• Speculation

In US, left dominated law, media, & academia, while right dominated construction, medicine, engineering, military, & police. Tech was right, but recently taken over by left. Are current protests bid by left to use their power bases to take over police & make it left dominated? (more + link)

AOC has a pretty face. Here are two reasons to nonetheless regard her as a destructive force:

• "Social workers in the United States are overwhelmingly female (83%) and mostly white (69%). Defunding the police means a lot fewer jobs for black and Hispanic men and a lot more jobs for white women."

• "The real reason American socialists are enjoying a moment today is social and cultural poverty. The root cause is something like loneliness."

• Fun investigation of some of the noisemakers.

• Elon's sincerest flatterers.

• This ties into the 'socialism' thing, above.

• As does this observation.

Maybe it's getting old that makes it so blindingly obvious: These people want to go to church, but are afraid of even the trivial intimacies that a religious practice entails. To wit—

Ninnies are terrified by things like this. (Such services weren't a part of my childhood Christianity, either. Methodists were pretty mild by then.)

Meanwhile, this is a great photo of cropland.

You should try some of the Pentecostal churches, Crid. There is nothing like shopping around for a church when they bring out the snakes and herbs.

Not too long ago, no one could have imagined flipping off the President when gas was going for $1.81/Gal.

One eighty NINE. Still.

Here's a cute kid.

Karens. What would we do without Karens? also, don't consent to a search unless they have a warrant.

“So, I answered the door. The police officer was, he was very nice. He explained to me that he was coming to address an issue with my son's school,” Courtney told Project Baltimore. “And then explained to me that he was here to search for weapons, in my home. And I consented to let him in. And then I, unfortunately, stood there and watched police officers enter my 11-year-old son's bedroom.”

Courtney was told someone had seen the guns in her son’s bedroom during a Google Meet class on his laptop.

...

According to emails Courtney later exchanged with a school administrator, a screenshot was taken during the online class. The principal of Seneca Elementary was notified. Courtney says she was told the school safety officer then called police.

Push back. "But...but...we're your allies!"

Black lady screams at white liberals blocking the street

"You racist white liberals do this sh*t every f****** four years. We’re tired of it…F*** you, you dumb b*tch. You’re not here for me. You’re here because you’re dumb as f***”

Although my mother told me that, 60+ years ago, Methodist "pledge cards" were enough to make her turn Lutheran (well, this was South Dakota after all).

OMG, an 11-year-old with a BB gun! I had a Daisy BB gun at 9. My dad used it to teach me gun safety, warning me to be sure of what was beyond my target as well as my target. Good idea since the thing was like shooting a musket - accuracy was more a matter of hope than skill. Besides, the damn thing was so weak, I once shot myself in the foot and barely felt it.

Granted, today's pellet guns are much more powerful and accurate - a .177 pellet gun can be used to hunt small game.

I question the "in pursuit of becoming an Eagle Scout" at 11. You start the Boy Scouts at 11, so every Boy Scout, at that point, is technically "in pursuit of becoming and Eagle Scout." Still, he's probably a good kid.

No matter what I said four days ago, the broad-shouldered demeanor of Chicago's transportation workers has moments of charm.

(I still want to piss in the coffee of that shrew behind American's O'Hare counter in Dec '18, though.)

Har! This happened.

I heard once, from a very non-scientific source, that pandas love to be cuddled.

Since I don't recall any photos of zoo workers doing that, I wonder, if that's true, if it has more to do with young pandas that were separated from their parents - or something similar.

In the meantime, here's Trevor Noah on Nancy Pelosi and kente clothing:

This happened.

Oh. I wonder if they've heard of "google"? no probably not. I do have a suggestion: "Lady Ahole". Probably not taken.

Find the heretic! He must be *checks notes* burned at the stake! Or sent to live in the Democratic People's Republic of Chazistan for a minimum of 6 years.

Between October of 2019 and February of 2020, a person presumed to be a white supremacist terrorized black students with racist and threatening graffiti on the campus of Salisbury University in Maryland.

I seriously need to know. I don't get out of the house much!

I Auntie Anne's a genuine brand?…

Or is this all a scam?

Yes Crid it is real. I think I've eaten there once. So I wouldn't call it amazing or wonderful or whatever. But if you are really hungry and you don't have better options it won't kill you like Panda Express might.
