It would have been smarter to do this before he invaded Ukraine. That way, the rest of the world wouldn't know how inept his military is and how bad his equipment is. He might have generated actual fear. Today, all he's doing is getting people outside Russia to laugh at him. It's a real "old ma...

Laura Loomer is making an even more humiliating, pathetic and unhinged bid to attract attention than usual: https://www.rawstory.com/laura-loomer-2667036962/ Laura Loomer accuses magazine of using 1950s stock photo to push for Trump assassination Loomer says that a recent Atlantic article about the ...

“Now, following our second-place finish in Iowa, we’ve prayed and deliberated on the way forward," he said. But...but...but... I thought he prayed before announcing he was throwing his hat in the ring and God told him he would be the next president for sure. So now God is telling him that he's...

I love sculpture made from Corten. It is the only kind of metal that seems to have warmth and character, like wood.

Hark! Is that the clattering of a quartet of gentlemen from one of England's northern counties settling into our forum?

How many of us learned how to use a slide rule in high school? I just missed that era, though I did know how to use a slide rule. I still have some old ones my dad used in college (Caltech, class of 1954) and some specialized ones from aerospace for weight/balance, fuel consumption, etc. I was in 1...

A fresh news item claims that a mayor-general commanding the airstrikes against Ukraine was aboard the downed Russian A-50 (AWACS type) and therefore perished. Sounds like this incident is a major disaster for Russia, not only losing a scarce plane (only 15 put into service total) with specialized ...

It looks like tfg’s makeup is rubbing off on Loomer’s face.: I wanna know where she got the fashion dress. It's made for a young teen without all the lumps Laura has. The shoes are even worse. They look like the slippers my grandfather wore around the house for decades. Were women's shoes like that...

The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations reports that the area of the fire in the Wildberries warehouse complex in St. Petersburg has grown to 50,000 m². Lots of fires appearing lately. 50,000 square meters is about 550,000 square feet, for those of us on the American Freedom measuring system i...

Yabbut keith's bananas should be upside-down as he's stranded in the southern semiball so the Coriolis force rotivates counteranticlockwards and the first quarter moon is the third quarter so he wears socks on his hands and needs corks around his hat brim so gravy doesn't push it skywards. And the ...

I NEVER use self check out. I don't work there. Once at Wal-Mart there was no checker so I went to customer service-they told me to use self checkout and I asked for the employee discount. They rang me up! That's a cleverly humorous way to protest by pointing out just who benefits from self checkou...

ETA: and why can't people figure out how to set bananas down on the points (like a frowny face) instead of points up (like a smiley face) so the bananas don't get bruised? Don't mothers teach their kids anything anymore? Now that you mention it, that makes perfect sense. I'm sixty-something and hav...

The end of an era: Pea Soup Andersen's in Buellton, a SoCal landmark, closes suddenly just shy of its 100th anniversary. https://www.sfgate.com/centralcoast/article/pea-soup-andersen-buellton-closed-18600570.php 720x0.webp Oh, noes! Though the Harris Ranch made a trip up I-5 more delightful, it cou...

Why would he claim that he is "unable" to establish legal residency anywhere outside of California? Is it just that he's let his license expire and that makes it harder to get a new one somewhere else? Or is there something else? I've never had a problem moving between states.

While in my area we got 1-3 inches and the media is calling it a snow storm. 1-3 inches a storm? Maybe in North Carolina but not here. 3 inches is a Tuesday. In most places, 36" of snow in one storm would be called a "Winterpocalypse" or "Snowmageddon," but in Buffalo, they...

Dedicated to the Finicums and the Bundys: There's a couple of live versions out there I could have used, but the sound is less than optimal, so this is the LP version with the boring LP cover 'video'. https://youtu.be/9YxK-swFREo?si=3ipit9Urz3VRrL7R Perhaps my favorite album of all time. Steely Dan...

What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bi-Lingual What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Tri-Lingual What do you call someone who speaks more than three languages? Multi-lingual or a Polyglot. What do you call someone who speaks only one language? An American. Whenever I g...

Anything marketed with "patriot" in the name is an immediate red flag for me. Scam scam scam. Wasn't there a scam with "patriot phones" in the aftermath of January 6, where the company offered cellphones that were allegedly protected against FBI/CIA spying, but turned out to be ...

I was going to work on a Fogbow Meetup in Cincinnati this summer, mostly because Gregg is there and knows a lot of things we can do together, but now what? Maybe by then he'll be stable enough for a short group visit. There must be some way we can show our love and appreciation for the Gregg who's ...

Those expressions! Clearly, they are judging you harshly for providing insufficient quantities of snaccs.

The Statesman ran a most excellent Op Ed about Ammon today. If nothing else, it should (but will it?) shame him from returning. https://archive.ph/u4OTK Unfortunately, people like Ammon have no shame. It seems to be a feature, not a bug. The good news is that he can't stay hidden for long. He has t...

I had discovered Nandi Bushell before. She's awesome. Here's a video from a couple of days ago on Drumeo, which is a YouTube channel for learning to play the drums (both beginning and really advanced). They get a lot of legendary players to come in and talk. I've been subscribing for a while, thinki...

OMG. I have been on top of some buildings that made me quesy thinking about it. Grain elevators, skyscapers, bridges. I just had to pucker up and go. You wonder what genius thought it was good idea to put the equipment there. Case and point was the antenna at the top of the stack for the coal fired...

Built in a tent in Solana Beach north of San Diego. Osborne used to come into the Gyro shop that I frequented. He interupted an argument I was having with somebody over Computer Accounting applications and how they should be flexible and adapt to the customer, instead of the other way around. He tr...

Bluesky invite bsky-social-hcc6c-db7vv Thanks. I used that to sign up (finally). I am at https://bsky.app/profile/capitalismhq.bsky.social in case anybody cares. Perhaps those of us who are also on BlueSky, Mastodon or others could post their handles here or maybe we can create another forum to do ...
