And so many other assholes as well.

I got that back when it came out and always wondered why folks treated it like alternative pop. It's seems like a dark mirror on rape to me.

Don't let the door hit you

Be my guest. I had the same thought but can't put the joke together.

How about: My son came home from a birthday party with lice yesterday. I hate to nitpick, but it was a lousy party.

+1 for Ground News. I recently found it and am enjoying using it.

I just had a realization based on your comment; Their boots are dirty because they are walking through a world of shit. That is a core tenant of Christianity. They get to cop out on trying to make anything better by just saying "oh well, the world is shitty, get believers to make god daddy happy and then die." That lines up with Trump's thematic message of America being some over run, crime infested wasteland. It is the hook by which Trump catches the Christians.

What's next? You going to tell me Alta Vista doesn't do search anymore?

No, learning sandwiches canals into indifference chismo. Instead pirouette inside astro turf. Realizing really way, like she said.

I blame religion.

I think the answer as consumers, is to turn that shit off and go elsewhere at that point.

I hate allowing an Xitter (pronounced shitter, btw, fuck elon) but I did an allow once for this one because I was impatient. That footage is wild. I dunno who's paying attention but drones are the new scary. I assume the drone that took the video exploded moments later, killing Sinwar. That seems at least likely.

In Ukraine and in Israel drones are dominating the battlefield. Its unnerving. The tech will get smaller and better. How can you even defend against it as a person hiding, much less walking around in daily life?

To the implications of the event though. Yahya Sinwar is dead now. Netanhyahu is in a pickle. Harris and Biden are pressing him. Here is his off ramp. I wish he would take it but I think I know better.

Another gardening lesson in not giving up: The progression of pictures here are 3 of the same plant, a Trepadeira Werner pepper, taken over the course of this year.

1st pic: I grew them from seed indoors and a few days after putting them out in early April, I found the local deer had visited and eaten the plant down to the stem. I considered it a loss but didn't deal with it or pull the plant up. I just walked away, then went out of town for a bit the next day.

2nd Pic: When I came back into town it had new leaves so I figured I'd let it try again for kicks. It had fallen over under its weight so I staked it up. I did try a few things to keep the deer away, I think with moderate success.

3rd Pic is from last week. I see some evidence of deer nibbling but I believe the heat of the pepper may be keeping them away from it now. I'm still blown away remembering this thing when it was eaten to the stem.
