12 Happy weekend!

Had an interview today that went well I think, I should hear back next week whether that's true, any next steps, etc.

Got one interview scheduled and one 'working on being scheduled' for next week.

Got a couple others that I'm waiting for the recruiter to give me a status update on.

I'm feeling optimistic after today's interview.

But for the record...
"God, if this is the job You want me to have, please make it all go smoothly. Please help me to accept wherever You send me."

True story. When I was diving in the Caribbean I was on the waiting list for a company that found a sunk Spanish ship. Pay was cheap but every diver got a small cut of the treasure. Which was a lot.

Still waiting.

There is still an assload of gold down there.

I've read plenty of big books, however. I don't think Dolly cares if I honor her or not. She was a kind, generous woman, so I hope I honor her appreciating her talent and by loving the Lord in a perhaps smaller way than she evidently did

I'd never presume to tell you what to do BUT: We took care of a little one (not our kin) for three years until things settled at home. He was a joy and a gift to us and all that met him. We love that little shit to the moon and back. However, we also had two temporarily that were so damaged by their 'parents' that they are, and will continue to be, a real problem for themselves, caregivers and future prison guards.

Curious how she blames "men on the internet." My dear sweet used-up blown-out ran-through cumdumpster, it's the sisterhood that's been lying to you all these years. The more representative groups of men on the internet do not find whores, current or former, do be suitable wifey/LTR material, no matter what the slatterns cheering you on with their synchronized chants of "YASSS SLAY KWEEN" have been telling you.

Perhaps the sex worker should not be so open. Read that however you want.

I felt bad laughing at the drunk guy set to music. I also feel bad (no you don't) that you and your brothers and cousins used to sit on a curb (forbidden to cross street) at your grandmother's. We watched The Little Red Schoolhouse for children weekly, back then labeled retarded, and returned to grandmother's and acted the same characters in a playhouse. I know I need to confess this next time to the priest, altho I wasn't Catholic yet so maybe that does not count.

Kids: there is a differece in girls and boys we are finding out. Yesterday our girl was an emotional mess over weird stuff after her first full week of kindergarten. Tired vs psychotic. (My husband decided she might be a serial killer when she was 5mo old and bald because she would stare you down.) Now he's sure of it.

They finished a game of monopoly while I put the baby to bed. Time to clean up & she kicked the money around and started kicking her big bro til Pop yelled at her for the first time. She wept. She's normally good but crazy. They are good kids for one to be a budding serial killer.

A US military judge ruled Friday that confessions made by alleged 9/11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to FBI agents are inadmissible and cannot be used against him at trial, The New York Times reported.

The ruling comes just before the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

This week, the trial date for Mohammed and three others accused plotters was set for June 5, 2028, at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Catastrophic geologic and weather events are how the Earth's surface has been shaped for ..... 100s of millions of years.

It's a (redundant) measure of how collapsed science is, and how scientifically illiterate and just practically dumb the world's populace is, that "human influence" on "climate" is treated as anything more than a marginal and implausible hypothesis.

You just triggered a dozen or so flashbacks

They were thinking it was an earthquake that triggered it. But the latest from the USGS looking at the seismic data is the first even was that glacier breaking loose, and no triggering earthquake.

"Tectonic uplift" was probably a big factor. The mountains are sort of still being pushed up slowly, and the chunk of glacier just reached the breaking point.

146 >> Gravity has it in for all of us, honestly....

Gravity is the weakest of all the four fundamental forces, but it always wins in the end. On all scales, basically.

The other three, while much stronger, can be both attractive and repulse and have positive and negative source "charges" that cancel out.

She looks mean, which would be all I'd need for a guilty verdict. Or if the person was ugly. Because I am fair.

Her profile reminds me of a bird of prey. A buzzard.

There is something very wrong with the women who support her (I know they are pro-abortion just by looking at them).

All you have to look at is the dreaded Younger Dryas. Now that was climate change. Big Time. 70 - 80% of North American megafauna were wiped out. That was the mammoths, elephants, dire wolves, giant beavers, saber tooth tigers, lions, etc, etc. All wiped out in a geological instant.

And obviously humans had fuck all to do with it.

My fascination with the Younger Dryas of late led me to read on the "uniformitarianism/gradualism" vs catastrophism debate in the early days of geology. Very heated it got (read the story of J. Harlen Bretz).

Now, I think the true picture is both. We have long periods of boring gradualism punctuated by short periods of pure terror.

In 1979, they awarded J. Harlen the Penrose Medal, the highest honor in geology. He was 96, and died soon after in 1981.

He was totally vindicated and honored. He remarked at the time that all his old enemies were dead, and he had no one to gloat over. His enemies back in the day tried to absolutely destroy him. It amazes me how mean people can get with this stuff.

Genuine is the key. Creating actual value.

One option is gig work. I don't just mean driving for Uber or DoorDash; a younger cousin of mine showed me Fiverr, for even things like helping a small business with its data, like converting an Excel spreadsheet to a proper database, or generating useful reports.

Another is volunteer work, which I sometimes do when I'm between jobs. I used to prefer hospitals, though now I would steer away from that for post-covid clotshot tyranny. My other go-to was a food bank. There are lots of things. If you play your cards right, you could maybe even parlay it into starting your own grifter NGO for generational wealth!

There's a theory there. The tasty animals in Africa evolved along with the ape-men and natural selection ensured that the animals who were wily enough to stay off the menu were the ones that produced the most offspring. Sort of a long-running arms race where parity was more or less maintained.

In the New World the spear-carriers showed up all at once, and the animals didn't have time to adjust. So they just stood around and got massacred.

This is something I read on the internet.

As Rabin said to our small group, when asked to explain Israel's history of military successes: "first, you must consider our enemies".

Even better are very credible reports of US hydrologic engineering, removing natural features to create/improve a channel near the Omani coast. The only real comprehensive/permanent solution here is end of the pernicious regime, but systematically weakening or destroying their points of leverage is a beautiful process.

Thats a big piss off to me. There was a song from a metal band I really liked, so I decided to learn it. The lead was intense, very fast and required serious dexterity. I took me a few days to get the nuts and bolts of it, which for me is a long time, but it was that kind of lead, but I got it. I see the band live and they play the song. I said oh boy here's the lead...and it sounds frigging horrible. Not even close, not in the same league, not even in the same universe. I mentioned it to somebody and he tells me, well that dude didn't play the lead on the album. It turns out another guitar player from a different band stepped in to do it. That pissed me off. I wanted to see how he did it, and it wasn't even him. Fucker...

A great many commercial “Live” performance recordings really are not, they dub in the audience noises to studio recordings. Or at best do a lot of overdubs and backing tracks later, in the studio.

284 Friday night greetings--

Neighbors at end of road had an emergency tonight-- the wife was having chest pain, ended up going to hospital in ambulance.

Please pray for Kathy!

285
Will do JQ!

286 Hi, four seasons. Thanks. Kathy is a very sweet lady, and just barely 29!

287
Just like us JQ, lol

288 Lol. But I think she's not even 70 yet. Doesn't drink or smoke, is physically active and "eats healthy"...

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't.

289 98 Curious how she blames "men on the internet." My dear sweet used-up blown-out ran-through cumdumpster, it's the sisterhood that's been lying to you all these years. . . .

I'm starting to lean toward questioning whether it's even nonfiction. The 'lesson' of the purported complaint is to not believe everything you read on the internet, right? I can picture a troll thinking that was cute and meta, for the story and narrator to also be lies.

My reasoning is because there's a significant minority of men that are full-blown Dark Triad, and would get a kick out of lying to keep her whoring, so they could use her and then marry someone else. But! They would also be doing it to her face. Many of her customers would be in that camp, so if she even existed, then she should've known them well enough to disbelieve them.

290
Most of the shit on the internet is just made up shit. I ignore it.

So many people want to be victims.

Hey, maybe someone will start a go fund me.

291 E-thot story is clickbait, imo. Bleh.

292
Yep

293 Hi JQ, prayers up for Kathy.

294 I got that stupid earworm stuck in my head and went and looked up some Plymouth Arrow information, I don't remember a ton of them on the road.

Slayer's Angel of death will remove all ear worms, trust me. lol

295 Hi, Debby.

How's your brother?

296 And how are YOU Debby?

297 280 Had to look up where Cal-Poly was located. West of Bakersfield, along the coast. Kind of halfway between San Francisco and LA. Idaho U is located in Moscow, Idaho.

There are two Cal-Polys. Cal-Poly SLO in San Luis Obispo, on the central coast, and Cal-Poly Pomona located east of Los Angeles.

Poly = Polytechnic. Mainly science and engineering. I believe SLO also has a fairly large Agricultural program.

298 Re: clickbait ho--

Doesn't everyone discuss their sordid past and body-count on a first or second date?

Courtesy Grok (the irony):

softwe dot com (blocked by my provider, Spectrum)

carryfeed dot com (verified, it works. click "open file" to view the video. I used the Fido Friday tweet ONT WTF tweet above. Does not work with Brave shields up.)

tweetviewer dot com (verified, same tweet, it just works, and plays the video just fine, works with Brave shields up)

301 Evening, ONT Horde, and WD, if you are still awake. Home from car club meet in Calgary at the crack of midnight. Faint aurora visible tonight.

302 JQ, he is fine, I got home about 8:30 this morning, he had to wait around for a cat scan because he hit his head. I have a feeling that he is going to become a frequent flyer at the ER, lots of falls recently. He really can't walk but he keeps trying to anyway. C'est la vie.

303 I believe SLO also has a fairly large Agricultural program.

It used to stink something fierce with all the cows, although nothing stunk worse than that 5-10 mile stretch of I-5 near 580 (or vice versa), where the freeway was next to a ranch. I don't understand how that thing was allowed to exist there. It was unbelievably bad.

304 >>He really can't walk but he keeps trying to anyway.

Glad he's ok, Debby.

Yeah, they forget they're not fully functional, don't they? You know this all too well, I suspect...

305 The Cal-Poly Mustangs pull a rabbit out of a hat and beat Idaho! Ok, not yet. Still have 9 seconds to go. 38-34 Cal-Poly. Had to look up where Cal-Poly was located. West of Bakersfield, along the coast. Kind of halfway between San Francisco and LA. Idaho U is located in Moscow, Idaho.

San Luis Obispo. Cute little town. 15 MI south you're in Pismo Beach, 15 MI north and you're in Morro Bay, yet the town is about 10 MI inland.
Fun fact about U of Idaho, about 2 miles west is the WA border, and about 8 miles further on and you're in Pullman, home of the Wash St. Cougars.
BTW, I once looked up what the hell is "Obispo" in Spanish. It's "Bishop". So whoever the Saint Louis they named this town after was a Bishop.

306 Mom was a Coug, Dad was a Vandal-- they met at a "mixer" dance.

307 228 216 Sweating was a pretty fortunate evolutionary happenstance for humans. That's how we win. We're pack endurance hunters and we dissipate heat at unusual levels that let us force our prey into heat exhaustion before we moved for the kill.

Never heard that. Very interesting.

Bipedal motion plays into endurance hunting, with its energy efficiency: just shift your center of balance, let gravity pull you forward, and catch yourself. I walk several miles every day, just to keep minimally nonunfit. It barely burns any calories.

308 There are two Cal-Polys. Cal-Poly SLO in San Luis Obispo, on the central coast, and Cal-Poly Pomona located east of Los Angeles.

There's one up.in Humbolt, too. They're all under the CSU umbrella. SLO is the oldest. I worked with a guy who graduated from there in '68.
RIP, Ralph.

I had one once. Sporty-looking little fastback coupe; had a Mitsubishi engine that made good power, but cracked cylinder heads like they were going out of style. I eventually found a good cylinder head, got it running, and sold it.

The ranch was there before the freeway. We all have to eat.

311 Sweet dreams Horde, I grow sleepy.

Bers, I can't go to sleep with a heavy metal earworm, but it is a great suggestion.

312 Night, Debby. Rest well!

313 Well, I need to get to bed. Heading back to Calgary in the morning. Hotel rooms were $200 per night. Screw that. I filled the Avanti this morning for $75, and that fuel will give me 2 round trips to Calgary, and I can sleep in my own bed.

Night, Horde.

314 Night, AOP. Safe travels!

315 Here's hoping it's cool enough tomorrow afternoon, and I won't feel *too depleted* to mow my yard weeds.

316 John Madden played football at Cal Poly SLO. He was sick and missed a team trip; their plane crashed leaving Toledo, and there were no survivors. That's what put him off flying.

Ugh. People don't get less stubborn with time, and generally don't start out too flexible to begin with. When falling with a water glass in each hand gave her ugly stitches, my mom started using a cane even inside. When that betrayed her on the way out to the car (caught on a sprinkler head), she switched to a walker, and at now 80 has been using it inside her own home for years now.

It isn't pleasant or fun to use a walker to get around the house, but it's more dignified than ambulances and hospitals. Maybe that argument would work?

318 Im on vacation in Greece, down in the islands... and it's terrible.

The Greeks are amazingly friendly and welcoming. Thats not the problem.

European culture has worn me down over the course of a week. I've got another week to go...thankfully on our bareboat charter... but yeah...

Even the food is overrated. They fucking nuke the meat. Overcook the hell out of it.

You can't *reason with* dementia.

Sadly, sometimes a loved one can't remember that they need the extra support. Or, they believe they never really needed it. Or-- who knows? Their world no longer makes sense to them, or us... It's cruel.

Wow, what a disappointment!

It's nice that you're on a "dream vacay" and I hope you find joy, regardless of the cuisine...

321 I am coming around to accepting the loss of my good friend in a plane crash last week, but it gets bad at night. I just want Sabrina back, but photos from the crash scene make it clear that she is just atoms now, and her soul is gone from this world. It's not like I haven't faced death of loved ones before, but she was not old, pretty much in her prime, the absolute expert in her career, one hell of a woman hockey goalie, and just a damned good person.

This too shall pass. But so far, I really don't like it.

I'm selfish like that.

322 Prayers up for your friend, her family, and YOU, tcn!

I cannot imagine your grief.

One can hope that she didn't know it was going to happen, and that it was instantaneous & she felt no pain.

323 Oh, I didn't realize 311 covered "Lovesong"! It's a very chill version, kind of beach house, I like it a lot.

324 Anybody awake up in here?

325 Hi, Ben Had!

How are you?

326 Just me & Cat, I guess...

327 JQ, good morning. I am well. You inspired me to get several more planters ready for fall plantings.

328 When college might have been an option I was planning on going to Cal Poly.

329 That's great, Ben Had! Your best fall planting time is likely later than mine up here.

There's a great planting guide at almanac.com, just plug in your zip for specifics!

330 What are you planning for fall crops, Ben Had?

331 JQ, thank you for that tip. For many years it was impossible to grow much of anything because of the grasshoppers. You can't spray enough to get rid of them when you are on 60 acres and open land all around you. I want to redo all the flowers beds too.

332 51 Evening.
I got a good one today. The neighbors, who are up for felony abuse/neglect, have asked if the wife and I would take their kids.
This is hard. I haven't said no yet and am considering it.
I've known one since he was two and the other since birth.

Oh and my vacation starts in about 2 hours.

Blessings on you, Reforger.

333 It's nice that you're on a "dream vacay" and I hope you find joy, regardless of the cuisine...
Posted by: JQ at August 29, 2026 03:33 AM (rdVOm)

Thank you. It hasn't been all bad. Been exploring ruins and castles and clifftops and immersing myself in history... along with throngs of European tourists who have no concept of personal space.

There's been a heatwave here... it was 100F in Athens when we did the acropolis... not a challenge for those of us who aren't europussies...as long as we can come back to an air conditioned hotel room.

Wait. What was that? They shut off the AC when you leave the room so you end up coming back to a bread oven? Fucking intolerable. Plus their toilets are absolute garbage. Couldn't flush TP at our last luxury hotel in Rhodes. That was .... disgusting.

334 JQ, I am going to have to look at your guide to decide. Potatoes for sure.

335 Pixy's up!

336 Reforger, wow. G-d bless you whatever your decision.

337 Maybe see ya on the Garden Thread, Ben Had!

Good night...

338 Heh, my Cat loves to eat grasshoppers. Protein! (urk!) but he sure keeps their population down, from what I've noticed.

The Week In Woke

FACT: sports "journalists" are just low-IQ damp communist apparatchiks who want to go down on athletes.

Faith in American media keeps hitting new lows. How can news outlets regain that trust? Could it be by investing themselves in a position that 80% of the American public opposes? The Associated Press Sports Editors (APSE) want everyone to hold their beer.

Each year, APSE holds contests for sports coverage in several different categories. This year, the APSE has added a new category for covering transgender sports. The announcement came last month, but curiously did not make news at the time:

APSE first vice president Erik Hall introduced a new category for the upcoming APSE contest. This category is dedicated to recognizing Excellence in Coverage of the Transgender Community in Sports. The announcement was made during the awards banquet at the annual APSE Summer Conference on Saturday night, July 18, 2026, in Arlington, Virginia.

Glorious. No notes. S-tier.

At least four "women's" golf tournaments in Canada this summer have been won by men. aka Women 2.0.

Women 1.0 were crazyyy, man.

I was pleasantly caught off guard by the argument of former journalist Peter Beinart who responded to a group of Michigan Jewish Dems who were uncomfortable with El Sayed by telling them that El Sayed will stop global warming and global warming will be Bad For Jews.

Shut up, Jews. The Radical Gay Islamists are in charge now.

The same people who say Bake My Trans Cake, Bigot are the same people refusing to serve conservatives in their diners and restaurants.

Jonathan Turley:

"This is my place of business."

Those words from Jim Sheehan, owner of the Wydaho Roasters coffee shop in Driggs, Idaho, have sparked the latest controversy over the right of businesses to refuse service on the basis of religious or political views.

Sheehan has drawn national attention after throwing out a group of pro-life teenagers, calling them the equivalent of a Ku Klux Klan meeting in his shop. Sheehan clearly caters to those who want their lattes with an added shot of rage.

However, this and a number of other cases have exposed the hypocrisy of many regarding the service businesses must provide customers with opposing views. From cakes to coffee, shops remain ground zero for an age of rage.

Years ago, politicians and pundits rallied around the effort to force Jack Phillips, a cakeshop owner, to create cakes celebrating same-sex marriages. Phillips objected that it violated his religious beliefs. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court in what many of us hoped would be a final resolution of this conflict.

It wasn't. The Court, under the control of swing-voter and super-gay Kennedy, punted in such a way as to require people to spend hundreds of thousands in court costs to have a chance to find out if they have free speech rights and the right of conscience or not.

A more recent 2023 case expanded people's rights a bit more.

But notably, in cases like Masterpiece Cakeshop, Phillips insisted that he would always sell cakes to any couple, including same-sex couples. He only refused to make cakes specifically celebrating same-sex marriages, due to his religious views.

The case of Wydaho is different. Sheehan refused the same general accommodation offered to all customers because he opposes pro-life causes. In the confrontation, Sheehan declared that "in my world" pro-lifers are no different from the Ku Klux Klan.

"This is my place of business," he declared. "I did a lot of work to get people on the ballot so women would have the right to choose in the state of Idaho, and this is something I do not support, nor does my wife, and it's our business. So we have that choice."

In my view, they do have that choice. Yet it must also be acknowledged what Sheehan is doing is far more extreme than what Phillips did in Masterpiece Cakeshop. He is not being asked to create a coffee concoction opposing abortion, like a Cafe Au Life specialty drink. He acknowledges that other groups might use the shop -- he just does not want these teenagers to use it to support pro-life causes.

The same controversy arose the same week across the country in Virginia. In Alexandria, Fatana Karimi, owner of the Karimi Salon, threw out a woman after she revealed that she was Israeli. Jessica Walton posted an account of the encounter, and a video was later posted on social media.

Breaking news, liberals are terrible, hateful, ill-behaved, maleducated mentally-ill assholes and extreme narcissists who deploy the reasoning of selfish children to say "I get whatever I want whenever I want it, and you get nothing, and no I'm not interested in a rule that favors us equally, I'm special, the rule will always change to favor me at all times."

I'm sure this breaking news which comes as a huge surprise to most of you.

An anonymous account used AI to parody the third season of the woke racebent lame-n-gay Rings of Power, showing dwarves with ludicrous dwarf-fros:

Are they trolling us? Are they cave trolling us? Are they in on the joke now?

The Department of Education has told schools to stop overpunishing white kids and underpunishing black kids to create "balance" in punishment -- irrespective of actual student behavior -- and Reuters is just heart-sick about it.

They have "experts" who say that racism is good!

The U.S. Education Department ​has issued guidance urging schools to stop what it calls "racial balancing" ‌in student discipline policies, prompting concerns that the Trump administration is making it harder to address longstanding racial disparities in school discipline.

Federal civil rights data has shown Black students are ​disciplined at disproportionately high rates.

Is there any reason for that?

Wait, wait, don't tell me -- racism, right?

An Education Department report, opens new tab released in 2023 ​found Black public preschool children received out-of-school suspensions at a rate ⁠nearly twice their enrollment.

The new guidance says schools cannot modify discipline policies ​simply to reduce such racial disparities.

A school's decision "to change its discipline policies with ​the purpose of avoiding or reducing racial disparities in discipline constitutes race discrimination," the Education Department's office for civil rights said in a letter.

It said schools must ensure students are not treated ​differently because of race and that "racial balancing" constitutes discrimination.

Students must be treated equally and not discriminated against or in favor of due to their race, which, experts say, is The New Racism and White Supremacy come out from under its sheet.

The guidance follows the ​department's decision last month to remove several "disparate impact" regulations that for decades have prohibited policies and practices ‌with ⁠discriminatory effects that are often unintended.
President Donald Trump has acted against diversity initiatives, which he calls discriminatory against white people and males. Civil rights advocates say Trump's actions are rolling back social progress by removing practices aimed at helping marginalized groups.

Eric ​Duncan, education equity ​advocacy group EdTrust's ⁠director of P-12 policy, criticized the latest guidance.

"You cannot address racial disparities in school discipline by telling schools to ignore ​race," he said. "Black students have long faced some of the ​harshest discipline ⁠in our nation's schools.

They do not cite any experts on the other side.

"FAQ Schwartz." Whatever.

This is from a year ago, but I think you'll enjoy it anyway.

Women who 'hate' men might be the most desirable to date, shocking dating theory reveals

Beastly left-wing castrating women are pushing the theory that Akshually we're the best partners for the men we despise and want to harm and humiliate.

A recent -- rather controversial -- hot topic in today's dating world has taken the internet by storm: women who openly say they "hate men" might actually be the best partners to date.

According to social media, men could benefit greatly from dating women who express discontent with the opposite sex -- but it's not as controversial as you might think.

TikTok user James White (@jameslwhitee) stirred the pot with a viral video in which he elaborated on this theory -- believing women who say they dislike men could be the most loyal, loving partners out there.

"Okay, so if you're a guy who can find a girl who hates all men, but! But, but, but likes you? You're set. You are literally set for life," James explained, explaining that many men misinterpret these women's stance.

I got this from the Boyscast, who point out that there's a big presence on TikTok of men who say whatever angry feminists want to hear to get them to DM them for sex. It's p***ybait. It's pooterslop.

Or, they postulate, this guy might just be gay.

They also point out that a woman who "hates" anything -- not just men, but anything -- is by definition hateful and angry, and have you ever noticed, people who are generally hateful and angry aren't easy to get along with?

And if they hate you in particular -- rather worse. Rather worse.

He claims that instead of seeing their expressed disdain for men as a negative, he believes it's basically a filter.

"All these girls who hate all men," he added, "they're gonna find one man that they love, that they want to take care of, that they cherish, that they wanna be super kind to, super sweet, everything like that."

If a woman who's skeptical of men as a whole chooses to let you in, then supposedly she's serious about you.

In a separate video, TikTokker @tootsietat added that women who loudly criticize men could be searching for the rare, "not all men" type of guy.

Instead of just talking about the flaws of men in general, these women want to see actual proof of a man embodying the qualities that make him stand apart from the negative stereotypes.

If I said "I would never date a woman from [x] minority because the negative stereotypes I associate with them" -- do you think any leftwingers would urge women from that minority group to try to prove to me they don't embody the negative stereotypes I associate with their race?

Nah, right?

I thought so. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy.
