Irons in the Fire
Opinions large and small, worth everything you pay for them.

A new-to-me PC is installed,
and on some points Windows 11 is a PITA. For instance, unless you know to change some settings, anything you save, or copy over, can get 'saved' to Onedisk. Screw that noise. Some other things are different, enough that it's a pain to find what you're looking for until you get used to it. I swear, they look for things they can make difficult.

These people really don't like having their own words repeated to them;
gee, I wonder why they hate it so much? Other than being assholes, of course.
They also hate the idea that 'You shouldn't kill someone over opinions'. Which apparently is horribly offensive to leftists because it seems to be their go-to plan.
There are massive marches in multiple countries in support of Kirk and his actions, and the media is playing their usual bullshit game: "Far-right", etc.

And Nancy Pelosi, being the shit she is, is currently insisting "WE are not responsible for what someone does with our words(but you on the Right really need to shut up)" Because she's a truly sorry creature.
And Larry Correia points out "These idiots don't realize just what they've shown people."
And a bunch of teachers, hospital types, 'educators' and others are finding out their employers have a real problem with them dancing in blood and celebrating a murder. Which is fine: they're just wonderful with Kirk being murdered for talking to people, so they can't whine too much about being fired for doing the same, now can they?

A short clearing, long busy day
and I'm beat
This reminds me: had a friend who threw a party, and so it'd get used to people she let her boxer puppy run around. Wood floors(veryimportant).
He ran over to me at one point, I started petting, and he flopped on his side. So I put at hand at nech and butt and gave him a good shove. Slide across the living room, came to a stop, jumped up , ran back to me and flopped.
About the fifth time she walked in, asked what the bleep I was doing: "Playing with the pup." Not the kind of playing she approve of so into his cage he went.
Always got along with that dog.

One of the wonders of modern medicine
is cataract surgery. Well, there's a thing that can happen in the years after that that causes a film to develop on the inside of the eye(no, can't remember the name). It makes things blurry. Which happened, it seems, right about the same time the stroke happened.
Which caused the weirdness in my eye to be attributed to the stroke. Happily it wasn't, and there's a fairly simple fix: there's a laser they use to clean it up and clear your vision. Which, at the last moment, as I was sitting solidly in place, having a nurse say "Sorry, my hands are cold" and put both on the back of my head.
Speaking of lost opportunities, I thought of saying "Not the usual reason I want a woman holding my head", but I didn't.
Couple of minutes later it was done.
Vision came back to normal in that eye. But there are some tiny bits of the film that float around at times, just right to make you think a fly or something is buzzing around over there. Which is distracting, but beats the alternative.

Lawdog has had a couple of posts on the murder of Iryna Zarutska,
one being here on the general way of behaving with people like that murdering shit around; the other gets more into the failures/faults of the leftist assistants to murder and more crimes responsible for the shit being loose to do this.
Are you angry? Are you furious?
GOOD — because that picture did not happen in a vacuum. It was enabled by people who were placed into a position of power to allow it to happen by the voting public, and those powerful people understand that — given enough time — the voting public will forget about this, and allow them to remain in power. You’d better remember that fury at the voting booth.
Do you grieve for her? Does your heart hurt at the expression on her face? Well, understand — in your blood and in your bones — that our self-anointed betters in the Legacy Media don’t give a damn about her. Understand in your core that the political class doesn’t give a damn about her. Understand in your fangs and in your claws that the parasites, and the grifters, and the pretty people, and Our Betters in their coastal metromesses, in their ivory towers, and in their City Halls and Capitols … don’t give a single, solitary damn about her.
Or you. Or your children. Or your family.
They think they’re better than you, and they don’t give a damn about you. You are on your own.
He ends it with a copy of the Killhouse Rules
Just to add to the rage, some of the city council and the Mayor wanted the videos to be kept away from the public. 'For the sake of the families', with no mention that there's an election today with the Mayor running for another term.
Which is probably part of the reason most of our Professional Journalists would not touch the story.

Bayou Renaissance man, if you've read his site, you know
he's been having health problems. They've started a fundraiser here, if you can spare a few bucks this would be a couple who can use it.
Yeah, I have doubts they'll make it
when they allow idiots like this in black robes and the fancy wig
And when this piece of garbage commits a horrible act or two, or takes part in one, the judge will self-righteously inform the peasants "I followed the law!" Etc.

Was pointed out that some of the medications transexuals are prescribed
might well wind up fitting into the category of "Things that will cause us to say 'No' to buying a gun" on the ATF forms. Especially if Kennedy's study on them goes through.
That's been a major concern for a lot of people for years, those people and the stuff prescribed for ADHD and other things. And it's a good question as to just how bad some of them might turn out to be. Damned if anyone can believe what a lot of the pharma companies say, bad as a lot of their information has been on various things. And, since the drugs used on transsexual cases are on such a protected species for the left, that could get real interesting.
We'll see. As a general thing I hate the "This group cannot be allowed arms" idea, but this is a different thing: if it's the medications some are given that's screwing them up*, that's a different matter.
*I know, that's not counting the worthless 'counselors' and teachers in many cases who push kids to think "You may be the wrong gender, we can help with that and don't have to tell your parents!" Said asshats need to be fired. And the politicians and bureaucrats telling parents "If you don't support this, we'll take your kids away for their own safety" need to be dealt with as well.

The left is insane, and our media
are biased trash.
Woman murdered on a train, captured on video.
The Mayor and some of the council tried to make the video be locked away(for the 'sake of the family', nothing about how it damages their Preferred Narrative).
The Mayor is now playing 'tells us that this brutal killer is like someone suffering from "cancer" and needs our "compassion." ' Etc.
And our Major Professional Media has had NOTHING to say about it. Doesn't fit their Preferred Narrative, either.
I repeat: insane, and I'll add Evil, and biased trash.

Why do people cuss the Postal Service?
For one thing, their 'tracking' apparently means "We don't know where it is."
Package has been heading this way all week, 'delivery will be Sept. 6 by 9pm'. At 9 last night it had 'reached the main city facility and was being prepared for delivery'.

Now, it says 'departed the St. Louis facility'- which is where it STARTED- 'early this morning'. And there's no 'delivery by' date. Which makes me think they either lost it, or messed up where it was/is, or flat don't know where the hell it is.
Yeah, they can be just bloody wonderful...
