– Kirkland, please upzone more places. This is great.

– The Mariners need something to distract from the games.

– Interesting analysis of sex workers and people buying them at Publicola. I was surprised that the city’s racial categories needed to be reconstructed like that.

– Please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    Alabama

    Two weeks after a running back at a Southern Alabama high school dropped dead from apparent heat related causes during a full-out on a 96degree day a QB in Selma was killed on the field by a brain injury.

    The tough men of the sports commentariat are making fun of the new guardian cap helmets because they’re ’not manly.’

    The QBs dad is an assistant coach on the team and dumbfuck chiming in he’s not really a coach would be typical. The dad is running to the press about his son telling his youth pastor he wanted to lead a revival tent meeting at the school that would have sparked more God who is undeniable in Selma. If any of that is true God said, “Nah, I’m good bro.” The irony.

    … a QB in Selma was killed on the field by a brain injury.

    Sounded like he took a devastating hit to the helmet.

    Early in third period, Tellier was running with the ball when a Southern defender wrapped around his waist, and the QB nearly wiggled free before being tackled at the ankles, Dallas County Coroner William Dailey told NBC News on Monday.

    “He went down, landing on his elbow and his head hit the ground,” Dailey said. “Now, according to everybody there, this was not a violent hit and his head did not strike the ground violently.”

    This is exactly the vicious hit to the head that killed Brian Sicknick. That defender should be charged with murder. Or at least involuntary manslaughter.

    You would think they would eventually tire of being wrong about everything.

    If you make fast food establishments pay a minimum wage it will kill the industry and all the entry level jobs that go with it.

    msn news

    New data show fast food jobs have been on the upswing in the four months since the minimum wage in the sector went from $16 to $20 an hour.
    The Bureau of Labor Statistics found California added 11,000 new fast-food jobs from April to July and showed increases year over year each month since January.

    OC Register

    Southern California’s fast food restaurants saw record employment in June despite a huge jump in the minimum wage for the industry’s largest chains.
    …
    Employment Development Department numbers show the four-county region had 361,500 fast food workers in June – an all-time staffing high for these dining establishments that employ 4.5% of all Southern California’s workers.

    Right wing Think tank Press Release

    Last September, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed California Assembly Bill 1287 into law, which includes a $20 per hour minimum wage for fast-food workers and a fast-food regulatory council which has the authority to raise the industry’s minimum wage annually. But between last fall and January, California fast-food restaurants cut about 9,500 jobs, representing a 1.3 percent change from September 2023. Total private employment in California declined just 0.2 percent during the same period, which makes it tempting to conclude that many of those lost fast-food jobs resulted from the higher labor costs employers would need to pay.

    Are you calling violent insurrectionists trying to overthrow our duly elected government and threatening to kill public officials “defenders” now? Is that the latest Republican Noise Machine mantra?

    If a rioter assaults a cop, and the cop dies, the defendant (not “defender”) can, and most likely will, be charged with homicide. The exact nature of the charge will depend on the defendant’s intent. If he shoved the cop, who fell and hit his head, it’s probably manslaughter. If he hit the cop over the head with a flagpole, it’s probably second-degree murder.

    The real sports story today, though, is the White Sox have sunk below the magical number of .235, making them the all-time, bar-none, exclusively WORST team in ALL of major league baseball history. Of course, the season isn’t over yet, so they have an opportunity to not merely be the team that set the record for the worst season ever, but to set a record that will NEVER be broken by ANY team. How the fuck do you lost 103 of 134 games? You have to WORK at it. But it sure helps other teams’ averages.

    The tragedy of MAGA’s conspiracy theory about Tim Walz’s “fake” dog: Donald Trump controls his followers by convincing them to reject basic reality, even the most banal parts.
    https://www.salon.com/2024/08/29/the-tragedy-of-magas-conspiracy-theory-about-tim-walzs-fake-dog/

    Unable to handle the strong possibility that their candidate will lose in November, Trump’s followers are preemptively immersing themselves in a fantasyland where everything they don’t like is “fake,” from Harris’ crowd sizes to the pet photos of their opponents.
    …
    In that context, we can see how sinister the “fake dog” conspiracy theory is. The Harris-Walz message of “joy” is a counterpoint to what Trump is offering, which is an endless barrage of anger, despair, nihilism, and sadism. Walz playing in the park with his dog offers a visual example of this contrast. The picture asks us to imagine a future where we let go of all the hate and just hang out together with our dogs at the park. The only way to disrupt the appeal of such an image is to deny that it’s even possible, arguing that vitriol and violence is all that we can ever hope for.

    Looks like the Arlington National Official the Trump campaign defamed in recent press responses by saying “she was having a mental health crisis” has got herself a couple of lawyers.

    DOD officials have 100% backed her. They say they gave abundant advance notice to Trump that by law political campaigning and demonstrating is not allowed anywhere in the national military cemetery. And they say they went over the ground rules with Trump ahead of time, including informing him and his team that public photography was prohibited in the area where he would be attending the wreath laying. According to the DOD the employee Trump assaulted and later defamed was performing her duties as assigned and according to federal law.

    I imagine she had a pretty long list of some very highly capable prominent civil litigators to choose from, all eager to work pro bono.

    Military Police from Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall were summoned to respond to the assault at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday. In consultation with cemetery officials they declined to make any arrests. But a criminal incident report was filed. Media organizations have filed FOIA requests for the report and ranking members from Congress are also seeking access to it. The Arlington National employee who was assaulted and later defamed by Trump is seeking to have her identity redacted from the reports in order to protect herself and her family from further threats of violence coming from Republican Trump supporters.

    Relatives of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano who died by suicide after serving eight combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern on Wednesday that Donald J. Trump’s campaign had filmed his gravesite without permission as Mr. Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed.

    Sergeant Marckesano died on July 7, 2020, after moving to Washington to begin a job at the Pentagon. He had three children, and friends said he had chronic post-traumatic stress disorder from his time in combat. He earned Silver and Bronze Stars during his service. His gravesite is adjacent to that of Staff Sergeant Darin Taylor Hoover, a Marine who was killed in the 2021 bombing at Abbey Gate outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.

    The family has retained legal counsel and is also seeking assistance from their elected members in Congress. The Trump campaign continues to publish, use, and promote images and video of Sergeant Marckesano’s grave site and grave marker clearly displaying his name in political campaign materials including fund raising appeals despite pleas from his grieving family members.

    It’s sad that it has to work the way it does with assholes like Republicans. But that’s just the way it is.

    Like Ruby Freeman and Shae Moss, the Arlington National Official who Trump assaulted and defamed wants nothing to do with him, or with his broken down campaign. And certainly for her own safety and for that of her family and neighbors, she wants no contact with any of his mob of violent pipe-bomb extremists and MAGA shooters.

    But I can tell you that right now she’s being told by the lawyers she’s retained that this won’t be possible and that she has no choice but to prepare herself. As an employee at Arlington some parts of her employment records are public and those parts will include details making it easy to identify her. It’s likely that media have already done so and are currently withholding it in hopes of negotiating interviews. Her lawyers will be using that leverage to gain as much time as possible so that before her name becomes public she can be kept safe from Republican terrorist threats and attacks.

    And she was only trying her best to do her job to protect our nation’s fallen heroes and their families.

    She deserves our thanks.
    Instead her life will be ruined by MAGA Republican media extremists and terrorists. People like Tucker Carlson and other Republican media ghouls will try to defame, discredit, and destroy her. And she can’t stop it.

    She’s telling her lawyers she wants to stay out of politics and remain anonymous. And they will be telling her that won’t be possible. They will also be telling her that protecting herself and her family will be expensive. And that is true.

    She will need to secure her home from intruders willing to break in to steal mail, letters, computers, phones, etc hoping to find dirt. She will have to take her own garbage out directly to the truck or arrange to take it elsewhere in secret. She’ll have to rent a secure attended post box and have her mail delivered there. She’ll have to rent a car. And she may have to move at least temporarily. And she’ll probably have to take a temporary leave of absence from her job.

    These are bare minimums and they won’t do Jack Shit to push back against or refute the conservative media smear that has already begun anonymously. Nor will they protect her life or the lives of her friends and family if/when a MAGA Republican inevitably calls for violence to be directed her way.

    She will need a bunch of money she doesn’t have. And so her lawyers will be telling her that the right thing to do in her situation is to make those who are responsible pay for it. So they will be urging her to sue. And she probably will once she realizes that Trump, MAGA, and Republican lunatics will never leave her alone until she does.

    What did the vice president know and when did he know it?

    George Bush (GHWB 41) had no direct authority over the military. Yet in this 9 minute, live interview during the CBS evening news hour anchor Dan Rather questioned a sitting vice president about Iran-Contra, extensively, and Bush didn’t shy away from providing answers. This was in 1988, when Bush was a VP running for president. The military was Reagan’s job, not Bush’s. Didn’t seem to matter to Rather, though. Did it.

    39% of Americans worry they can’t pay the bills
    By Matt Egan, CNN

    Nearly four in ten (39%) of US adults say they worry most or all of the time that their family’s income won’t be enough to meet expenses, according to a new CNN poll. That’s up from 28% who expressed those concerns in December 2021, and it’s similar to the numbers seen during the Great Recession (37%).

    To cope, significant shares of Americans said they are adding side jobs, cutting down on driving and putting more expenses on credit cards.

    Even higher percentages of Latino (52%) and Black (46%) Americans said they’re worried most or all of the time about making ends meet, according to the poll.

    More than half (55%) of those making less than $50,000 a year similarly worry about having enough money to meet expenses.

    They also look at the fringes because readers like The Even Bigger Fucking Moron and Welfare Queen YLB aren’t intelligent enough to wonder about what’s between the bottom fringe and the top fringe.

    CNN says consumers worry now the way they did during The Great Recession. That’s Bidenomics, and Boxcheck Momala is very proud of Bidenomics.

    Let’s start with the fact that before Jan. 6, Trump told his followers to “be there, be wild,” and did NOT arrange for National Guard troops to control them:

    A government memo about the events leading up to Jan. 6, statements from Pelosi’s office and the Pentagon and testimony from the former House sergeant-at-arms show Trump did not request 10,000 troops ahead of the rally.

    Okay, so what about when the rally turned into a riot?

    The former chief of U.S. Capitol Police says security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early requests to call in the National Guard ahead of a demonstration in support of President Trump that turned into a deadly attack on Congress. … Sund told the Post that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the “optics” of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence. … Sund says he requested assistance six times ahead of and during the attack on the Capitol. Each of those requests was denied or delayed, he says.

    I want to come back to Walz’s military record, because Republicans keep hammering on it, and everybody is missing an important point — what the role of the National Guard is. It’s surprising that Vance, who served on active duty in the Marines, doesn’t know how the Guard fits into the overall military establishment.

    Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) has criticized Walz’s military record, saying that he has pretended to be someone he’s not because he never saw combat. Walz served in the Army National Guard and left to run for Congress before his unit was deployed. Those who served with him have said they didn’t know the group would be leaving at the time of his retirement.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/4855125-harris-cnn-interview-few-missteps/

    The National Guard is not primarily a war-fighting organization. Most of its members are part-timers, and do not expect to ever see combat when they join. During the Vietnam War, many people joined Guard units to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam.

    The Guard is a reserve force that can be deployed to war zones, but its primary duties are at home, providing disaster relief or acting as a police force to quell civil unrest. Its primary role is to respond to civil emergencies.

    When you join the Guard, you’re signing up to fill sandbags, rescue people from floods, deliver relief supplies, and perform riot control. That’s what the job is, and what Guardsmen are trained for. If they’re called to federal service for war-fighting, they get additional training before being deployed.

    Walz joined the National Guard at age 17, and knew that’s what he was signing up for. Given this, the argument that he chickened out of a war is preposterous on its face. Guardsmen don’t expect to be called on to fight wars. If you want to be a warrior you join the Army, Marines, or Army or Marine Reserves.

    Walz chickened out of nothing. We weren’t at war anywhere when he joined the Guard in 1981, and there was no draft then, so he didn’t join the Guard to get out of fighting a war, as Dan Quayle and George W. Bush did.

    Walz joined to perform the service that Guardsmen expect to perform: Mostly disaster relief, with a possibility of being called on to perform riot control. Most join for the second income, pension, and benefits, and get the satisfaction of serving your community and recognition for that. So what that he joined the Guard instead of the active-duty armed forces; is there something wrong with that? The Guard provides essential services and we need Guardsmen too.
