Jeez what a surprise. The Canadian government supports and promotes racism. Canada's top taxpayer-funded theater sparks fury by holding 'blacks only' performance of play that BANS white and Asian people from attending California’s reparations task force met again on Friday in San Diego with public comment from speakers who urged bold action and for the state to go forward with payments to African Americans as repayment for slavery. After comments by Dr. Shirley Weber, California Secretary of State, one speaker blasted the suggested amount of $223,000 per resident as insufficient. Reverend Tony Pierce came to the microphone and slammed the idea of limiting the cash payouts to California residents: "There should be no residency requirements for California! We have to encourage our people to come back to California! What better way to encourage our people to come back to California if we have no requirements?" "How will reparations be paid?" he added. "Immediately!" The problem with telescopic urinals? They are deadly.

Wide Open Spaces needed a quick filler article. 9 ODD THINGS THAT SCARE THE BEJEEZUS OUT OF US WHILE DEER HUNTING We've all had a run in with something while trying to do some deer hunting that startled us, spooked us, or downright scared the bejeezus out of us when all we wanted to do was to fill the freezer with some fresh venison. But the fact remains that not everyone hunts in mountain lion or grizzly bear country, and not everything that gives us a chill down the spine is something that is necessarily dangerous. On the contrary, some of these things are downright comical, as you will see. It all begins with the way we prepare for our deer hunt and leads to some of the things that we encounter on our way to and from the woods. As well as we arrange and devise our deer hunting schedule, we still seem to find ourselves at the mercy of things that we just cannot seem to control.My spookiest moment?

I can see where some may argue that the tank is still a centerpiece of modern ground warfare and suggest that we don’t have enough of the most modern variants.
The lesson from the current war is "if you can see it you can kill it". Tanks seem much easier to see then infantry... Oh and the lesson from the last couple of wars, that the US fought, was either fight to win or don't fight. Sending Americans to die in some 'Stan because you figure the locally 'Stanis will get tired of dying first is stupid. Posted by: 18-1 at January 29, 2023 10:12 PM (lc5cP) 31

Certainly the defense contractors will make this case, as it will greatly expand their bottom line.” Lt. Col. Daniel Davis, a fellow at Defense Priorities
The bottom line is that we don't want to ship tanks to Ukraine, but Germany refused to ship tanks unless we did. So, we're slow-rolling it. I don't think much of General Miley, but he has apparently identified our two leading goals in Ukraine as: 1) Avoid direct combat between NATO and Russia; and 2) Limit the conflict to the territory of Ukraine. Both goals I heartily endorse. Posted by: The ARC of History! at January 29, 2023 10:14 PM (2tUFv) 37

I hope Stephen Lara gets his day in court. And I pray that justice be done.
Saw the report on his illegal seizure by the Nevada State Police (or whatever their name was at the time) and it was sickening to see this military veteran treated so poorly. The penalty assessed in Lara's favor needs to be high enough to ensure this sort of civil rights violation never occurs again, in Nevada or any other state.

The Economist magazine has a bright, chirpy, uplifting article about - er, destroying books.
It's paywalled but you can read the beginning: At a recycling plant on the outskirts of Kyiv, a short drive from the site of a helicopter crash that killed 14 people (including Ukraine’s interior minister) a week earlier, a group of sorters, most of them middle-aged women, are ripping apart hundreds of Russian books. The cover of Tolstoy’s “Childhood, Boyhood and Youth”, days away from being reborn as a coffee-cup sleeve or an egg carton, goes into one garbage bag. The novel’s pages, destined to end up as paper for other books, in Ukrainian, or as cheap toilet-paper, go into another. Next comes a selection of poems by Mayakovsky. Then a Soviet physics textbook. Then biographies of Pushkin and Dostoevsky. And so on. Destroying Tolstoy, Pushkin, and Dostoevsky. Maybe they can have big bonfires that they can throw the books into as well!

Not gonna say clot shot, but clot shot.
Right now we know the rates of cancer deaths among the clot shotted are way up. It isn't just "people not going in for checkups" because the non clot shotted aren't dying at the same clip. Of course any potential cancer could have been fatal sans the clot shot. Amusingly this is the inverse of the whole argument for the clot shot - get the clot shot and you'll be less like to die of COVID. That looks...nominal at best. But we know the odds of dying go up when you take it so the US should be following Europe's path and banning it now. Posted by: 18-1 at January 29, 2023 10:28 PM (lc5cP) 108

Destroying Tolstoy, Pushkin, and Dostoevsky.
BTW, the destruction of Russian literature in Ukraine is described as "Another failure for Vladimir Putin". But not to worry, The Economist assures us that: "Millions of Ukrainians continue to speak Russian without suffering discrimination." Of course. The fact that you are fined if you speak Russian on Ukrainian television (as happened to the mayor of Kharkov when he briefly spoke in Russian at a telethon); that the use of Russian as a language of instruction is now completely banned in all Ukrainian schools and universities; and as is apparent, that Ukraine intends to eliminate Russian culture from Ukraine - none of this would indicate that Russian-speaking Ukrainians will be discriminated against.

It was just the other day, with the PV Pfizer twink sting that it really sunk in about how the media is completely controlled. I mean X-Files level stuff. Over the past couple of days, the Pfizer twink has been disappeared online. All record of him is being scrubbed. (He may be literally scrubbed of the face of the earth soon). Not a single peep out of the media. Pfizer, et al owns the fucking media. And apparently a good portion of the US govt. Although it would be best to think of them as partners in cahoots with each other. Google is in overdrive with the scrubbing as well.

Hanging kids on the door, not so much.
Posted by: SMH at January 30, 2023 02:04 AM (qtwVU) Back then, kids were a source of entertainment that would get parents arrested today. To whit: I was about 3 or 4. We were vising my great-uncle's farm in Maryland. He grew corn and had a large herd of milk cows. He also had a duck pond for fish and migratory fowl. When we visited one winter, we were able to 'skate' in our shoes across the ice. But this one time it was summer. The pond had a small dock. I was on the dock with my Dad and some other people. My Dad just decided to pick me up and drop me in the water. At the time, I could barely dog paddle. So as I'm sinking under this pea soup-colored water, I thought to myself, down is dark, up is light. So I struggled mightily to get to the surface. When I broke the surface and gasped my Dad, still standing on the dock, had a good laugh. I really did have a 'sink or swim' lesson as a child.

Just ventured outside to have a smoke and glance at the sky. It is brisk out, we are expecting some Arctic weather at the end of the week. The skies are quite overcast, guessing that I won't see Mercury tonight.

I saw that at the Daily Mail. The fire crew had to dig a pit off the side of the road, fill it with water and submerge the burning wreck to keep it from reigniting.
That was a separate incident last summer involving a Tesla that was sitting in a junk yard after being involved in an accident. Dug a hole, pushed the car in, filled the hole (And the car) with water to keep the battery from reigniting. Posted by: Fox 2! at January 30, 2023 02:26 AM (qyH+l) 600
Jumping off the giant rock in Waimea Bay on Oahu’s North Shore—commonly called Jump Rock—has become almost a rite of passage for visitors to the island, landing on bucket lists and travel itineraries. There are no special rules or regulations prohibiting people from making the 30-foot leap from this rock, but city officials, including lifeguards, don’t recommend it.
