54-Yr. Old Man Found Dead, No One Gives A Good Goddam ...

... other than a perfunctory media release that was picked up by mynewsLA.com.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office Sunday identified the body of a man who was discovered on a sidewalk in the Westlake area.

The man was identified as Danilo Tecson, 54, according to the agency, which added that they had no city of residence for Tecson.

According to the agency’s website, his date of birth — Oct. 28 — was also the date of his death.

The discovery was made at about 7:45 a.m. Saturday in the 400 block of South Coronado Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Police added that there was “no evidence of foul play.”

No further information was immediately available.

Unsure of relevance here, but of interest: The scene of Mr. Tecson's death is w/in walking distance of this reporter's bunker.

After Tenants Complain, Slumlords Cut Off Electricity, Gas, Water & Internet, Then Attack Tenants

That this area of perpetual violence & historical hatred is known as "The Holy Land" is but another example of how most of your species is 180° wrong about everything. Or do most of you think murder, rape, war & general savagery are holy? Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Cretin Caucus Picks A Real Winner

Piling on:

How new House Speaker Mike Johnson spent years fighting against gay rights

The staunch social conservative previously called gays “destructive.”
Ah, a "staunch" social conservative, not a drooling maniac. Words escape them. Check Press Watch for more on how these cretins are (poorly) covered.

"Staunch Conservative" Or Two-Bit Christo-Fascist?

Protests Too Much

New speaker of the House Mike Johnson once wrote in support of the criminalization of gay sex  —  Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a history of harsh anti-gay language from his time as an attorney for a socially conservative legal group in the mid-2000s.

“Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a history of harsh anti-gay language from his time as an attorney for a socially conservative legal group in the mid-2000s,” CNN reports.

“In editorials that ran in his local Shreveport, Louisiana, paper, The Times, Johnson called homosexuality an ‘inherently unnatural’ and ‘dangerous lifestyle’ that would lead to legalized pedophilia and possibly even destroy ‘the entire democratic system.'”

“And, in another editorial, he wrote, ‘Your race, creed, and sex are what you are, while homosexuality and cross-dressing are things you do. This is a free country, but we don’t give special protections for every person’s bizarre choices.'”

So a "creed" is not something one does or chooses, but "what you are", whereas homosexuality is a bizarre choice. Interesting. I wonder when & where Mike made his "choice". Other interesting choices he's made.

"Murder", They Typed

In a fiery interview that aired Tuesday, Queen Rania of Jordan sat down with veteran journalist Christiane Amanpour and lambasted what she described as the “glaring double standard” in Western mainstream media coverage of the Israel-Gaza war.

“It has been very disappointing to see the double standards in the world today, to see the strong condemnation of what happened on Oct. 7, but very little condemnation of what is happening today,” the Jordanian royal said on Amanpour & Co, in a video interview from the capital city of Amman, Jordan.

“Why isn't there a call for an immediate ceasefire? We are seeing staggering human suffering happening today, so why is the narrative always skewed towards the Israeli side? The Western media and policymakers are quick to adopt the Israeli narratives. When Israel attacks, Palestinians ‘die,’ but when Israelis die, they are ‘killed,’ murdered in cold blood.”

Mittens Runs His Mouth:
G.O.P. A Hive Of Scum & Villainry

Sidewalk stencil, La Brea Ave., Aug. 2023. (Yes, they're real. They call themselves scam rap.)
Been waiting for a use for this image; digby has stollen [sic] some juicy excerpts about his fellow Republicans that Mittens shared w/ his biographer.
Mr. Coppins writes that Mr. Romney saw Mr. Gingrich as “a ridiculous blowhard who babbled about America building colonies on the moon.” He also had moral objections to Mr. Gingrich’s admitted adultery.

In his journal, Mr. Romney wrote that his wife, Ann, thought that Mr. Gingrich was “a megalomaniac, seriously needing psychiatric attention.”

Even people who believe in magic hats & seeing stones can see through these jerkwads. Why can't voters?

And let's not forget what carpetbaggers the Romneys are. Mexico to Michigan for George (forgot he was chairman & president of American Motors for eight yrs. before he became Gov. there) then Mitt fucks off to Mass., where he is a corporate raider & then Gov. & unsuccessful Senate candidate, goes national against the colored guy, then, tail between his legs, runs to Utah & becomes one of their Senators. Talk about rootless cosmopolitans. And Ronna [Romney] McDaniel, chair of the R.N.C. What's up w/ her?

Life In Death Valley

‘I’ve never seen anything like this’: Death Valley gleams with water, wildflowers and color

[L.A. Times, use the incognito mode.]

Mission Accomplished!

You need only watch/speed through the first seven mins. of this.* Stole the idea from Jimmy here ('Though I used the "Wispy Clouds" version; more desert-like.) & I had an easier time mounting the backdrop.Mostly because my layout slides easily on the milk crates.
Didn't occur to me at first, but after a few tries involving climbing on it I remembered that it does move, & quite easily, so I made a couple of ft. of space for my lard ass & all went well once I'd rolled it on the tube in which it was shipped so it wouldn't flap all over while I was taping it in place.
Done. And it looks straight!
Added bonus: Can now walk into the kitchen w/o contorting myself.
++good: Electricity still flows through the track.

*No, I've no idea why YouTube model railroaders use that mind-numbing generic country music w/ acoustic guitar. Or why they insist on showing all of everything they do, even if it's accelerated. P.S.: Please subscribe to my channel!!

Transfer Station Renovation

I've had this piece of plastic Chinese-made crap for over three yrs. Recently I've been moving it & track around attempting to position it & a brace of tractor-trailers, plus maneuvering room for the semis, along a siding. Between the glue drying out or whatever it does & a crummy job on my part, various parts began to detach themselves.
(Have had to reattach that ramp & the left side of the loading dock several times because of poorly fitting parts. Three yrs. & several YouTube videos later, I now know not to trust that the plastic crap was correctly made.) While regluing (allowing for the poor fit) it occurred to me it was floorless.
Measured, cut & painted a piece of cardstock & slapped it in.
Weathered the bldg. a bit w/ excess floor paint.
Imposing, innit?
Final irony; re-laying track didn't work, it all ended essentially as it had been.
Anal obsession, or merely attention to detail? Noticed in the above image a bit of glue from the you're-damn-well-gonna-stick-this-time amount of glue I applied, & that the smokejack wasn't flush w/ the roof. Another case of bad fitting; had to snip a literal mm. from it for flushness. Then decided to repaint it w/ steel paint that was convenient.

Then decided the weathering looks excessive (in the photo, 'though not so much when viewed by the Mark I Eyeball at a distance of four ft. or so) & toned it down w/ weathering powder.

Was I Not Correct?

Stick It, Landlord Scum!

Newsom signs tenant bills to lower security deposits, prevent more evictions

Here is the Gawd of The Book, the original landlord. Interesting that as soon as humans are introduced, ol' Jehovah finds a way to evict them,* & he's not even renting them the damn garden! Th' hell?
I get the snakes, but Rover?
Quite a precedent. No wonder people don't like threats against landlords; they think they're made in the image of Gawd.

I've said it before, I'll doubtless have to say it again, & I mean it every time:
