Monday Overnight Open Thread (7/5/26)

Quote I

“We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans,” he said. “We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with callous dirt streaked hands, those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone. And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.” NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Quote II

The newly emerging socialists, like recent congressional nominees Darializa Avila Chevalier or Analilia Mejia, can never explain why their parents left socialist paradises in Latin America to come to cutthroat capitalist America. Victor Davis Hanson

Quote III

“Now, do I like their political position? Yes, I do. I believe that reproductive rights are a thing. And I think that they are obviously invested in women, and they should be. And that taking it from them was taking a right from women. And that’s the first time I’ve seen that done, except for prohibition. And I think it was wrong. But legally, I think it was the right decision.” Chris Cuomo

I hope you Morons had a great time celebrating our country's birth and independence this past weekend. In the event you had an accident or two, yours truly hopes you didn't need this medical care team.

Once again, The ONT Is Always Looking Out For You^TM

Nude Recreation Week invites everyone to explore the benefits of naturism and body positivity, running from Monday, July 6 through Sunday, July 12, 2026. This week encourages shedding inhibitions along with clothes, promoting a natural and liberating lifestyle. Join the movement by visiting a naturist resort, learning about the community, or simply embracing self-acceptance.

Well here in the Frozen Tundra the deer and horse flies are as thick as thieves in Washington D.C. No way I'm going to embrace self-acceptance with those little blood suckers.

As many of you know, I think the world of the late great Frank Zappa. Imagine if the Maestro had been alive for our recent 250th birthday. I wonder what beautiful piece of music he would have created. Because in 1975 he put out this wonderful song about our bicentennial in 1976. As a caveat, Zappa's "Bongo Fury" was my first Zappa LP I purchased as a teenager from a little shop called Pipe Dreams.

Is this this the time in history where the common man who has everything left to lose says "Fvck it!? US Air Force Engineer Charged With Sawing Down Flock Surveillance Cameras Receives Thousands of Dollars from Supporters Across the Country
"There has been community support for me that I humbly welcome."

Hundreds of freedom lovers are rallying behind a US Air Force engineer accused of chopping down over a dozen AI-integrated surveillance cameras last year.

According to local channel WAVY, Virginia-based Air Force engineer and mechanic Jeffrey Sovern is facing 13 counts of destruction of property, as well as six counts of both petit larceny and possession of burglary tools related to the destruction of Flock license plate cameras.

These automatic license plate readers, or ALPRs, are starting to blanket the United States, spreading across small towns and bustling cities alike by the thousands. While ostensibly framed as crime fighting tools, the AI-powered spy devices have raised significant privacy and social policy concerns, especially as innocent citizens get caught up in the dragnet. Like AI data centers, they’ve become a hot political issue at the local level, fueling public outrage and organized campaigns from coast to coast.

Maybe 2020 did plant some seeds of rebellion. Time will tell.

Speaking of rebellion. A Happy Belated Birthday to our great country. Some exceptional drinking before we were officially a country.

The Pilgrims stopped at Plymouth Rock because they ran out of beer. The U.S. Marine Corps was founded in a bar. One of the reasons Prohibition failed in in the United States is probably because this country was founded on and was fueled by booze from the get-go—and there just isn’t a lot Americans won’t do to keep the party going a little longer.

The best example of this might be the legendary Revolutionary War leader Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, whose first order of business after famously taking Fort Ticonderoga from the British was to raid its liquor stores and “drink the place dry.”

The Fabulous is a great cook. And often she will say, "Slow down and enjoy your meal." She's never met Florida Keys resident Kevin Renly.

A Florida man who finally captured the title at the World Famous Key Lime Pie Eating Championship said his winning strategy came down to eliminating the biggest obstacle first: the whipped cream.

Florida Keys resident Kevin Renly, 62, claimed victory at the annual Fourth of July competition in Key West after devouring a whipped cream-topped 9-inch Key lime pie in 59.6 seconds — all without using his hands.

Contestants were required to eat the pies without using their hands, though goggles and dive masks were allowed.
