This woman doesn't seem very good at choosing professionals. She let some croaker give her a Brand X breast implant, then she found a lawyer who didn't go after the implant manufacturer or surgeon, but sued the hotel where it happened & a guard for an "accidental brushing"? ('Though it's not impossible the att'y. started w/ the manufacturer & doctor but that didn't make the papers.)Woman Blames Hotel Guard’s Hand Swipe for Breast Implant Deflation
A woman is suing the owner of a downtown Los Angeles hotel, alleging a security guard caused her left saline breast implant to deflate after he accidentally brushed her with one hand while the plaintiff was trying to help someone with a medical problem in March.Grace Paeck’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against The Freehand Hotel Co., owner of the Freehand Los Angeles hotel, alleges negligence and premises liability. She seeks unspecified damages.
A representative for the hotel on West 8th Street did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Paeck was sitting in the hotel lobby on March 7 when she went to the aid of a patron who needed medical help, the suit states. Security guards approached the ill guest and Paeck and one of them waved his arms in the air to get the plaintiff to back away, according to the suit.
“As the security guard waved his hands/arms, plaintiff’s left breast was hit and she immediately felt a jolting pain,” the suit states. “Later the same day, plaintiff realized that her left saline breast implant had deflated as a result of the security guard hitting her.”
The guard’s “careless and ignorant behavior” at the hotel created an “unreasonable risk of harm,” according to the suit, which further states that Paeck had to see doctors and undergo medical examinations because of her injuries.

Andrew Yang: Bugger Off, You Twit!
True colors of the Forward Party revealed:
And stay the hell outta the middle of the road. It's dangerous.
My immediate guess would be that Bush money is behind this. These fuckers have many Bush connections, & crap like this has the stench of "compassionate conservatism". Poor Jeb, or one of the next generation Bushes, needs a gig. Or Russian money. Either way, whoever's behind this bullshit hopes to fuck w/ what passes for democracy in this country.Andrew Yang is scheduled to speak at a rally for Republican controller candidate Lanhee Chen Thursday in Industry, one day after the candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination announced the merger of three groups to form a new third party.Chen announced his candidacy July 6, 2021, pledging to be “a fighter in the state controller’s office who will be a check on the one-party monopoly in Sacramento, expose fraud and waste in government, and ensure that we can account for every penny that our state spends.”
Chen finished first in the June primary with 37.2% of the vote. He was the lone Republican in a six-candidate field that also consisted of four Democrats and a Green Party candidate. Chen will face Board of Equalization Chair Malia M. Cohen in the November general election. The Democrat was second with 22.7%.
Incumbent Betty T. Yee is barred from seeking re-election because of term limits.
Chen is seeking to be the first Republican elected to statewide office in California since 2006 when Arnold Schwarzenegger was re-elected governor and Steve Poizner was elected insurance commissioner.
Chen is director of domestic policy studies of Stanford University’s Public Policy Program and a fellow in American public policy studies at the university’s Hoover Institution, its public policy think tank.
Chen was policy director for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, serving as Romney’s chief policy adviser, a senior strategist on the campaign and the person responsible for developing the campaign’s domestic and foreign policy, according to his Stanford University biography.
Chen was a senior appointee at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services during the George W. Bush Administration. Chen was appointed to the Social Security Advisory Board by then-President Barack Obama in 2013, serving until 2018.
Chen received bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral and law degrees from Harvard University.
The controller is the state’s chief fiscal officer, responsible for accountability and disbursement of the state’s financial resources, independently audits government agencies that spend state funds, and administers the payroll system for state government employees and California State University employees.
The controller serves on 70 boards and commissions with authority ranging from state public land management to crime victim compensation and a member of numerous financing authorities, and fiscal and financial oversight entities including the Franchise Tax Board and Board of Equalization.
Yang finished sixth in the Iowa caucuses and suspended his campaign after an eighth-place finish in the New Hampshire primary. He finished fourth in the 2021 New York City Democratic mayoral primary.
Yang announced on Oct. 4, 2021, he had changed his voter registration from Democrat to independent, writing in his blog that “breaking up with the Democratic Party feels like the right thing to do because I believe I can have a greater impact this way.”
Yang announced the formation of the Forward Party the following day. The merger of the Forward Party with the Serve America Movement and Renew America Movement was announced Wednesday. The merged organization will be known as Forward, with Yang serving as a co-chair, along with Christine Todd Whitman, a former Republican governor of New Jersey.
The Serve America Movement was founded in 2017 by former George W. Bush staffers and was chaired by former Rep. David Jolly, R-Florida. It sought to “build a new political party for a new American majority,” and supported increasing spending on health care, education and infrastructure. It also supported ending mass incarceration and championed free markets, free trade and fiscal responsibility.
The Renew America Movement was formed in 2021 “to either reimagine a Republican Party dedicated to our founding ideals, or else hasten the creation of such an alternative.”
According to Forward’s website, fwdtogether.org, “three overarching priorities will unite the broad coalition we are building”:
— Free People: Revitalize a culture that celebrates difference and individual choice, rejects hate and removes barriers so that each of us can rise to our full potential.
— Thriving Communities: Reinvigorate a fair, flourishing economy and open society where everyone can live a good life and is safe in the places where we learn, work and live.
— Vibrant Democracy: Reform our republic to give Americans more choices in elections, more confidence in a government that works and more say in our future.
Forward’s focus will be on electing mayors and city council and school board members.
“While we won’t shy away from big national races, our focus is on winning seats like these to change the course of our country,” according to the website. “This is not an effort to run a presidential candidate in 2024, and no one on the Forward team is currently planning to run for president. This is an effort to build a viable, credible and durable national political party.”

Mass Murder, Inc.
Gun manufacturers have made more than $1 billion from selling AR-15-style guns over the past decade, and for two companies those revenues have tripled over the past three years, according to a House investigation unveiled Wednesday.
[The Atlantic]We seem to be fumbling around for answers: Is it racism and radicalization, or untreated mental illness, or toxic video games, or too-easy access to guns? All of these may be parts of the problem, but equally none of them makes complete sense outside of the larger context: The gun industry’s modern marketing effort did not just arm these shooters; in a very real sense, it created them.

Anarchy In The L.A.
Apparently we just can't have nice things.
[L.A. Paywall. If you really give a crap, see what CNS has typed.]A car crash, followed by a street takeover, Friday night were just the latest shenanigans to temporarily close the new 6th Street Viaduct, Los Angeles police said.The crash occurred about 9:55 p.m., forcing officers to block access to the bridge, LAPD Officer Matthew Cruz said.
The $588-million bridge, connecting downtown to the city’s historic Eastside, opened to traffic two weeks ago and has been plagued by taggers, street racers and vehicle crashes.
After a two-hour closure Friday, an estimated 200 people descended on the bridge for a “street takeover, fireworks and vandalism,” the LAPD’s Central Division reported in a tweet.
Central Division officials tweeted that there would be “maximum enforcement” over the weekend and that vehicles parked on the bridge will be cited or towed. Anyone present at a bridge takeover will be cited, they said.
Meanwhile, city and transit officials are looking at installing cameras, higher fencing and a traffic median on the bridge to stem future problems.
Why?
Police said a 6-year-old girl was among three Iowa family members fatally shot while camping in a state park, apparently killed by a man from Nebraska who later turned the gun on himself.

Fuck The Bosses & "The Boss"
Never gave one crap about B.S. Did we ever need another or a "next" Dylan? Frankly, one seemed more than enough. And this is plenty.
We're sure Mr. Springsteen & Mr. Landau are constantly making big "charity donations". What a pair of pigs.It is exceedingly clear that Bruce Springsteen does not care how much a given fan spends to see him play. If he did care, the rock icon who recently sold the rights to his publishing catalog for a cool $500 million — and whose concert tours typically rake in around $200 million at the box office — would refuse to work with Ticketmaster, finance the shows himself, buy permits to use unoccupied fields across America and set a ticket price he alone could control. He’d call it Brucestock or something and pocket considerably less from the fans who’ve supported him for half a century.But, of course, he won’t do this, because no one does. As with all A-list acts, fans expect Springsteen to play their local arena or stadium, those venues usually have binding contracts with promotional juggernaut Live Nation to operate the performances, and Live Nation merged with Ticketmaster in 2009, creating a smothering entertainment conglomerate that essentially forces artists — who in many cases must also adhere to the desires of their record labels, which in turn have deep-seated relationships with Live Nation and Ticketmaster — to use Ticketmaster to fill their shows, turning a blind eye as fans are price-gouged over and over.
The great irony is that just before the ‘09 merger, Springsteen and his longtime manager Jon Landau condemned the move in an open letter, saying it would be “returning us to a near monopoly situation in music ticketing” as they also railed against Ticketmaster directing their fans to a secondary site to purchase seats for inflated prices.
Yet 13 years later, here we are again.
High On Her Own Supply Of Vaporware
You Don't Want to Know What It Smells Like
Gwyneth "GOOP" Paltrow explains her business model:"... we’re able to create product out of thin air that we believe in so much.”You'll never go broke, yada ...
Someone should shove one of those jade eggs down her throat for a few minutes.Her infamous jade yoni eggs—sold for $66 and were meant to be inserted into the vagina for whatever reason—came with warnings from the medical community and got our Gwynedd fined $145,000.More recently, as seen on The Kardashians, Paltrow collaborated with Kourtney Kardashian on a candle called “Smells Like My Pooshie.” Part of that is in reference to Kardashian’s own wellness line, Poosh. Because, synergy?
In related fare, 2020 saw Goop release a $75 candle called “This Smells Like My Vagina.” And while we’re still on the subject, there’s no telling how many housewives bought Goop’s 24k Olga Gold Dildo for $3,490. Though it’s a small price to pay if you’re down with creepy Hollywood orgasm cults.
Other objets Paltrow has peddled to the public include a toothpaste squeezer, vampire repellent spray, and a $73 wooden spoon.

Britain shattered its record for highest temperature ever registered Tuesday amid a heat wave that has seared swaths of Europe - and the national weather forecaster predicted it would get hotter still in a country ill prepared for such extremes. (July 19)
