Attractive woman who would probably end up in multiple pieces tied up in Hefty bags and scattered in different locations along the interstate on a cross country road trip
Butter face??

She’s not a beauty in the classic sense but she is not unattractive at all. And “But that body, whoa” is a plus. I haven’t watched the videos but the captions on the gifs is what led to my initial comment. I mean, she’s funny in a self deprecating way but feisty as well and not afraid to dish it out. I have a feeling that would get old after a while. Not really anything I actually have to worry about though!
I read an interesting comment at the HQ yesterday and I thought CoAlex might have some insight here…
The moron stated that the CEOs of companies that aren’t doing well go woke because it gives them one last chance to boost revenue, affecting the share price. The CEO and other leaders can then dump the stock, make millions, and let the company falter.
It’s a plausible scenario if you have a CEO with unexercised vested shares.
I think it’s more likely that the CEO made a bad decision under pressure from political activists within the organization or is a political activists himself.
The influencer model is pretty interesting for advertising.
You can pay a celebrity millions of dollars to endorse a product and try to reach a few people or you can pay pennies to a few influencers with to reach of millions of followers.
The influencer model would have been impossible 20-25 years ago but the internet shook up the standards that previously worked for decades.
Maybe even 10 years ago. I know Glenn Reynolds always used to mention “the coming higher education crack up” because of online access to education at the same time as rapidly rising tuition fees. He still might, I don’t visit Instapundit as often these days.
I read a Boston Herald article about the Biden-Putin meeting and it mentioned Joe giving Vlad a pair of sunglasses from a company in Randolph, MA. It didn’t mention any more than that so I did some sleuthing and discovered the factory is a couple of towns over from where I grew up.
I’m not a big fan of the aviator style glasses and knowing that Slow Joe wears the brand is a bummer. But Ben will be turning 18 this September and with his love of all things aviation I think a pair would make a great gift.
Camping. Going well. The campsite is right along one of my legs from the Road Ragnar – I didn’t know it , the path along side was just super familiar. We took the path all the way to Frankfort last night, had a beer on the beach, then had dinner at a brewery in town outside. It was nice. Three mile ride each way which was a perfect little jaunt
MJ, it may be a chicken and egg thing. Sarah Hoyt calls it “Go Woke go Broke” so that the management that pushes woke have poor business and marketing skills since they are not focused on actual sales and marketing.
If the people in charge have no idea of what is going on, they can latch onto what they have been told is the solution , and ignore what works. This is a problem with a managerial class recruited for other things instead of competence and knowledge
when you get the aviation bug, it’s all in, isn’t it? My uncle the test pilot, my friend the private jet pilot/commercial pilot, his dad and his restoring planes, they go whole hog.
A fine model, though not quite championship level.
Odds are “woke” was largely already permeating many of those companies in some form, but now the signal’s been given to let the freak flag fly. Of course there was a reason it went below the radar before…which reason is now reinforced as effect follows cause.
They wouldn’t do this if they didn’t think they had the end game sealed up.
One of the secondary and implicit lessons in Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power is that modern art production and sales is a scam from top to bottom. It’s money laundering or fraud at every turn.

LOL, Mo Brooks says the media attacks, especially by al.com (heavily lefty newspaper who endorsed Hillary in 2016, and they wonder why they have lost so many of their subscribers) are the best endorsement he could ask for. Amen, brother.
Honestly, I don’t have enough popcorn for the race for the opening Senate seat here. Brooks has a good track record (for a career politician), so he’s the likely winner. His competition…meh. Britt’s Chamber of Commerce insider type, she worked for Shelby, that’s a DQ for me. The other is so nondescript I don’t even remember her name, complete nonentity so far as I’m concerned.
Naturally, I expect something stupid to happen and all hell to break loose.
At a recent knife show, a couple of the open bid auctions for a maker from
Russia went for crazy high prices. The buyer paid for both with stacks of cash. Probably some form of money laundering.
I really like the people in government who don’t even try to hide the graft.
They hire family members as consultants or to work on their staff. I’m sure you know the story of Maxine Waters’ daughter getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to send out mailers in a district that she wins with 80% of the vote. Or that the Somali congresswoman has her boyfriend as a consultant whom she pays 20K per month, which helps afford the lifestyle she enjoys. Or that Biden paid his brother 200K a year for 40 years to talk to him on the phone once a week for an hour.
My all time favorite is AOC. She’s so dumb that she put her boyfriend on her staff but pays him equally with the other know nothings. Something like 80K per year. She could pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars and set herself up but decided to be ‘fair’. What an asshole. She’s proud of being fair in her corruption.

We see it and not only do we not fight back, we usually work to help normalize it.
Look at everything turning into a "subscription." Of course they want your house like you software, media, cars, and everything else. THEY own it. YOU pay forever. THEY can cut you off. YOU obey. https://t.co/RCtaUOq30r
If houses are a bad investment, why is BlackRock buying them?
The board would be screaming and ousting the CEO, right?

This ties with what I’ve said on the HQ and here about how western governments are corporations captured by an over-credentialed managerial class. Basically you have generations of mid-wits who were just smart enough to game the system in order to get hired/elected, but not to actually create anything new of value. Instead they burned through the accumulated social, political, and economic capital of their countries. The thing is, these folks are the same ones who fill up private corporations as well. They all attend the same schools, get the same MBAs/J.Ds/Ph.Ds, all live in the same neighborhoods, and fuck each other’s wives. Arguably the increasingly complex financial sector has made it worse, because it encourages risky investments, as well as a desire to securitize everything, which appeals to midwits without any real creative ideas.

Leon, houses are a bad investment for you. For the elite, they are a great investment.
One of the things that’s consistently disappointed me is the mediocrity of people in c suite positions.
For the most part they’re smart, well mannered, and conscientious. However, very few of them have any intellectual depth. And they’re certainly not curious.

Midwits. They mostly have IQs in the 110-120 range, and their entire lives have been spent cultivating their resumes. This creates a fear of risk-taking, which in turn makes them less curious, and dulls mental acuity.
Almost all the CAD/CAM software is either cloud based, or has to be connected to the internet to verify your license.
A friend borrowed a new copy of photoshop from somebody. He installed it and a few days later he found that the software had connected to a website and found he didn’t have a current license. It deleted the program and some of his files.

Someone on Twatter mentioned John Deere as well. The globoagrocorps pay money for a maintenance contract, so they don’t care, but small farmers can’t afford that and so they are screwed if they want to try and fix their combine.
Photoshop is broadly hated by working artists at this point. There is a community carefully keeping the last “offline” version of it running and offering help to others doing the same.
GIMP is coming along, but it’s not on the same level. Yet.
Yeah, either we’re in a housing bubble where everything is over priced or it’s just inflation worries driving the market. If it’s a bubble, you want cash so when it pops you can buy cheap. If it’s runaway inflation, you don’t want cash.
Evidently, Blackrock thinks it’s inflation, or they have some other strategy.
I’m trying to figure out how to preserve what we have.
Risk aversion and mitigation taken to the current extreme level benefits large businesses. They never have to worry about competition because no one big enough to challenge them will step up and the small guy that takes a risk and succeeds is bought out before they can attain any real market share.
It’s been the business paradigm in Pharma development since at least 2000.
Yeah, John Deere has decided to fuck over customers like me in favor of ConAgra and the like. They don’t even sell lawnmowers with a normal oil pan anymore, just their “all in one” oil cylinder that combines filter and reservoir. Sure, the oil change takes all of 10 min, but you have to buy a new John Deere product annually now.
It’s inflation. Too much loose money was created and injected into the financial sector. Folks have to park it somewhere…and when something goes sideways with those investments, they look for something else…and then COVID…
End result: Prices of everything go up.
Except labor. That they suppress by any means necessary.
End result: Wages don’t rise. Even to match cost of living.
Stagflation 2: Electric Boogaloo. Coming soon to an economy near you.
Evidently, Blackrock thinks it’s inflation, or they have some other strategy.

GNDs firm doesn’t think there’s a bubble. They had solid logic but I’m still gun-shy from the last one.
1. Lenders aren’t lending over value and are keeping consistent with credit guidelines. For example, if you pay 500 for a house that appraises at 400, you pay the difference at closing. The lenders are holding firm on this.
2. Interest rates will be held at zero until 2023 per the Fed.
3. The millennials are buying houses. They lived with their parents until 30+ but are now moving out.
4. Supply is very low and is forecasted to remain low.
I have no idea if this is correct but it’s a good argument and they had nice graphs.
My nurse and her husband are building a rental portfolio slowly over the last few years and right now they’re getting ready to close on a mobile home park. It’s got several existing units and the land across the street is developed but there’s no units on it yet. The guy selling it to them got another offer $500,000 higher than their existing contract. He offered them $450,000 if they’d let him sell it for the higher amount. So, a big chunk of cash for doing nothing but no park for future income. They were quite torn about the decision. The biggest problem is the lack of other parks in Maine. I think they’re sticking with the original plan of buying it. During the same conversation she said banks are freely lending money for real estate now and it’s pretty easy to be approved
Mobile home parks are cash cows. Great investment. You need someone to watch it and do maintenance, but usually you can buy an older mobile home and let someone live there in trade.
Leon, nobody likes Bobcats here. You can’t get anyone to work on them. Even the Bobcat dealer doesn’t know how to fix them. I’ve got a neighbor who has a problem with the auxiliary hydraulics on his. Hasn’t worked in a year and a half. Nobody can figure out what’s wrong.
We rented a Deere dozer and they were great to work with, so when we needed a skid steer, I started working with them. Took a while to find one, but the price was better than comparable places. They dropped it off so we could test it for a couple of weeks (no charge). We discovered a hydraulic leak. It was no big deal, someone screwed up a gasket on the filter. They sent a guy down to fix it (100 miles). He didn’t have the proper gasket, so he was going to come back down the next day and install it (no charge). I had them ship it, because it was a simple repair I could do.
One of the things I’ve learned is, with equipment, the dealer is one of the most important things to consider.
I’ve got a big Komatsu backhoe. It’s a beast. It developed a bad brake line last week. I called the Komatsu dealer in ABQ. They had to order the line, not in stock. It’s backordered until mid July. I can still use it as long as I keep the brake fluid topped up, but waiting that long for parts sucks.
A friend of mine got involved in renting commercial shop spaces, (manufacturing, not retail) through a member of his church who was a contractor. They’d build a a block of units like big storage units and rent them out to people who needed shop space. No living in them. He made a fortune doing that.
I got an interesting piece of mail yesterday – a gal who used to work in my office ran for congress last year – AS A DEMOCRAT and proud supporter of the Green Nude Eel. I guess she lost because she’s running again, AS A STAUNCH CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN. She’s not a staunch conservative republican. How many other “republicans” in congress are like her? Quite a few I’d guess.
Being out in the sun is natural and generally healthier than avoiding it. I posit that the alternative is true, that those eschewing sun exposure are unnaturally preserved, like soft hands on a soyboy.
I encourage kids to get out in the sun. Vitamin D deficiency is a pretty common occurrence up here. I always add the disclaimer of “safe sun exposure” and when I’m asked what that is just say “Don’t go nuts with it. Avoid a burn”.
Yeah, I said “too much”. Also, tanning beds suck. Obviously a certain amount is very healthy, I’m just spitballin’ and may be full of shit as usual (I assess this to be the case in roughly seven instances out of ten).
Yeah, you’re not wrong. I just don’t look at her and think she looks older than the claimed 25 years. And — barring excess sun/burns — I’m pretty sure “blue blood” skin tone is a sign of ill health in the other direction.
Today’s price increases were bacon, sausage links, and foam cups and plates. Trash bags and foam tabletop was earlier this week, as well. Jimbro, I tell people that “Melanin is not sunscreen”. BIPOCs really believe that they aren’t getting skin cancer. Skin cancer is for White People. BIPOCs become less efficient absorbing Vitamin D as we age.
Well there’s egg all over my face now – turns out there were TWO women with the same last name running for two different spots in my district last year and they are indeed different parties. They both lost. Never mind. /emilylitella

Any of you want to kick in together to buy one of Hunter Biden’s masterpieces?
He’s never sold his art before but it’s magically worth up to $500,000 on his first go.
One of the secondary and implicit lessons in Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power is that modern art production and sales is a scam from top to bottom. It’s money laundering or fraud at every turn.
Ghostwritten politico biographies are a slightly less classy version of the same scam.
Exactly, Leon.
Even CNN had a piece titled:
The art world has a money Laundering problem.
Hunter’s gig as an “artist” is 100% money laundering.

I just bought a used Deere CTL (skid steer). One of the major reasons is the dealer has been great to work with.

Today’s gal looks a LOT older than 25…..
Two more weeks of this rainbow crap everywhere. I’m so sick of it already.
Theresa – yeah? How much older?
Too much sun, it ages you prematurely.
Being out in the sun is natural and generally healthier than avoiding it. I posit that the alternative is true, that those eschewing sun exposure are unnaturally preserved, like soft hands on a soyboy.
I encourage kids to get out in the sun. Vitamin D deficiency is a pretty common occurrence up here. I always add the disclaimer of “safe sun exposure” and when I’m asked what that is just say “Don’t go nuts with it. Avoid a burn”.
This kid is going places
(I got the story from the WSJ column Best Of The Web)
Yeah, I said “too much”. Also, tanning beds suck. Obviously a certain amount is very healthy, I’m just spitballin’ and may be full of shit as usual (I assess this to be the case in roughly seven instances out of ten).
Yeah, you’re not wrong. I just don’t look at her and think she looks older than the claimed 25 years. And — barring excess sun/burns — I’m pretty sure “blue blood” skin tone is a sign of ill health in the other direction.
Today’s price increases were bacon, sausage links, and foam cups and plates. Trash bags and foam tabletop was earlier this week, as well. Jimbro, I tell people that “Melanin is not sunscreen”. BIPOCs really believe that they aren’t getting skin cancer. Skin cancer is for White People. BIPOCs become less efficient absorbing Vitamin D as we age.
Okay so. I might be around 6.5 indians here, but I forgot my point and that is all I wanted to say.

Uncle Roger and I would get along, I think.
Monica Crowley looks like crap and she is only 52.
Bad plastic surgery and a ton of botox.
Well there’s egg all over my face now – turns out there were TWO women with the same last name running for two different spots in my district last year and they are indeed different parties. They both lost. Never mind. /emilylitella
That is what your mom says, but it isn’t eggs.
6.5 injuns…. wow.
