Two days after a looney bugman decided to shoot up an Independence Day parade, someone went and kerploded the Georgia Guidestones. If you don’t know what those were… well, read up on ’em and marvel at the weirdness.

Not related apart from “what THE HELL is this noise?” The downfall of new York City continues apace as an old man (ah, crap, he’s younger’n *me*) is sent to jail because he defended himself against a violent assault:

Not lovin’ it! Fed-up Russians are served MOLDY burgers in their replacement McDonald’s restaurants after the chain left the country due to the invasion of Ukraine
Whoops.
The photos there are *not* appetizing. Of course it’s impossible to say that they are legit. All the photos there are closeups of moldy buns and insect legs in burgers and fries… none at least in that article show the food actually in context of being within the former McDonalds restaurants. The bug legs could be added in for effect; the burgers might be old. But it could all be honest reporting, too.
You wouldn’t think it would be *that* hard to maintain standards when you have the same facilities, presumably the same supply chain and presumably much the same staff. But I guess here we are.

So July 4 gave the media a new obsession… a mass shooting in Highland Park Illinois, just north of Chicago. Somewhat unusually, the shooter has been caught alive and uninjured, so this time they’ll at least be able to ask him why he did it. But I get the feeling that the answer will be something along the lines of God told him to do it by speaking through the neighbors dog. He’s got “crazy” written all over his face.
Inside the Sick Posts of July 4 Massacre ‘Person of Interest’
As yet there doesn’t seem to be a lot political there, just a bunch of random gibberish. He photographed himself wearing a Trump flag as a cape; he liked Biden posts. But the random gibberish comes off as someone whom the FBI and/or local cops should have been aware of. I suspect we’ll soon hear – quietly – that he was on the police radar, and that he was on psychiatric meds of some kind.
Interesting that just when the hoplophobes need to drum up fear of guns, the whackjobs come out of the woodwork to oblige.

Oregon Health Officials Delayed a Meeting Because ‘Urgency Is a White Supremacy Value’
Insert half-a-joke here about hoping that these people need an ambulance someday and find that the dispatchers and drivers share their views about the importance of “urgency.”
Less jokey: they are involved in healthcare, and they don’t think that getting things done in a timely manner is a good thing.
This didn’t happen on the cruise I took

Long ago I took a cruise to Alaska. it was a reasonably classy affair; at the very least, no drunken brawls at 5AM that required the Coast Guard to show up and escort the ship. I guess that trip just wasn’t as culturally enriched as it could have been.
Seems to me incidents like could actually be useful: if you’re in international waters and people start acting like uncivilized savages… the Coast Guard shows up, takes said passengers, and promptly deports them to Liberia or London or some such third world hellhole. They’ll doubtless be happier there, and we’ll doubtless be happier here.

There is a *lot* that can be said about this video, very little of it complimentary. A lot of it would suggest that stockholders should be POed.

So some guy makes an animation of a cartoonish aircraft. Fine, great, wonderful. But it’s getting an unreasonable amount of press from mainstream media who think that this is actually a serious “design” rather than what it is… just a cartoon.

It may or may not be good from a modeling and animation point of view, but it is clearly not something to be taken even remotely seriously from an engineering point of view. You might as well debate the merits of a spaceship that showed up in a “Far Side” comic.
This is modern “journalism.” The same trade that’s telling us that Trump “lunged” from the back of a limo and tried to yoink the steering wheel. Same people told us to believe without evidence “Russia collusion” and “Jan 6 was worse than 9-11.”

So here we have a smooth-brained genius somewhere in India deciding that the obvious thing to do is to physically assault a cop who already has his revolver drawn. One shot, followed by a lot of caterwauling. Note to Hollywood: getting shot seems wholly un-fun, and it instantly changes the mood and tone. It is unlikely to be the sort of thing one just shrugs off.
And for those other bright sparks who constantly question “why don’t the police just aim for the legs” every time some moron serves as a bullet sponge… *this* guy caught a bullet in the leg. One bullet. Take a look at how quickly he’s spewing precious bodily fluids. I don’t know any more about this story by this one video (i.e. squadoo), but if he didn’t receive *prompt* medical attention, his next appearance in the paper was likely an obituary.

California released the names, birthdays, home addresses, gender and race of everyone with a concealed carry permit. Yeah. Here come the lawsuits.
Simple solution: as a “compromise” with those who want red flag laws… enact Constitutional Carry nation-wide.
