I’ve heard this speech before. Last time, it was in German.

Anyone who disagrees with him and his senile policies is evil and stupid. Even better: burning down businesses and killing people in the streets for political purposes? Not worth mentioning. Milling about the halls of power? Oooh, that there threatens the very bedrock of democracy.

This was not a campaign speech. This was a call for violence.

Huh.

Utica Sculpture Residency Vandals Are Under the Age of 11, Police Say

Five Mostly Peaceful Vandals aged 8 to 11 pretty effectively trashed an upstate New York art… place. Workship. Studio. Collective. Whatever. The photos in that and an earlier article make it clear these little monsters were on a mission of destruction. The artists have set up a “gofundme” type thing to help rebuild, with a goal of $75,000. Seems to me the kids families should be the immediate go-to for reimbursement. According to the funding campaign, damage includes:

  • All windows, interior and exterior, have been smashed
  • The entire office along with accompanying communication and computer equipment, important archival documents and information, and furniture have been severely damaged and destroyed
  • The entire kitchen, kitchenware, and equipment were smashed and spread throughout the studio area
  • The bathrooms and hallway were flooded and damaged
  • Several donated art pieces for CHAIRity have been partially damaged or completely destroyed
  • Furniture and storage units throughout were destroyed or rendered useless
  • Camera and video technologies have been smashed and destroyed
  • Lighting was busted or smashed
  • Multiple bicycles for use by artists-in-residence were stolen

Kids these days. I look forward to the exciting and innovative excuses that will be made for them.

I know a lot of modern art sucks and often resembles actual garbage more than art, but come on.

In “Jaws,” the Sheriff takes out the shark by shooting a SCUBA tank with an M-1 Garand. The tank, clenched in the sharks jaws, kerplodes and shreds the Shark. Many years later Mythbusters tried to do the same thing, with the result that nothing much happened: holes were poked in the tank and it quickly blew down, but didn’t explode. Myth busted.

But then… GunTuber Edwin Sarkissian put an oxygen tank in a safe and shot through them with a .50 BMG rifle. The results were energetic and nearly Kentucky Ballistics in their effect. “Put a thumb in it” would not have been sufficient.

 

Not entirely relevant: restoration of a Pakistani home-made Kalashnikov 12-gauge shotgun, left in a wall for a number of years and rusted badly. Back when I lived in a free state I had a 12-gauge AK, and it was fun as hell to shoot… but you couldn’t pay me enough to pull the trigger on this thing.

Project Veritas had an enlightening hidden-camera chat with a public school assistant principal. In it he describes how to go about making sure that conservative employee candidates are rejected on the basis of their politics, how Democrat/progressive politics are injected into the classroom, how religious discrimination is normalized. It should be interesting to see if he maintains his employment. The chances that he’s alone in his practices is essentially zero, so expect that someone like this may well be at work in *your* school district.

Only one murder so far!

Dancing revellers crash through a bus stop ROOF near Notting Hill Carnival as partygoers enjoy first event in two years since Covid – while police arrest 38 people including two for sexual assault

How long until Britain is just a fading memory among people in far-flung lands?

So who knew that newly manufactured rolls of foam sheeting are full of butane gas? This guy does. Well, he knows it *now.*

Fun fact:

https://www.borealisgroup.com/polyolefins/polymer-solutions/foam-solutions/10-frequently-asked-questions-about-po-foam

Question 1: Which physical foaming agent (gas) is the best in PP foam production?

Answer 1: The choice of the best physical foaming agent depends on the target foam. Hydrocarbons, like iso- or n-butane, are used in production of the lowest density foams, whereas inert gases, like supercritical CO2 or N2, are used in production of foams with densities typically higher than 200 kg/m3.
