ness as embodied trauma.”
Ok this is kinda funny
Please tell me this is sattire.
It’s as accurate as many other articles written.
Excuse me a moment. I need to go set the world on fire.
It both denies and protects. And this somehow seems to actually make sense to someone.
Science denier!
Explain to me how the ‘white people can’t dance’ line is not stereotypical again?
It’s not what I’ve observed at all.
Nor do I think black people are cooler or dance better. Everyone just bring different things to the table.
Except Asians. They really can’t dance…or drive.
/ducks.
I want to know if all that can be cured with pussy crystals.
What does feminine dryness have to do with dancing?
Shit. Somebody better go tell these guys, quick. I don’t think they know they’re not supposed to be able to jump either.

As I deepened my understanding of trauma and anatomy, I began to see that white-ness is much more than a colour of skin or a culture
You know the racists of the 1920’s had “Scientific” reasons to explain why they felt blacks were inferior. They also claimed that it wasn’t just b about “Skin color”.
Though if this is satire, that might be the point.
Okay if there’s no such thing as white people, I guess this author and her friends can stop saying that white people are causing all their problems and they can leave me the fuck alone.
The label CNN was superimposed on him. The short video gave the appearance of the righteous kicking the life out of an entity that deserved no sympathy, and bore little semblance to humanity.
KKKorporations are not people!
Excellent point, all the lefties complaining about CNN being “mistreated” should be strongly reminded that the left has determined that corporations are not people!
This is different! CNN is exposing the lies and secrecy of the Trump administration and evil for-profit companies like Walmart! So, CNN isn’t a real corporation!

“…but federal investigators have yet to get their hands on the allegedly hacked computer server that handled email from the Democratic National Committee.
I call bullshit on the whole thing. I’m guessing that server in it’s original state would show nothing except some downloads by Seth Rich, who had access.
And they will smash it with hammers and burn it before they will let anyone see it.
And wipe with a cloth for good measure.
I’d be very surprised if it wasn’t already erased.
Shoot, having congresscritters on the Defense subcommittees has to be good for some awesome Air Force erase programs (writes over whole drive 100 times, then 100 times more after, had a friend use it to escape piracy charges, ARRRR!!!!).

*rock electric guitar solo*
Chavistas are cool!
Uffda. This is going to be quite the deal.
Enbridge – big pipeline company – wants to replace aging pipeline with new one along a route that already has legal right of way. Minnesoda indians swear they are going to show those NoDak indians what a real protest looks like.
Those ancestral lands are now either privately held or are owned by the state of Minnesoda (or maybe Feds too). They aren’t reservation lands.
I think that the way to deal with this is for Minnesoda to tell the tribes that if they want to protest go ahead, but to help pay for all the extra costs those protests will cause, they will license casinos in Moorhead and Minneapolis/St. Paul and use the license fees and taxes from them to pay for the extra environmental studies.
I gay-ron-tee that the tribes would instantly shut up. They can buy a lot of wild rice in the stores with the money they make with their state monopoly on gaming.
It’s purely a gamble for a payoff. The local tribes here protested a Dominion Power high-tension line (nowhere near their reservation) until Dominion paid up.
Wouldn’t replacing an aging pipeline with a new one make a potential spill less likely? Why would they protest that (other than the obvious reasons: looking for more hand-outs, virtue signalling, unemployed and nothing better to do…).
Hopefully the shit doesn’t hit the fan, but if it does it will be interesting to see if Governor Mumbles puts out an EMAC request to NoDak after giving us the finger when we did it.
Fuck Gov. Mumbles is a petty man. I hadn’t heard about that shit.
Of course, he is the reason my idea of holding casino licenses over the heads of the tribes will never work. Fuck he will be out there protesting with the yahoos.
Yeah, he is something else. Like you say, he won’t make an EMAC request because he’ll be egging the protestors on.
Assuming he lives long enough, when does his term in office end? Do you have a term limit on the Governorship in Minn?
Four years. Up next year, I think (and hope). No term limits, unfortunately.
Of course they would shut up. These protests are always about money.
I call bullshit on the claim that any significant number of Indians on reservations in the lower 48 are still living as hunter-gatherers.
They hunt and gather government hand-outs.
Ancestral lands? There’s probably a TESCO on my ancestral lands.
Also, you want your land? Do a better job of fighting wars.
In high school I dated the girl that scored game winning goal in the gold medal game in Nagano. She’s still cute, lives out east, and coaches.
I did the same thing
That girl got around.
like a record.
I thought I was special!
Looks like she became a masshole and pitchwoman for the current AG. You dodged a bullet.
Uck. That’s not her. This be she.
5’5″ 145? Thicccccccccc.
Hockey legs!
Huh. Interesting:
My fault there. I just looked up the game on wiki and assumed that the last goal scored was the winning one. If I’d bothered to do the math I could have seen USA was already up 2-1.
Don’t stick it in loony.
So three periods and she was done with you?
At least 10 measurable temblors hit Montana from 12:30 to 1:31 a.m. Thursday, with the last two having magnitudes of 3.9 and 4.4, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The quake’s epicenter was some 230 miles from Yellowstone National Park — and because it was felt from far away, the shaking led some in the area to wonder whether the Yellowstone supervolcano was finally emerging from its slumber. But the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory’s most recent volcano alert level is listed as normal, and the park service has said that while the area normally has more than 1,000 earthquakes each year, its experts predict a large eruption “very unlikely” to strike in the next 1,000 -10,000 years.
More details about the overnight quake from the USGS:
“The location and focal mechanism solution of this earthquake are consistent with right-lateral faulting in association with faults of the Lewis and Clark line, a prominent zone of strike-slip, dip slip and oblique slip faulting trending east-southeast from northern Idaho to east of Helena, Montana, southeast of this earthquake.”
I slept right through it. Yellowstone has been having a lot of activity, lately.
The evil GOP is going to take Minnesoda’s free money away and kill the poor and disabled
If the GOP health plans go through, the DFL (our local Dems) claim that Minnesoda would lose about $2B for medical assistance programs in the first 18 months and it would skyrocket from there.
The flip side to people thinking that rich folk have money bins like Scrooge McDuck that they like to swim around in, is the idea that that money that the Feds dole out is picked from the money trees that grow along the Potomac. How do you explain to them that all that money comes from their own taxes or from taxes that their grandchildren will have to pay?
That’s why we need socialism. Then no one would pay stuff would simply manifest into existence and will be fairly distributed
Yes, I remember the desolate days before 2009 when the bodies were stacked in the streets like cordwood because there was no health care until Obamacare was passed.
As I point out nearly daily to the jackasses in my local paper – not a single dime needs to get lost and not a single person’s coverage has to change, if the good citizens of _____________ want to maintain the funding, they can raise taxes locally. But it’s hard to raise taxes locally and easy to charge it on Uncle Sam’s credit card.
Watch the house of cards teeter and wobble before the total collapse:
I recently had a conversation with a new co-worker in accounting about Teslas. He mentioned that “yeah, those cars are cool, no emissions what-so-ever, very clean, I want one.”
I responded “well, the emissions are just somewhere else, at the electricity generation plant, far away from you, so you don’t have to think about them.”
His jaw almost dropped. It was hilarious.
…and the rare earths mines, and the Gigafactory, which you can thank me and the rest of the suckers in this wasteland of a state for.
“It’s an inefficient coal powered car”
Coal powered cars?
Where do these idiots think their electricity comes from?
Those funny holes in the wall, of course.
People are effin’ retarded when it comes to electricity and most don’t care to learn anything.
Well it would be all solar and wind if you bastards wouldn’t stop blocking it!
Fuck hydro-electric because that kills too many fish and fuck nuclear because it causes too many mutants.
Well, anyone whose played Fallout could tell you the dangers of nuclear. Do you really want to live in a world with Radscorpions and Deathclaws?
…yes?
Without the PipBoy, Uncivil. O.O
Oh, you mean the holes.
I knew what it was before the click. We just watched it the other day. Excellent episode.
I’ve been looking at Hybrids, and my parents and brother give me shit about it because they actually know facts about the environment, and know that A) I’d be replacing the battery within 10 years, therefore, bad for the environment, and make sure I get a car with a battery warranty if I get a hybird, and B) rare earth metal mining is ridiculously environmentally unfriendly, and I shouldn’t buy a hybrid due to that.
You listed two of the reasons I bought a hybrid.
(The real reason was I found it comfortable to drive and the other cars weren’t.)
Did they allow you to trade in your monocle and orphans for credit since you don’t need them anymore?
I just said I bought it because of the environmental devastation wrought. (And because it was comfortable)
Besides, not being a Libertarian, I have no orphans and wear regular eyeglasses.
What’s worse – we’re a company that almost exclusively provides financing for electric distribution and generation & transmission plants.
The magic box with all the switches in the garage.
The whole coal powered electric cars thing remind me of the classic gas powered flashlight

I am the only one that read that as “gas-powered fleshlight”?
Yes

Similar conversation yesterday with a progressive simpleton Re: Shooting of NYC policewoman.
Me – “They keep saying ‘gunman’ but they wont tell us who he is. I want to know if it was BLM or Islam.”
Him – *jawdrop* “You’re a racist”
Me – “Well, who was it? Rastus or Mustafa?” *playing it up*
Him – “Can you even hear yourself? The policewoman was black.”
Me – “Culture isnt race you idiot. I still dont know which one it was. Let me guess, you think it was a white NRA member.”
Him – “Of course it was, thats why the press is covering for him”
Me – *facepalm*
Turns out it was Rastus. I cant wait to see the guy again and see what he has to say. Ten bucks says he avoids the subject.
I am going to try and point out to him that the BLM movement was never about race, but I doubt he will be able to grasp that. He thinks the press has a right wing bias so I am thinking every sunrise is a surprise to him.
Wow, it blows my mind that anyone can think that the media has a right-wing bias after the 2016 election. I understand saying that about FNN, but the others? Willful ignorance. Definitely keep us updated on the rest of the story after you see him again!
He thinks the press has a right wing bias
So, who ties his shoes for him?
I’ve had similar conversations. I also remind these ‘greenies’ that the manufacturing process is far and away the most polluting part of the car’s lifestyle and by that measeure, the Tesla is dirtier than a Hellcat.
Fuck Tesla.
Stupid voters
Did Democrats ignore — or worse, condescend to — white working-class voters in 2016? Did many of these voters back Donald Trump because of his promises to restore economic growth for small towns and in manufacturing and mining — or because they resented rising prospects for minorities and women? Can these voters be returned to the Democratic fold with sharper economic messaging? Or does appealing to them require an unthinkable retreat on issues of social justice and inclusion?
——————
Far from condescending, Clinton’s campaign spoke truth to these voters: Our economic future is “Stronger Together.” America’s best hope to remain an economic superpower is an inclusive economy where immigrants start businesses and create jobs, where everyone can make meaningful contributions to an innovative economy and where the United States masters the economic opportunities that come from challenges such as climate change. That message may not have appealed to some working-class voters, but it isn’t condescension — it’s honesty.
How do we convince those dumb fucking hicks that we know what’s good for them, and they don’t? It’s like they’re just too dense to comprehend the truth.
Bill threaded that needle back in the 90’s. He felt their pain while telling them to go get retrained for a new job and that the old jobs weren’t coming back.
Hillary just treated them like the hired help.
Economic opportunities for climate change? Wut?
Well using green energy you need several times more people per unit of electricity. So jobz
Hey, she was honest when she was telling coal miners she was going to put them out of a job.
So they returned the favor and helped put her out of a job.
Do refugees and illegals start a lot of biz?
Piling on regulations, min wage, welfare, licensing, taxation is a great way to make sure everyone can’t make meaningful contributions
Refugees yeah, illegals not so much
Well, you see, if you can’t afford to pay your workers minimum wage and navigate the complex bureaucracy of licensing and permits and can’t afford to pay your taxes and pay a lawyer to make sure you don’t run afoul of one of a thousand regulations that may or may not pertain to your field, you shouldn’t even be in business. But the illegal immigrants and refugee imports totes can do all of that because they’re magic.
I’m not even mad about the characterization of Hillary’s campaign as being well run, because that’s just delusional. What pisses me off is the idea that trump won because all of these white people just can’t stand that immagrants have opportunity. It’s utterly slanderous and lazy. “My enemies are morally inferior to me” is one of the most infuriating arguments every.
Especially because the morally “superior” people voted for one of the most morally reprehensible people to ever run for office.
Those same racists that voted for Obama – twice.
One of my relatives isnt speaking to me because I said “If voters really were stupid Hillary would be president, wouldn’t she.”
Stupid white working class people. YOU WILL SUCK THAT IMMIGRANTS COCK AND ASK FOR SECONDS.
Stressed out? Life’s responsibilities dragging you down? Why don’t why simplify everything the all-American way – through a massive increase in taxation and federal spending. Why trouble yourself when Uncle Sugar is there for you?
Shut up and take my money!
Can’t even make it through two sentences.
Hah I guessed it was Ryan cooper
Let me guess his solution is massive taxation to make your own decisions for you so you don’t have to equals freedom!
Pelosi did it better when she told a room full of layabouts that their lives would be so much better if they didn’t have to work, they could just spend their days making paper mache sculptures.
The democratic party really has been co-opted by the worst kinds of people.
I never got into the show, but apparently the BBC might make the next Dr. Who a woman. Supposedly that’s a really big deal. I wouldn’t know. I just want them to bring back Basil Fawlty, et al.
People still watch Dr. Who? That show fell out of public consciousness awhile ago.
That show fell out of public consciousness awhile ago.
lolsorandom reddit normies who think they’re hipsters because they know that one The Shins song from Garden State obsessively talk about it still.
(I know, I know)
The current incarnation (2005-present) is far more popular than the original (1963-1989) ever was.
Last I heard the show was filled with feminist BS in recent seasons (series?). If that’s not enough to drive people away from it, I don’t know what would.
Not really. They made The Master a woman (and probably made the character better) and the female companions stopped being completely helpless. I’m not sure that qualifies as being “feminist BS”
There were formidable companions (eg. Leela, Romana) before. Although the last companion announcing she’s a lesbian every episode got old fast.
Yeah, didn’t like her much. Glad she was only around for the one season.
Will miss Nardole though. He was great.
It’s one thing for women to be completely helpless. It’s another thing to have them tossing 250lbs dudes over their shoulder.
NuWho (post-2005 revival of the series) is awesome. C’mon.
Eh, I was underwhelmed. I didn’t really see why everyone liked it so much.
Look here:
http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1500000/Rose-Tyler-Wallpaper-rose-tyler-1535453-1024-768.jpg
Tennant was good and Matt Smith was decent but his run was ruined by the writers decisions to shit all over the concept of coherency the new guy just sucks.
As far as them making the Dr a woman, it will be a horrible flop because the majority of the Dr Who fans these days are women who fantasize about him as the perfect boyfriend, as a woman the character is just going to come off a unlikable and snarky. It doesn’t help that the sole reason for gender swapping the character is to appease feminist and progressive sensibilities and that NEVER results in good storytelling.
I liked the first Amy Pond season, when they reframed the show to be more of a Fairy Tale.
Because Dr. Who isn’t now nor has ever been remotely sci-fi. It’s always been fantasy.
It’d help if 90% of the episodes weren’t so profoundly poorly written, and it seems to get worse every season. Also, the obvious agitprop they constantly insert.
Until Dr. Who is played by a black midget woman in a hijab with Down’s syndrome I dont want to hear about it.
He’s had a pretty nice run of companions since the reboot.
Forget Kansas – North Carolina Is The National Model For Conservative Tax Reform
When Republicans took total control of the North Carolina government in 2010, the state had the highest personal and corporate income tax rates in the region, at 7.75% and 6.9%, respectively. Thanks to enactment of multiple rounds of tax relief, beginning with the landmark 2013 tax reform act, North Carolina will soon have a personal income tax rate that is 30% lower than what the top rate was only four years ago. The corporate rate, having been reduced by more than 63% since 2013, is now the lowest corporate income tax rate among states that impose such a tax.
…
North Carolina didn’t make the same mistake as Kansas. Since they began cutting taxes in 2013, North Carolina legislators have kept annual increases in state spending below the rate of population growth and inflation. As a result, at the same time North Carolina taxpayers have been allowed to keep billions more of their hard-earned income, the state has experienced repeated budget surpluses. As they did in 2015, North Carolina legislators are once again returning surplus dollars back to taxpayers with the personal and corporate income tax rate cuts included in the state’s new budget.
Yes, but bathrooms and Kansas.
How about Gwar playing Kansas?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIl7d1VVwOc
Gwar was the greatest thing to ever come out of Richmond *eyes welling with tears of pride*
As a North Carolinian, if you ever want to know why I’m more sympathetic to the GOP than others on this board, it’s probably because of the effectiveness of my own state’s GOP at balancing the budgets. It’s why they continue to hold supermajorities even when the low-info leftists screamed and virtue-signaled their way to Roy Cooper. Now that HB2 has died down I wouldn’t be surprised if the right takes back the Governor’s seat in 3 years.
HB2 pissed off my mom enough that she voted for Cooper.
I see what you did there?
My father, who I love so very much but is politically the epitome of RINO/moderate, nearly did the same thing until he saw how the Cooper campaign pressured the City of Charlotte to not compromise with the Legislature to end HB2 for political gain. I wish other saw that and did the same, but that’s past history. Hopefully I and others will vote him out next time.
It took some time for her to see that (she was very busy consulting to pay for my parent’s huge cruise this spring) and probably will not vote for him next time.
Goddamn, Mandy. This sentence is a fucking abortion.
“She is an atheist writer and talk-show host, and when she saw a dramatic rise in racist and sexist views within atheist circles of overt racism and sexism, Zvan took it upon herself to fight back.”
“This sentence is a fucking abortion.”
So from a feminist point of view, that is praise for the sentence?
writing is notoriously difficult, to be honest
To be sure.
I mean it’s not exactly brain surgery, but …
Are you mansplaining to SugarFree about writing? Tsk, tsk.
It’s an easy typo error. She went to write the sentence one way, thought better of it, and didn’t go back and read it over. But just like the html link errors in the first paragraph, it’s evidence of Mandy wanting to get her important hot take to the masses so badly that she can’t bother to have her work edited or even proofread it herself.
It’s her feverish intensity over an inconsequential issue that I disdain, and that deluded pomposity is the entire basis of her baffling career.
I think people hire only because she generates clickbait that gets shared on right-wing sites. “Look at what this crazy libtard wrote!” I can’t believe anyone could honestly think that she is a good writer.
You should have seen some of the total word salad she posted on pandagon. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was an un-diagnosed schizophrenic.
About 25 years ago our local paper hired a woman who would put Marcotte to shame. Her articles were unreadable. Pure fucking word salads. Somehow she stayed employed there for years. I think they kept her on for the entertainment value. Coincidentally her name was Amanda also.
It will take decades for the Amanda brand to recover.
At least they’re not pushing for Dr Who to be a one legged transgender Muslim.
That’ll be the following doctor.
The best analogy for the limits of the leftist march into absurdity would probably be a bottomless pit.
In a world without welfare, the population of a failed city like Detroit would have dispersed long before it transformed into Mogadishu. That or starve to death.
In a world without welfare Detroit would be a shining gem.
In Detroits case, I think union’s and the laws protecting them killed that city’s economy. The welfare system prevented recovery.
That, and the environmental regulations. Detroit already had fiscal problems before the 1970s but the environmental regs put the final nail in the coffin. It is a bit ironic that “silent majority” Nixon signed into law the act that killed so many jobs.
Huh
More than a dozen automakers are jostling to lead the U.S. electric-car race, but Bloomberg New Energy Finance sees a clear winner separating from the pack: Tesla Inc.
The automaker led by Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk will emerge as “the stand-out” in total cumulative deliveries through 2021, reaching nearly 709,000 vehicles, according to BNEF’s Long-Term Electric Vehicle Outlook released Thursday. Tesla is projected to pull away from current leader General Motors Co., which may slip behind Volkswagen AG’s aggregate sales of plug-in hybrid and fully electric autos in four years’ time.
The report reinforces the optimism among some analysts that Tesla will be able to distance itself from established automakers and dominate many of the world’s biggest markets for battery-powered vehicles. Investors have bid the company’s shares up 53 percent this year in anticipation of Musk debuting the Model 3 sedan, a more affordable car he’s counting on to crack the mass market.
Tesla will sell a half million cars a year.
I promise I won’t come in your mouth.
Hah….Bloomberg published that, and they also published the story I linked above which throws cold water on Tesla. Way to have all the bases covered, Bloomberg!
…until the likelihood of shitty build quality and poor customer service dooms the brand before the end of 2018?
I am curious, are tesla workers unionized? I am asking seriously. I dont know.
Not yet, but they’re trying.
http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/10/news/companies/telsa-united-auto-workers/index.html
Yeah, go with his link.
Yes, but I imagine NV is a right to work state since the article mentions non-union workers as well.

Sweden Might Have a Women-Only Music Festival Because Men Can’t Stop Being Predators
Over the weekend, Bråvalla, Sweden’s biggest music festival, announced that it was canceling its 2018 edition in light of reports of several sexual assault and rape cases at this year’s festival, which took place from June 28 to July 1. A staggering 23 sexual assaults and four rapes were reported at Bråvalla, and last year, five rapes and 12 sexual assaults were reported, causing Mumford and Sons to boycott the festival. Festival organizers told The Guardian, “Certain men … apparently cannot behave. It’s a shame. We have therefore decided to cancel Bråvalla 2018.”
But after Swedish radio personality Emma Knyckare tweeted a very popular suggestion to have a music festivals only open to non-men “until all men have learned how to behave” (trust us, that’s what the above tweet says) it seems something clicked. Knyckare later posted on Instagram that “Sweden’s first man-free rock festival will see the light next summer,” promising to bring together a team of festival organizers.
I bet, if you did some really in depth investigation, you would find another common factor besides having a penis. that’s just a wild ass guess on my part
Hey hey hey – are you trying to say that all men have penises, or that everyone with a penis is a man? I find your way of thinking hateful and dangerously old-fashioned.
It all depends on if the dick is feminine
(SFW)
I don’t believe you.
*checks on phone*
OK, it’s just stupid.
Do immigrants like Mumford and Sons?
If they have bad taste!
Men cant stop being predators. Men. Just men.
I realize that the swedes have become brainwashed by cultural marxism to the point that they cant think, but surely someone in that country might wonder why music festivals in other places are attended 50% by men and there are no sexual assaults.
Or why Sweden in general has a rape rate comparable to South Fucking Africa. And before anyone claims that it’s the wider definition of rape or methods in statistical recording, keep in mind that those definitions and methods were in place for many years and yet there has been a meteoric rise in the rates of rape since 2003, tracking closely with the sudden influx of third worlders over the last decade.
I foresee full-body burqa wearing faux trannies raping women at the festival.
Wow, Sloop, hockey hotties and Still The One! Nice work.
Happy Birthday, Banjos – I hope you have a wonderful day!

re the Doctor Whom rumour:
They already picked a dude for the role, it was in the papers months ago. And it produced a shit ton of backlash because it was a dude.
You see if you have fantasies, people are required to fulfill them, no matter how unrealistic.
Trump should capitalize on this opportunity.
Why hasn’t he tweeted something about “Next Dr. Who is a woman? Now they have to rename it Nurse Who. Sad!”
Honestly, Trump is doing so well at trolling these saps that I worry he will start hitting the point of diminishing returns. Unless he can make their heads explode ala Scanners, can he really make them react any harder than he already has?
I’m conflicted about this. I think it’s great that another bad minimum wage law was squashed, but I also believe in “good and hard” politics.
I wish I’d saved the link to the aricle about waiters and waitresses in Maine (I think) who successfully lobbied to get their minimum wage lowered to save their jobs.
Amazing…I wonder what the gender ratio of that crowd was, since there’s allegedly “no such thing as female libertarians!”
Also, it would be great if more Luddites could figure out that the biggest threat to employment isn’t AI, but minimum wage.
We’ll see if LA ever figures it out, I already know two local restaurants are cutting staff and hours back. So we’ll see how it spreads.
Re Dr. Who: I actually have nothing to say, since I don’t think a sonic screwdriver joke would be at all tasteful or appropriate.
Tasteful or appropriate. You dont even read the comments here, do you?

NK is an easy problem to fix. Give nukes to the Japanese and SKoreans. Cut off every penny going to China and tell them it will be restored when they pull their heads out of their asses – get rid of that fat little fuck and blow those phony islands back into the sea.
We should pull out of the agreement with South Korea and tell them that we will not automatically defend them in case of attack. They are a highly developed, prosperous country that can pay for their own defense. South Koreand that I’ve talked with resent the US presence there.
