ZARDOZ IS SICK OF GRAIN AT THIS POINT. THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE BRUTALS’ TASKS. THE BRUTALS WILL NOW BE PUT TO WORK BRINGING POTATOES. ZARDOZ HAS A HANKERING FOR FRENCH FRIES.
TO SHOW THE BRUTALS THAT ARTHUR ZARDOZ MEANS BUSINESS, ZED HAS HAND-CARRIED LINKS TO WORDPRESS.
THE GIFT OF THE GUN HAS UNFORTUNATE CONSEQUENCES. EVERYONE LIVED. NEXT TIME, MANY SHOULD DIE.
MORE BAD NEWS. EVERYONE LIVED. ZED IS PARTICULARLY AMUSED BY THE DELICATE PHRASE “SMOKING MATERIALS.”
EVEN MORE BAD NEWS. EVERYONE LIVED. WHAT GOOD IS THE GIFT OF THE GUN IF COPS WON’T EVEN USE IT TO CLEANSE?
FINALLY GOOD NEWS. CLEANSING WITH FIRE TAKES AT LEAST ONE BRUTAL. AND IT IS CALIFORNIA, WHICH BADLY NEEDS CLEANSING.
NOW BACK TO WORK! ZARDOZ WANTS FRENCH FRIES!

Shyam Patel, 22, decided to test the limits of the First Amendment by flipping off a pair of hero NYPD officers in the middle of Times Square
“Hero NYPD”?
Heroes don’t need words in musty law books to know what the law is!
a) You can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride.
b) FYTW
c) sovereign immunity by king’s men
d) all of the above
In my opinion the 1st Amendment doesn’t cover flipping off our heroes in blue. Something really needs to be done about it, maybe some common sense speech control.
A fistful of broken fingers, maybe?
It’s not just your opinion. As the article states implies, there is plenty of published case law including a Supreme Court case that says cursing at cop is protected First Amendment speech. This one isn’t even close.
e) I identify as a LEO
I’d like to see YOU drive around with a candle in your car.
PS. Mr. Patel seems like an asshole. CLEANSING FOR ALL?
It seems to me you lived your life like a candle in your car.
Good on them for not retreating to a safe location and calling the bomb squad, wasting everyones time and tax payer dollars but still……that’s a pretty low bar for ‘hero.’
Risking your life to save others is a low bar to being labeled a hero ?
Did they know it wasnt a real bomb when they dod that ?
I understand jumping on a grenade for a buddy. But driving a bomb someone threw in your car?
How long til it goes boom?
Why was it better to drive it away?
An area of less dense population would seem to me to be the only reason.
‘Risk being the key word…..there never was an actual risk. Their actions if they thought it was a real bomb are certainly commendable but I draw the ‘hero’ line at actual rather than perceived danger.
If they thought it real, wouldn’t the smart thing be
get out of car, clear area?
rolling shrapnel makes no sense.
I don’t know enough about the situation the armchair quarterback it. I’ll even take it as a given that they did the right thing with the best intentions. Still doesn’t excuse NYP engaging in hero worship for people doing their job in what turned out to be a nothingburger.
Also OneOut, lets not forget these are the same two assholes who arrested someone for giving them the finger……regardless of their past actions they don’t seem to be too concerned about civil rights.
assholes =true
cynical sob = me
haha I just spent a few moments contemplating how one sobs cynically 😛
I agree with that.
My thought was that they drove the preceived bomb away from a more populated area to one less dense.
Yeah, they should have have opened it up to see what’s inside or listened for ticking. Better yet, they should have just thrown it right back out. (Sarcasm)
What is up with this massive outbreak of survival? TOO MANY BRUTALS … earlier today I had to wait in a LINE.
“We have roughly about 500 firefighters assigned, and we have more coming in today, including an incident management team,” says Lee Beyer, a public information officer with the U.S. Forest Service. He says that as of Saturday morning, the fire seems to be moving away from homes and other structures.
Without government who would fight fires?
Private firefighters. Except if you don’t pay them, they torch your building.
Note: property insurance was originally called “Fire Insurance”. Insurers were key in organizing many early fire brigades.
Impossible. The way I hear it, the only way fires are ever put out is if the firefighters first go around beating money out of neighbors. Or, you know, assessing property taxes.
So was Ben Franklin.
Nobody and we would let them burn like they always did forever before we made governments and then have healthy forests?
“According to a report from the U.S. Fire Administration, between 2014 and 2016, smoking-related fires accounted for 12.7 percent of fatal fires from December to March, rising by almost 3 percent from June to September to 15.6 percent.
According to the report, while not as prominent as it once was, “smoking has been a leading cause of residential fatal fires since the inception of the (National Fire Incident Reporting System).”
Smoking was also the first or second cause in all reported human factors contributing to the ignition of fatal fires in residential building (where a contributing human factor was specified) between 2014 and 2016, according to the report.”
Another good reason to vape.
The government continues to pretend that vaping is exactly dangerous as smoking – I wouldn’t be surprised to see a “vaping causes fires” PSA in the near future.
I am about to see yellow submarine at the theater. It’s the first time it’s played in the theaters since the last time they re-released it.
I really enjoy the Beatles but their movies are hard to watch.
speaking of potatoes, how Shade tolerant are most potato species? I have a happy shaded spot in the backyard that would be great if potatoes can handle the shade.
This is probably a generalization, but I’ve heard that if you’re growing something for the leaves or the roots, it will do better in the shade.
well, they are in the night-SHADE family…..oh, nevermind.
I got nuthin.
Why do you want to insult your tomatoes?
http://www.businessinsider.com/where-the-expression-throw-shade-comes-from-2015-3
Depends, are they mostly getting morning or afternoon sun? Is there frequent rain? Or not enough ventilation? Nightshades tend to get sick if they stay wet.
You know who else gets sick from being wet all the time?
SEA SMITH?
The answer I was hoping for was ‘Stormy Daniels’
It’d be mottled sun throughout the day. There’s a tree canopy to the east, south, and north, and an imposing oak to the west. Frequent enough rain to keep them alive, but the plot is sloped quite significantly, precluding standing water.
I’m tempted to try a fall crop of potatoes to see how they like the area. I loved the potatoes I grew back in TX.
The plot in question
Looks pretty shady, but fuckit, why not give it a go?
You know who else was shady?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yhyp-_hX2s
Looks rather marginal. Try it anyway, that’s the fun of gardening.
That’s a pretty yard.
/literal tree hugger
Unlike tomatoes, people rarely prune potatoes (unless they are trying to make storage potatoes, which is an entirely different subject). Or heirloom tomatoes with “potato leaves” (although most of those are slow growing and require full sun in the first place). Regardless, if the leaves aren’t drying off enough after morning dew and rainy nights, and there are discolored leaves, I would try pruning the lowest branches to get more airflow under the plants. Also, a raised bed has numerous advantages, including better disease prevention.
If there is one thing we can count on this guy to know about, it’s this.
Well, I forgot to add that he should try spacing them farther apart.
Like most vegetables potatoes do best in full sun but will manage on 6-8 hours of sunlight. They are a cool weather crop, like moderate climate, do well in the cooler northern states, Maine, Idaho, Minnesota. Lots of internet info on gardening.
Typically, potatoes like full sun. But give it a shot. When you’re plants reach 12”, mound them with dirt so only six inches show. Do that a couple of times and your yield will go up quite a bit.
Where is Q? Has anyone seen Q? That’s right. Vacation, that guy. So you want to see some boobs? These are best boobs. The best. So you want to see them? You want to see them. These are literally the First Boobs. I mean that. Huge. And I would know. Right? You better believe it. I know. I know many things. Great things.

Hey asshole….those are from your MAGAZINE. 18 years ago.
Nice tho.
Yup
I’m not a fan of implants, but I think this is a case where I’d make an exception.
I am not a fan of implants either but sometimes good looks is good looks. I am not sure as far as first ladies go implants would help the Wookie much.

“The cost of open borders: Spain”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZOmQLGUqcQ
Maybe the clergy should start asking questions in an unexpected way?
So, anything else than Sakoku/Haijin, et al. is “open borders”?
Sounds legit.
I’m pretty sure Spaniards are free to travel.
As free as we are, which is to say not at all.
Believe it or not, there was a time in America when citizens could enter or depart the country without a passport except during wartime, and indeed, it had to take an Act of Congress to establish it. It was only in 1978 that, for citizens, exit or entry into the country without an issued passport was made illegal. But if you told people that for the majority of the country’s history, people could come and go as they pleased, they would look at you like you had 5 heads.
I dont know about limiting yourself to ‘cooler climates’ for potatoes. Granny knew how to dig taters in Beverly Hills.
Ive spent the last 30 mins watching Clampett videos.
Thanks.
Seriously.
I have returned home, having survived bourbon, breweries, the Louisville Slugger museum, the girlfriend getting a mild case of heat exhaustion, fucking Indianapolis hipsters, meeting a muppet-Canadian, and Nashville hot chicken. What have I missed? Is food now available in pill form? Are pills available in food form? The only thing that came through my news feed that I even looked at was that the FBI apparently “caught” a terrorist in Cleveland while I was gone.
“fucking Indianapolis hipsters“
STEVE SMITH SAY TAKE IT EASY
There were people who appeared to be fully grown riding foot starting electric scooters in public. There was a brewery selling an “8 oz pint”, and a 16 ounce take away glass bottle. There was an asshole cyclist who almost hit the girlfriend on his bike who passed (a shared path) with no notice wearing a straw hat with a feather.
Well in that case ZARDOZ would say cleanse everyone and let the tabernacle sort them out
I hear Indy is doing pretty well economically. Therefore, hipsters.
There’s a couple of areas that have gentrified a lot since the last time I was there (~5-6 years ago). But I think some of the gentrification isn’t going to stick. There was an area with three chain breweries: The RAM, Granite City, and Rock Bottom. Of the three, only one had people in the two times I walked by (Rock Bottom, which does track as the best of those three chains from my experience), but the other two had less then a dozen people in them Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
There is a part of me that’s contemplating checking with my niece and seeing if she thinks the kick scooters would be used in the couple of hipster areas in Cleveland. If there’s a chance to turn a quick profit off of people, I may have to take it.
If there are bike shops, they’re probably already selling them. I think I saw one or two tooling down Superior of all places when I was there.
These weren’t owned, they were rentals. Some basic research shows two companies getting involved in this rental market in some urban areas. They’re looking for areas which are “underserved” by public transit, but have a bar density that’s a bit more then most people want to walk, but close enough that they don’t want to drive/Lyft/Uber to the next destination.
Huh. That’s specific 🙂
I know some places are less busy during the summer – then business picks up more when university is back to normal classes – definitely in Cville at least.
I had to give my cat a cocktail of medicines once – food form would have been a nice improvement over the long battles with her to get the pills down and cleaning the blood off my arms afterwards.
DId you have dinner at the restaurant at the top of the Louisville Slugger museum? “Top o’ the Bat”?
Or drink in the bar at the bottom…..”Corky’s” ?
No, but I did manage to find a relative’s name on the wall of contracted players. It was interesting that Against the Grain brewing’s primary location is part of a ballpark.
A bunch of folks went out for Thai or something and ended up getting chased into caves by rabid divers, or something, I don’t know, but people seem super upset about it.
the girlfriend getting a mild case of heat exhaustion
Sorry. It sounds like the trip was otherwise good.
It was. I blame the 100+ F and 70%+ humidity (and her not drinking enough water). This week and next I’m going to be hounding her about water a lot to make sure there’s no residual issues, and to try to get her into the habit of drinking enough water.
We ate terrible food, saw several museums, drove around the country, and stopped at a place Charles Phoenix would call a National Treasure!
“Lawmaker plans do-over after all-white Arch photo at dedication
ST LOUIS, Mo. – A state lawmaker is planning a do-over after a ribbon-cutting photo from the revitalized Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis included only white people.
Democratic Rep. Bruce Franks Jr., who is black, said Thursday on Facebook Live that the image wasn’t reflective of the city he represents. The photo sparked a backlash online.
The park was dedicated Tuesday, the culmination of a five-year, $380 million renovation. Included in the ribbon-cutting were Gov. Mike Parson and U.S. Senators Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt.
The Gateway Arch Park Foundation apologized Wednesday for the lack of diversity. A foundation spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a question of whether black leaders were invited.
Franks’ do-over is scheduled for noon Friday. St. Louis is nearly 48 percent black.”
https://fox2now.com/2018/07/05/lawmaker-plans-do-over-after-all-white-arch-photo-at-dedication/
You know who else wanted a do over after all the blacks left?
Crayola ?
Your mother?…
Dang, that’s cold-blooded . . . Oh, never mind.
Yeah. I thought we saved that for Winston.
Yep, his mother too
The Australian rugby team?
In all fairness, the ribbon-cutting was done at 7 am…..
hey-OHHHH!
Oh my.

Day two of performing chores that make me wonder about the wisdom of owning a home.
Yesterday, you may remember, was Replacing the Garbage Disposal.
Today it was Cleaning out the Rain Gutters.
They hadn’t been cleaned since before we moved here two years ago.
On the sunny side the detritus was nicely composting into quality top soil complete with a variety of plant growth – our garden should be doing so well.
We’ve been having a bit of rain and on the shadey side it was more like vernal pool. I would not have been surprised to find minnows or tadpoles. I’m no hydraulic engineer, but shouldn’t the downspout be on the lower end of the gutter, not the higher end?
Went through a few pairs of periwinkle TSA-brand gloves getting it all cleared out.
Clearly, you need some orphans for your household repairs.
I’ve had great results using a pressure washer to clean the gutters. It’s messy as all get out but, hey, you’ve already got the pressure washer out so you may as well give the house a quick pass. Oh, well yeah, it will do a bang-up job on the driveway/deck/porch/etc. AND you do already have it in hand so… Full disclosure – I LOVE using a pressure washer!; I find it very relaxing.
Today it was Cleaning out the Rain Gutters.
I’ve given up on cleaning the only gutter on my house, the one over the back deck.
I need some for the rest of the house as I’ve discovered some problems with water coming off the roof. I’m talking to contractors about gutters. The one I intend to hire will install gutter guards. Judging by the design of the guards and the material, I expect to spend less time on a ladder maintaining gutters.
Gutter guards are great.
This ^^
It is better to have no gutters, just rain diverters over points of entry and ac units.
The reason being is that gutters pour all the runoff to centralized locations.
During periods of no rain the soil under the foundatiob dries out. After a rain dofferent soils under the foundation absorb and retain water at different rates resulting in torque to your slab foundation leading to cracks.
This applies to concrete slab foundations only of course.
No slab foundation here, full basement.
The ground slopes down in front of my house, so it’s easy to get water as long as I can get it to the slope.
At some point, I might add rain barrels.
Which brutals were the Russkies actually targeting this time?
Somehow it will be Trump’s fault.
Or Indianas
*sigh*
Is CNN already running a clock counting up the minutes until Trump (finally!) issues the all-important Strongly Worded Condemnation?
Jesus Christ. If these two don’t have a connection to foreign intelligence or something of value to the Russians then what is their excuse?
I’m guessing a misdelivered package or something similar. They don’t seem exactly spy-like.
Makes me wonder how many other “surprises” are floating about in the UK…
That’s just it. Nothing indicates these two anything other than average British Joes. So is Russian intelligence suddenly incompetent or has some of their nerve agent gotten loose? Neither is good for anyone.
Didn’t their last* attack hit some bystanders, too?
*alleged
I thought they got their intended target (Russian spy-turned Brit spy) but also got his daughter and a policeman first responder. All three recovered eventually.
I see the Maxwell Smart of Russian spies feeling in his pockets and saying, “where did I put that?”
Either that or they had something on the Clinton’s.
Also, good to see you back in the saddle HS. (Not a euphemism for sex.)
Thanks, it’s nice to be one step closer to normalcy. We moved everything in to the new house but it’s all in boxes. Staying at the hotel another day or two.
Fantastic. I’m often in court in San Diego. When life is normal we could plan a meetup of SoCal glibs.
This is good to hear.
So, I frequently think that I’d rather just pay people to rip the top off our house, add another floor, and wait for the neighbors to die so we can buy their lot and add it to ours rather than deal with getting the house ready for potential buyers to walk through, never mind packing it up and moving elsewhere. Well done.
*nods in solidarity*
Your mother told me this was her favorite finger when me and my friends banged her.
It disgusts me that this isn’t a slam-dunk 9-0 against the cops, with extreme prejudice.
I’ve got a lot of questions about this. For one, this guy’s a regular? And it seems like a reasonable idea for him to go sucker-punch a woman who works at this place where he’s a known customer? And he thinks he’ll be able to do this with complete impunity? I used to work at an Irish bar where there were a few regulars who pretty much took it upon themselves to act as bouncers. Maybe half the wait staff were young women, and drunk or not nobody would even consider putting a hand on them because Sean, the Irish Boomhauer who used his forehead as a sledgehammer and worked as a “framing carpenter” for cash under the table, would throw them through the wall.
How do you determine which guns are assault weapons and which aren’t?
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/Every-gun-is-an-assault-weapon-Opinion-13038889.php
Trick question, they all are.
Which ones have the scary-looking thing that goes up?
How handy that we have a shorthand phrase already for “I’ll kill any motherfucker tries to to take my guns.”
*lights the Suthen signal*
Is it this?
I have another version called, “Guns? What guns? I don’t see any guns? Do you? Want me to make a pot of coffee while you go get that warrant?”
I’m not sure we can fight this
Yeah, keep politicizing everything. People love that.
That’s a sick Doctor Who scarf.
Tom Baker would be pleased.
#metoo
Nothing is better than my lefty friends and family inserting their politics into even sweet family Facebook posts. It really brings me around to their way of thinking. I’m not at all tempted to bring down my shotgun (unloaded) at Thanksgiving and just lay it across my lap. Nope. Not at all. The thought never crossed my mind.
Stupid adblocker crap.
That is hysterical. She thinks she is making a difference.
Thank you Houston Chronicle for confirming my suspicions that journalists learned everything they know about firearms from Supersoakers.
I wonder if this guy would take a look at a Ruger Mini-14 Ranch and think, “Well, that’s probably alright. I mean, look at the stock. Plus, it’s wooden.”
Nah, his premise in the article is “All guns are bad.” I just find it funny that left wing journo’s always conflate rate of fire, caliber and ballistics into the word “Powerful”………basically they think of bullets exiting the barrel of a rifle as water through a hose.
I still have a hard time understanding the “ban guns because they scare me” attitude. If I found out that there was some martial art that let people who studied it beat the crap out of everyone they saw, my first instinct would be, “I better learn that shit in case I run into someone else who knows it.” Like, the premise behind gun bans is that legislation creates laws that are like laws of physics, so banning guns mean there aren’t any more guns. But that’s demonstrably false, and while they’re more difficult to acquire, the people who acquire them tend to be the people you least want to have them.
It’s a great example of how most people are a mile wide and an inch deep on most issues; ‘X has hurt people, I don’t particularly like X, therefore we should ban X.’ They never think of the second or third order effects, just what makes them feel good in the moment. And as you say, they seem to have no awareness that banning guns will by no means make them cease to exist.
It’s also interesting that the byline claims the author has “…been researching and writing about gun violence for more than a decade.“. The very groups he mentions spent the 1960s – 1980s working ceaselessly to ban handguns, while claiming to never want to go after long-arms because
hunting/flag/traditionthe public had a greater familiarity with them and would never cotton to such silliness.I can’t remember when “Town Halls” first became a thing. It wasn’t really that long ago. I think it was in the 1990s. And i think they actually started as legit, ‘union hall’ type meetings where pols would have extemporaneous engagement w/ proles.
I think what they are now are 100% ‘staged theatrics’.
where the candidate/pol basically seeds the crowd w/ mini-groups of constituents (black, white, young, old, military, crippled), and each ask some pre-screened softball question like, “Why is Trump so hitler” and “The economy isn’t as good as people say” and “I feel like you really listen” and “its horrible how they call you an indian”, so the press can get lots of “concerned face”-listening shots from the politician, because that shows they care and connect with Real People(tm).
i don’t think this is super-cynical of me, i think its just a growing maturity and realization that much of what passes for politics and news-reporting is repetition of tested and approved formulas.
From her? Absolutely staged.
” i think its just a growing maturity and realization that much of what passes for politics and news-reporting is repetition of tested and approved formulas”
Or what most children in the um, uh, not-so-developed world realize if they live to double-digits. Nations where people don’t assume that everything is complete bullshit are a tiny minority.
Here is a longish but interesting article about Lagos where that point shines through in several places.
Lagos has an AMAZING film industry. There is essentially no IP protection whatsoever so a producer has about two weeks to make as much as they can from a film before it is dupped all over the continent. They make it up in volume – very low budget, shoot-&-scoot location work, minimal post-processing, heavy reliance on a couple dozen trite story narratives and they crank out new works every few weeks or so.
Yeah, “Nollywood” is mentioned a couple times.
And Lagos is Toronto compared to Managua and San Salvador.
Thanks, i’ll read that, it looks interesting.
Not really a Town Hall, more like a Pow Wow.
(one man stands and applauds vigorously, slowly joined by entire crowd, building to a collective “huzzah”)
Interesting article about why at least some blacks don’t call out the race baiters on their bullshit .

I love Quillette, but they need an editor.

If they actually feared whitey they wouldn’t scream racism. People in fear don’t harass people they are fearful of. That’s just rationalization.
They don’t criticize it because it’s advantageous to them to keep it up. Pretty simple explanation.

“We deserve a lot more pay, and don’t let the ‘bots take our jobs away!”
Linda Hunt, a 57-year-old food server at El Cortez Hotel & Casino downtown, said she was worried about the technology.
“We want to make sure we’re not lost to the robots,” Hunt said. “We want to make sure that they don’t just show up next week — that we have some time to adjust and train for new jobs over the next five years.”
When you have 57 years to do something and think another five will make all the difference…
Today in “shit progressives say”, a friend of mine who fashions himself a leader of the #resistance, on Chicago’s gun laws
If that was remotely true, why does Indiana have a lower gun violence rate than Chicago? I mean, it’s just the availability of guns that does it, right?
If we make it uniform, then places like Chicago will have their votes counted
#MakeDeadVotersCountAgain
That’s such an ugly thing to say I can’t even. No offense, but your friend’s brain seems to be broken.
Ah yes, those evil morticians and their profit motives.
I have to say, that’s a first I never thought I’d see. Going after morticians…that’s pretty desperate.
Illinois just needs to make it illegal to go to Indiana, right?

Gee, I wonder why.
“Part of this is an overt play to bend public opinion, to besmirch whatever conclusions the investigation might reach and to ward off any attempt at a possible impeachment.“
If it’s inevitable, Drumpf, sit back enjoy it. Also, I thought only Hannity and Southern preachers used the term “besmirch”.
Decent day today. Got over OMWC’s fucked up morning links. Edged and mowed the lawn, got drunk with the neighbors in the afternoon, fired up some street tacos for dinner topped with coleslaw with ingredients fresh from the garden, and am now sitting on the patio with a nice glass of rye and an Oliva V robusto. Ahhh.
There you go, flaunting your good life choices again.
Christ, what an asshole.
There is a bit of luck involved.
Mucho gracias.
We may have a different understanding of “street taco”.
Hm. Here, “street food” ranges from fly-by-night gristle grills to outposts of good restaurants. My rule of thumb is if the menu has more than five or six options – avoid.
Murican street tacos. Grilled pork steak with brown man seasoning, guacamole, sharp cheddar and the slaw.

his point being, if conservatives are being honest when they describe abortion in those terms, why would they advocate ‘federalism’, rather than an outright ban?
*i also think he’s anti-abortion, but i’m not sure. Malice is an odd one, being one of those 100% anarchists who sometimes insists on weird arguments,… which, while they might add up in some parlor-vacuum of logic, don’t necessarily make much sense in terms of political philosophy.
