Drove Mrs Cranky to UHAUL to pick up a van to move stuff to/from her mom’s house (as she deals with the estate).
She commented on all the newly constructed trucking/warehouses being built in the area. I pointed out that the economy is strong, unemployment is down, the stock market is up and inflation is under better control in our country and so it isn’t unexpected.
And even though she stays fairly informed, she wasn’t aware. Then she asked why the Biden campaign isn’t pushing those facts.
Sigh.
It’s wild how political reporters just take it in stride when every Republican accuses them of being far-left enemies of the people who make up stories to benefit the Dems but when Dems make substantive criticisms about their obsession with the horserace or Biden’s age, they hit the fainting couches

The defense has no witnesses of their own and intend to spend the trial trying to discredit all the prosecution’s witnesses as though they’re the entirety of the prosecution’s case.
I mean, it’s a defense, just not a very good one because it rest heavily upon convincing the jury that the only person in the room telling the truth is a defendant who is practically legendary for being a bullshit artist.

It’s the same way that if you tune into the local news, you’d swear that crime is every bit as bad as the darkest days of the 1970s and you can’t walk down the street without a very real danger of being shanked, robbed, or raped.

American voters have memories about as strong as Dory’s. So come this Fall, when it matters, the Biden Campaign is going to use its warchest to saturate the airwaves in the swing states with the story the campaign wants to tell to get its voters to the polls voting for President Biden.

You go with what you’ve got as a defense attorney. It’s not like they can put Trump on the stand (that would be a disastrous mistake I dearly hope they make), or forge documentary evidence, or produce witnesses to testify how concerned Trump was to spare Melania, who was his mistress when he was married to Marla, from finding out he cheated on her.
re: #7 Belafon
How does she stay informed?
Normally, she’s very informed. When I mention stories (particularly political stories) she’s aware of the issues.
However, she gets most of her news from various Reddit groups. Not ideal.
It does illustrate, however, how the right wing noise machine suppresses positive news about the economy, crime, etc.
It also illustrates the battle we need to win to keep voters informed, and the issues with the Biden campaign to get the positive news out to the public.
Having said that, she spends a lot of time in her sewing room working on quilts and listening to audio books. Not a political junky like me.
I think she’s also a bit disconnected trying to deal with her mom’s estate, my health issues (total shoulder replacement), etc.

re: #14 🐈 Crush White Christian Nationalism 🐈
As a child of the NYC 1970s, and was a product of NYC public schools, I can state unequivocally that all the claims that crime is out of control today is total unadulterated bulkshit on a stick.
Crime is at or near multidecade lows. The covid/post-covid crime spikes appear to be localized and temporary, but every news outfit posts about crime on NYC subways, which have more users per day than all but live in LA and the greater Chicago or DFW areas. In other words, the crime rates are low and NYC remains the safest large city in the nation. Cities and localities in Red States have far higher crime rates, but since they’re dispersed among wider areas, no one seems to notice or care.
Trump glaring at what used to be his pecker.
Interesting talk at Princeton Wednesday by Taner Akcam on denialism and racism:
Princeton Armenian Society hosts first Turkish scholar to acknowledge Armenian genocide
Taner Akçam, the inaugural director of the Armenian Genocide Research Program at the University of California, Los Angeles, sat down with the co-president of the Princeton Armenian Society Hayk Yengibaryan ‘26 on Wednesday, April 24 to discuss the history and motives for the continued Turkish denial of the Armenian Genocide.
The talk, which took place in McCosh Hall 50 on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, focused on denial of the Armenian genocide, which Akçam described as “an intrinsic part” of how the genocide is remembered. Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day is held annually to honor the victims of the Armenian genocide, during which at least 600,000 Armenians were killed.
[…]
In drawing comparisons to American society, Akçam stated that denialism should be considered when people speak about racism.“We should consider denialism with racism, because it is a structural problem with society. The system, the mindset, and the institution that created denialism, continues today as [in] the case of slavery or racism in American society today.”
[…]

I have a fantasy where the defense in the election interference claims Stormy Daniels didn’t have sex with TFG. Only to have her describe TFG’s genitals in detail.
At which point the prosecutors demand to see TFGs genitals to confirm her testimony.

They’re afraid of the right cutting off access and thus ruining their operational model. They rely on the center-left to play according to polite norms.
But they’re also not afraid of the right because they can perceive how they could persist in a reactionary system—more stenography.
And they’re afraid of the center-left because even minimal good-faith engagement with the rules might bring accountability to kind of people that own media conglomerates.
There’s no engagement with the left because the left has no power, but also because the left are indifferent to the norms that allow the press to pose as objective outsiders to politics. The “left” is just whatever they need it to be to scare normal people.
But perhaps more relevant than fear is…contempt.
Beltway journalists envision themselves as above categories, and their access grants them a sense of omniscience that produces the “enlightened both-sides take” that appease their owners—who want to be assured that their power and wealth has no implications of bias in how they guide their mouthpieces—and their managers—who are trying to sell papers to as many people as possible and thus don’t want to alienate anyone through truth—and especially the kind of whigs that imagine themselves as sophisticatedly apolitical—America having taught them that having money and creating systems to hold that money dynastically is apolitical but also virtuous.
Republicans only elicit contempt from these people when they’re embarrassing: especially rude, especially crass. Their actual wielding of power rarely elicits comment, though, because their policy can be viewed as meritocratic-if-insensitive. Democrats catch far more contempt because even mild liberalism contains the suggestion that capital is power and those with capital bend the framework of rights and legislation in ways that are political. Socialists and anarchists are absolutely explicit that capital is political, that equal rights cannot abide the power-accruing action of capital, and are thus despised, the labels effectively used to cast a policy position outside of the realm of the sane or the possible.
Occasionally some progressive will be made into a moral pet—whigs derive great satisfaction from performing open-mindedness—until their statements become too relevant, at which point they’re returned to Coventry. The best kind of progressives are old, dead ones that can be bowdlerized such that their past radicalism was in fact, whiggish civility and working within norms of power.

It’s funny that by the time I myself was in high school, all those “Schools are out of control with the drugs and the violence and the rock and roll!” had mostly been reduced to parodies and satire, replaced instead with teen dramas where suddenly actors in their 20s to 30s were portraying high school teens as tortured poets and hopeless romantics.

Alito will quote a witch burner from 1635 to explain why trans ppl can be put to the question with hot tongs and splinters under fingernails.
He’ll cite Scalia citing 24 to justify torture.
Then he’ll argue than transsexuality is terrorism because existing in 3D space or communicating about trans-ness is advocacy, advocacy is protest, and protesters share collective guilt with all other protesters which means that they support terrorists.
Terrorism is, of course, whatever conservatives vibe it to be on any given Wednesday.

The defense doesn’t have to prove anything; the prosecution has to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. So you poke holes in the prosecution’s evidence and try to impeach their witnesses, then tell the jury there is too much doubt for them to convict. Sometimes it works.

Ah yes … Jack Bauer, who held many delusions but main among them was his belief that he could tell when people were lying, so under exigent circumstance he’d just have to torture x or y to find out 1 or 2… I watched that show like a fiend when I was in the clash of civilizations crowd, but even then I knew it was wrong.

Apolitical and neutral de facto mean “the status quo is axiomatically what is possible” which is why the invocation of objectivity is used to shut down critique rather than initiate the process of doing objectivity through proofing.
It’s the signifier without the signified. The process of objectiveness is constantly ongoing, is always an inquiry; the state of objectivity presented as inviolable is a canard.

Based on the excerpts I’ve seen from the portion of the book in question, the answer is a solid “Yes.” She took a 14-month old puppy with virtually no training out on a hunting trip, decided in less than a day that it was useless as a hunting dog, states she hated it after the same puppy killed another farmer’s chickens on the very same day, then admits taking pleasure in shooting it in front of a group of construction workers.
All that would in itself be disgusting and cruel, but now she’s (what else?) trying to act the victim by arguing that it was “necessary” and claiming that it’s no different from three horses they had to put down recently. IOW, she is totally trying to put on that “tough farmer” act to excuse murdering a puppy in what sounds like a fit of rage.

In a 1980s FL trial, a defendant on trial for rape claimed he was innocent because he was “too well endowed” the be able to have sex with his accuser. I don’t recall that became a defense exhibit.
Now that’s quite a…novel defense.

Regarding dog-killer Noem. It’s going to be disgusting watching all the right wing sycophants coming out to defend her and justifying why it’s totally normal for someone to kill a dog in this fashion because that’s how you do it in flyover country and you coastal elites just wouldn’t understand. The fact that we’re outraged is a sure sign that we’re weak snowflakes who shouldn’t be allowed to have any power.
It’s going to be even worse than when Romeny had to be defended over strapping a dog to the roof or whatever part of the car he strapped his family dog to.

OK: I read through that dKos piece on Kristi Noem; and a little more info came into focus.
1. Apparently, she really DOES want to paint herself as the unsentimental, “tough” ranch-country type*, thinking this will be some sort sort of positive on any putative campaign trail.
2. Noem decided to kill the dog after it attacked and killed some of a neighbors’ chickens - which she had to pay for (no excuse, IMO). That she did so by taking it “out back” and shooting it herself is, one supposes, typical for the area: it’s the bragging about it that’s the sociopathy…
3. Anyone else notice that Kristi Noem looks very much like the “Trump type” in the Marla/Melania/Alina/Kimberly/Lara mold? No wonder he’s thinking of her as a VP nod… (blecccch!)
*Kristi Noem was actually born and raised on a ranch in rural SD; still no excuse.

Sociopathy IS what’s at play here: and yeah: “puppy-killer” ought to be a prominent theme in any campaign she is involved in.
Admittedly I’m on a tear, but…
…whether or not it works I can understand what’s being attempted.
In their mythos conservatives are wielders of an expedient hardness that comes from the norms and values of yeomen farmers and pioneers. This isn’t true—before getting to the “yes, I’m throwing shit at them” portion of things, it’s just incredibly hard to actually have that kind of life in the current capital system. Farms are large operation with sophisticated logistics; hunting is a hobby not a subsistence strategy; everything is financialized such that utility is no longer measured with the same existential need for expedience as a subsistence farmer, or even a partly-financialized farm like my Mom grew up on.
Like, people in rural areas do put down animals, but that’s the in extremis option, and the end-point of putting one down is putting in an enormous effort to make that animal functional. I can see someone putting down a chicken killing dog because those chickens represent food or money…that is a thing that happens. But what stands out to me is that…again…what the fuck are you doing buying a dog with no training and letting it move freely on a farm? I’m not exactly rural-raised, but that’s a human error; you’re not good at what you’re doing or competent if you have to shoot the dog…you fucked up, there’s nothing to be proud of, it only had to be done because you didn’t do any of the intermediate responsible actions.
But conservative myths are built around an audience of mostly petit bourgeois suburbanites who spend their surpluses on simulacra of tradition, so this is a story that some of them will jibe with: they want to be hard which paradoxically makes them entirely different than the people they’re emulating.
They don’t see what past generations of rural people did as mechanically necessary, but as morally necessary, because in their heads pastoralism has qualia—wholesomeness, strength, wisdom—that they wish to adorn themselves with. They can’t understand that their choice to behave the same way renders the whole thing inauthentic, a gesture.
Which is how you get a dumbass shooting an untrained dog in an attempt to perform expedience while self-aware that she is doing so for an audience.

That is exactly what I think is the root of this story. That she bought this puppy on the belief that she had no need to train it how to act in the field, took it out expecting an easy day of hunting only to find out it was a puppy, perhaps took it to the neighbor’s farm to show off and then got embarrassed that it acted like a puppy by taking joy in killing a few chickens that she had to pay for, and decided to erase her mistake by killing the puppy off the farm while the kids were at school so she could make up whatever excuse she wanted for why the family’s new dog “ran away.”

The breed was created specifically for hunting upland fowl (like chickens!) and taking down game that was still alive. The dog was quite literally doing what she was made for. Directing Cricket and her instincts should have been going on for weeks or longer before she ever went out into the field. JFC this is like ppl who don’t understand why the Jack Russell terrier keeps trying to kill their daughter’s pet rabbit.

Someone needs to check this woman’s property. FFS, she sounds like a burgeoning serial killer.
From DKos:
She includes her story about the ill-fated Cricket, she says, to illustrate her willingness, in politics as well as in South Dakota life, to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it simply needs to be done.
By taking Cricket on a pheasant hunt with older dogs, Noem says, she hoped to calm the young dog down and begin to teach her how to behave. Unfortunately, Cricket ruined the hunt, going “out of her mind with excitement, chasing all those birds and having the time of her life”.
Noem describes calling Cricket, then using an electronic collar to attempt to bring her under control
Okay, I’m not a hunter but I know a dude that trains hunting dogs and have talked at length with him about the process. It’s a complicated and time consuming. You put a lot of effort into each pup.
This excerpt above is fucking insane. You have to train a puppy for obedience and how to retrieve long before you take it out to hunt. There’s no such thing as “teach the dog to behave” in the middle of the stimulus of an actual hunt with other people and other dogs and gunshots.
Furthremore, as an owner of several large breeds…shock collars aren’t a guaranteed way to stop an animal, particularly when it’s excited. Relying on that in a hunt is another sign of incompetence.
And, if anything, the bit about the ram just demonstrates this person is Marie Antoinette: uncastrated rams are very dangerous animals and I’ve never encountered a goat herd—and I mean this on a global scale—who kept a ram out and roaming without taking a lot of precautions.
Noem is demonstrating the gulf between the imagined rural-ness of conservatives, which is all about the self…how independent you are, how determined you are, a bower-bird lair of adjectives…and actual survival in rural areas in which how you survive is to get humble and do things carefully.

Ayep. Surrendering the puppy to Animal Control (it was a “danger” to her family) or finding it a home with another family would be an admission that she fucked up, that she didn’t know what the fuck she was doing and had bought something she didn’t know how to control. But she’s a “tough frontier-type” woman, she doesn’t make mistakes, she shoots and buries them so she can make up whatever excuse she likes later.

I stood there in grim silence waiting for the berating, which of course never came. He said okay, kid. A gentleman to a feral kid
On animal killing, frontier style. I am enraged and outraged by Governor Noem’s actions. Even assuming she treats animals like a commodity rather than family like I do, First for unnecessary killing of something with a name and an impulsive killing of an animal-half finished. Using a gun like that should be a last resort in an emergency that is rare —like a mercy killing for an injured animal—even on the “frontier”. And I know she wasn’t far from a veterinarian they have them even in yokelsville Grossness that should lead to impeachment on moral character grounds but will likely lead to TV conservative stardom.

It doesn’t sound like the dog was really a danger to the family. She got bit because she hadn’t fucking trained the dog, and Cricket was intent on killing the birds she was specifically bred to go kill and didn’t understand why she was being punished.

We’re now on the verge of creating a literal official cadre of thought police:
A pro-Israel House Democrat and Republican plan to introduce legislation creating federally sanctioned “antisemitism monitors” for select college campuses.
Why it matters: It’s the first bill introduced in Congress as a direct response to the pro-Palestinian protests that have rocked Columbia University and other colleges in recent days.
Driving the news: Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) are introducing the College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability Act - or COLUMBIA Act.
The bill would allow the Department of Education to send a “third-party antisemitism monitor” to any college that receives federal funding — and to revoke that funding for colleges that don’t comply.
The monitor, paid for by the school, would be charged with releasing a public, quarterly report evaluating “the progress that a college or university has made toward combating antisemitism.”
That’ll kill her career as fast as trophy-hunting elephants or shooting wolves from a helicopter

re: #135 Scottish Dragon
My insurance rep raises hunting dogs for sale, and also trains dogs to be companion animals for the disabled. A big part of the process is not overstimulating the young animal so that retrieving doesn’t become play, but instead is a clean behavioral loop in which the animal understands, in a Skinnerian fashion, that all the steps of the retrieval are required to receive a reward.

JERUSALEM, April 26 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that any decisions by the International Criminal Court, which is investigating Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks and Israel’s military assault on Gaza, would not affect Israel’s actions but would set a dangerous precedent.
“Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the International Criminal Court in the Hague to undermine its basic right to defend itself,” Netanyahu said in a statement on Telegram.
“While decisions made by the court in the Hague will not affect Israel’s actions, they will set a dangerous precedent that threatens soldiers and public figures,” he said.
One of Israel’s leading television news outlets, Channel 12, reported last week that Israel was increasingly worried by the possibility that the ICC would issue arrest warrants against Netanyahu and other top officials for alleged violations of international law in Gaza.

Biden wants to be re-elected without doing the hard work of giving interviews. But no one deserves an important job that they didn’t have to work for.
by A. G. Sulzberger
Remember wacky unbelievable stuff I said here that Trump would get directly involved with dictating the Fed?
Me being wacky. Good times.
I also said he would dictate Ford and GM to produce a full size gasoline engine powered truck for $25k out the door mandating no dealer markups. One that would have no touchscreen and all physical buttons and switches. I hope to never see if this reality comes true. Trump will want his own Volkswagen and any legal barriers preventing any authoritarian decisions upon any businesses will be crashed through with impunity by this SCOTUS.
It has been my clear imperative that Biden go full leftist populist to engage the white male complaints concerning these sort of water cooler and online forum issues before Trump simply takes false ownership of them.
Of course any Trump efforts to alleviate any common man’s concerns would be only for short term optics and quickly these things would vanish from reality as white male superiority and power is cemented in society in exchange for these actual white male totems. And let’s not even get started on Trump packing the Court to 15 members.
There are so *many* reasons why cracking down on student protesters is a terrible idea, but my favorite is probably just that old people getting into endurance contests with young people is never not funny.
Seriously, you’re gonna be sitting there doubled over gasping for breath while they laugh.

I agree it was a shoddy thing to do.

Expect a storm of righteous indignation over the idea that calling the police could endanger safety, since so many people still believe that the presence of police makes it less likely for crime to occur. In fact, the opposite is true; crime is much more likely to occur when cops are on the scene… because the cops are the ones who are most often perpetrating it.

That’s fairly common for database optimization jobs. Depending on how fast degradation occurs, you may even want to make it a nightly job, in the off hours when most of us are asleep.

We go out to comedy shows a lot, but there are a ton of bad comics out there. We saw Gary Gullman last month, he was amazing, we had tickets to Maria Bamford, but it got postponed. We saw Jeff Ross, Mark Maron, Emo Phillips, Pete Holmes, Dave Atell, and we got to see the late, great and sorely missed Gilbert Gottfried twice, and got to meet him afterwards, such a nice guy.
“If masta-bation was a crime, I’d be on Death Row!” was my favorite one-liner of his.

To be fair, as someone who has several decent and upstanding (now all retired) policemen as relatives, it took me a long time to finally get to the “all cops are bad” conclusion, myself. It’s something you don’t want to believe is true, and then when it finally sinks in, it just keeps getting more and more awful as the realization of all the shit you’ve overlooked starts piling up.
re: #219 Nerdy Fish
My wife’s uncle (now deceased) was a beat cop in DC. She stil fails to grasp my ACAB ravings. So, I tend not to around her, mostly.
Since Mrs Cranky is out of town dealing with her mom’s estate, I ordered food from the local pizza place.
I included a tip in the order. Usually, I give the tip in cash to ensure the delivery person gets the cash. But these days, if no tip is included delays the delivery.
I wish I could reward the delivery drivers more, since anyone delivering pizza from a local joint obviously needs money.
The kicker? I live 3 blocks away from the pizza joint. Picking up would be trivial. But I’m willing to pay extra to be lazy.
Got into it with an ass defending a quiver-full twit that I was talking to whom I had I had said I thought she was a fool for having 9 kids starting at 28.
I said I was glad I turned out to be infertile and adopted instead.

I’m like “Excellent reading comprehension dude. My son was ADOPTED from Vietnam 22 years ago.”

Make the minimum tip to the store and then a little more to the driver.

You could also write in the delivery notes (most apps have a section that goes straight to the driver) that the tip will be paid in cash on arrival.

That is the part that I believe it turning so many stomachs. She killed a 14-month old puppy in what appears as a fit of pique would be something most of us would hide, an embarrassing moment that we kept quiet out of worry about what others would think of someone who could be so needlessly cruel.
Then again, remember that we’re talking about a party that idolized Sarah Palin for (among other things) taking pride in shooting wolves from a helicopter. Or Joni Ernst boasting about castratin’ hogs on the farm.
It’s clear as hell to me why she is bragging about this — it’s her elevator pitch for being Trump’s VP pick. One psychopath calling out to another.

Now would be a good time for President Biden to float the idea of expanding the supreme court.

You could also write in the delivery notes (most apps have a section that goes straight to the driver) that the tip will be paid in cash on arrival.
Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.
I’m happy to tip folks that are obviously struggling and taking low paying jobs to survive. Sadly, because a lot of businesses cheat their employees, I usually pay tips in cash. However, since learning that a lot of delivery orders are delayed if no tip is included, I’ve started inducing the tips in the orders.
Great suggestion and I’ll keep that in mind.
re: #232 darthstar
Now would be a good time for President Biden to float the idea of expanding the supreme court.
It’s occurring to me that the reason the Calvinball Court has basically leapt off the rails in recent years is because they, like the elected Republicans with whom they effectively caucus, realize that their window of power is closing. Whether Biden makes noises about expanding the court or not, Alito and Thomas aren’t getting any younger. I know they will literally die on the bench, and I don’t expect that to happen any time soon, so there’s still quite a bit of time in an absolute sense for them to do damage; but they’re aware that the tides of change are against them, and the end of their reign is inevitable. But they have to do everything they can to limit progress and enforce their regressionist agenda while they can, because the instant they’re gone, so too is all their garbage.
There have been more pics of unarmored trucks with cope cages around them popping up online. Russia’s actual stockpile of armored vehicles may be lower than we thought.

If she seemed as grounded as a parent as you, I’d have not been anywhere near as concerned by it, VB. But she’s not a good mom from what little I’ve seen and I really expect the older kids to be doing 90% of the raising of the littlest kids and that reminds me too much of other double plus un-good places and times.
