Thursday Stuff


I should warn you that Francis Maxwell really goes off in this highly NSFW (but appropriate) commentary on the recent shooting in Minnesota, and he’s about 150 percent correct; he feels the way I did after Sandy Hook, and one of my most vivid memories from that awful carnage was Obama trying not to break down during the SOTU shortly afterwards, while that death eater Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao smirked over denying another “victory” to #44 and scowled when that was pointed out to the Senate “leader”...so much that we need to do in response that I and many, many other people have already mentioned, and Maxwell does that also here...



Update: And along comes "Bobby Brainworms" with his take right out of Gonzo land (here).

...and this clip from The Majority Report features Emma V. discussing Yambo killing a wind farm project to power 350K homes in Rhode Island...and the fact that the project is about 80 percent complete is the cherry on the icing of this sh*t sundae as far as yours truly is concerned (and I share Matt Lech’s comment about this being a “layup” for the Dems, but I have a feeling they’ll “put up a brick” anyway, to overwork the basketball metaphor...love to be wrong)...to be fair, I need to temper my indignation here by recalling Ted Kennedy’s opposition to Cape Wind off Martha’s Vineyard for his own reasons also; yes, wind projects have their own environmental impact, but it’s waay worse for other forms of energy...that being said, Lee Zeldin’s claim that windmill imports could be a national security threat is particularly ridiculous even for this regime of frauds and lowlifes...glad Emma mentions projects started from Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act and how we’re behind on power, particularly given these AI data centers that are springing up, with one of these places consuming enough energy for 100K households according to the Guardian (Emma really connects the dots form about 6:10 to 6:18)...good point about wind turbines working in adverse weather conditions, such as those in Texas where all of those people froze to death...after watching this clip, I think “pipeline” should be Zeldin’s middle name...interesting chip-related discussion at the end about how behind Intel is versus NVIDIA (NSFW/H also)...



...and sticking with environmental matters, this segment from More Perfect Union tells us about national park rangers and other park workers trying to unionize...I honestly don’t expect the cretins in charge of our government to have the remotest clue as to what workers in our national parks do or what they have to manage or how they care for a legacy that we need to hand down to future generations (not excusing the negligence of our “leaders”), but at least this clip gives us a hint as to what the people doing this noble work are going through under the ruinous reign of Bronzer Beelzebub and his minions...



...and Jesse Dollemore brings us the story of Missouri farmer Fred Higginbotham going off at his U.S. House Rep Mark Alford over Cantaloupe Capone...as Jesse says, this is EXACTLY the energy that EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN DEMOCRAT should be putting out there (and by the way, Jesse, you be you...BTC and Pakman are great, but you’re doing fine as far as I’m concerned)...



...and The Good Liars present more interviews with folks discussing flag desecration, with those people interviewed showing a rather astonishing lack of self-awareness; part of this makes me laugh, part of this makes me cringe, part of me makes me shake my head and walk away...



...and happy upcoming 80th birthday to Chris Copping of Procol Harum.
