Google needs to update their maps a bit, google.com. This, if you go look at it shows a dirt road, FM 549. It’s not actually a dirt road, thought. It’s normally paved. It runs between Rockwall and Heath. It’s a 2 lane road, that needs to become at least a four lane, but Rockwall county hates spending money to make people’s lives easier. But the image shows some maintenance work, where at least they decided all of the filled in potholes weren’t helping anyone’s car, especially the rich people living along the road (about 2 miles down, you will find 4-6 million dollar homes). The section of road in the picture is a 2 mile stretch that runs from a middle school to the Hight school that currently serves the part of Rockwall County south of interstate 30. As such, a lot of people drive it. One summer, 2018, they decided to pave the road. As they needed to get it done in about 2.5 months, they did the closest thing they could to shutting down the road. The stripped most of it bare, and would only allow one lane to get by at a time using a pace car that would turn around at one end and lead cars to the other end. This stretch of road is nearly three miles long, so it was a major nightmare. The google map image is in the middle of them redoing the road.

I didn’t get the joke. They seem to be making fun of the entire committee’s existence as if investigating Trump is futile because he has never been held accountable for anything for decades. It’s still important to investigate his criminal activities when those activities include a violent attempt to overthrow our democracy. I wasn’t laughing at all.

All the “peace advocates” keep repeating the same line over and over again: “Give Russia what it wants and it’ll go away.” Just accept the annexation of 1/3 of your sovereign territory and accept Russian control over your foreign relations and they promise they’ll pack up and go home.

Especially telling is how all the faux “concern” about the suffering of the Ukrainian people and the need to end the war quickly to bring such to a stop has changed into sneering about how they’re all a bunch of corrupt Nazis who we need to abandon because Vlad is threatening to nuke us if he doesn’t get his way.

An Air Force friend of mine was stationed up in Fairbanks, Alaska, He owned a VW Bug as his every day drive. One winter morning, hewers driving to work in ice fog, and all of a sudden, a giant furry butt appeared. He hit the brakes, the car skidded into a Moose ass. It sat down and splayed the tires to the side, ruining the entire front end of the bug.

The Moose, pissed, then proceeded to stomp the VW for a few minutes and then wandered off.

The top replies to that tweet from supporters are pushing the environmental impact of dairy farming as the big reason to go “plant-based,” to which my question is “Why not come up with environmentally-friendly methods of dairy farming?” If these yahoos think that they’re gonna come up with a environmentally-friendly/neutral plan that will allow all of humanity to convert to “plant-based” diets without mass starvation, then they’re not even on speaking terms with reality.

The reason is because, for all their bitching about “PC” and “cancel culture,” the only way they could get the white suburbanites on their side was to come up with the politically neutral “All Lives Matter.” A faux “neutral” position they could adopt so they could continue to support the police while avoiding criticism for doing so.

I’ve long thought that these people would look forward to ecological collapse as a punishment or a revenge on “The West”/Big Agriculture/The US/Europe by “Mother Nature”. And like the evangelicals who never say God’s word that they don’t believe themselves, they happily put words in Nature’s mouth.

These people love their cozy nihilism where they can airily talk about 95% extinction as easily as they discuss the sports scores, except that they’re too good for such plebian concerns as personal survival.

re: #36 Romantic Heretic

An old professor of mine once told the story of how he was on a train somewhere up north, I think in Alaska, when he was invited up to the front (the train was stopped) to see the bull moose that had decided to remove it from his territory. He bashed against it with his head until he was too groggy to do it any more and staggered off into the night.

I would assume it’s to “raise awareness”, which is mostly “raise awareness of their own self-righteous asses”. I’m pretty suspicious of any group whose mission is “raising awareness”, since it seems to be a vehicle for self-promotion and pocketing cash. Dealing with climate change in any real way is a tough long slog, requiring a lot of specialized technical and policy knowledge, and requiring tedious negotiations with entrenched interests at all levels.

It’s all fun and games to be a trust fund radical doing something SHOCKING, but all it means here is that our heroes get hauled off to the police station for a talking-to, probably get forced to reimburse the grocery store, who will then buy extra cow’s milk to replace what got destroyed. Most people who watch this will write our heroes off as irritating young vandals, confirming for them that the whole movement is infested with them, and setting climate change activism another little step backwards.

Plant based diets are more likely to be viable in the long run than bovine-based (beef meat, milk).

However, plant-only diets are more difficult for us humans to digest and to get essential amino acids, and adding some animal protein like eggs makes a plant diet much easier on us.

We really do not need Bos to live. Our ancestors found them useful for sure (and several species went extinct.)

That image of pouring out milk hearkens back to the Great Depression and farmers pouring out their milk product.

The issue is that they’re presenting plant-based diets not as healthier or better in the long run, but instead engaging in the emotional blackmail of suggesting that if you don’t eat imitation meat or drink almond milk then you’re contributing to the eventual ecological collapse of the planet. The implication made is that only by the mass-adoption of plant-based foods can we somehow slow if not stop the planet’s decline due to all the pollution of growing meat and dairy products. And to be frank, give how much of our current mass-farming methods are reliant upon the very same pollution-belching equipment and factories, I don’t think one can realistically argue that replacing all the meat consumed annually with plant-based alternatives will end all of that pollution or reduce it significantly enough to make a difference without reducing the supply of food available to the masses.

Personally, I think we’re gonna end up splitting the difference within the next generation by moving to methods of manufacturing meat products from vat-grown proteins. That once a company figures out how to print steaks that taste as good or better than the farm-grown competition but competitive on price, then meat sourced from grown rather than manufactured sources will move from a vital part of our diet to a niche product much like certain game animals are.

After Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and Trump was banned from major social networks, the men drew up plans for a tech platform that would be “resilient to cancel culture and the impact of bias against the right,” according to the daily log Wilkerson shared with The Post and the SEC.

All the grift and bootlicking you expect but this tidbit struck me as completely insane:

Good morning from the cool (though soon to be warmer) climes of Northern Kentucky!

Read the article and the most amazing takeaway from it that these geniuses who did the TS startup simply don’t get that ‘Everything Trump Touches Dies.’ Apparently, Junior and dummy Eric wanted shares in the company without doing any work. These bozos were actually shocked and outraged by it. Duh! The whole fucking family does this with every business they get involved in. The reason the whistleblower came forward was because TFG wanted him to give a chunk of his shares to Melania. Now the whole thing is about to blow up because the SEC is involved and the investors are getting ready to pull the plug. Amazing.

Oh, and the icing on the cake? Several of the organizers of the company were losers on The Apprentice. Yeah, real geniuses there.

re: #65 Targetpractice

The issue is that they’re presenting plant-based diets not as healthier or better in the long run, but instead engaging in the emotional blackmail of suggesting that if you don’t eat imitation meat or drink almond milk then you’re contributing to the eventual ecological collapse of the planet. The implication made is that only by the mass-adoption of plant-based foods can we somehow slow if not stop the planet’s decline due to all the pollution of growing meat and dairy products. And to be frank, give how much of our current mass-farming methods are reliant upon the very same pollution-belching equipment and factories, I don’t think one can realistically argue that replacing all the meat consumed annually with plant-based alternatives will end all of that pollution or reduce it significantly enough to make a difference without reducing the supply of food available to the masses.

Personally, I think we’re gonna end up splitting the difference within the next generation by moving to methods of manufacturing meat products from vat-grown proteins. That once a company figures out how to print steaks that taste as good or better than the farm-grown competition but competitive on price, then meat sourced from grown rather than manufactured sources will move from a vital part of our diet to a niche product much like certain game animals are.

Farming can go a long way in becoming more ecologically friendly. To say it is reliant on pollution belching equipment and accepting that as a fait accompli does not give our species enough credit imo

But I’ll tell you, it can be even worse if you’re into old cameras and are willing to shoot film. I was badly tempted today by a Yashica Electro 35…

But, unless you have a developing and printing setup available in your home, where do you go to process the exposed film. I can’t imagine drug stores do it any longer and all the Kodak kiosks have been turned into coffee huts. I suppose there may be a few professional processing places you can use but I’d think they’d be very expensive.

Even more basic, where do you buy film?

The news media long ago fell into the trap of portraying Donald Trump as some sort of gruff but still amusing blowhard, boorish but mesmerizingly larger than life, essentially an entertainer spewing riveting (if raw) verbiage tailor-made for media consumption. This was the image he cultivated on The Apprentice, and it’s the same image that got him elected. To this day, the media regard Trump more with fascination than the horrified repugnance he actually warrants.

It’s almost as if the idea that someone in such a position of power could be so utterly bereft of human decency is just too much for our media to process. Thanks in large part to this treatment he received prior to the 2016 election, nearly half the electorate—and perhaps more—continue to regard him as a type of media-savvy clown, playing to his adoring fans by saying “just what he thinks,” without ever questioning why what he “thinks” strangely aligns with their own prejudices and predispositions.

The question is - did they know that there was glass there? If yes or no changes the equation tremendously.

I’d bet real money that they didn’t and that they were put up to it by right wing money.

It’s nice to imagine that it took some nefarious outside influence to make activists on “our” side do something like this, but we have them here too (Berkeley is a magnet for people like this) and I have no trouble believing they thought it up their own selves.

As to whether they knew about the glass, I heard an interview with another member of that group, who said they did it to get attention. Damaging the painting would have gotten them the wrong sort. (Also, this isn’t their first action, and they were non-destructive then, too.)

Its a throwback to 80s “in their face” style protest, Act Up, the Ruckus Society, “Act Now, Apologize Later etc. The only real effect was to harden resistance and give conservative schemers a rallying point against lefty excess.

Isn’t he basically aligned with Trump, who supports Putin and not Ukraine? And he’s hoping that Trump and Trump supporters regain power in the government? Of course electric cars are not Trump’s thing and no matter what Musk does, it’s unlikely that climate change-denying Republicans will switch their preferences and purchase his product. OTOH, he may have sufficiently alienated Tesla curious and owners to switch to alternative products. The Bolt is under $30,000 — though it doesn’t have the range of Tesla.

Alan Keyes came up in the thread yesterday.

Out of curiosity I checked out his Wikipedia entry and a short Googling to see what rabbit hole he’d disappeared down. Turns out he is in the typical right-wing conservative Christian world.

Some anti-Trump rhetoric along Trump’s character in 2016 and then pretty much not a peep since. Probably convinced that having Trump at the top was someone that could be “controlled” while the judiciary and laws were twisted to favor conservative authoritarian Christianity.

Heavily anti-abortion, Obama birther, etc. And from the limited view I took he is working the speaker circuit in that area of interest. Some him in connection to a Federalist Society article and opted not to go there - seems an obvious area he’d be supportive of them due to similar agenda.

And also connected to a quack grift MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement) that was banned from being sold in 2020 in the USA. (Also marketed in Africa!) Essentially the diluted bleach as cure for almost anything woo medicine thing.

re: #118 A hollow voice says: Abort SCOTUS

Presumption of innocence means individuals. It sounds to me like “category of people” refers to a group as a whole (“he’s white, he wouldn’t have done this”). But I can’t find any context for this.

As always, we need to remember what Abraham Lincoln said about trusting random alleged quotes on the internet.

A bit more context then. But given her well known animosity towards my Community, I believe everything proceeding the “blanket assumption” remark to be nothing but a thinly disguised attempt to cover her butt. As you can see after that paragraph, she clearly states male sex offenders only transition so they can be sent to a woman’s prison, therefore all Trans-women are sex offenders. Least why, that’s my take.

How an urban myth about litter boxes in schools became a GOP talking point
At least 20 Republican politicians have claimed that schools are making accommodations for students who identify as cats. The school districts say these claims are untrue.

That’s interesting. It reflects the extent to which conservatives live in an imaginary world, a world where the border is open, MLM supplements work, crime is rising exponentially, and an evil cabal of corporate CEOs and communist agitators seeks to enslave white people. They often live incredibly isolated lives, sealed up in suburbs where they don’t know their next-door neighbors and traveling in sealed cars from one sprawling parking lot to another. There is a huge industry built around reinforcing this delusion, and a power seeking political party built around exploiting it.
Problem is, this is not a different world and their responses to imaginary threats are almost inevitably destructive and inappropriate in the world that does exist.

Btw, flying a light plane over a suburb gives a real sense of just how much of it is paved over. It’s shocking. A ‘burb isn’t a town or a community, it is a complex of parking lots with huge streets linking them and with structures interspersed here and there.

There’s an outbreak of Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex in New Hampshire and to some extent in surrounding states.

I generally lament this because I would love to have her play, but it looks like it will keep us clear.

Monadnock Ledger-Transcript
Published: 10/12/2022 11:35:49 AM
Dr. Lori Baldwin, a vet at Animal Care Clinic Monadnock in Peterborough and Veterinary Emergency Center of Manchester (VECM), said a respiratory disease affecting dogs has been really worrisome, and there are still a lot of unanswered questions about the illness.
The disease is called canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC), and since May, VECM has seen around 300 cases. Baldwin said the ICU is constantly full, and dogs are often staying overnight for a few days and put on oxygen, nebulizers and double antibiotics. It is unknown what is causing the sickness, but it can quickly turn into pneumonia and can make dogs really sick. Some dogs are even dying.
Baldwin said she hasn’t seen anything like this before, and that it feels strikingly similar to the beginning of the COVID pandemic.
“It feels like we’re dealing with that in our world,” she said…..

I dunno, what happened to “you have to eat three bites” or something like that? Or “we don’t have money to waste on food, eat your dinner”? I do remember how, in the early ’90s, my sister would pick up dinner for herself and one kid at a Mexican place’s drive through, and then get Burger King for the other kid, and I thought it was crazy back then.

My sister deals with this all the time: her children (adults) are a gluten-free lactose intolerant vegetarian and a vegan while her grandchildren have a variety of food objections that are evolving over time. My mother had to deal with my food preferences from the time I was 1. In the past, most families went the route of “you eat what I made or go hungry”. Today parents may decide that certain battles are not worth it, and reserve the conflicts for issues other than diet, especially if the parent themselves has strong food preferences/needs.

Musk is just regurgitating what the whole right-wing pro-Putin media and politicians and libertarians are promoting. China’s warning may also be ultimately tied to more conventional weaponry if they think that Putin will be going all out to level cities akin to the old-fashioned way using drones and rockets of various kinds.

Today parents may decide that certain battles are not worth it, and reserve the conflicts for issues other than diet, especially if the parent themselves has strong food preferences/needs.

The pet one in my family that I passed on to a friend of mine was the “No Thank You Helping” of vegetables or whatever other dish. Which was usually roughly 1-2 tablespoons of it.

My mother did work out what particular foods her children selectively did not like eating at all. Mine was asparagus. My brother did not like cooked carrots in any form, but would eat raw ones. And so forth.

My brother saw this as his daughter went through food phases as she grew up. One phase was “white food” where generally all she ate was cooked chicken with nothing on it or near it, bread, white rice, and milk because she was required to drink some of it. However, she was always offered options to try new stuff and eventually has become pretty adventurous and experimental with food including doing a lot of her own cooking.

She did homemade butter for one Thanksgiving dinner at my brother’s place for instance. Served with the bread she made as well.

Reminds me of my preacher brother. As a child he refused to eat onions, even cooked ones. My mother, who was usually a strict “eat it or starve” disciplinarian, caved on this issue and made special onion-free portions of things like meatloaf just for him. Today he is a proud all purpose reactionary and loathes all forms of “foodyism.” He thinks I am a crazy old hippie for not liking white bread, for example. He still won’t eat onions though.

My sister told a funny story about going out to eat with her husband and his family. She said ‘vina’ in Venezuela is approximately equivalent to ‘chinga’ in Mexico (and the US). They were at their table in a restaurant, and their server approached and said, ‘My name is Vina, and I’ll be taking care of you this evening’. There was silence at the table, with some covered smiles. The server thought they didn’t hear her, and said, ‘MY NAME IS VINA…’ and the daughter got up and walked away to deal with the laughter that she couldn’t control.

Went to the Half Moon Bay pumpkin festival this morning - left the house at 9am, parked by 9:10, walked three blocks to the festival, down one side, back down the other, said hello to my grade school friend whom I haven’t seen in 44 years at her booth, picked up a bag of Chamarita sandwiches, and was home by 10:10.

I hate canned peas. As a kid I’d even go through my vegetable soup bowl and pick ‘em out, one by one. My mom asked us to take ‘No Thank You’ helpings for a lot of dishes, but she didn’t force me to eat those nasty little picked-out mushballs. She said later that she had five kids and plenty of other battles to fight — if I was willing to go to that much effort, she wasn’t going to sweat it. Tried to do that as a mom myself, only had one picky little eater but never tried to make him eat more than the couple of bites of a currently-despised food. He grew out of most of it.

I’ve done a lot of ‘borgaschmord’ cooking over the years — various ingredients cooked separately that the diner can combine themselves. Nuts, coconut, beans, mushrooms, peppers are all on somebody’s ‘eww’ list around here, but at least the picky kid has made his peace with onion and garlic.
