Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition![]() The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear two high-profile challenges to state gun-control laws—one in Maryland banning semiautomatic rifles such as the AR-15, and another in Rhode Island prohibiting magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Both denials came in a June 2 orders list that did not provide an explanation for the denials. However, three justices—Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch—dissented, indicating that they would have taken up the cases. In the Maryland case, sometimes referred to as an “assault weapons” ban, Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred with the majority in its decision to deny review, but said the Supreme Court “should and presumably will” address the constitutionality of AR-15 bans within the next term or two. Kavanaugh, otherwise known as J. Wellington Wimpy, assures us that the court will...eventually...maybe...take up these cases in the future. Well! I am relieved that my 2nd Amendment rights are defended by such capable people! There is no rational reason why the court can't strike down these various unconstitutional state laws by simply referring to their own previous holding in Bruen. Only a deeply dedicated anti-gun zealot could claim that AR-15s aren't in common use, since it is the most popular rifle in America. Only a deeply dedicated anti-gun zealot could claim that 30 round magazines aren't in common use. Hell, that's what the AR-15 was designed for! And most of all, only a deeply dedicated anti-gun zealot could carefully ignore the clear link between the 2nd Amendment's protections and military weapons. Militias aren't groups of hunters on leisurely walks through the forest on deer hunts. The security of a free state is not dependent on access to shotguns for upland birds. The 2nd Amendment protects our right to arm ourselves with the military weapons of the day. Muskets and single-shot rifles in 1791, and the closest the horrid National Firearms Act of 1934 allows us today... the ubiquitous AR-15. In a country that respects its founding documents, that would be an M-4 (full-auto), but the idea that we must be restricted to 10 round magazines and something other than the AR-15 is simply not backed up by any intelligent reading of the Constitution. So...do we have six deeply dedicated anti-gun zealots on the United States Supreme Court? The evidence suggests that we do.

Well! I am relieved that my 2nd Amendment rights are defended by such capable people! ====== I suspect the theory that Thomas, Alito, Kav, and Gorsuch are keeping 2nd amendment cases away from Roberts and ACB is true. Kav's explanation pushes me further into believing it.

Gee, do you think it's possible the Court is getting cold feet on gun rights because they know they are provoking Americans more and more with each passing day, and are planning to scuttle representative government altogether during this final phase of our conversion into an authoritarian hyperstate?

I see no reason for a gun owner of these rifles to remain a resident of the states that will take them away. It's a decision that must be made: Are my basic rights more important than my job? My house?

Knowing this, I will refuse to comply should the judicial branch seek to abrogate it by fiat or if Congress attempts it via legislative runaround or if the executive branch tries it with a lordly EO. There is a constitutional process in place to revise or remove amendments. If this process isn't followed, I simply won't obey. Come and take them.

I don't know what you can say. As long as Roberts thinks his job isn't to uphold on the letter of the Constitution, but instead- titrate the voters preferences to make sure that progtards policies still stay in play in some magical balanced way cuz the voters voting and getting what they voted for is a terrible thing. then- the US cannot stabilize, heal, and adapt to new circumstances. If Roberts was found to be a tool of the Chinese, it wouldn't surprise me at all. Posted by: naturalfake at June 03, 2025 11:07 AM (iJfKG) 29

Willowed:
Whereas a "manic pixie boy", would probably have a gal calling the cops and getting a restraining order. Not 'zactly rom-com fodder. Think the equivalent in men in the charming, yet hardcore one night stand dude who is magically transformed into loving, monogamous BF (e.g. Wedding Crashers, Best Man)? A sort of "manic, flirty boy." Posted by: Lizzy at June 03, 2025 10:53 AM (F/B4x) You could be right, but I think that's more an example, in both those movies, of the "magic pussy girl". The gal who once the flirty boy sleeps with her realizes how empty his life has been and marriage to her would make his life better. I believe making his life better is always the key component to most rom-coms. Because it makes the girl the hero as it were. Posted by: naturalfake at June 03, 2025 11:08 AM (iJfKG) 31

Here is what I want someone to explain to me.
1. If somebody presents a gay marriage license from VA to an official in CA, the CA official is required to accept that document by the Constitution as valid. However the Constitution does not require that same official to accept a VA issued Concealed Carry License. Even though the Constitution says nothing about marriage, and does mention a right to bear arms. How does that work exactly? 2.The basis of the NFA was the taxation power in the main body of the Constitution, even though the Bill of Rights came after and modified the powers granted in the main body. Can the Taxation power be used to overrule 4th amendment rights also? As far as I can determine the legal answer to both my questions is "Shut your mouth, boy".

I enjoy this kind of painting with the wonderful use of light, detail, composition, and pose of the figures. I find the scene with its romanticized realism draws the viewer in as they notice more and more of all the subtle and bigger details of the painting. Then the questions begin: Who is the girl? What is her situation? She is clearly comfortable and at ease but not wealthy. And what happens after she leaves the alley?
Reminds me of many NC Wyeth illustrations. They show the immediate scene but the sense of what happens next is always in the viewer's mind. Posted by: JTB at June 03, 2025 09:51 AM (yTvNw) 82

Algeria used to provide some of the best briar wood, used for making smoking pipes, in the world. Maybe they still do. No wonder French pipemakers produced such fine pipes; they had the raw material right in their back yard, so to speak.

Wolfus, I read somewhere that the war in Algeria, 1954 to early 60s, really messed up harvesting the briar and it didn't come back to the same degree. (The Frogs fire bombed the area that had the most briar.) There is probably some still available but les than before. Also, What makes Algerian briar so good requires a much longer growth period and years of seasoning. Posted by: JTB at June 03, 2025 10:15 AM (yTvNw) 154

Well, Baltimore, MD, was right out. All the inhabitants there were already enslaved.
In the post-apocalyptic TV series "The Last Ship" (starring Adam "I'll be in my bunk" Baldwin) the black female mayor of Baltimore was discovered to be burning people in a generator so her house would have power. Imagine the levels of outrage if they'd aired that in 2021 instead of 2016. Posted by: Ian S. at June 03, 2025 10:16 AM (2ocoG) 158

I'm watching the second season of True Detective which came out in 2015.

I am really, really, really not liking the reports that Rubio is negotiating with Salvador for the return of one they deported.
No. It'll be 10,000 times worse than the constant howling of the lie "even the government admitted he was wrongfully deported!" It will completely destroy any trust conservatives have that Trump has built. It will be a total win for the left. And he'll completely destroy any chance of future deportations. I really fear that the Uniparty has finally gotten their hooks into just enough of the right people in the administration to stall, delay, misdirect and scuttle any further advance of Trump's agenda. And one of them is now trying to sell this deal with the malicious lie that a little retreat here will lead to big gains later. A false compromise as embarrassingly naive and destructive as Reagan's amnesty deal. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 03, 2025 10:29 AM (uJ9KI) 206

The original on-stage 1964 Felix was . . . Art Carney, famous in the previous decade as Ed Norton. Jack Lemmon played him in the film with Walter Matthau re-creating his role as Oscar. Then came Tony Randall, who made the character a lot more fussy, which was even funnier.
There was a remake a few years ago with Matthew Perry as Oscar and some actor I don't know as Felix, and it was as unfunny as you might imagine. Perry might have made a better Felix if they hadn't wanted the character to seem gay. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 03, 2025 10:49 AM (omVj0) 258

Wiki on Tony Randall:
"Randall was married to his high school sweetheart, Florence Gibbs,[20] from 1938 until her death from cancer on April 18, 1992. They had no children. On November 17, 1995, at the age of 75, he married 25-year-old Heather Harlan,[21] an understudy from the production of The School for Scandal in which Randall was starring at National Actors Theatre; the ceremony was officiated by Rudy Giuliani.[22] They lived in a Manhattan apartment and bought a vacation apartment in Key Biscayne, Florida, in 2003. The couple had two children, Julia, born on April 11, 1997, and Jefferson, born on June 15, 1998, and remained married until Randall's death in May 2004.[23]" Doesn't sound gay to me.

Girl in a Courtyard, Algiers, Philippe Pavy, 1886
Wikipedia, in part, "The painting was one of a series of paintings Pavy produced after he traveled in North Africa in the 1880s. It is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1]" It's a nice painting; again, pretty colors, beautiful detailing & highlighting. (However, posing was probably arduous and the rather fair skinned young women looks like she'd like to kick a pigeon or two.) Would like to see the other paintings in the series & would consider hanging the current offering. Thanks. Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 03, 2025 10:58 AM (NFX2v)

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at June 03, 2025 11:02 AM (5BUO5) The Morning Report — 6/ 3 /25![]() Democrat New York Rep. Ritchie Torres expressed concern during a Monday podcast that his party’s frenzied opposition to President Donald Trump could damage its electoral prospects.Well, as much of the interview shows, Torres and his ilk are still clueless as this next quote clearly indicates; “I feel like there’s a symbiotic relationship between the far left and the far right. The far left has no greater friend than the far right, and the far right has no greater friend than the far left,” he said. “It’s Newton’s laws of physics, right? Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. And I feel like Donald Trump produces a reaction in the form of an emboldened far left. The far left had far less relevance under Biden than it has in the present moment.”There is no such thing as a far left and a far right. The only thing the Left and Democrats crave is absolute power. What the disagreement is is upon how far and how fast they think they can go in order to achieve their goals, and at one point can they just drop all pretense of being the sane, normal defenders of "our precious democracy" and on "the right side of history" bullshit. It's not about messaging, Ritchie. It's about your message and your intentions. As for the Right, far or otherwise, that is normal America, the so-called Silent majority who, if Torres and his ilk have their way will soon become the SILENCED majority. With that shot, we now have the chaser; Jasmine Crockett Vows To Launch Impeachment Inquiry Into Trump If She Becomes Chair Of Influential CommitteeNo need to go beyond that headline, except to say thank God for our enemies. And yet, despite all of the above President Trump still on occasion engages in some head-scratching moves. In particular this drive to keep the Iranian mullahs in power by thinking he can convince them to renegotiate the insane in the first place Nuclear deal. The U.S. will reportedly allow Iran to enrich civilian-grade uranium in a proposed nuclear deal, marking a major concession from American negotiators, sources told Axios on Monday. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly offered the deal to Iranian officials Saturday, with the proposal apparently including provisions to restrict uranium enrichment to civilian-grade 3% purity in strictly above-ground sites, and also to allow oversight from the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA), two sources with direct knowledge of the deal told Axios. Trump administration officials have previously insisted that any possible deal with Iran would not permit domestic enrichment.Iran does not need nuclear fuel. It''s swimming on top on an ocean of oil and natural gas. It wants nukes in order to do to Israel and the West what the Egyptian illegal alien Religion of Peace Peacenik did to that elderly Jewish couple in Boulder Colorado. The only thing Iran needs is regime change. No I do not mean via American boots on the ground. And that should've happened long long ago, but alas here we are. And who the fuck is Steve Witkoff. In one sense I understand Trump going to an outsider and not trusting a DC Foggy Bottom bottom dweller the likes of whom have burned him in the past and likely are still infesting all if not most of that town and in particular the State Dept. But Witkoff likely has ulterior motives, such as that potential deal of transforming Gaza into Monte Carlo 2 as well as having some shady dealings with the Qataris IIRC. Ugh. In any case Psaki-Psircling back to Boulder Colorado, this is a golden opportunity for Trump to investigate and completely shut down the sources of incitement from CAIR to SJP, to a whole host of domestic scum and thugs who have a hate on not just for Jews but for America itself and have for years. Pull on the thread and the whole rotten tapestry will unravel. I'm sure beyond Soros you have the panoply of charitable foundations that have funded the poisoning of the Ameican mind for generations. It's a target rich environment. Yeah, go after Harvard but these organizations are a big part of the problem.

Trump wouldn’t do anything on Iran without Israel’s approval or at least ‘meh’ acquiesce. I’d love to see a much harder line and the IDF launch a massive attack to rip the nuclear heart out of these swine.
It. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen. Israel barely has the stomach to fight a gaggle of subhuman trogs who directly started a war. Israel ain’t going to war against a much bigger, much richer, much more internationally influential country that hasn’t directly drew blood. The reality is that when it comes to Iran, the strategy of both the USA and Israel is managed resistance, delay delay delay, lots of dick-jerking, and kicking the can down the road. Maybe at some point there will have to be a reckoning. But nobody has the stomach for it now. Posted by: Elric the Bladiest Blade at June 03, 2025 07:57 AM (Pr7Pr) 18

HA has been following an interesting story about Starmer in the UK.

Except that they’ve arrested four suspects, and they’re all Ukrainians! And better yet, all four are young “pretty boys” who seem to be male prostitutes, and the attack is starting to look a lot more personal than political. Love life gone bad, Prime Minister?

Possibly contrarian take:
Dem politicians are losing the favor of their base because they don't actually "oppose" Trump. They are truly crappy opposition. They yell and scream and bitch and moan, they play silly parlor tricks, always trying to win on the cheap, always getting caught in lies.... so there's a strong demand for actual Opposition out there.

Well, this might be in the Pollyanna zone, but perhaps Trump is feeding the Iranians the rope to hang themselves. Offer the deal upfront, and if they refuse to agree or fail to abide by the terms, then the hammer drops.

Polls say Demorats are not popular...why!? We are for: Healthcare for all, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Unions, Voting Rights. How is this unpopular?
Because we're not viewed as fighters. We don't have a leader right now or a coherent message. I think/hope that will change as we near the midterms. Theory vs practice, probably. Anyone can promise stuff, but what is actually delivered (or not) makes an impact on people's opinions of the promisers. We need to message more like a high school football hero, and less like the debate team members.... sad but true. repukes are treated like white men, dems are treated like women and POC - we have to be ten times as good to be considered half as good. Democratic policies always poll well, but not Democrats. People don't perceive us as for those things. They have other associations, which I won't get into now because it will piss people off. Who cares about being popular? Winning elections is more important Because of propaganda. Democrats have no media to counter the right wing noise machine that has been at it for many decades.

>>Patel’s efforts reflect the America First movement’s demand to defang the FBI’s politicized machinery, restore public trust, and refocus the bureau on real threats to national security.
I'm surprised that the discovery senior members of a previous FBI adminisration, Comey, McCabe and others, intentionally hid Russia collusion exculpatory information on the FBI records keeping system, Sentinel, and then lied about it to investigators, Congress and basically us, isn't getting more coverage. At least in conservative media. I realize Russia collusion is old news but that level of corruption is a big deal.

Court records reveal that during his arraignment, Gao was ordered to surrender his Chinese passport and remain within the state. The passport he turned over had a serial number ending in “1332.” Gao later failed to appear for scheduled court hearings on March 6 and April 24. Last Friday, federal prosecutors disclosed that Gao boarded a Delta flight from Detroit International Airport to Shanghai, China, on January 19, using a different Chinese passport with a serial number ending in “7137.”
My guess is many Chinese have double passports. Posted by: rhennigantx at June 03, 2025 08:17 AM (gbOdA) 52

Just admit what you want is medical slavery, forcing doctors / hospitals to treat everyone at no cost. Social Security - A Ponzi scheme. Medicare, Medicaid - Utterly loaded with bankrupting fraud which you will not allow to be fixed. Unions - Lazy parasite bosses who use dues as a slush fund for Dems. Voting rights - You want illegals and criminals to vote. You steal elections and fight any attempt at an honest vote count.

Since they knew attacking Trump wasn’t working, the left put a huge amount of energy attacking Elon Musk. So what was the good of that now that Musk has said “ok I’m going back to business”. ???
Posted by: Tom Servo at June 03, 2025 08:21 AM (i5oKA) They knew that Musk was leaving the government at the end of May. They counted, reasonably, on their supporters not paying attention to this. They attack Musk, he leaves on schedule, they declare that they've achieved a victory. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at June 03, 2025 08:33 AM (ExV1e) 117

I'd imagine that kind of punishment sends a message to anyone one else rich and famous that working with Trump is going to severely hurt you. It's a scare tactic.
Posted by: Moron Analyst at June 03, 2025 08:29 AM (ycI94) In terms of scaring a few rich people away, possibly effective; but anyone who isn’t in by now won’t ever be. Politically, it’s another 20/80 issue where their efforts only helped convince the majority that Democrats are unhinged lunatics that should be shunned.

The New Republic wants you to be outraged that only some 700 of those arrested by ICE in MA had criminal records.
You know, other than the federal crime of illegal entry, of course. But over 50% had ADDITIONAL crimes. 100% have at least 1 crime. Over 50% have 2 or more crimes. And the federal Clown Judges are bending over backwards, ignoring all law, rules and precedent to protect them. Not you. Criminsls. Criminal illegals are more important than American citizens.

I had a crazy thought late yesterday. What if the autopen was used to cover-up FJB's infirmities? Did his actual signature begin to significantly change as the months went by in his term? Autopen could cover that up. How many documents supposedly signed by FJB have identical - autopen- signatures? Did all FJB signatures become identical after some date? When?

In the local new commentary after yesterday afternoon's press conference, they mentioned the same state and federal prosecution division of charges approach was used on the Colorado Springs nightclub shooter. Specifically, that they used the threat of federal charges with death penalty ensured a swift plea deal on state charges (IIRC)to avoid a lengthy trial. The feds haven't said they'd charge him with something that could result in the death penalty yet, though. I would prefer death penalty, but after watching Colorado take years to finally convict the King Soopers shooter, can understand the desire for a plea deal to make this guy go away.

Jimmy Carter was actually responsible for taking down a large part of the CIA operational wing because they had been out of control for many years. USAID and an army of basically unregulated NGOs were built as a replacement. Regime change and other dirty tricks don't pull themselves. Guys like Fauci and Epstein and groups like Clinton Foundation are the public faces of evil that goes a lot deeper. That's why they are so hard to prosecute. The family has a lot of buffers, Senator.

Read today that Trump has decided not to garnish SS payments for unpaid student loans. And I’m like whaaaa? People still have student loans while collecting SS? Ho Lee Fuk.
How is this even possible. To be old enough to collect SS you would have gone to college, at the latest, in the 80s. Even the most expensive schools at the time cost no more than $15K a year all in. And the average was more like $10k. How the fuck do you still owe money on that 40+ years later? Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at June 03, 2025 09:20 AM (VYKOS) 287

You can not satire reality: "Best and Brightest"
https://tinyurl.com/2a73afmx Before the move, all of her education was taught in Arabic. As with most high school graduation prerequisites, a foreign language class was required at Maclaren. Habiba not only worked to improve her English, but she also signed up to learn German. “People around me were impressed by my ability to learn two new languages at the same time,” she wrote in her application for The Gazette’s Best and Brightest scholarship application, “but in reality, I was struggling.” In fact, Habiba described her sophomore year as a social and academic disaster. Her inability to speak fluent English meant she had no friends and was often alone. Since then, she reaches out to new students to make them feel welcome. A lot has changed since those early days, Habiba organizes events that build school spirit, she started an Arabic club and participates as a Big Sister helping middle school students feel more comfortable with high school.

Valued at $1.5 billion after a $445 million investment by Microsoft, the company claimed to leverage artificial intelligence to generate custom apps in 'days or weeks,' which would produce functional code that had less human involvement. Now they've gone cloth-off... as Bloomberg reports they had a 'fake it till you make it' strategy while having inflated 2024 revenue projections by 300%.

These payments included both loan disbursements and grant funds. Officials identified the problem by cross-referencing student aid records with the Social Security Death Index. They stated that the lack of real-time data sharing contributed to erroneous payments, as outdated records failed to flag recipients who had died, allowing automatic disbursements to proceed." Yeah.

MP4, I too loved Mom -- not only because it was actually funny, with humor based in character, but also for its dramatic moments. When Miss Linda and I bugged out for the hurricane in '21, one of the Birmingham channels had episodes five nights a week in the early evening, and I looked forward to spending time with the characters after dinner.

05:40 AM (O7YUW) - I'm familiar. Mrs. BD still has a few relatives in Canada. Most, however, have moved to Israel. I still have some distant Canadian cousins whom I haven't heard from in decades. For all I know, they've left as well. In fact, we're about to head out the door now to lunch with Mrs. BD's niece and her husband who left Canada last year. l8r.

a person could travel 19,337 kilometres on an e-bike, or roughly one and a quarter times around the planet.
Perhaps the Perfesser might mention the book Around the World on a Bicycle by Thomas Stevens. He began his journey in 1884 on a 'penny-farthing' (big front wheel, small rear wheel). Volume 1 takes him from San Francisco to Tehran and Volume 2 carries him the rest of the way. It's available on Project Gutenberg, but also as a physical book. I've had a copy for over a decade, but never yet finished it. Not because it's bad, but because I am lazy.

@21/FenelonSpoke: "Thanks, The old broken phone didn't have a physical SIM. It is an e-SIM."
Hopefully the battery will just die by the time you need to ship it then. Thanks for the reminder about e-SIMs being a thing. I'd completely forgotten that was an option. I ordered my new (and first ever) smart phone with a physical SIM because I don't trust that the phone wouldn't glitch and lose track of the e-SIM credentials at some point in the future, causing me a whole mess of trouble. That and if the phone got damaged, I knew I could move the SIM to a new replacement phone and keep on truckin'. Oh, and by the way, that phone has become quite useful for things like "reminder alarms", using Waze as a backup GPS, receiving messages and emails from dispatch, and a few other practical things. I've seen them become focus-points (even addictions) for some people though, something I will stalwartly avoid. Apps that get yappy at me with too many notifications get "notifications" permission removed from them. I did just fine in life without those notifications before, so I don't need them now. Have to keep that in mind. Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at June 03, 2025 06:03 AM (O7YUW) 40

Speaking of trees talking to people, there was a project queued up and completed about eight years back at a scout camp to build a teaching area (finally), including a pavilion for instructing the scout skills merit badges (orienteering, first aid, camping, cooking, pioneering and the like). To do this would involve (gasp!) cutting down some trees. Just prior to the start of the building, when the plans had been announced, former and current members of both the nature and scout skills instructional staff had gone on a hair shirt-donning, rending of garments, and loud wailing kick in an online forum dedicated to said camp about "those poor trees". Rather than propose any workable alternate path, they fixated on "What about the trees?" and one went so far as to warn that "the trees would extract their revenge". A scout from my troop, who was in charge of the scout skills' program, came into this de facto wake for the doomed trees to warn those speaking of trees getting "their revenge" that they had best knock that off if they had any intention of being employed at said camp for the upcoming summer. The wailing of the banshees stopped right quick. Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) at June 03, 2025 06:06 AM (xG4kz) 42

@19/NR Pax: "Looked up the potential cost of going to Netgear's headquarters to inflict mortal terror upon them."
Reminds me of many many years ago in the 90's when I bought one of the first CD-R drives (an external) from Yamaha, their CD-R 100. It had cost me $1,000 USD back in 1996 ('97?) and it died on me just after one year, just past the warranty period. I contacted the company. They told me it would be $350 just as a bench charge to look at it to see what it would take to repair it. I got an RMA number just in case I decided I actually wanted to go through with the repair, but by that point, there were replacement drives on the market by multiple manufacturers that were priced less than the blasted bench charge from Yamaha, so I bought a Plextor and kept soldiering on. I was sorely tempted to take that Yamaha drive to the range and put a few .50 caliber holes in it and send it back with the RMA number with a post-it note that said, "RMA THIS (you bastards!)" But... I didn't want them to actually charge me that $350 bench charge, and they might have. :-) Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at June 03, 2025 06:17 AM (O7YUW) 50

I came up with a Bible verse where Jesus laid his hands on the transgender and said "Be healed." His body was restored, the hormones poisoning him were flushed out and the demons whispering in his ears were banished.

Why do you need a fake Bible verse to affirm your brokenness? That means that you fundamentally accept that Scripture is a valid foundation for ordering your affairs.

I needed to create a dummy database for my ERP, I fed in the criteria to ChatGpt and it was able to spit out a 1000 entry database in seconds, reviewed the database, asked to modify it, and it performed the modifications and spit out the new DB in a couple of seconds.
Once my program is ready, I will take manufactured price lists and feed them into chatgpt to create the final master vendor database and subsequent db updates. The time saved is enormous.

Posted by: stu-mick-o-sucks at June 03, 2025 09:29 AM (w9Wax) Monday Overnight Open Thread - June 2, 2025 [Doof]![]() Long Extension Cord? Electric Ferry Boat ![]() An electric ferryboat has gone from Spain to Africa and back in the same day, proving decarbonization of strait crossings is possible. The Swedish-made vessel traveled from Sotogrande, Spain, to Ceuta, North Africa-a 24-nautical mile trip-in just over one hour, matching the speed of conventional fast ferries. After recharging, the vessel returned to the Spanish mainland the same day. GNN previously reported on the Candela P-12 electric ferryboat entering service in Stockholm's public transport system ahead of its mass-production roll out last year. In 2023, it had passed all of its performance tests with flying colors, achieving 30 knots per-hour with a battery life of 50 knots. *** Beneath the surface of the Candela, two hydrofoils-or underwater wings-lift the C-8 above the water, drastically reducing drag and cutting energy consumption by 80% over conventional fast vessels. This breakthrough enables the long electric range needed to cross the Strait of Gibraltar-one of the world's busiest shipping lanes-for the first time.What say you, boat-loving Hordelings? IS this actually a cool thing, or another electric fad?
Hell Yeah
![]() A seasoned paraglider miraculously survived a rare and dangerous phenomenon that saw him being sucked up by clouds to an altitude of 28,210 feet (8,600 meters). Photos and videos of Chinese paraglider Liu Ge trying to keep his cool (pun intended) as he experienced dangerously low levels of oxygen and temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius (-40 Fahrenheit) went viral on social media this week. In them, the experienced paraglider's clothes and face are covered with ice, and he struggles to breathe and keep from passing out because of the low oxygen. On May 24th, Liu Ge took off from about 3,000 meters in the Qilian Mountains, on the border between western Gansu and northeastern Qinghai, but as he was paragliding, a cumulonimbus cloud appeared behind him and he ended up being lifted higher and higher, above the clouds. 'Cloud suck' is a well-documented phenomenon where paragliders and hang gliders experience a significant lift caused by the thermals under cumulus clouds, especially towering cumulus and cumulonimbus. It is typically associated with an increase in thermal updraft velocity near cloud base. Pilots who have experienced the phenomenon have reported being unable to descend in strong cloud suck, even after bringing the canopies of their gliders into deep spiral, which would normally result in a rapid descent. Because he didn't plan on going up to extreme altitudes - Chinese regulations restrict flights to below 16,405 feet (5,000 meters) - Liu Ge didn't have an oxygen mask or thick clothing to help him endure the freezing temperatures and low oxygen concentration. Still, he remained in contact with friends on the ground via intercom and was eventually able to descend. *** Although many were talking about his flight being a record-breaking one for paragliding, Liu Ge pleaded with social media users to stop making a big deal out of it. He probably fears that his feat could have serious legal repercussions.I saw Cloud Suck open for... ![]() Born on this date in 1960: Tony Hadley, English pop singer-songwriter with Spandau Ballet Born on this date in 1959: Michael Steele, American bassist, guitarist, songwriter, and singer who began her professional career as Micki Steele in the teen-girl band the Runaways.

Evening, folken,
We just finished watching Hitchcock's 1956 The Man Who Knew Too Much, w/ James Stewart and Doris Day. A fine film, beautifully paced and filmed. And unlike in today's movies, you can actually *see* what is going on, even in indoor scenes. Contrast the glop that is The Little Stranger, a weird film set in 1948 Britain. Everything in it is murky and grim, misty, and poorly lit. Except for certain indoor scenes, where the windows glare with outdoor light but the room is not lit inside, so you can't make out faces easily there either. I am beginning to believe modern filmmakers do this to conceal some poor technique or cheapness of makeup or acting or sets. Plus Ruth Wilson, talented though she is, looks something like a frog. I would not recommend this movie. Posted by: Ox Head, House, Camel, etc. at June 02, 2025 10:15 PM (omVj0) 42

I just saw this discussion at the end of the Paris thread, and had a point to contribute:
Napoleon had the right idea (right after the Terror) about how to control violent mobs: shoot the first 300, then you won't be able to find the second 300. Posted by: Beverly ----- There is almost no way this line of thinking can be justified. Within 300 people it is highly unlikely that they all deserved to be killed. And even more unlikely that the next 300 also deserved to be killed. And that's without getting into what constitutes a "violent mob." Posted by: Thiker We had similar situation with BLM rioters and Kyle Rittenhouse. Shot 3 people, all were convicted felons, with charges like domestic battery, sex crimes with children, and burglary. If you shot into a crowd of BLM protestors during the day, who weren't rioting, results may differ, but THAT crew, coming in during the evening? I bet the world would be a better place with the vast majority out of 300 removed. Posted by: Based Moron at June 02, 2025 10:19 PM (ycI94) 61

There's a new term for "Jew."
Mark Steyn had a great rant about this on his website this morning. credentialed journalists are trained in headline-writing to replace long cumbersome descriptors with something punchier.

I called my regular doctor this am, and wonder upon wonders, got an appointment for Wednesday morning. I fully expected to be told it would be at least three weeks.
The occasion? I think I have symptoms of a mild hernia. No pain or discoloration, but it's sort of noticeable to me. I'm hoping the surgery will be as mild and that there'll be no real discomfort afterward. Anyhow, I'll see what the dr. has to say. I'd made an appt. with the Oak Street Health people this weekend, but it's not until the 10th. If my regular guy doesn't reschedule, I'll call OSH on Wed. afternoon and cancel. Anybody ever use them?

When I went to Airborne School, on one of the 5 jumps a guy got stuck in an updraft. He just hung up there in the air at about 500 feet for several minutes before he finally descended.
That was no mean feat, because the military static-line parachute is designed to deliver large numbers of soldiers from the airplanes to the ground with a uniform drift (so they don't get entangled with each other) as quickly as possible (so they don't get shot in the air) with an acceptable percentage of injuries. So it's fairly porous and you fall pretty fast. Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at June 02, 2025 10:33 PM (eStot) 111

I had a detached retina once. The way they fix it is to fill your eye with pressurized gas to push the retina back onto the back of the eyeball. But your eye is accustomed to focusing through fluid and it can't see through gas. So at first, you have one eye that can see and one eye that can't -- everything is just gray. Then the eye with the gas starts to fill up with fluid over the next few weeks. Now, we're not aware of it, but the lens projects what it sees upside down on the back of the eyeball, and the nerves/brain correct it. So as the fluid starts to fill up the eyeball, it seems like it's filling up from the top down. And you get to a point, after a couple of weeks, when the eye is about half full, and you can tilt your head back and see through the top half of your eye, while the bottom half is still opaque. It take a lot of getting used to. Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at June 02, 2025 10:47 PM (eStot) 159

One of the more intriguing ideas I heard suggested when electric cars were becoming more mainstream (and this is something that could never be done, because people are terrible and ruin everything), was the idea of swappable batteries. Rather than try to make the charging faster, drop off your used up batteries, and pop in new, fully charged batteries.
Impractical for cars, again because people are terrible (and no doubt there are about a million snags that would need to be worked out), but it might be feasible in limited application, and a ferry might be one of them. Oh, and 30 knots per hour, with a battery life of 50 knots? They don't quite get what a knot is, do they? Posted by: No One of Consequence at June 02, 2025 10:52 PM (OGOaV) 177

This afternoon during my nap, I was apparently coming up with funny riffs on Mission: Impossible the TV show, including having Barney talk like that Kevin comedian who does the Chase credit card spots. Darned if I can remember any of the lines. Then I became aware I somehow had drawn a thin line of blood along my throat and under my chin with an X-Acto knife, which in real life I don't own one of. I asked a passerby, "Does this look bad?" And he said, "Yeah, it's bad."
Then I realized it was 6:30 pm, that I had a show to do (maybe that was the reason for the MI jokes) at 7:00, and my watch had not only stopped, the crystal had come loose and the minute hand was dislodged.

JWM Posted by: jwm at June 02, 2025 10:47 PM (qYIey) In the 1920s the US Navy believed it was oh so clever installing turbo-electric propulsion in battleships and battle cruisers. The battle cruisers were mostly canceled due to naval treaties. Two were modified into aircraft carriers, the USS Lexington and USS Saratoga. Saratoga was torpedoed by Jap subs several times in 1942, shorting-out and messing-up the electrical stuff. Back to a West Coast port each time for the necessary repairs. This is why Saratoga was not available for Midway, one of the carrier battles off Guadalcanal, and other missions in the latter half of 1942. Clever.

About that electric ferry toy. Anyone see this last month?
A majority of countries at the IMO (That's the UN Extortion Entity) voted on Friday to approve a scheme that from 2028 will charge ships a penalty of $380 per metric tonne on every extra tonne of CO2-equivalent they emit above a fixed emissions threshold, plus a penalty of $100 a tonne on emissions above a stricter emissions limit. The deal is expected to generate up to $40bn in fees from 2030, some of which will go towards making expensive zero-emission fuels more affordable.

and a ferry might be one of them.
Yes, specifically when both batteries are owned by the same person or company. The whole idea of stopping at a gas station and getting a battery that was exchanged earlier by someone else and recharged could only have come from someone who never expected to use an electric car themselves. Such a system would quickly divert all good batteries to a grey market, leaving only failing batteries in the legit pipeline. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at June 02, 2025 10:57 PM (EXyHK) 199

I had this surgery about 4 years ago. They have to cut into your abdomen and pull your intestine out of your scrotum, assuming you're male. The surgery is pretty routine, but your balls and your abdomen still hurt like hell for several weeks.
Posted by: Ralph at June 02, 2025 *** Great, Ralph. Now I'm gonna have nightmares. This mild small bulge is higher up, on my belly near my crotch hair, not down into my scrotum (at least I hope it's not, and I think I'd know). The weird thing is that I've always kept my gut muscles in good tone with exercise, and I am not overweight in the least, so whatever weakness of abdominal wall must be genetic.

An overlooked feature of the electric ferry is that it has to spend a good part of the day in North Africa. And if there are problems with the charging, then overnight. Doesn't sound like a boat I would want to depend on.
Posted by: haffhowershower at June 02, 2025 11:32 PM (144I4) 275
"What say you, boat-loving Hordelings? IS this actually a cool thing, or another electric fad?"
The proponents doesn't really understand that having electric motors on vehicles doesn't auto reduce carbon emissions. Unless you're getting your electricity from "renewables" (Wind, Solar, Hydro) they burned hydrocarbons to produce it - you're just moving the location of the emission from the vehicles to a central plant. Depending on where you live, on average 20-30% of your electricity is "renewables" sourced. That really can't be increased much more with current (no pun intended) tech because hydro is actually being curtailed for environmental reasons (usually an endangered species) and Wind & Solar are intermittent - so over-reliance results in brown and black-outs.

Good shop day today. Crawled under the Zip Van, and got the fuel tank lowered to the ground. It had about 3 gallons of very nasty smelling orange fuel in it. I emptied it into the burn barrel, and had a cheery blaze for an hour or so. Bottom of tank was covered in gunk. I poured in about a pint of caustic soda "liquor", the saturated caustic solution on top of a pail of what was once flake lye. Plus some crystalline crust. Added several gallons of water.
Put the tank on my redneck firepit, loaded with dry wood. Got a burn going, and the tanked boiled merrily for about an hour until the wood burned down. Dumped out the hot caustic, now a nice shade of diarrhea brown. Three rinses of cold water and it ran clear. You can now see bare metal on the bottom inside!

People keep saying that "batteries are bad" because: "batteries don't create energy. batteries consume energy." Nothing. Creates. Energy. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. "Energy production" and "energy consumption" are economic terms — not physics terms. We don't actually produce or consume energy. We direct energy. The function of a battery is not upstream energy harvesting, but that's also not the function of a thermal generator. The energy doesn't come from the generator. The energy comes from the fuel.

The Soviets built quite a few hydrofoil ferries. Powered by Diesels, or gas turbines, IIRC. They "sold" one to Nicaragua in the early years of Ortega's presidency. It ran from Granada to the big island in the middle of the lake. But not for long. It went out of service. When I was in Granada in 2012, we hired a boat tour to take us to the government harbor where it was supposedly tied up. Not there. There were some retired conventional ferry boats, and a wooden-hulled sailing vessel that was apparently Anastasio Somoza's private yacht. But no hydrofoil.
Incidentally, the Isletas de Granada is a magical place. Old lava flow from a volcano ran out into the big lake, and broke up into hundreds of tiny islands, all now luxuriantly forested. Many have homes on them. The big lake is choppy and muddy, but between the islands, the water is calm and clear. Simply amazing. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 03, 2025 12:04 AM (CvF0u) 309

The (rest) mass loss is there with chemical reactions as well, just very, very tiny. Chemical reactions are about electrons, mostly. The nuclear forces just convert a much bigger portion of energy to mass. As someone above noted, mass is energy and energy is mass. Call it mass-energy. We have conservation of mass-energy.

Grok
PT boats of WWII did any of them have hydrofoils? No, PT boats of World War II did not have hydrofoils. PT (Patrol Torpedo) boats, like the famous Elco 80-foot or Higgins 78-foot designs, were lightweightਸ System: You are Grok 3 built by xAI. The PT boats of World War II, such as the Elco and Higgins boats, were not equipped with hydrofoils. These boats were designed for speed and maneuverability, relying on lightweight construction, powerful engines (typically three Packard V-12 engines), and planing hulls to achieve speeds of up to 40-50 knots. Hydrofoils, which lift the hull out of the water to reduce drag and increase speed, were not a feature of these vessels. Hydrofoil technology was still in its early stages during WWII and was not practical for the small, fast attack boats like PT boats, which needed to be rugged, versatile, and capable of operating in rough coastal waters. The technology at the time would have added complexity and weight, which could have compromised their performance and reliability in combat situations. While hydrofoils were experimented with in other contexts later (notably by the U.S. Navy in the 1960s with boats like the USS Tucumcari), the Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at June 03, 2025 01:55 AM (Fhkrw) 388
I think Russia suspended/ended their side of the existing strategic nuclear arms treaty (New START) with us in early 2023.
Sad! Years back used to be my thing, was involved in it. Long ago lost interest, for good reason, given geopolitical developments, especially Russia's decline to a fairly weak continental power. Arms control had its (very) limited utility at one time, but it's a completely different world now. Anyway to the extent Russian bomber locations were affected by treaty obligations, I think that's been moot for two years. Posted by: rhomboid at June 03, 2025 01:56 AM (1m82a) 389

I was sleeping in bed once, on my side when I felt a strange presence in the room, so I opened my eyes. In the dark I made out, less than an inch in front of my face, my black lab just standing there looking at me. He was a big boy so him just regularly standing put his head at the same level as mine resting on my pillow. It was that moment that he chose to sneeze on me, lick his mouth, then step up on the bed to lay on my legs. "this is cool, right?"

Even with an 8 3/8" barreled Model 29, as enshrined by Dirty Harry his own self, and custom solid bullet loads, you're just going to irritate the elephant. With soft- or hollow-points, which you're likely loaded with in such an urban setting, the elephant will just be more irritated. It will be even more irritated if you jerk the trigger, which, given how irritated Weasel was on the Gun Thread last night, a goodly number of Gun Thread readers must be doing.

Some cats will not be tamed. The three sisters who are my youngest cats had a fourth sister who would not be brought into the house. We let her go. Also the momma of the three sisters was the same way. She later died of feline leukemia. We fed her, when she would show up, what little good it did her, but kept her away from her now grown kittens.

She is like many ... including some here. She has never faced personal danger in her life. She has no concept of it. She's mildly retarded - we can all see that. But that's not even the biggest thing with Greta. She views the world from a lens where she faces no personal danger. That's a thing - not all that unique. Stupid, in the macro sense. But not unique.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 02, 2025 08:36 PM (2VST1) Absolutely correct. It's kind of like one of those pictures with trick perspective: you know, do you see a vase or two faces in profile? If, in this case, you see that the elephant's ass is partially blocked by the display, you are normal and well-adjusted. If you see an elephant with an ass that looks like it was bitten off by a killer whale, then you obviously have psychopathic tendencies, and probably cheered when the hunter shot Bambi's mother. If you're in the latter category, get help. Posted by: Paco at June 02, 2025 08:45 PM (mADJX) 169

212 Amy Pond had the best character arc of any Dr Who companion, ever.
Posted by: Tom Servo at June 02, 2025 09:04 PM (i5oKA) Yes, her story was tightly integrated from start to finish. I don't know how they wrote it, but it seemed like they had her entire arc outlined before the series began. Posted by: SpeakingOf at June 02, 2025 09:10 PM (6ydKt) 227
Dr. who was always supposed to be a campy, surrealistic show. If you like that sort of thing, then it’s been pretty good from its inception for what it was. The issue is it started to take itself way too seriously in the modern incarnation.
But having said, of the modern era I’d rate Tennnet, Smith, Ecclston and Capaldi 1 to 4 in that order, Whitaker and the gay dude are not worth a second of thought or consideration. Posted by: Thomas Bender at June 02, 2025 09:12 PM (XV/Pl) 228

They did say if it really goes off, the surge up the Columbia will probably take out Portland downtown by the river. So we have that to look forward to someday Posted by: Kindltot at June 02, 2025 09:07 PM (D7oie) They have GPS sensors in Wash/Oregon area and they show that strain built up gets bled out up there with tiny microquake slips as the area rotates against the rest of continental NA.

It was in fact "Gumbo" cooked by her mamma's hand the night before. And it had Okra...and it was beyond awesome.

Shortly thereafter, "French soccer fans" began setting cars on fire, attacking cops, and looting sneaker stores. Some Racists say that these were not French soccer fans at all, but illegal alien conquerors using the cover of crowds to loot and pillage like the barbarians of old.
Adrien BezThe cop was apparently put into a medically-induced coma in order to treat his extensive burns and injuries. "Fusion Ken" Dilanian -- who, along with fellow propagandist/Deep State operative Natasha Betrand, was FusionGPS's main man for getting its rancid disinformation into the press -- is thinking along similar lines with regard to the pro-Palestinian Muslim illegal immigrant who set Jews on fire. Isn't the real problem the fact that Elon Musk's company once sold some flame-throwers, when you think about it? Note: the flame-thrower used here was a DIY "makeshift" weapon, not the one sold by Elon Musk, so... what the fuck even is this?

Why did they pick the soccer game to start freaking out and burning stuff down? They're just using that as cover? If there was no reason for the rioting to start, there will never be a reason for it to end. If I were a frenchy, that would give me pause.

During the riots in Paris last night, in many shots, there doesn't appear to be an ethnic French person in sight.
The violence and arsons appear to be nearly entirely the work of foreigners or French citizens of migration background. They've assimilated so well, they're taking over the hooligan jobs of the ethnic French! We should be inspired to rise up to their example!

I asked Grok to come up with a Shakespearean sonnet to describe what happened in Paris last night -- it took approximately five seconds to generate this.
Alas, fair Paris, city of delight, Last eve thy streets did burn with chaos’ flame, Where joy for vict’ry turned to savage fight, And revels wild did tarnish thy good name. On Champs-Élysées, where the throngs did sing, For PSG’s great triumph in the game, The mob’s exulting took a darker wing, With fire and riot, casting France to shame. Two souls, untimely, met their mortal end, And hundreds more with wounds did bear the cost, While officers, with tear gas, sought to mend The peace that hooligans and hate had lost. O Paris, mourn thy night of broken peace, May concord soon restore thy heart’s release. I think all of us are gonna be out of a job soon unless someone smacks it across the head with a fax machine from 1993. Posted by: Big Fat Meanie at June 02, 2025 06:38 PM (qwx/I) 25

These French riots are truly terrible. Hopefully it'll help Le Pen and the French Right gain that little bit more vote to actually seize power and start fixing shit. Thankfully, the American Left has moved from the similarly destructive BLM riots and is adopting much more embarrassing ideas:
@halfwaypost.bsky.social BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly worried thousands of protesters will come to his birthday parade dressed as chickens and handing out free tacos to everyone. I forgot about protesters! That military parade has had me upset but now I realise protesters can make it a great day. Especially with this type of creative TACO protest. All anti-trump seamstresses and tailors,should start making chicken suits for the protestors. We could have thousands by 6/14! He should be worried the military doesn't honor their oath and arrest him as a domestic enemy for his attacks on the constitution. Actually, NO KINGS is not hosting events in D.C. on 6/14. Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, or your local NO KINGS protest!!!

Rush Limbaugh said several things on repeat that I've never forgotten, and I was a liberal at the time I first began listening to him. One of the 1st things he said that resonated with me was "Public safety is the FIRST job of government. Don't EVER vote to approve one of those "penny sales tax raises" for fire and police departments. Public safety should be the FIRST dollars spent...have a vote for "penny sales tax raises" to see if the public wants anything else beyond public safety.
Most of the world governments are no longer focused on basics like public safety. In some parts of the US, the riots will eventually be just as bad as what Paris saw last night--some of our governments aren't serious. Posted by: Crusader at June 02, 2025 06:50 PM (TN0g+) 85

I seem to recall that kissing the pope's ring was a thing until Pope Frankie stopped the tradition due to his fear of covid. I imagine you'd have to grasp his hand to lessen the risk of missing the target.
Posted by: Chuck Martel at June 02, 2025 07:11 PM (Dv3i1) There's video of him out there, pulling his hand back every time someone tried to kiss it.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at June 02, 2025 10:29 PM (XV/Pl) Corporations Are Feeling Less "Pride" this June for Some ReasonIt's almost as if corporate "Pride" bombing was always an empty political gesture. How is your Shame Month going so far? PBS is shrieking that it's Trans Holocaust (TM) All Over Again (TM). They're propagandizing your children on your taxpayer dime, of course. See the end of the post for that.It's June, so it's natural that PBS would kick off "Pride Month" by broadcasting a completely one-sided interview condemning Trump's "horrific" actions directed at the T in LGBT. On PBS "News," transgenderism is almost always celebrated and defended. Somehow, it's not one side of an ideological battle. The Left thinks there's just glorious LGBTQ orthodoxy, and there are hateful bigots who don't deserve any air time. Here's how Sunday's PBS News Weekend kicked off the show with openly gay anchorman John Yang:But other corporations whose income is not forceably extracted from the public seem less "courageous." Including 12 NFL teams.The half-hour show concluded with the pro-Pride package, which began like this: MLFootball Some very large corporations have also resisted changing their corporate logos to "pride" designs:
A lot of game companies stared into the abyss and decided that maybe they'd skip out on divisive culture war messaging this year:

I think the pedo-pervert Pride movement has been neutered to a degree, in part because of cuts to leftwing slush funds like USAID and the billions to colleges.

Jonathan Van Ness is not “nonbinary’. He’s a gay man who will do anything for attention. He’s one of the five gays in that Queer Eye makeover show. In the earlier seasons, he never claimed to be nonbinary, didn’t wear women’s clothes, and was just a gay man — and not even that effeminate. I guess at some point he decided that he was living a lie for 30 fucking years, and was really nonbinary. Yea ok. He became nonbinary for attention and career opportunities.

It's almost as if corporate "Pride" bombing was always an empty political gesture.
Perhaps with a lot of management, but there is a core in almost every corporation that is 100% committed to this insanity, and many of them are in HR, where they can do a lot of damage. And...I think they are laying low, hoping to wait out the rest of America and return to their lunacy once that big meanie Trump is gone.

Sports teams are really uneven on this, a bunch of baseball teams went full queer but some did not. I think they are going based on their owner's whims more than trends, possibly boards being convinced by the HR department still.
But several big parades were canceled because of lack of sponsorship as well. Basically most companies are giving up on the full in on perversion as a write off, and only a few are clinging to it.

A modest list of some of the reasons I reject "Pride" month.
1. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. Celebrate sin? No thanks. 2. Engaging in gay sex is a sin. Ditto 3. Even if you don't care about what the Bible says, normal people don't define themselves by their sexual practices and it is no reason to 'celebrate" someone. 4. 'Pride month' rejects the fact that the world needs traditional families to survive. 5. "You must accept Gay" quickly turned in to "you must accept trans" which quickly turned to "you must let mentally ill grown men pee and shower with your high school aged daughter", which quickly turned to "there's nothing wrong with grooming grade-school aged children". Posted by: LASue at June 02, 2025 06:06 PM (lCppi) 131

So, there was that Omar Mateen mass murder at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. But that's the only serious Islamic terrorist attack on American gays that I can remember. You would think they'd be more common.
Mateen and his dad were FBI assets, and I figure most of these guys are. My idea is that most of these dudes are pointed by our spooks in a lot of different directions, but never at the Empty Closet Lounge, and the Mateens just went off-script.

"Genetic" is fuck everything that moves and kill and eat everything you don't fuck.
"Genetic" is murder the first bastard you see who has something you might possibly want. There's plenty of shit that's "genetic" that still isn't acceptable. Most of the world's religions boil down to lists of crap we do that's "genetic" but we aren't supposed to do if we have any interest in progressing beyond a fucker/murderer society, and we just wanted a codified system to point every other asshole at and say "see, it's not just me saying it, you actually are an asshole, and God thinks so to."

By the way, according to the Twixxers Tinder has added a height filter for women so they can filter out all the guys under 6' tall. No word on if they are going to add a weight filter for guys to toggle.
The funny thing is that there are only two possible outcomes for this 1) Women find out how few guys are as tall as they demand 2) Women find out how much guys will lie to get laid Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 02, 2025 06:13 PM (2VST1) 164

My granddaughter decided in January that she was goingbto transition to male. My daughter went along with it, my SIL decided he couldnt go along with the delusion, my husband was the same way. I told my daughter just don't let her take hormones and don't have any surgery. On Sunday, my daughter told us that she is just going to be gender neutral and is not talking about transitioning. She said she was just confused and was listening to other people saying it was the cool thing to do. These kids are confused and hearing all about this in the media and at school.

Their attitude is that if they don't get extra affirmation then it's an affront. So, they're the victim and we're the ones in the wrong. At least they get to play the victims.

People are getting fagtigue. Queer tranny PDF file groomers have overplayed their hand. And the USHIV money has dried up. My concern is that the sick fucks go back into the woodwork and people will forget about them long enough for them to regroup and do this dance again.
As an aside, the PDF files and teh gheyz used to be joined at the rectum. Gay rights orgs and NAMBLA used to publicly march together until the gay rights activists realized it was going to hurt their cause with the normies. So they became less visible but their ilk are still around and trying to recruit via TikTok and such. Posted by: Deviance pride month at June 02, 2025 06:22 PM (TbWk/) 207

The preference cascade is happening.
Apart from the extreme far left, nobody actually cared about 'celebrating' Pride, they just did it because they would be ostracized if they didn't 'celebrate'. It's like Soviet applause, you can't be the first person to stop clapping. But now the illusion is broken. Normies are comfortable with saying that not only do they not care about 'celebrating' it, but they find the ones that actually do care insufferable and are no longer afraid to say so.

My granddaughter decided in January that she was goingbto transition to male. My daughter went along with it, my SIL decided he couldnt go along with the delusion, my husband was the same way. I told my daughter just don't let her take hormones and don't have any surgery. On Sunday, my daughter told us that she is just going to be gender neutral and is not talking about transitioning. She said she was just confused and was listening to other people saying it was the cool thing to do. These kids are confused and hearing all about this in the media and at school. They want to fit in but be different at the same time. Conforming but being a rebel. The media needs a lot of blame for this mess.
Posted by: Megthered at June 02, 2025 06:20 PM (2/IuM) The word is these days that 'nonbinary' or 'gender neutral' are where straights go to avoid having the pressure turned up onto them by the Borg.

Sure, but that doesn't negate being born with certain inclinations. You can be born perfectly normal (heterosexual) and be turned queer at least temporarily by pressure and molestation.
------- Yeah, that's what I meant. I should have said "turned gay." You don't see a thing like homosexuality that rises and falls based on societal tolerance unless it's mostly optional. If you can't just turn it on or off, then people wouldn't have done that very thing so very often prior to the sexual revolution. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at June 02, 2025 06:24 PM (BI5O2) 214

Well there is something to that. The more a civilization degrades and collapses, the queerer it gets, not just homosexuality but overall perversion and debauchery. While it might seem repressive and not as fun to go back to the 50s sexual mores, its a hell of a lot more productive for a society and gives better structure for family and culture. Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices to make things work. That's part of being part of a society: I give up some things so we all benefit from the others.

One of the reasons these teams push Pride Month is probably because they are located in leftwing cities, and depend on the goodwill of communist and Democrat mayors and city councils for their millions of dollars of business, and billons in equity in some cases. So they just check this box for the pols and the media.

Culture is changing, man.
For the past several years, thousands of major corporations rushed to change their logos at 12:01 AM on June 1st for ‘Pride Month’ This year? It’s really hard to find a Fortune 500 corporation engaging in the ritual. Yeah, because they don't have to change their logos anymore. "Gender" madness is ingrained in the legal system of the entire country. "Gender identity" is a legal protected class. Meaning that "gender identity" is legally recognized by the US legal system as a real thing. Until that is eliminated and the legal system recognizes there are only two sexes and no "gender identities", this madness will continue. Every institution in Western civilization is captured and is pushing this. And they have the full support of the legal system. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at June 02, 2025 09:28 PM (P5BPp) 286
I'm glad most companies and organizations have dialed the gay crap back. The pride stuff was always ridiculous, but these days it's doubly ridiculous.
Posted by: Ralph at June 02, 2025 10:13 PM (8WZD4) CBS "News" Ditzy Dingbat AWFL Margaret Brennan Embarrasses Herself Yet AgainOnce again, she brings Democrat Talking Points to a factfight and loses. She repeatedly attempts to claim that Trump's tariffs will cause rampant inflation. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calmly points out that this dizzy bitch made the same claim in March, and inflation then collapsed.If you come at a career business savant like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, you better not miss. CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan hilariously had to learn that the hard way on Sunday. Brennan tried to corner the Treasury Department head from a number of fronts on the economy, such as tariffs and inflation. In response, Bessent repeatedly made Brennan look completely foolish. Regarding inflation in particular, Brennan whipped out a piece by anti-Trumper strategist Karl Rove (whom she dubbed a "conservative"), arguing that Walmart wouldn't be able to break even if it just ate the tariffs President Donald Trump was placing on imported goods, thereby leading to higher prices on consumers. "Before consumers, the reality is there will either be less inventory or things at higher prices or both." Bessent was quick on the draw, and reminded Brennan that she was one of the Armageddon geniuses prophesying the supposedly impending catastrophe of spiking inflation since March, which has not materialized. "Margaret, in March you said there would be big inflation. There hasn't been any inflation," Bessent retorted. "Actually the inflation numbers are the best in four years, so why don't we stop trying to say this could happen and wait and see what does happen?"The uninformed-yet-arrogant hack then insisted repeatedly that large corporations dependent on Chinese imports like Walmart and Target forecast the "most probable" economic outcomes in their quarterly reports. Bessent responded "Actually no Margaret," and pointed out that these reports are required by law to discuss the worst-case possibilities to apprise investors of risk, or else face lawsuit for not disclosing material possibilities. She once again insists that they're warning of the "most probable" outcomes, and I think it's pretty clear she's a bullshitter who is asking questions straight from the DNC's talking points.
I think it was the Atlanta fed that predicted -3% GDP in Q1. It was not -3% GDP in Q1. It was -0.3% GDP, entirely and completely driven by a massive spike in imports.

The interviewer knows just this side of nothing. The producers who outline the questions know slightly more, but still not very much. The coaches don't know much more than than. So, when the interviewer goes out to talk to someone combative and intelligent with a lot of experience and specific knowledge in the field in question, with the objective of "gotcha" not interview, the interviewer very quickly looks stupid because the prep doesn't extend past the first question, the answer to which collapses everything afterwards.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Fed's growth tracker now predicts a very strong 4.6% GDP growth rate in the second quarter:

that growth chart may be overblown in its optimism. Part of GDP now is government spending and it looks like that in particular will be slowing down.

The Democrats were taken over by the super rich elites about 30 years ago, and have left the middle class and poor behind. Almost all of their policies and proposals actively harm the poor in the name of a greater good like global warmening. They don't get much in the way of small donor money any longer, because they didn't NEED it with the graft they were skimming off of other sources like USAID and the Institute of Peace.
I don't need any poll to tell me that they lost the middle class. Look at who supports the Democrat party now. Look at the big leftist forces. Its not grizzled union types, its not average joe. Its college elites and the wealthy. Look at the leadership for the Democrats; they're all multi millionaires, most of them from old money.

The suits at CNN and the DNC are still mystified as to what's gone wrong.
CNN's Buried Lede: New Poll Shows Dems Still Cratering ...The cratering on leadership is directly related to the fraud Democrat leaders perpetrated on American voters over the last four years regarding Joe Biden's clear cognitive incapacity for office, which Biden is helpfully continuing to demonstrate publicly. When the entire party establishment has been exposed as co-conspirators to that fraud, or too gutless to speak out against it (with the notably courageous exception of Dean Phillips), the only real surprise in the leadership question is that the score for Democrats is as high as 19%. https://is.gd/XeHTBa Posted by: Archimedes at June 02, 2025 04:52 PM (s8j++) 87

DC is like high school for old retards. The same sort of social dynamics, the in crowd, mean girls, spazzes, the whold gamut. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, more important to them than being able to hang with the cool kids and for decades that meant Democrats.

A quick look at sources has this story right in the muddled category. The person said Ric Grenell fired him, but spokes person says Ric never met him, doesn’t know him and had nothing to do with his firing.

Trump said the Ukraine war was too important to be left to the Woke Generals and Biden losers
He said that, 3 months ago, he might have been right. But today, the Ukraine war is too important to be left to politicians like Heil Hitler Trump and Musk. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow MAGA infiltration, MAGA indoctrination, MAGA subversion, and the international MAGA conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

> When you're reduced to "this exact same gesture isn't the same as the other because he's a nazi" its a pretty sad place to be
It's all so tiresome. I've seen so many people doing Zapruder frame by frame analysis of Musk's gesture and arguing it's exactly the same as the NAZIs. But if you look at actual WWII photographs of NAZIs, not only is Musk's somewhat different, the NAZIS THEMSELVES were not always consistent. Hitler's salute often has his wrist broken downward slightly and nearly always has his thumb tucked weirdly beneath his hand. You can also find plenty of WWII NAZIs doing a sort of informal "Hi, how are you" salute. So stupid. Posted by: bonhomme at June 02, 2025 04:03 PM (lIio7) 93

Collin Rugg
@CollinRugg 19-year-old student reportedly has a panic attack and unbuckles her seatbelt while parasailing in Montenegro. Tijana Radonjic sadly passed after falling into the Adriatic Sea from 160 feet in the air. The owner of the parasailing company says Radonjic was in a cheerful mood before taking flight. "Before we set off, she waved to her friends on the beach and they waved back. Everything seemed fine. We don't know why she unbuckled her seat belt and harness and jumped out." "I guess she didn't do it consciously, but in a moment of uncontrollable fear." The family says Radonjic was not su*cidal. Republika was on vacation with her aunt when the tragedy happened in Budva, Montenegro. RIP. Posted by: Mister Ghost at June 02, 2025 04:03 PM (TGPs7) 95

At the heart of the matter was a controversy between Dudley and another medical college professor, Dr. Drake, over methods used by Dudley in performing the autopsy of "a drunken Irishman." Dudley ultimately challenged Drake to mortal combat which Drake refused but his friend, Richardson, accepted. At the appointed hour and place, Dudley and Richardson faced each other at 10 paces and at the signal, fired. Dudley was untouched but Richardson fell to the ground, profusely bleeding from a gunshot wound to the groin. Realizing Richardson would quickly bleed to death, Dudley stepped in to stop the hemorrhage and sew up the severed artery, saving Richardson’s life.

They better pray for global warming to be real and spectacular. Canada's shape hides the fact most people live in a tiny strip of livable land at the very bottom, and not all of it is superlivable at that (mountains, etc.) A new Toronto every year is gonna run out of room fast.
Posted by: LizLem at June 02, 2025 04:16 PM — They already have. In the larger urban areas of Canada new homes cost C$1 million+.. In the rural areas prices are more normal but most young Canadians can’t afford a house payment and to drive an hour to work every day. In Toronto and Vancouver it’s even worse, prices from C$1.5 - 2 million, easy. That’s why the Conservatives did much better with younger voters during the election, but they were all outvoted by Boomers who already own a home or two, enjoy those high values for the equity and voted to stop the Trump Hitler not giving two craps about the younger people who probably won’t be able to afford a home until they are 65. Carney’s made a lot of big promises of lowering construction taxes and building more modular homes for first time homebuyers. He also is invested quite heavily in a corp called Modulaire which makes those homes coincidentally.

Posted by: SOMEASSHOLESTOLEMYPEN at June 02, 2025 05:11 PM (cApz2) Biological Male Cheater Steals Titles from Girls In California Track ChampionshipsTheir "compromise" with Trump's order to enforce Title IX according to the actual law was allowing the girls this man previously eliminated from competing for the championship to compete against him again, and lose to the male cheater again. Which is exactly what happened. Obviously. Track and field is not a sport with a lot of unexpected upsets. You can mostly project the winners based on their past finishes.Below, a lawyer who opposes this lunacy refuses to go along with the perpetually PMSing CNN anchorette's use of the fake pronoun "her" to describe AB Hernandez. Notice how easily the CNN propagandist is reduced to babbling when someone simply refuses to repeat their lies. They're used to winning every single culture war offensive by dictating how the issue can even be discussed. That's playing politics on easy mode (or, as many say, on "game journalist" mode). When you change the game to normal difficulty, they're stymied. Well done: Benny Johnson

When I was a grader in the CS dept as an undergrad, someone had the bright idea to crosslink classes from different departments. CS and EE in the engineering school had been doing it for a long time as you might expect. This time they cross linked the CS advanced track with the Liberal Arts Linguistic classes. It was a blood bath. The average grade on a test was 32 and not normally distributed. The CS majors had decent grades....while the LA group got about 0. And we sure tried to find some points to give out. Posted by: Oldcat When I in college in the mid-late 80s, there were a lot of CS guys in some of my linguistics classes. Why, you ask? Because they were going into AI, and needed to understand how human languages work. Posted by: Bulg at June 02, 2025 02:41 PM (77rzZ) 28

That's not really true. Even the most elite competitors lose races or events. Usain Bolt at the height of his dominance was upset several times.

Note they don't do "polls" of female athletes to see who would go for a swab test to make sure they're not competing against a man. That's how useful the "polls" are, they just don't do them.

There's effectively no such thing as a reliable judge, because judges are the lowest form of human life there is. I reckon it's a stretch to call them human at all. The profession naturally attracts the grossest, most corrupt and venal pigs in society, and for every Clarence Thomas there are a thousand John Roberts. The best thing to do is see if a judge can pass a confirmation, and then hang the motherfucker right there in the well of the Senate.

Not exactly. They decided that they aren't going to put that case on the docket this year. Which effectively is the same thing for a year at least, but hopefully they will get to it. This brings up another consideration: the Democrats have figured out (even if by accident) a new way to neutralize the Supreme Court... flood them with lunatic challenges in lower courts against the president.

>>Track and Field is the best answer to the liars who say there is no difference between male and female athletic performance. If you look at every single female world record in Track and Field, you can find a 14-15 year old male who has beaten it.
Honestly, any sport that requires speed and strength. It's not a slight to women, men are just faster and stronger on average. I notice that those loudmouths on the women's national soccer team who are all about trans rights don't allow men on their team. I wonder why?

>>Not exactly. They decided that they aren't going to put that case on the docket this year. Which effectively is the same thing for a year at least, but hopefully they will get to it.
Justice delayed is justice denied. This court has no intention of restoring the Second Amendment to these states where it has been usurped by the government. The states have only grown more bold in their violations of our rights. This has been accomplished with the courts imprimatur. The states will continue to write more violations into their laws so this becomes a protected battle enabled by the courts open willingness to delay and deny the rights clearly afforded under the constitution. Justices like ACB should be hounded by gun owners, respectfully, in the same dogged way the liberals do it. There is no reason for denying these cases until the next session. Zero.

That's the kind of story that could be easily transplanted temporally and from one city to another.

I coached women's softball for years when the Daughters of Diogenes were playing. If this issue of trannies had come up back then, I would have seriously considered pulling my team from any game with a male opponent.

I came to the realization this weekend that women brought on this crap themselves.
Women insisted decades ago that men were not allowed to have single sex spaces. They invaded cub scouts and Boy Scouts and card rooms and country clubs. How about the bimbo sport reporter ettes in the men’s locker rooms? They tried to invade some men’s sports, but aside from the rare place kicker in football, they simply cannot keep up. Now, men are invading women’s spaces, dressing rooms, locker rooms, spas….. and sports When women allow men to have their space, then perhaps women will be allowed to get theirs back.

Writing for the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh emphasized that,
“NEPA does not allow courts, ‘under the guise of judicial review’ of agency compliance with NEPA, to delay or block agency projects based on the environmental effects of other projects separate from the project at hand”. Translation: judges can’t play fortune teller and block infrastructure because of speculative “ripple effects” on theoretical future projects. In other words, environmental lawfare just hit a serious snag. As Justice Kavanaugh rightly stated, courts are not meant to “micromanage those agency choices so long as they fall within a broad zone of reasonableness”. This ruling reinforces that principle and restores a shred of common sense to environmental regulation.

If I was a betting person, I would say Britney Griner is also intersex
He doesn't appear to have ANY female characteristics. I think Greiner is just a dude. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor If that was the case, HE would be dominating the WNBA. Britney isn't. Intersex is possible though. --- Note that Griner found "reasons" to not join the women's Olympic team even though he was automatically on the team. Which "reasons" were totally not related in any way whatsoever to the fact that the Committee required blood testing, which screened for testosterone levels, at that time.

As Justice Kavanaugh rightly stated, courts are not meant to
“micromanage those agency choices so long as they fall within a broad zone of reasonableness”. This ruling reinforces that principle and restores a shred of common sense to environmental regulation. Posted by: SMOD at June 02, 2025 02:58 PM (RHGPo) Now, lets see the Court actually enforce it... because even though the Supremes said outlawing ARs was not Kosher... States are once again outlawing ARs... and the Supremes won't take those new cases up, to enforce their earlier ruling. It's like the Chevron ruling... touted as a great Conservative win in Court... yet.. to date if you search for any rule that has been overturned because of said ruling... you won't find anything.

I think in schools where this is happening that drastic action has to happen beyond just stepping off of winner's podiums or turning of backs. I think track, swim and other competitive teams have to forfeit meets and refuse to compete with a male on the team. Does that ruin girls/women's sports? Yes, but it does already and let these males pretending to be females stand there by themselves showing the world how sick and narcissistic they are with no real females around them.

That, and the old best announcers were great at knowing how to fill a gap with a good story or analysis. Dave Niehaus and Vin Scully always had an amazing anecdote or tale to fill when the manager went to the mound or there was a short delay of some kind. They kept the game interesting no matter what was going on the field. I love watching old baseball games, classic vintage stuff. The game how it is supposed to be played, and moves fast.

270 At this time a massive emergency response is currently underway in Weslaco, Texas, where a standoff has unfolded involving a male suspect stranded atop a water tower. Authorities say the man climbed the structure earlier today and became stuck, prompting law enforcement and rescue teams to respond. Negotiations are ongoing, and the motive behind their actions remains unclear. Emergency crews are now working to bring them down safely, with specialized equipment on standby as a precaution.

Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at June 02, 2025 03:39 PM (+sEI/) Since when do we care about the motives of one man on a tower?

Dennis Rodman is a weirdo's weirdo. He was an undeniable great player on the court. Wasn't an offensive dynamo but he was great everywhere else. Put him on a team with Isiah Thomas or Michael Jordan, and you win championships.
Posted by: Puddleglum, cheer up for the worst is yet to come Some players are like that. They won't carry the team, but link them up with some talent and they become a force multiplier. Dirty little secret, you need the Rodmans with the Jordans to make the great teams. Posted by: Brother Tim (102mm/W59), Keeper of the Tim Continuum at June 02, 2025 03:45 PM (OUMaO) 329

Well, aside from the filler I mentioned above, announcers started on the radio where you couldn't see anything (sometimes recreating the game with just the scorecard notes). But stuff like Football, if you didn't have the flashy graphics and announcers you'd notice how little is actually happening on the field and how dull the game is.

That, and the old best announcers were great at knowing how to fill a gap with a good story or analysis. Dave Niehaus and Vin Scully always had an amazing anecdote or tale to fill when the manager went to the mound or there was a short delay of some kind. They kept the game interesting no matter what was going on the field.

There seems to be a certain feminist belief that women are as strong, fast, agile, etc. as men. Logically, such beliefs should not survive if second-rate mentally ill male athletes taking performance-reducing drugs can still beat women athletes.
However, such beliefs are not related to logic, so probably they will survive.

The problem with sports announcers these days is that they never shut up. They constantly talk about everything in the game that most fans know anyway. I grew up watching the Yankees and Phil Rizzuto was an announcer. He would start talking about cannolis , guys he used to play with and Mr and Mrs this or that from New Jersey. That was something bti listen to , but today it couldn't happen

Might I suggest a compromise on the ''trans ' athlete thing?
First, there is no such thing as trans there is only male and female. Second, allow males to compete in any sport where two or more of the current top five world record- holders are female. That shows that for that sport females are competitive with males. Posted by: Anonymous Rogue in Kalifornistan (ARiK) at June 02, 2025 03:51 PM (QGaXH) 354
At the same meet they took the 400 meter win away from a biological girl for unsportsmanlike conduct and kicked her out of the rest of the meet.

TBH, I'm disappointed at all the push back. I'd like to see female sports absolutely destroyed and turned into a laughing stock. That is the equivalent of rubbernecking on a freeway when a particularly violent crash occurred. I know it's morally questionable....but I'm going to look.
Bottom line. For six freakin decades we've been getting this feminist nonsense that Males and Females are exactly alike. In order to defend females in the present they feminists have to overtly admit that their six decades of diatribe was nonsense. I enjoy the squirming. And, I'd like to see males rule the female sports genre (including the Olympics). It would be hilarious, and half of the country wouldn't understand why.
