Midweek Burn-Out Cafe

Inner Mongolian Child
by Han Chengli

A duck stretches his legs.

Stealthy predator.

Panda enjoying his toys.

Dog gets a diploma.

Don't mess with a cat. They play for blood.

Boys and girls are completely 100% the exact same. Their gender is just assigned by tightass parents.

Little turtle backs away from a big ol' river monster.

Bee break.

Sleepy time.

Good night!

Midweek? It feels like a Friday, what with all the RINOs getting tossed and Little's team getting the huge win.

31 More Internet drama

Remember Ethan Kline going after Hasan Piker's orbiters?

Frogan the Hutt has failed to respond in a timely manner and thus a summary judgement against her has been issued.

Legal Mindset has one of the amazing an dhilarious thumbnails for this matter, Frogan as Grimace. Because it seems Frogan the Hutt ate her whole $38k legal defense fund.

Wait, you say, wouldn't that be fraud? Maybe not because she has weasel words in the fundraiser about 'personal expenses.'

So it seems she has also scammed all of her suporters.

49 I don't always leap out of bed like a ninja, but when I do it's because of a leg cramp.

The one I suffered Monday morning was scary. I actually felt a crunching sensation. I almost went to the ER, but did not, because I am an old coot who chooses to walk it off. What are they gonna do, tell me to rest it, alternate hot and cold, take ranger candy. Hell, I can do that myself, without adding to the medical insurance burden.

And now, I am doing well. Still a little tender, but nothing horrific. I was able to take a short walk around the block at work. Almost normal speed.

50 "Long Hair Penguins" are just penguins wearing fur coats, often made of camel hair. This odd deception fails further examination though, as the olfactory assault generated by the megamephitic combination of camels and penguins will quickly discourage even the most ardent penguin lover.

Haven't a number of former(?) insiders and developers admitted that features were added to make social media addictive? I see people with their noses buried in their phones all the time.

I deal with social media by not having any. The Horde is the closest I come, but the HQ seems to be a 21st C. version of pen pals -- trolls excepted.

For any fellow skywatchers, the waxing crescent Moon will be close to Jupiter in the west after sunset this evening. It won't be as close to Jupiter as it was to Venus the other night, but you'll still get a show, with bright Venus below.

Also, per the calendar month definition, the lunation will be a dreaded Blue Moon (2nd of two full Moons in a calendar month) May 31st. So, if there's anything you only do once in a Blue Moon, heads up to get in gear for that.

The obsessive yawping about the smell of a bird one is unlikely ever to encounter, except through one's own free choice, strikes me as an exercise in the most tedious puerility. I finally came to the conclusion that affording Spheniscidaphobes the dignity of a response is similarly pointless, and equally silly. I am confident in the permanence of the penguin race, and, although these noble birds face very real perils in life, they have nothing to fear from the sniffish disdain shown by a handful of monomaniacs who suffer from acute phantosmia (incidentally, I respectfully refer these unfortunates to the peer-reviewed scientific study, Psychosomatic Attributes of Corrupted Olfaction).

After all, it's not as if we were debating something of real importance – for example, the sublimity of yaks, or the gaping inadequacy of evolutionary theory to explain the continued existence of pandas.

There's an interview with one of the OJ jurors. Appears to be angry, nasty, and coldly determined. She confirmed that there was never the slightest chance that the jury would vote to convict.

I read that an FBI informant claimed that Teddy Kennedy had another one of the Boiler Room gals with him at Chappaquidick. Her purse was found in the car.

The claim is they crashed, got out, had a big laugh about it (witnesses who lived in the area claimed they heard laughing) and walked back to the party. It was only then that someone noticed Mary Jo was missing. Someone at the party mentioned she was tired and went to sleep in the back seat of Kennedy’s car.

I don’t know how true it is, but it makes more sense than anything Kennedy said about it.

Good joke over at Insty

A JFK conspiracy theorist dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, God greets him. “Welcome. You are permitted to ask me one question, which I will answer truthfully.”

The man asks, “Who really shot Kennedy?”

God replies, “Lee Harvey Oswald shot him from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. There were no accomplices. He acted alone.”

The man pauses. “Shit. This goes higher up than I thought.”

192 >>Counterpoint: only the true believers. The ones who want to get union scale for rioting are SOL with Trump turning off the spigots.

>>Unless Soros cares enough to spend his own money, rather than yours and mine.

I don't know if you are on X or if you follow Data Republican but she just put out a report detailing as only she can the amount of money sloshing around in the NGO system and the links between various organizations. Current data.

I haven't had time to read it yet but she tweeted out links to it and the top line number these groups have to spend and the number of people employed, at least formally, by these organizations.

The dollar amount is 32 billion, with a b, and the number of employees is over 200,000. The government faucet might be shut down or at least slowed a lot but they still have plenty of money and staff.

These groups are supposedly funding other leftwing efforts like election cheating, my term, and other political actions. But I think it would be foolish to assume some of that $32 billion isn't going to street action. It's page 1 in the left's playbook.

Posted by: JackStraw at May 20, 2026 08:43 PM (viF8m)

Had one of those yesterday afternoon - I would have sworn the lighting hit right outside of our bedroom window.

Mr. TiFW was driving down the street at that same instant - said it looked awfully close....

I was in an open 12 ft craft and got caught in a thunderstorm. Took shelter under a cantilevered dock. Of course, the wind was blowing the rain in my direction. Thought about running to the other side of the lagoon, when a sheet of lightening came down about fifty feet to my left. I heard a hum, and then an ungodly crack of thunder. A few minutes later, the rain stopped and the skies cleared. Got home and mom got on the phone to the Coast Guard to call off the search. They appreciated that...

In the movie, "A Time to Kill", a young African American child hollers from a courthouse upper story window, "Carl Lee is innocent!" when the verdict is announced. Between that and the closing argument of the defense attorney, the legal aspects of that story I found repugnant.

But Grisham is, after all, of the left, even if he is from Mississippi.

While avoiding impugning the dead, no one had anything good to say? "Some of his deficits were not moral or behavioral, nor of character, but of intellect; a midwit at best, he regulated as if a towering intellect with a nigh-magical power to foresee knock-on effects to the nth order, which he absolutely did not possess."

205 Well, I didn’t claim trial by Judges would be any better. They’ve managed to fook the system, and twist it into an expensive debacle. It will go away on its own. Hell, they don’t even like prosecuting crime any longer anyway. It’s easier that way.

Just ran in it Stellarium zoomed in for fun.

The Sun will occult Uranus from 4:49 AM EDT 'til 4:01 PM EDT on Friday, the 22nd.

And that's running JPL DE440, so it's damn accurate. I was too lazy to switch to geocentric coordinates from my local topocentric. Solar parallax isn't that much, but it will effect the timing a smidge. Geocentric coordinates are the official definitions of these events.

217 A lot of what Congress does in those areas is codify the existing arrangements. Banks were already too big to fail. Might as well cement that in, make it look legal.

Repealing Glass-Steagall just recognized what was already de facto law? Banks couldn’t sell Insurance, and Insurance co. were supposed to stay out of banking. Fuck it, YOLO, right?

“Who Runs Bartertown?” same question as 250 years ago. Guys like Hamilton thought it should be the large banks, and natural aristocracy. Hm.

The feds were, and probably still are in a smaller way, funders of the NGO network but they aren't the only ones. There are a myriad of foundations, companies and billionaires still funding them.

227 I had lightning strike very close on a cloudless, sunny day. One of the weirder things to have happen to me, and I’ve had a few. Walking along the river on the University of Iowa campus. Seemed like it struck the river itself about 60 or 70 yards away. Loud as hell.

Scared the crap out of me. I looked around, to see who else enjoyed that. “Did you see that!?!” Not a soul around. WTF? Never mind…
