weird to destroy a beautifully shot short with all the bad fake sepia film filter.
Arrest In Break-In At Democrat Hobbs' Campaign Headquarters
hee! hee!
need two mouths. one is too little to keep talking out of each side.
what has Lake based her campaign on? lying and false allegations.
now that she is being blamed w/no evidence she is - oh, this is new - THE VICTIM !?
(weird thing: who said she was behind this? have to source her allegations of allegations. easier to believe she's saying what no one said. an awful choice for voters.)
BTW: can you blame newt? on the flip side, bk33 you keep squawking 'phawk nuwz' like a 🦜 when a report is patently true! [hypocrisy example #2]
"God you are gullible." <---[hypocrisy example #3] have to believe there are no mirrors in your house 'cause your so self-unaware they'd only fright you

What composting a human body could look like
Sure It sounds fine, but at what price would you pay (money your family won't get) to have this done? If it cost more than direct cremation, would you do it?
Direct cremation at the cheapest $1000-2000 from what i can tell. My googling showed a cost of between $3000-7000 for this service. Personally i think any money spent on getting rid of my body, is wasted money. Put me in a dumpster and take me to the landfill. Also i don't have family that get all weird about death and funerals, etc. so that potential feel good benefit for the living would not be a thing
I'm guessing there is a nice profit to be made for companies that provide such a service, and probably enough people who would feel better having the deceased in their life done away with in this way. If you have the bank and it makes someone feel better than it seems reasonable. Personally i want none of it.
I would totally choose this over the alternatives….although I prefer the composting “coffins” that are impregnated with microbes and fungi to decompose the body faster, and no bone grinding.
With all the ways humans take from their environment, I like the idea of giving back just a little. My body feeding a tree is a much better disposal than pumping it full of toxic preservatives so it can take decades to rot and be toxic for the soil or wasting tons of natural gas to cremate it, again wasting any nutrients it may hold.
The only drawback is I can’t do that AND have a Viking funeral.
Possum Trailer
Watched this last weekend…”weird” is a vast VAST understatement. “Nightmare fuel” is a much better descriptor.
Fleetwood Fire - You make September Fun (Mashup)
I don't think I have the beans, but this really reminded me of a weirdly good mash up of this song and the theme from 28 Days Later. It's one of those mashups that's completely overwritten the original in my mind.

Passing A Portal Through Itself
As I often say in work: When designing a system, if a simple set of rules makes the system behave nicely in lots of weird situations you didn't think of, you have a good system and a good set of rules.
Now I have a nice example. This it really interesting. *promote.

When Speaking in Tongues is a Banger
I assume banger is the appropriate term used these days. I feel very old and weird using the word.
True Stories: Papa Legba
*doublepromote some *quality weirdness
I saw True Stories twice in theaters. Liked it enough to buy the companion book.
Sad they didn’t include any of the fashion show in this.
What Do You Know About Female Anatomy
It was a mock American SAT exam (although I'm a Canadian, and I took the test in a Canadian boarding school right at a border town on Quebec/Maine named Stanstead College). My beef wasn't really with the teacher originally, I just thought the SAT was weird to have such a math question, so I justed wanted to point out there are 2 right answers, and 1 interesting philosophical argument to be had depending of how you look at d)... about how the question/answers were flawed. But with her answer, I couldn't but sneer and thought she was just clueless (instead of both of us had a laugh at the Q... while sipping tea? Stanstead College had a very British tradition).
As she was not the dunce who drafted that stupid question, I was not going to fight her for an inconsequential demerit (on my part or SAT?), nor find it worthwhile to pursuit the higher-ups for a correction.
I say “b” is the “right” answer as it’s more inclusive and includes “c”. Always choose the correct answer with the larger set. (Unless the instructions say choose the CLOSEST answer)
Sometimes in similar cases I would write in “E) both B and C” and be prepared to debate it.
If the teacher refused to consider both answers were correct, I would take it to the administration and get credit (and an apology).
This happened more than once to me in school.
California is Running Out of Water
What do they mean “running out”? We’ve been out of water for decades.
As bad as this sounds, I think he’s under selling the problem big time.
Federal officials announced in February that California farmers will get no federal water this year, zero (that’s the Central Valley Project), while the state has allocated agriculture only 15% of normal from its distribution systems.
Meanwhile the state has also demanded agricultural water districts and cities stop diverting water from rivers and streams along the San Joaquin River. This includes 200 cities in and around the Bay Area, like San Francisco which gets up to 85% of its water from those rivers and streams.
Some rivers and streams in California have stopped flowing, all have reduced flow. The Mad River, just blocks from me, is usually 6-8’ deep bank to bank (75-100’) for at least 6 months out of each year, the last 3 years it never reached its banks and remained a shallow stream all winter, becoming a creek in summer. It is abnormal, most rivers are worse off.
Aquifers have already been depleted so much that the entire Central Valley is sinking rapidly. Reservoirs are WELL below 50%, despite what this clip said (Shasta is reporting at 40% today, but driving over it it looks like maybe 10-20% full with no inflow).
So far this year along, over 1000 residential wells have gone dry. This includes many entire communities losing their drinking water supplies completely. The number of agriculture wells that can no longer function is uncountable. It’s estimated we will lose 2700 drinking water wells this year state wide.
The California water problem isn’t a pressing future issue, it’s an ongoing unmitigated disaster we’ve ignored for far too long. At this point, it’s likely insurmountable, and a collapse of California agriculture will make today’s inflation seem like the good old days when average workers could afford to eat. Start a garden, it’s going to get weird.
