Sunday Overnight Open Thread (2/25/24)
Quote I “Health is one of the top drivers to the plant-based meat category, and we feel a deep responsibility to deliver on that expectation for the consumer,”Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown
Quote II “The Green New Deal is a scam! They’re giving the NYCHA apartments away! They’re giving illegal aliens $10,000 a day! They’re trying to take NYCHA and give it away! I want you to debate me AOC!”
Congressional candidate, Jonathan David Rinaldi declared
Quote III “I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run for president. I’m a woman of my word. I’m not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.” Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley
Obviously not the majority of South Carolinians.
Quote IV Feckless policymakers, in league with their rapacious corporate cronies and other greedy elitists, have divined a critical distinction between the defunct Soviet variant of the communist virus and that of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP): unlike the former Soviet Union, western elites can make a buck off the communist China. Thaddeus G. McCotter

When Gavin Newsome is done with politics. (Not soon enough for most Americans) He will be perfect in Hollywood. He can recite make believe lines without cracking up.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that President Joe Biden’s presidency has been a “masterclass” in how to run the United States. Anchor Kristen Welker said, “There are some pretty stark numbers you are facing. Seventy-six percent of voters say they have real concerns about President Biden’s ability to serve a second term. Do you think it is responsible for Democrats to put him at the top of the ticket given these concerns?”
The Poison Ivy folks don't care for Peter Thiel. Their worthlessness is being exposed.
Peter Thiel’s $100,000 Offer to Skip College Is More Popular Than Ever Peter Thiel is trying harder than ever to get young people to skip college. Since 2010, Thiel, an early Facebook investor and a founder of PayPal Holdings, has offered to pay students $100,000 to drop out of school to start companies or nonprofits. Early on, he met intense criticism. Some accused Thiel, who holds philosophy and law degrees from Stanford, of hypocrisy. Others said it was wrong to discourage young people from finishing their education. Former Harvard University President Lawrence Summers called it the “single most misdirected bit of philanthropy in this decade.”
Evert victory is important.
Judge Declares Fargo's Ban on Home-Based Gun Businesses Goes Too Far For several years the city of Fargo, North Dakota has prohibited FFL's from operating out of their homes, but the state legislature took aim at that restriction last year and passed a law that bans localities from establishing zoning ordinances that specifically include firearms and ammunition based businesses. The city almost immediately filed suit challenging the law, but this week state District Judge Cherie Clark ruled against Fargo; tossing out the city's lawsuit and rejecting its argument that the zoning preemption law violates the state constitution and the home rule powers granted to local authorities.
Born on this day: February 25, 1943 - George Harrison
George Harrison guitarist and vocalist with The Beatles The all-time bestselling album in the UK is The Beatles’ 'Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band', with over 4.5 million copies sold. Harrison wrote the 1969 US No.1 & UK No.4 Beatles single ’Something’. As a solo artist he had the 1971 US No.1 album 'All Things Must Pass' and the 1970 worldwide No.1 single ‘My Sweet Lord’. He was also a member of the Traveling Wilburys with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. He organised the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh with Indian musician Ravi Shankar, a precursor to later benefit concerts such as Live Aid. In his role as a music and film producer, Harrison produced acts signed to the Beatles' Apple record label before founding Dark Horse Records in 1974. He co-founded HandMade Films in 1978, initially to produce the Monty Python troupe's comedy film The Life of Brian (1979). Harrison died of cancer on November 29th 2001 age 58. via thisdayinmusic.com

But ever since one particular treatment five years ago, he's been free of both cancer and HIV. The patient is now considered in remission from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and in another two years, he could be considered 'cured' of HIV, as that will mark five years from his last treatment.

Koch Network Withdraws Financial Support for Nikki Haley
Americans For Prosperity CEO said on Sunday, following the S.C. primary, that the group’s policy arm had decided to ’take stock' of its campaign spending.
The billionaire Koch family’s libertarian policy advocacy group “Americans for Prosperity Action” has said that it is pulling back its financial backing of GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley.
Following the former South Carolina governor’s performance in her home state’s primary on Saturday, in which she trailed former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner, by about 20 percent of the vote, Americans For Prosperity (AFP) CEO Emily Seidel said on Sunday that the group’s policy arm had decided it was time to “take stock” of its campaign spending.
President Trump received 47 of South Carolina’s delegates, while Ms. Haley got three.

>>Haley is still in because she expects Trump to be in prison/dead before the election.
As a percentage bet, it's not a bad bet.
Trump will can and will run from prison.
There is a dark part of me that wants to see Trump in Prison, writes a tome called: Reflections from a SuperMax Prison, get elected President, smash cut to cell bars opening, Trump walking the block, prisoners and guards cheering him, he emerges from prison, dons black shades, pulls Melania in for a kiss, and steps on a helicopter, to be whisked to his inauguration.

BREAKING: Nikki Haley has now blown a staggering $76.4 million in the first three primary contests for her seemingly doomed campaign to challenge former President Donald Trump for the Republican 2024 nomination.
Nikki is doing the job Liz Cheney hoped to do. However, Lizzy burned too many bridges behind her on the March To Destroy Donald Trump and His Imaginary White Heathen Insurrectionist Army. Good riddance to both of them.

1. Two more US-supplied Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems were destroyed by the Russians, at a cost of a billion dollars apiece. Guess we won't be getting our deposit back on them.
2. Zelensky admitted that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed, which is kind of strange, seeing how it is generally known that the real total is over ten times that number.
3. Transnistia, (no sex pervert jokes, please) a Russian-controlled sliver of territory in the far southwest of Ukraine, is talking about formally joining Russia. This would make a NATO attempt to sieze the port city of Odessa a lot more difficult.

I had to look up Chicken Dinner candy. It came out in the 1920s by some outfit in Milwaukee. It was a chocolate candy bar with nuts. It didn't taste like chicken.
The name meant it was the chicken dinner of candy bars, the best there was.
Back in the those days in most of the country, a chicken dinner was a fancy, Sunday dinner class meal.
That candy went out in 1962, when the company was bought out.

No, I was not suggesting that the Deep State would assassinate Trump. Rather that they would engineer a Black Swan event. In the novel reference, which I screwed up, the assassin bought "low field", not "high field" which caused the crowd to hush, because the weather was fine, and the ship was making a very fast crossing. Point being, the assassin planned to engineer a black swan event by killing Bond, and throwing his body overboard, which would cause the ship to reverse course to search for him, and make the assassin's improbable bet pay off, bigly.

I don't think you can show the Vietnamese officer executing the commie on YouTube. Violates their TOS as it shows violence/'murder'. I noticed a lot of historical war films that I had seen before are now censored on YouTube so as not to show the dead, even the executions of the concentration/death camp personnel. Just recently, those on YouTube covering the Danny Masterson/Scientology rape trial couldn't say the word 'rape' as it was deemed 'violent'. No wonder we have so many special snowflakes today: They don't get taught real history and now they'll get fake AI historical images.
We are living in a sci-fi dystopian novel. So many scenes from 'They Live' now make that movie a documentary, along with 'Escape From New York'. The invaders just aren't aliens from outer space, they're power hungry alien creatures born right here.

One of my great experiences as a kid was having my parents come home -- especially my Dad -- and letting me look through his change (coins) to find pennies, nickels and dimes for my coin collection.
There's practically no reason to look for coins that way these days.

The first problem with Liz is that she looks just like Miss Piggy. Truly unfortunate for someone in politics. Who was the democrat politician who had a pig nose? If Liz married him, can you imagine what their kids would look like?
The other problem for Liz is that the ONLY reason anyone pays attention to her is because of who her father was. She's a female Jeb Bush.

During the Depression years in Canada, 2-dollar bills were rarely seen in the Prairie provinces because of the stigma attached to them: two dollars was the price of a hooker, so possessing two-dollar bills suggested that one was a hooker, or a pimp, or a patron of hookers.

Ordinarily absent government fvckery, prices go down. Not up. Probably nobody hardly even knows that these days. All they have ever seen is their hard earned savings inflate away to nothing.

The unseen part of that is that inflation destroys the customer experience side of retail and service sectors, since inflation makes those positions non-tenable.
In a deflationary economy, there would be gas jockeys and box boys and public toilets would be cleaner. Inflation steals jobs as well as wages and savings.

My favorite I think is Jack Kerouac (well lubricated) and Ed Sanders, of the Fugs, and some sociologist. Beatnik meets Hippie. Much hilarity ensues.
The year was 1968, and Sanders tries to equate the invasion of Czechoslavakia by the Soviets with … something. Kerouac shreds him, even half lit with one hand tied behind his back. Fascinating glimpse into a time when it all went sideways.

Holy cow, I have not heard Iron Maiden in a long time. Pooky was confused when I said we should play the band's songs when we encountered an iron maiden in Pathfinder. I told his father that Pooky's education was severely lacking the next time I saw him, and he immediately threw Pooky's straight-laced mom under the bus.

Other than goofing up on paperwork to EDD for family leave pay, they were great (and once I contacted them jumped on that quickly, but bureaucracy is bureaucracy, and they denied me, so appealing).

This was asked some time ago..... if I remember the answer, it's the most-frequently used nickname for a given hash that's used for the Walls of Shame. I'm not sure how it chooses for commenters who change nics for every comment.
That's also how some people get on the list multiple times; they post from two places so they have two frequently-used hashes.

No joke, just darn hard to maneuver around that pole and stay in the bike line. Although it is pretty funny if you've ever been tempted to run over those spandex clad wankers riding three across on a narrow road.

All it does is chop up a flowing, readable and comprehensible comment thread, such as this, into countless, SEPARATED "conversations", each deriving from ONE "initial" comment, and then all of it's responses, in kind.
With none of the interwoven insight, humor, additive wisdoms and building of community, as is shown as in tonight's ONT, alone.
When the flow goes from the political, to commiserating with COMM over an impending loss, and Jim in KA of as to his recent loss, and then humor and Wall of Shame maintenance, all while holding together as a unified conversation.
Disqus has nothing to offer, and nothing to compare.

Libertarian wags in the 70's suggested that keeping the name of the dollar the same was deceitful, and that the denomination should match the president. So many Ikes would outpurchase the same amount of Johnsons or Nixons, and so on. The joke went stale when we got to "January Obamas" vs "December Obamas."

It's like going to the toilet on a submarine: Pulling levers and turning valves. And if you do either wrong, there is a mighty blow.
A place I used to go to, Cafe Reggio, an old Italian espresso shop from 1927 (they served coffee snacks, canolis and the like), had a machine from 1902. Great espresso. Worth the wait. Get the double. And the canoli.

My daughter called me on her way home from day shift at a major DC ER to ask if I'd seen any local news today.
She said the EMTs said he flat out burned for over a minute before the SS responded (maybe why bystanders tried to put him out?), and that they were scraping through char to intubate him.
Third degree, 98% of his body.
And everybody who worked on him came out smelling strongly of accellerant.
