Big Penguin was hiding something

Scientists discover first new penguin species in more than 100 years

Antarctica's four-foot-tall Emperor penguin may be the best-known member of the penguin family, but it is far from alone. Seventeen other penguin species live across the Southern Hemisphere, and many inhabit isolated islands that are difficult for scientists to reach and study.

That remoteness may help explain how an entire species of gentoo penguin escaped recognition for so long. The birds live on the Kerguelen Islands, known in French as the Desolation Islands, nearly 2,000 miles from any permanently inhabited landmass. An international team led by researchers in Chile and at the University of California, Berkeley has now identified the population as a distinct species, making it the first new penguin species named in more than 100 years. The findings were published in Communications Biology.

***

The newly recognized southeastern gentoo penguin, Pygoscelis kerguelensis, may face an uncertain future. Two of the other newly defined species could also be vulnerable as global warming reshapes the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions where they live. The southern gentoo, now known as Pygoscelis ellsworthi, is the only one of the four that lives in Antarctica. Climate projections suggest it may be affected relatively little and could even expand its range.

"In Antarctica, of course, other species, not the gentoo, are threatened by climate change," said Juliana Vianna, one of the paper's senior authors and a professor of ecosystems and environment at Andrés Bello National University in Santiago, Chile.

Of course - climate doom and gloom threatens them.

But maybe there's a solution!

Record-breaking carbon capture plant to snatch 800K tons of CO2 a year

Norwegian chemical company Yara has inaugurated the largest industrial carbon capture facility in all of Europe this week. Set up at the company's ammonia and fertilizer plant in Sluiskil, the Netherlands, it can capture 800,000 tons of CO2 per year.

That carbon dioxide comes from its ammonia production process. Once it's captured, it's liquified, temporarily stored in those large white tanks you see in the photos, and subsequently transported by ship to Norway. This last bit is handled by Norwegian CO2 transport firm Northern Lights, which stores its cargo in a reservoir 8,530 ft (2,600 m) beneath the seabed.

Burying tanks of CO2 like it's toxic waste. These people are lunatics!


Back to new species...

Meet the Adorable and Tiny Tilcayo, the First Brand-New Cat Species Identified in More Than a Century

doof-tilcayo.jpg

For the first time in more than 100 years, scientists have identified a new species of wild cat.

The diminutive feline, dubbed the tilcayo, lives in the Bolivian Yungas, the cloud forest where the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains meet the Amazon basin. It’s smaller than a house cat, weighing just three to four pounds, and has large, irregularly shaped rosettes dotting its light brown fur.

How long until these kitties are threatened by the climate boogeyman?

AI is asshoe. Government is asshoe. Together? Yeah - ASSHOE!!!!!

Hundreds of Flights Grounded Across the Eastern Seaboard as Government Rolls Out AI Air Traffic Control System

Hundreds of flights across New Jersey, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston were delayed Monday afternoon after the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a massive ground stop impacting thousands of travelers — right as the government starts testing an AI air traffic control system, though there’s no current indication that the two incidents are connected.

According to early reporting by Reuters, over 600 flights were delayed across Newark and Philadelphia alone, in addition to hundreds more across four other east coast airports. Dozens of imminent takeoffs were likewise aborted across the busy flight corridor when the ground stops — which appeared to roll northward from Philadelphia — were issued.

Preliminary reports indicate some sort of air traffic control glitch at one of the major airports along the East Coast, with Bloomberg TV reporting a circuit malfunction at an air traffic control facility in Philadelphia, and Reuters noting that a fiber optics cable was accidentally clipped in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, the BBC reports that Boston’s Logan International Airport is warning travelers to expect extensive delays due to broad “equipment issues across the north-east.” As one FAA spokesperson told CBS21, the ground stop is due to “issues with some frequencies at Philadelphia TRACON,” also known as Terminal Radar Approach Control, the radar system that guides planes in and out of airports.

At the time of writing, it isn’t exactly clear what’s behind the turmoil. What is clear is that the region’s air traffic control system is a tangled mess — and unfortunately, this could just be a sign of things to come.

Strikingly, the massive air traffic outage comes right as the Trump administration moves ahead with a controversial AI air traffic control system known as “Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories,” or SMART.

"SMART"??? Really???

Maybe we're not alone

Radio signals detected from a planet beyond our Solar System

Researchers have captured direct radio wave emissions originating from a planet outside our Solar System.

Using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope array, an international team of astronomers successfully detected variable radio bursts coming directly from Beta Pictoris b, a massive gas giant exoplanet located about 63 lightyears away.

But while many of us may hear of radio signals detected at a distant planet in our Galaxy and instinctively imagine a detection of alien life, in this case the discovery is not a sign that E.T. has been detected.

Or maybe we are!

These people are exhausting.

>She/her shows up with a rainbow flag like it’s her own personal pride parade. The couple asks her to kindly put it away.

>She/her then tries to publicly shame them for “homophobia”.

4 Burying tanks of CO2 like it's toxic waste. These people are lunatics!

Assuming they were successful, I wonder if they'd be able to unbury the CO2 once the plants all started dying. I presume that they'd blame something other than the lack of CO2 for the problem.

The South African government must provide heavy security to keep the locals from stealing all the copper and electronics, and raping and murdering the operators. I'm guessing they required that an ignorant African tribesman be put in nominal charge of the operation, and that they receive substantial payments of protection money.

90 But while many of us may hear of radio signals detected at a distant planet in our Galaxy and instinctively imagine a detection of alien life, in this case the discovery is not a sign that E.T. has been detected.

It's easy to imagine that our radio and television signals have been intercepted. And that alien cultures are examining them.

However, we're not going to get the Thermians from "Galaxy Quest."

We're going to get what I believe is called a "cleansing event." Which is not showering with hot alien babes, sorry.

111 >> It's easy to imagine that our radio and television signals have been intercepted.

That's not really as easy as some of the popular notions would have, due to the inverse square law and signal to noise.

If you imagine the limits of detection set by the laws of physics on signal to noise and all that, the limit for our "routine" isotropic leakage, radio, TV, etc is about 10 light years.

Now, we've sent out some more powerful beams, such as military radar, very tight directional cones. The limits for those are maybe a couple hundred lights years for some receiver that happened to be in the beam.

The most powerful signals we've ever mustered have come from some of the planetary radar ranging done with the non-defunct Arecibo dish. They could, in theory, be detected up to thousands, maybe 10K light years tops for somebody in the beam.

CO2 is one of the building blocks of plant life. Malthusians came up with the idea of global warming because they want fewer people on earth. One of their basic arguments is that the world's population growth was outpacing our ability to feed the world.

So they set out to remove the ability to make food plentiful and cheap.

Yes, that question will definitely be asked in the future.

Roughly 8-9 million people starve to death every year. IMO, the production of cereal grains around the world is by far the most important "weather controlled" event for preventing human deaths.

Rice and wheat are massively benefitting from the increased levels of CO2. And will still benefit with further increases.

Corn is a C4 plant. It too, is benefitting from higher CO2 levels, but the benefit of future CO2 increases will only be slight.

Adding all of the deaths from floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornados, lightning strikes, avalanches, glacier collapses in Tibet, etc. typically does not get much over 100,000.

The deaths from cold weather outweigh the deaths from hot weather.

In conclusion: yes, those people are retards.

Using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope array, an international team of astronomers successfully detected variable radio bursts coming directly from Beta Pictoris b, a massive gas giant exoplanet located about 63 lightyears away.

But while many of us may hear of radio signals detected at a distant planet in our Galaxy and instinctively imagine a detection of alien life, in this case the discovery is not a sign that E.T. has been detected.

Beta Pictoris is a very young A type star, about 1.8 solar masses. Very young, but it will remain on the main sequence maybe a smidge less than 2 billion years. That's less than half the time for the Sun to go red giant from now.

The more massive a star, the quicker it forms, and the quicker it dies.

And life, at least as we know it, or conceive of it, likely can't exist around A stars anyway. They are to bright, throw off too much UV, and the habitable zone gets pushed way out.

While you can calculate a habitable zone for them, they throw off so much UV that the range where UV wouldn't be too strong can push it out even farther.

G and K stars are likely the ones for life, and there's a debate over which is really better. Lots of complex stuff. Life might develop around lighter F stars, but that's a much longer shot.

177 ...Food historian Ivan Day, who has tried to replicate the revellers' cooking techniques, says it would take over 24 hours to roast the animal in front of a fire. A single animal could have fed 800 people. Mutton was also served - both in slices and in mince pies.

Tea, coffee and hot chocolate were on sale. But alcohol permeated the occasion. Ginger bread vendors sold cups of gin. A particularly strong gin was called Old Tom - records describe it as "incredibly ardent".

There was Purl - a mix of gin and wormwood wine, similar to vermouth. It was drunk hot and "you'd get absolutely wrecked on it", Day says.

There was also a "very spiky" beer called Mum infused with spices similar to a winter ale. The tents - made out of sails and propped up with oars - were called "fuddling tents" for the ruinous effect of the strong liquor.

181 We have hit peak fall color here, lots of beautiful golds and a few hot reds, and there are birch leaves on my car every morning. I expect a hard freeze any day now, although so far it hasn't dipped into the 30s. Lots of termination dust (snow) on the tops of the mountains.

I've pulled all the carrots and most of the potatoes, the beans are long done, the lettuce has bolted and the flowers are fading. The raspberries have been picked and frozen, the strawberries the same.

In about three weeks I will be putting up soups for the year. Probably ham and bean, chicken veggie rice, chicken tortilla, beef veggie, maybe some italian beef. I have managed to put up the veggies so far in the camper kitchen, but I'm not going to do soup until I have a real kitchen in place.

We eat very well from cheap chicken and beef cuts, put up as soups, for the entire year from what I grow in the garden and greenhouse, including herbs. I have a ton of dill, which makes the best smoked salmon spread and some really good pickles. Basil, oregano, thyme fill out the rest.

The biggest pro for K stars is there very long life, median maybe 45 billion years, with a range of 15 to 70ish billion. Call it 5x the lifetime of the Sun.

But the habitable zone is closer, and narrower. As you go up the mass and luminosity scale, the habitable zone, the Goldilocks zone moves but gets wider. Going the other way, it moves in and gets narrower.

Being closer means the potential life bearing planet is closer to danger from a big flare or CME.

Young stars are sort of like young humans, they throw tantrums and hissy fits occasionally. When a star is first "born", right at lighting up the H fusion and going on the main sequence, think of it as toddler. It throws tantrums of flares and CMEs. Then it gets into the teenaged years, and then into adulthood where it finally settles down.

Young stars spin fast and have larger magnetic fields, which drives the tantrums and outbursts.

The longer the lifetime of a star, the longer the toddler and teenage years gets stretched out. Long life, but longer volatile periods at the beginning.

232 Fun fact about the Tilcayo; although science just discovered it, the locals have known about it a long time, which is why it has a name. But the name Tilcayo is not related to any Indian word they know of; it is also not related to any Spanish words. When the locals are asked why they call it Tilcayo, they shrug and say “because that’s what it’s called.”

234 1968, Nixon was running for office and it was very close and he was the Prince of Darkness. They did hate him everybody as much as they hate Trump. In 68 Tricky Dicki was back and so they dreamed up the population bomb.
1968 Paul Ehrlich, Stanford professor says that we’re all going to be dead in 10 years by the Malthusian overpopulation trap. So all of you go out and adopt one baby and have one or better yet have none and we destroyed the fertility rate.

And then Reagan was running for re-election in 84 and he was going to win against a weak Mondale and they got the – what are we gonna do? - what are we gonna do? We’ve already done the population – Ah, I know what we’re going to do, Nuclear winter…..

I understand (due to immune deficiency) that it's not good to be exposed to those potential pathogens/parasites of *fresh* raw fish, but what about the deep-freeze process?

I think CBD posted about it, some years back... Sub-zero temps for (?) days, in order to killoff the baddies. Sure, I think texture would be affected. Maybe flavor too, but would that be safe enough to indulge-- IF you could be sure of the processing?

Posted by: JQ at September 23, 2026 01:07 AM (rdVOm)

256
The base star classification based on color temp goes O, B, A, F, G, K, M (with minor subranges with numbers and Roman numerals and some other things). Our sun is a G2V star.

A mnemonic for remember that is "Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me". As you might imagine, the feminists don't like that, even though it was a woman (Annie Jump Cannon) who came up with.

One of these harpies tried to change it to "Only Boys Accepting Feminism Get Kissed Meaningfully". This hasn't caught on.

266 Just got back from my Tuesday night read-academic-papers-and-work-on-OSS-at-the-local-bar. I've missed a few weeks due to vacations and other commitments, so it's nice to get back into the routine.

Tried out a new Argentinian restaurant with fancy wine and empanadas. It was great! The wine was almost as expensive as the entree though.

The bartender was really excited about having some beers on tap made with fresh hops. If you drive to Salem in August with the windows down, you can smell all the hop fields.

To be honest I'm not sure I could tell what made the wine or the beer so special. They were both delicious though!

Master Blaster runs Barkertown.

Bull moose chases off any male that comes within 40 yards of his harem.

Puppy trust jump.

Dogs are good eggs.

Cat has so little fear of a good-sized snake that he decides to f*** with it.

Caracal kitten meows like a ray gun.

Watch-Kitten chases off all of the vagrant pigeons moping around the storefront.

If you lie down with dogs you get kisses.

Bat the cat.

A baby goat imprinted on a German shepherd and now acts like a dog.

18 T = 00:05:13Z, 8:05:13 PM EDT. We have Equinox, the moment of Crossing. At this moment, the Sun's ecliptic longitude is dead on 180 degrees, and Right Ascension is 12 hours exactly. That's a wrap for Summer 2026, which clocked in at 93 days, 15 hours, and 40 minutes. Astronomical Fall begins.

And, this is a perfect equinox, turns out. The Erf doesn't follow the mean ecliptic of date around the Sun perfectly -- close enough for government work, but the Moon causes a little bobbing up and down and weaving back and forth. All that just happened to zero out this time around

To within 0.1 arcseconds the Sun's ecliptic latitude is 0, and the declination is 0 as well. The center of the Sun is dead on the celestial equator. The last perfect such seasonal alignment was the summer solstice of 2025.

Thank you!!! That was the one part that bothered me the most. I don't even care that the mob is engaged in mass psycho-social abuse of the bar owner. Xe probably hates my people and wants to erase our distinctive faith, culture, and features from the face of the Earth.

But words mean things, and it is not possible to be eugenicist against a bar full of genetic dead ends. If everyone there is a Darwinian failure, you could firebomb the whole venue on a packed Saturday night and not affect the gene pool, which they had already pre-removed themselves from.

I don't care about any of the people involved, who are all horrible and probably deserve worse. But words matter, and I hate to see them abused like that.

I watched horror movies the other night, put Ralphy on the bed, my friends' cat Snowflake stayed with him licking his ear.

I've been feeding Snowflake and her Mom Starry for my friends. There were storms. I brought in my emergency cat litter box. They're both outdoor cats. Currently downstairs.

I've kept them in last winter. Good cats. Don't damage anything. My friends have a big young family. Outdoor cats. I have a big house and am alone. So they're welcome.

This may be how the crazy starts...

63 I used to have a herd of elk at my house spring and fall on their way to and from winter/summer grounds. They surrounded the house, fifty, perhaps more.

Once the dog had to go out, and I called the vet for advice. She said she had plenty of deer/dog incidents, but never elk/dog. So I let him out.

He was a Bouvier, a herding breed. It was probably the best day of his life. He strutted up and down, saying My Herd. My Herd. The elk didn't care. They lifted their heads and went back to grazing.

After a few hours, one old lady trotted off and the rest followed.

67 Saw a lovely cow moose along the road last Thursday. The smart ones stay by the roads this time of year--hunting season. You can't shoot them within some number of yards from a public road, so they are safe there.

Once it snows, probably in a couple of weeks, we will see plenty of moose in the yard. There's one older mama moose who hangs out in our side acre, and then the boys start lining up for her to ignore. But she always has a calf in the spring, so somebody is getting the nookie.

68 Fox News: The Laughing Cow ditches iconic smile and teases cheese shoppers with cryptic message on packaging
Bel Brands says the somber new look is temporary and the mystery behind the mascot's mood shift will unravel soon.
(On package under the somber-faced cow, it says "We Need to Talk")

Bel Brands stressed that the new expression is not a permanent logo or packaging change.

Once consumers learn why the mascot stopped laughing, the company said it is confident she will eventually smile again and the packaging and social media channels will return to the joyful expression shoppers have known for more than a century.


She strangled her calves, didn't she? And once she's found not guilty, she'll go back to laughing and smiling.

Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at 06:47 PM


I've been thinking about that. Rod Martin's graphic makes it clearer that this was carefully crafted to be a balance of warning and flattery to NATO.

On the one hand, special privileges: non-NATO bases are prohibited, and NATO investments in critical minerals and the like don't suffer a U.S. veto. Look at how much we like you, NATO! Are you not flattered?

On the other hand, a slap to the face: making the agreement perpetual, regardless of whether NATO ends or Greenland gets independence from Denmark. Just taking either possibility into account is undiplomatic, but that's fine; I prefer realpolitik. It's necessary for our interests to be secured, no matter what dehwicate foreign fee-fees are hurt.

108 Obviously blacks have proven to be the most reliable Democrat voting block.

Something around 90%.

But that almost uniform voting block is greatly increased when the systematic fraud in the biggest cities is added in.

Blacks in big city machines are not only unapologetic about electoral fraud, but actually, proud.

125 From Trump to the UN:

- Locked in permanent Greenland security rights that shut out China, Russia, and adversary investment

Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at 06:47 PM

I've been thinking about that. Rod Martin's graphic makes it clearer that this was carefully crafted to be a balance of warning and flattery to NATO.

On the one hand, special privileges: non-NATO bases are prohibited, and NATO investments in critical minerals and the like don't suffer a U.S. veto. Look at how much we like you, NATO! Are you not flattered?

On the other hand, a slap to the face: making the agreement perpetual, regardless of whether NATO ends or Greenland gets independence from Denmark. Just taking either possibility into account is undiplomatic, but that's fine; I prefer realpolitik. It's necessary for our interests to be secured, no matter what dehwicate foreign fee-fees are hurt.

Our ice cream products are not certified halal. However, all of our ice creams except for Rocky Road are vegetarian and don’t contain any animal-derived ingredients (other than milk and eggs).

Trump to the UN: S My D and L My Bs


Nick Sortor
@nicksortor


🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just called out the UN globalists for attempting to FORCE mass migration to the west

"With your CEASELESS promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively DESTROYING the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history."

"They want the worst people to come in from the WORST places on earth and we don't do it anymore."

"There is NO HUMAN RIGHT to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a SOVEREIGN NATION."

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump's FULL blockbuster UN speech is getting rave reviews -- where he RAILED against the globalist ICC, called out the persecution of Christians, REFUSED to apologize for America First and more

The whole thing was 10/10! 🔥

TRUMP DID THE FOLLOWING:

- Called out the UN for ignoring Christian persecution worldwide while obsessing over America

- Demanded every ICC member resign immediately from that rogue anti-American tribunal

- Called Communist Cuba a failed state that will fall, then watched officials storm out

- Declared there is no human right to illegal immigration, only the right to stay a sovereign nation

- Scorched UNESCO globalists for pushing mass migration that destroys Western cultures

- Said there is NO global government and there will be NO global taxes while he is president

- Bragged that America cut the UN budget 15% and killed over 4,000 bureaucracy jobs

- Boasted of the most secure border in American history with ZERO illegal aliens admitted

- Declared America is BACK, stronger than ever, and in a GOLDEN AGE after Biden's dark age

- Mic-dropped failed globalist leaders: while others talked peace, he MADE peace

- Vowed Iran will NEVER get a nuclear weapon and said the Middle East bully is finished

- Teased a huge post-election decision: strike a deal, or annihilate the Islamic Republic

- Exposed Iran as weak and desperate, not strong, and predicted Iranian terror's end

- Slammed cowards and traitors leaking fake "low munitions" claims mid-conflict

- Took a victory lap over capturing Maduro and signing the largest oil deal in history

- Laid down the Donroe Doctrine: no threats get a foothold in the Western Hemisphere

- Refused to apologize for crushing drug cartels, calling them the ISIS of the hemisphere

- Locked in permanent Greenland security rights that shut out China, Russia, and adversary investment

- Renamed Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence and vowed America stays #1 over China

Well he didn't coin that. People routinely speak of "AGI" -- "Artificial General Intelligence" -- and "ASI" -- "Artificial Super-Intelligence." Neither one has been achieved yet.

- Closed with a nationalist call to strengthen nations, grow economies, and God bless America

And that's just a non-exhaustive list.

Of course, Trump got the Greenland deal he was angling for. We don't own it, but we will be building bases there.

15 Most European security analysts can pick another job since they were totally wrong on how the Greenland crisis was solved.

Had a lovely conversation with some woman on X. She said that Trump, she called him the Orange Pedo, had said that he was going to invade Greenland. I pointed out that he specifically said that no force would be used. She countered with "you can say things without saying them". I suggested that she was a lunatic, wished her a happy life, and blocked her. Life is too short to have constant saving throws versus insanity.

50 The Greenland deal was everything Trump said he wanted.

And that every single expert sneered he'd never get.

And of course John Cornyn whines after, "but did it have to come at the cost of diplomacy?"

Greenland is now a protectorate of the US.
We control the Arctic on both sides of Russia.
We control the Panama Canal, pushing China out.
I think I saw it pointed out, we now control 6 of the 7 major chokepoints in the world.

But sure, Trump is a reckless cowboy that doesn't know what he's doing.

We have been dicking around with iran forever. I was there in 87-88 during the tanker wars. It is getting old that every time iran has a fit they close the straits and oil prices spike to $100 a barrel. It's way past time to finish this and that is what Trump is doing.


Plus he is also ramping up domestic oil production along with getting venezuala back in the game of producing oil. They have the absolute largest proven oil reserves in the country and Trump has locked them into a long term contract with the US. We are going to feel the effects of his presidency long after he is gone.

In part, "JERUSALEM, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he would use his speech at the United Nations this week to defend Israel's military actions against ​the Palestinians, while accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of supporting Hamas.

Netanyahu's ‌comments were in response to remarks by the New York mayor, who told CNN on Monday that Netanyahu was a "war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people."

I thought the US already annihilated Iran 7 months ago in the war that definitely isn't a war?

This is the most compelling evidence that the US has reached peak power some years ago and now is on the downward trajectory of the power bell curve. Like most empires our best days are behind us and we were only really relevant for just over 100 years.

134 The US veto on Greenland is important, but I think that was a major compromise by Trump.

He is well aware that it only takes one obama or biden (or clinton, carter, johnson, kennedy..... or Bush even) to undo that.

US gets a veto as long as adults are in charge. Very precarious.

146 Trump probably wanted
- no non-NATO military bases or investments, ever.

Something absolute that could not be undone.

Nixon fucked up big with his "two china" bullshit and then Carter handed the seat to the commies. (more of less.)

Bush fucked up big with temporary MFN for china, and then Clinton made it permanent (more or less)

Trump is very aware of that history -- this is his era and he watched those mistakes in real time.

I don't think you understand how things work up here. Most of us live here for the summers, which are glorious, and while they only last about four months, there is sunlight all day and most of the night. Many of us like the winters, too, since there are lots of places up here to go on a snowmachine, go ice fishing, and really world class skiing, both downhill and cross country.

Plus, salmon, moose, halibut, shrimp, and other hunting and fishing opportunities that fill the freezer.

Folks generally get along, except for the idiot tweakers in Wasilla and the lefty Californicators in Anchorage. The rule about "don't be an asshole and all will be well" usually applies. Do you own thing, don't mess with my thing, and your rights end at the tip of your nose.

People who can't get along usually move to the boonies and stay out of town. Works for everybody.

DataRepublican has a report (i have not read) about EU funding US antifa. Everything they do is to take down USA. They decided to stop fighting each other for a bit, and unite to fight the USA. This goes back to the anti-nuke protests from the 70s and 80s. All those people identify USA as their enemy just like a 13yo thinks their parents are the problem

216 Obviously, war veterans have lied about their experiences throughout time.

This is something that we have to remember every time we are asked to remember our veterans.

Not every story about our veterans is a story of glory.

That would be too simplified.

But, at the end of the day, the American soldier is probably on net, the most force for good on record.

Which, in a round about way, is another way of saying that the descendants of African slaves; ie today's African Americans have benefited greatly from having been brought here.

Which is something that no-one today wants to acknowledge.

Five Years After Covid, a Lesbian Bar Finally Relaxed Its Covid Mask Policy, Which Required Wearing a KN-95 Mask at All Times.
The Backlash Is, Get This, Unhinged.

Five years after covid.

Five years after covid.

I just want to make it clear that this is five years after covid.

Five years after covid, and they're still shrieking and shrilling over a bar relaxing a requirement to wear KN-95 masks.

Not banning the masks. Just not requiring them. Now, they're only suggested.

Oh -- and the requirement is only relaxed one night per week. On Saturday.

All other days of the week -- mask up. Covid will kill you.

Five years later, and the left-wing lesbian Karens are having a meltdown.


A Western Mass. lesbian bar required KN-95 masks. When it changed the rules, all hell broke loose.

The August 31 Instagram post from Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, was upbeat, teasing a new DJ lineup and a volunteer meetup. But partway down the rainbow-hued post labeled "UPDATES!" was a sentence that would splinter the queer community in this small Pioneer Valley city and beyond.


"It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional," wrote Last Ditch.

Previously, patrons were required to wear a well-fitted KN-95 mask "or better" at all times.

The new policy was not received with love.

"Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with," wrote one commenter.

"people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience," posted another.

This is almost as spicy as the Intercepted Reddit Messages.


"I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists [sic]," wrote a third.


The thread grew to 442 comments, some supportive, but many furious.

Leftists furious about something they think they're "owed" but aren't getting?!

This. Changes. Everything.

The people running the bar were accused of being ableist -- eugenicist, even -- for relaxing their signature policy in the face of what commenters consider an ongoing pandemic (Greenfield hasn't reported any COVID cases in more than two months).

Two days later, Last Ditch posted an apology. "We are sorry for our passive and dismissive tone of our change to the norms and schedule impacting the most intersectional of us," management wrote on Instagram. "We understand everyone faces different intersections and we are always working to consider all needs fully."

Now, you're not going to believe this, but it turns out that apologizing to an SJW does not appease them, but encourages them to become even more shrill and hateful in demanding further concessions.


Instead of defusing the situation, the apology seemed to make things worse. The bar had erred: it posted an Instagram card without providing alt-text for the visually impaired. This set off a fresh round of accusations of ableism.

"This is not an accessible post," wrote one user. "It indicates the lack of care or interest in Disability intersectionality."

...

Quaint, crunchy Greenfield (population 17,700) isn't a bad place for a COVID-cautious lesbian bar in 2026, all things considered. Rainbow flags deck store windows downtown. On a recent weekend, a community theater was advertising a workshop for masked performers, down the street from a bookstore with a "medical masks required" sign in the window. Men in ponytails and N-95s were ordering hibiscus tea from the coffee shop off the main square.

Greenfield is close, both physically and spiritually, to Northampton, sometimes referred to as "Lesbianville, U.S.A." In the Pioneer Valley, "every bar is a lesbian bar," a friend who lives there told me.

Nevertheless, Last Ditch, which opened last year as a bar for "dykes, transsexuals, gender freaks, workers, and their friends," is struggling.

...

"Our mission is to create systems of care and action and aid," says Jackie Matellian, one of the founders.

When it first opened, Last Ditch did fairly well. Customers fondly remember a raucous opening night with a (clothed) simulation of a lesbian sex act -- masks in place -- on the dance floor.

How dare Sydney Sweeney sexualize women.

But over time, foot traffic to the bar slowed. More and more visitors said they didn't have the cover fee; the bar let them in anyway. The owners fell behind on bills and couldn't pay themselves or the people who worked there. So, after consulting with the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce, they came up with a plan to bend one of their rules -- and hopefully attract more customers.

...

One of Last Ditch's most vocal critics, the head of another queer COVID-conscious collective in Western Massachusetts, a performer and artist who goes by Soe Noire, has been posting complaints about Last Ditch for days. Now, Noire joins the meeting on Zoom. He and other critics begin to flood the Zoom chat with irate messages, which are dutifully read aloud to the group.

"He"? Is this a trans "man" by any chance?

"Noire" is the feminine form of "Noir." Does "he" know that?

...

When it comes time for one of the mediators, a licensed therapist, to speak, she takes a conciliatory tone.

"I love that you are here online," she says. But "these platforms alienate us from each other. I'm talking about social media." She asks whether participants can try to remove themselves from "places of righteousness."

"I would love to get to a place where we all know each other's face, where we all know each other's name," she continues.

"It's messed up that the mediator is dismissing those attending virtually. That's not accessibility," someone responds in the chat.<

"A lot of people are calling for an acknowledgment of harm and I'm hearing a WHITE therapist ... center[ing] the feelings of a majority white and white adjacent staff," writes Noire, who is Black.

No shit really?

The owner tried to femsplain that she was losing money and deeply in debt and felt she had to do something to increase patronage -- or matronage -- or else she'd have to close it down.

Showing weakness to an SJW is never a good move.


"I never really wanted to do this," Matellian says, beginning to cry under her mask. "I don't think I'm doing a very good job."

Matellian tells the group her credit score is trashed. For six months, she lived in her truck because she was pouring money into the bar. She is working four different jobs. She is responsible for paying off the $50,000 loan the three took out to launch the business.

The online critics are unmoved. "[Y]ou chose to use your time to spill tears and center your feelings," Noire posts in the chat. "This is incredibly racist and deflecting behavior."
...

Last Ditch's landlord wants $3,900 in back rent by Monday.

Noire spends the hours after the meeting posting furious Instagram stories about Matellian and Last Ditch. Matellian (who uses she/they pronouns) had been shedding "WHITE THEY THEM TEARS," he writes. The bar was not "a safe environment nor interested in revolutionary praxis."

Oh, a business is not primarily a vehicle for revolutionary communist praxis?

Praxis is a bullshit term that just means "practice" -- there is theory, and then there is praxis, putting theory into practice. Stupid uneducated communists use an obscure Latin word that means "practice" to make their stupid ideas sound smart.

Why not just say "practice"? Because that wouldn't sound -- how many quotation marks do I have to use to express my sneering revulsion -- " " " " " " smart " " " " " " like "praxis" does.

Now we delve into the mystery of Noire's many-layered sexual identity, and it's as fake and gay and stupid as you were expecting.


I reach Noire, who identifies as a gender-expansive lesbian and uses he/him pronouns, by Zoom a few days later. I ask whether he has any sympathy for those running Last Ditch, given the profound financial strain they are under. "No," he replies. (Noire asked to be referred to by his stage name because he says he has been stalked and fears for his safety.) "I'm not going to give grace" when someone is "spreading rhetoric that can and will get people hurt," he says, referring to the fact that the bar's account had "liked" a few comments supporting the relaxed rule.

Noire, who lives about 50 minutes south of Greenfield, estimates he has visited the bar seven or eight times. But he won't return unless there is new leadership. "You can't repair a house that's on fire," he says.

"He's" been there eight fucking times and "he" acts like he owns the place.


I remember a comment on Last Ditch's original announcement, after the pile-on had begun: @scream_guy_wazzzuuuuuuup asked, "i'm sorry, all 400 of these crazy people live in GREENFIELD MASSACHUSETTS????"

I ask whether the people behind the angriest posts have genuine connections to the bar -- are they real customers?

Young and Matellian say yes, they know many of the detractors.

"There are people that are close to us and love us who are really disappointed in our decision, and that is completely understandable," says Young, who says her sister is one of the vocal critics online. "Like, it's so understandable why they feel hurt by the way we did it and the fact that we did it."

"They have passion for the space," Matellian adds.

Just one more glimpse of the seething hormonal insanity:



Just after midnight, one patron is left at the bar, a regular who works at the Mexican restaurant next door. She wonders aloud about holding a Lady Gaga themed night, but Mixxy demurs. "Gaga is canceled," she says. "Gaga is Zionist."

The Boston Globe ran a graphic showing some of the unhinged comments:

lesbianbarcovidmaskmeltdown.png

Here are some of them. Different messages are separated by line breaks.

the lack of masks in spaces literally kills people & stops disabled people from participating in society.

I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists

Like was this deliberately written to be alienating, rude, and ableist??

enjoy contributing to national covid spikes and potentially catching covid on mask optional nights then

just say you don't want to be around queer disabled people and be done with it. 🙏🏼

I love the use of "prayer hands" in a hateful message.


YOU'VE just decided that disabled peoples lives are debatable. And that's fine, it's pretty typical of white leftists.

It feels wildly insensitive and dismissive

Being in community requires tolerating discomfort. The cost of not masking for many is lifelong disability via long covid

Oh, she's on disability. You and I are paying for her to sit on her couch and scream hate into the internet every day.


seeing these people whine about masks being a little inconvenient for them is INFURIATING.

how could we consider you "community" if you act in a way that is killing us.

if youre only concerned with protecting yourself at the cost of DEATH for others, you are no better than a fascist.

What is truly being WILD is announcing a change of this magnitude in a cavalier, callous fashion.

if you spread diseases that disable and kill, you do not "love me".

Does COVlD not disable people on Saturday nights? Very confused by the disregard for community care

A venue wouldn't run a "hatred and discrimination night" to ensure that prejudiced people have a night where they feel included. Inclusivity is about setting basic standards for human dignitity.

people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience.
if this were the AIDS epidemic, youd be on the side of people who were against prophylactics and who believed AIDS patients should be hidden from the public, left to die alone.

shut up, ablism apologist. Gods, I'd bet money you are even more horrible to black queer people if you can't even sit your ability privileged ass down and listen to disabled queers.

As others have shared, my family is also withdrawing financial support due to the decision and its truly heartless presentation to the community. It's not too late to reverse this decision and apologize

If u wanna pander to capitalism and white supremacy go right ahead, you wouldn't be the first white and white adjacent people in history to do so.

How performative and grotesque.

Classic white and white aligned people and their "nice" culture it's so backhanded!!!
spreading deadly and disabling disease IS violent and YOU should educate YOURself.

just bc the vast majority of humans in this society don't care about killing or disabling others, that doesn't make it okay

Not having a mask requirement on Saturdays IS going to spread disease, it IS going to cause re infection, and trans and black folks (who are high risk to long Covid and complications) CAN and WILL die from this.

What a complete joke. Of course you and LD think it's "silly" because black and disabled peoples collective health are disposable to yall.

I'm seeing a lot of "deserving" talk here. A lot of entitlement.


The "with love" also lands really hollow since it's followed by a "but we decided to not care about protecting you on Saturdays". Shameful misalignment of values to praxis, and disappointing to see.


"anti-profit" bar but they cater to capital within a year lol


some people cannot afford to get sick. These people deserve to have a space that is safe for them to socialize because they cannot go anywhere else.

i am hurt and upset by your glib and flippant attitude around it ESPECIALLY given your entire mission and foundation was based on creating a masked space for the immunocompromised community

Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with

i will continue to navigate feeling excluded by a large portion of the wmass queer community as i have been for many years now


disabled folks don't have other spaces we can frequent, largely because of people like you who've accepted the culture of ableism and don't want to mask to keep their communities safe.

Everyone is at risk of Long COVID. Everyone can and will experience multiply disabling impacts from repeat infections

masking isn't just for disabled folks. everyone is at risk. masking is community care. this establishment, apparently, is not

what a massive bummer.

Yikes on bikes.

Yikes on bikes indeed.

Communists, mentally-ill dregs, and bitter entitled invalids on disability are not the kind of customer base that results in a prosperous business.

Meanwhile: Why are people turning on the "queer community"? I can't figure it out.

Usually ugly bullies and nasty mentally-ill people are so popular and beloved!

13 Masks were always a spiritual fetish for these people. Most humans crave religion and masks gave leftists all the trapping of religion without any moral requirements.
Masks show their devotion to the belief system and display their virtue at the same time. Masks also give them an opportunity to judge others and to force them to conform. All without having to actually do anything virtuous, helpful, kind or even useful.

All the hallmarks of a horrible, horrible religion.

According to her, she complied and did the job she was paid to do, but was upset enough to post about it. She's bisexual by the way, no Lezbo uggo, assuming she's the brunette in the vid.

87 Hoo boy. From a little over a year ago:

Mask Required Lesbian Bar in Greenfield MA
My wife and I went to Last Ditch Bar on Saturday night. It's a mask-required lesbian bar! Woo-hooooooo!!!

Some stuff about me:
I would consider myself a militant covid realist.

I have been involved in disability access community work since 2015. I have been guided in my mitigation strategy by disabled organizers.

I live with chronic pain (trigeminal neuralgia), but do not identify as disabled.

I never stopped masking or consistently testing since at home tests became available.

I left my 30-year career and found lower infection spread work that allows me to wear a respirator.

I have lost most of my non-disabled friends because of my strict practices. My current social circle is very small and we operate with radical transparency about our activities. We almost always mask together unless outside, distanced and molecular tested.

I work with the local mask bloc and cleaner air system lender.

I wear an n95 all day at work. I use a sip valve. If I take a lunch or water break, it is outside. Often I do not take a break.

It was not perfect. The drag performers are not required to mask...

99 Oh. Well, then … a brief look at the 'capabilities' of the vaunted 'N-95' All-Weather Super Protective Never-Fail' mask. Ready?
There are 2 things that determine the N-95's effectiveness: the pore size of the MASK vs the PARTICLE size of the Covid virion.

A bit o' the old 'Math': The COVID virion is THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE SMALLER than the pore size of the N-95. That means it is 1,000 time SMALLER than the N-95's pores. It offers NO MORE 'PROTECTION' than toilet paper.

Addendum: Most people believe doctors wear masks to protect themselves from 'things' that patients might generate. No. They wear masks to protect the PATIENT from their own saliva and possibly products in their exhalations that could have a negative effect on the patient.

We now return to our regularly-scheduled programming …

yeah, that's a true thing. But I would also say that 90% of the leftwing women claiming to be "immunocompromised" also claim to have every other trendy online viral "ailment" like neurodivergence or, of course, "gender fluidity." Autimsm+ -- which I think is autism plus ADHD, and was invented a couple of years ago -- is a very popular fake self-diagnosis.

And also: While feeling sympathy for people who are immunocompromised, I don't want to live my life as if *I* am immunocompromised. I have my own health problems. I don't try to force society to live with the same problems in solidarity.

Your math is off. You forgot to multiply by 100. It's 0.21%. You're also assuming the two properties are independent. Plenty of lesbians are fat, sedentary, have bad genetics, etc, so it's not a safe assumption those two traits (immunocompromised and lesbian) are independent.

Less than 7% are immunocompromised.

Sooo... .0021% of the area are Immunocompromised Lesbians...

so if you DOUBLE the area population to 35K, then there are like 73 of that category in the area... many of whom don't even drink...

1. Open a bar catering to a group most don't want to associate with, who has a population of 73.

2. Make it Mask mandatory for stupid reasons...

3. Profit?

147 In the 1980s, there were several hundred lesbian bars in the US. There are now just a couple of dozen, since normal lesbians don't want to hang out socially with men wearing dresses, and there is no way to exclude the men wearing dresses.

Lesbians in Portland organize dances in warehouses using closed Facebook groups to keep the men wearing dresses from finding out about them.

Not surprising that the remaining patrons of lesbian bars are nuts.

...request that I...
-- Wear a K-95 mask for an entire week prior to visiting them
-- Wear a mask from the moment I leave the house for travel to the moment I show up at their door. [con't]-- bring extras changes of clothing & extra pairs of shoes BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW "OUTSIDE CLOTHES" in the house.
-- etc.

Sure enough, when I showed up at their door, they made me CHANGE CLOTHES in the entryway and place my "outside clothes" in a "quarantine bag." Everyone masked, all the time.

Fun fun fun for everyone.

As the days passed, I can to understand that the friend herself didn't like masking and only agreed to it because he insisted. His explanation His precious wife is "immunocompromised" and thus he is doing all this to protect her.

When I later asked my friend in private about this topic and her illness, she admitted that she ISN'T immuncompromised, that she is 100% cured, and that the doctor told her she that is completely healty and has no need for a mask.

But the husband rejects the doctor's assurances, and demands masks for everyone within a 100' radius of his wife.

She admitted to me that they have lost most of their friends & famil yover this.

I had opportunities to meet quite a few lezzes in the '60s and '70s when I played music in the French Quarter. Only TWO of them were close to what I'd call attractive, but ONE of 'em was smackdown gorgeous. I wanted to hit on her SO bad - but she had a really nasty-ass 'lover/roommate' she was deathly afraid of. I found out one nite when she asked if I could take her somewhere when the club closed 'cos she didn't want to go home - she was that afraid of her 'lover/roomie'. We got in my car, drove to Lake Pontchartrain's lakefront, and I took the front seat while she slept in back. I reallyreallyreally wanted to climb in back, but … anyhow: I drove her back to the Quarter in the morning and then drove myself home … them was the days.

181 You know, at the end of the day this is a solid example of freedom. I support privately owned businesses setting their own rules without government intervention. If a bar wants to require masks, it's no different from a restaurant requiring a sport coat or a tie. It's their private restaurant...it's their dress code and rules as long as the practice doesn't violate the law (race, religion and such).

That being said...this particular bar catered to the weenies long enough, and likely realized that they were losing revenue from those who have just a smidge of sanity left in their point little heads, so they made a business move that a few whiners are pissed about. And, those whiners live their lives ALWAYS getting their way, because no one ever taught them otherwise. This is an education experience.

We are mocking them because they care so deeply about everyone being forced to mask in this particular social venue at all times. They have made it a thing. A thing that goes far beyond any sort of medical reason and into spiritual/social/morality.

242 Doc Marie’s, billed as Portland’s first dedicated lesbian bar in more than a decade, opened July 1, 2022, on SE Grand Avenue and shut the next day.

The space was packed far beyond what the inexperienced owners and staff had planned for. A known building leak dripped dirty water onto patrons and food. There was a physical fight in which one customer struck another and then made racist remarks; managers later said co-owner Olga Bichko did not handle the incident adequately. Payroll problems left some workers underpaid or unpaid. The bar and kitchen managers both quit immediately afterward, which forced the closure.

An anonymous group calling itself the Marie Equi Workers Collective then posted on Instagram that staff had been “misled about the space being safe and welcoming.” They accused the owners of unprofessional and unsafe behavior and of enabling a racist aggressor. The group demanded that Bichko hand the business over to the departing managers so it could become a worker-owned cooperative. Bichko disputed the characterizations, said the managers had been in over their heads, and declined to engage with the anonymous demands.

Leftist are trying to fix you (as unit of "society"). So of course you are necessarily involved.

And if you don't reform, you should, in their theory, be removed from the solution.

This is why Nazism is simply an extreme case of social engineering: Jews, the theory goes, stood in the way of a gelling German state that could really make headway. "Jewish newspapers" were always critical of German government and German people. Jews also held a good part of the wealth of the German nation.

Jews were in the way.

This is simple government-as-social-transformation behavior. It's just vituperatively aimed at a genetic variety.

Nazism is special by the lengths to which they pursued a genocidal "reform". But it falls into the general category of government-as-social-transformation. A key note of "fascism".

People are in the way--useless eaters, like the infirm, disabled and elderly, who cannot contribute to the societal value of work, can be removed.

Currently, if you're not on board with UK progress, the UK removes you to prison--at least for the time being.

I went to an appointment at the VA during the height of covid. They made you stop at the door and wait until they could take your temperature. If it was above normal they would not let you in. You had to wear a mask at all times even if you have asthma like I do.


When I finally got to actually see a nurse she asked me about 35 questions related to if I have had or do have covid. While I was answering those questions my mask kept slipping off of my mouth because it got caught on my beard. She started yelling at me about not wearing a mask properly. I yelled back quit fvcking asking me questions then and my mask won't slip off my fvcking face.

281 Viruses are now often tracked through waste water surveillance.

CDC's waste water monitoring program - Wastewater monitoring helps us understand the risk of influenza A (one subtype of influenza viruses that cause flu illness), SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) at a community level.

I didn't know that wastewater surveillance does not strictly require a public water or modern municipal sewer system to work. Surveillance tracks pathogens that infected individuals shed into any drainage or sanitation network, public or private, as long as a representative sample of the collective waste can be gathered and tested.

Cool.

Bloomberg Was Paying -- Bribing, We Sometimes Call It -- Democrat State AGs to Push "Environmentalism" Lawsuits

But that's okay, because the law doesn't apply to leftists.

Being a leftist is playing life on Easy Mode with all cheat codes enabled.

Bloomberg-Backed Climate Group Paying Salaries of Democratic State AG Officials Quietly Shuts Down Amid Congressional, Legal Scrutiny

The initiative's website states that it is 'historical material,' and its leaders no longer list it as their employer on their LinkedIn pages

A group housed at the New York University School of Law and backed by billionaire climate activist Michael Bloomberg quietly closed its doors in late August amid congressional scrutiny into its funding and operations. The so-called State Energy and Environmental Impact Center's signature initiative involved placing paid, climate-focused "fellows" in Democrat-controlled state attorney general offices nationwide as those offices sued the oil industry and other energy providers.

The center's sudden closure comes as a surprise: It continued to update its public database tracking state attorney general actions relevant to its climate priorities until Aug. 31, the date of its apparent closure. It also released an episode of its in-house podcast, Recharged with the State Impact Center, less than three weeks prior to that date. And in its 2025 "year in review" report released last December, the center indicated that it would continue operating throughout 2026.

But prior to its closure, the center was coming under increased pressure for effectively paying the salaries of state law enforcement agencies that were pursuing lawsuits in line with the center's priority of going after energy providers.

...

The disappearance of the center comes as it faced multiple congressional and state-level investigations over alleged ethics issues related to its funding and its practice of paying the salaries of officials it placed in state attorney general offices. Media reports and lawmakers often referred colloquially to those officials as "Bloomberg fellows" because Bloomberg helped found the center in 2017 with two seed grants worth $2.8 million each. Tax filings show that Bloomberg provided the grants through his eponymous charity, the Bloomberg Family Foundation--one of the country's most influential charities--that focuses on climate activism.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee opened an investigation into the center last year, stating that its activities "raise questions as to whether participating state attorneys general are acting on independent judgement to best serve the interests of their states' citizens."

"The Bloomberg-NYU program effectively offers states partisan money from a billionaire to carry out official functions of their offices," the panel wrote at the time. Bloomberg, it continued, "disguises his donations as 'philanthropy'" and uses the impact center as a mechanism "to skirt legislative bodies and effect partisan policy."

In a statement to the Free Beacon, the Oversight Committee's chairman Rep. James Comer (R., Ky.) said he remained concerned that the center "undermined public integrity and pushed radical Democrat policies that increase energy costs for Americans, despite billing itself as 'nonpartisan.'"

"The Committee is glad to see that this center will no longer be in operation," he added.

Another example: Being a leftist is playing life on easy mode with all cheat codes enabled.

🚨Fairfax County Supervisor Andres Jimenez who was clocked driving 104 mph in a 70 next to a school bus got a great deal in court.

His reckless driving criminal charge, which carried potential jail time, was reduced all the way down to an improper driving traffic infraction. Improper driving is several steps below reckless driving and carries no jail time.

For comparison, in 2014, Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth was convicted of reckless driving and sentenced to 10 days in jail for driving his Porsche over 100 mph on the Capital Beltway (Source: ESPN). Fairfax County General District Court Judge Penney Azcarate said at the time that the jail sentence was appropriate given the excessive speed.

WATCH BELOW: Video shows a Virginia State Trooper pulling over Fairfax County Supervisor Andres Jimenez for reckless driving. The video shows him driving fast next to a school bus.

The officer tells Jimenez he clocked him driving 104 mph in a 70. Jimenez said he wasn’t paying attention, apologized, said he was on his way to work and that the board meeting started in 20 minutes.

44 From the prior thread:

Regardless of whether or not you believe subliminal advertising works, advertisers pay psychology experts the big bucks for theories like that.

I float the idea that Converse may have stage it, with enough details that would make it doubtful.

But observing several years of watching Trump direct the media attention by outrage, I suspect that if it was deliberate, Converse probably didn't leave the discovery up to chance, and it actually paid the outrage seeders as well.

This is not something I rate as high-probability, but it's on the field for me.

Well. Why did American rage-aholics latch onto an global online ad campaign aimed at K-pop fanatics? According to Brave AI search summary, it was on the Converse U.S. website and all over social media, such as the Converse Malaysia Instagram. It was visible to Americans but not really aimed at us, so I'll add rage seeding to the possibility matrix.

66 Well. Why did American rage-aholics latch onto an global online ad campaign aimed at K-pop fanatics? According to Brave AI search summary, it was on the Converse U.S. website and all over social media, such as the Converse Malaysia Instagram. It was visible to Americans but not really aimed at us, so I'll add rage seeding to the possibility matrix.

Because what you just said lends it plausible deniability.

And an ad campaign can be engineered to do more than one thing at a time.

You'll never find me insisting that's what it is, or even that people that don't accept it are in some sort of denial. I'm just putting that scenario out there.

It's also because while I can side with the idea it wasn't intentional, it's not something I have knowledge of that I can insist it's not intentional.

So, when the scenario of its being intentional came up, I put together a scenario of how I believe it could be intentional.

I really don't believe that KKK appeals more to Koreans than a top K-pop idol (who is cute as a bug in other vid). So, I think people are simply charting their stupidity to buy into that scenario

78 Imagine the corrupt abuse that would have occurred had Bloomberg ever gotten into the White House. Even without his presence, it is standard procedure when a Dem holds the Executive branch to have the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) issue federal grants to "conservation" groups and Climate Change proponents to use in legal costs in challenging the removal of regulatory overreach, or to lobby for new regulations using legal pressure.

IOW, the zealots still residing in the EPA (and despite Zeldin's efforts, there are many) shove taxpayer money to environmental groups to challenge the current policy and harden regulations...and then hire counsel on behalf of the EPA to take a dive and let them win. And, we pay for this.

There is still $20 Billion sitting in escrow in Citibank that Zeldin put a hold on...and that is being fought over in the Courts. And that $20 Billion was only designated to 8 non-profits.

87 Bloomberg & James Clyburn made Biden...President.

All of 'his climate policies were working closely with Bloomberg-backed initiatives like the Global Business Forum & America Is All.

Core Pillars: Inflation Reduction Act - roughly $369-$374 billion toward energy security & climate change mitigation. Clean Energy Tax Credits; Emissions Targets, and International re-engagement (rejoining the Paris Agreement & shifting development finance priorities at institutions like the World Bank).

Investments were intentionally designed to prioritize job creation & environmental justice for POC and historically disadvantaged communities. (Climate Power found +/- 66% of new clean energy jobs & 74% of projects spurred by the IRA were located in communities of color.

The Justice40 Mandate: 40% of the overall benefits of federal climate change, clean energy, affordable housing, and pollution-remediation investments flow directly to disadvantaged communities.

The American Climate Corps. Local hiring preferences & labor standards, and green manufacturing & EV supply chains.

Environmental & Climate Justice Block Grants, and more.

Bloomberg pushed the bottom up alignment.

Cops have a caltrop/spike strip device that fits in the hand. When they're dealing with someone they suspect will take off, they can put it right in front of the tire. No need to get in front of the pursuit and throw spike strips in front of a speeding car. It's pretty nifty.

For me, that's a strawman. I'm not saying anything "was" anything. I'm explaining a scenario.

Because I can't say it definitely wasn't intentional. I wanted to. I started to. But as I thought about it, the scenarios for intentionality came to me.

First of all, they could have spent a billion on that one photo, and yes, it still could have been incidental or simply whatever shapes they were. That's not off the table. So it's not like money = inevitability.

So when I said that people would be shocked at how much money they spend to engineer photos it's not about shapes can't be incidental. But it is about how much attention and engineering goes into one single photo that attenuates the case that something is simply incidental. Which leaves room for a separate thing to be engineered into the shot.

And repeatedly I have said that if they did one end, they probably did the other. I am not affirming what the other side "found" was intentional, only that they may have planted a semblance that guerrilla viral marketting would crop.

Feed the Africans, save the spotted owls, stop the deforestation, on and on. There ARE actually good causes meanwhile. Nigerian Christians, Yazidi girls, disabled American veterans. And this is what he picks -- kill the internal combustion engine in America?

139 Cops have a caltrop/spike strip device that fits in the hand. When they're dealing with someone they suspect will take off, they can put it right in front of the tire. No need to get in front of the pursuit and throw spike strips in front of a speeding car. It's pretty nifty.

144 Democratic & multi-state coalitions of state attorneys general - led heavily by figures like New York AG Letitia James, Connecticut AG William Tong, and California AG Rob Bonta - have filed over 100 lawsuits against the Trump administration addressing a wide variety of executive actions & policies.

Key ongoing and recent legal battles include:

Multi-state coalitions filed lawsuits challenging the administration's abrupt cancellation and buyouts of offshore wind energy leases using Judgment Fund money. (Eight-state East Coast coalition with a separate concurrent lawsuit filed by California.)

State AGs secured a preliminary injunction blocking the administration's demands for sensitive personal information regarding commercial driver's license holders. (24 states and jurisdictions)

AGs have successfully blocked or won rulings against attempts to cut off federal food assistance and social service access for immigrant families and lawful permanent residents.(25-state makeup.)

Coalitions have continuously sued over executive orders attempting to exert federal control over state-run elections, NIH grant terminations, and public health funding rescissions.(The exact ^ 25-states.)

So when I said that people would be shocked at how much money they spend to engineer photos it's not about shapes can't be incidental. But it is about how much attention and engineering goes into one single photo that attenuates the case that something is simply incidental.

He carried on what Giulianni had started and completely re-invogirated NYC making it truly the capital of the world and had NYC spinning like a top, he got bored in his third term and let his inner Karen take over, and it's pretty much subsumed him.

As far as I saw, there is no frame in the video that is posed like that picture. It is a separate release of ~4 stills, not the video. AFAIS. There no frame with her putting the shoe on her head, AFAIS, but there is a still.

And the fact that it convinces you that other pictures other stills means it ABSOLUTELY was not intentional is something somebody could predict and use.

It does not diminish the engineered controversy scenario. In fact, it makes a better case for why converse is expecting more than a momentary backlash.

You have to look at the whole scenario I have proposed. None of it is "racist".

The intentional scenario finds it very likely that Converse set up the controversy by planting a semblance and then anonymously revealing it.

There is no way Converse could have paid for this much of their name in people's mouths.

That's their entire plan. To "fix" "society" (a strong holdover from Owen, btw). Thus they can't have you counteracting their "fix". You're part of the problem as part of unfixed society.

At least I'll say about Owen is that he bankrolled the whole "change". You didn't have to join his communes, and he didn't try to change your society in place.

And that's exactly what Marx thought was "socialism done wrong". It was voluntary.

Marx provided a logistical path to Owen's solution. He rode the wave of Rousseau, developed a theory of history, and made a crude "plan" of how to get to Owen's communes through historical development.

The funny thing is that Marx turns out to be the first person to say "He didnt' do socialism right".

The Control Group is every culture in all of human history, you don't need a parallel alternate/control universe when you have the Fourth Dimension.

But it wasn't just the 19th Amendment. Successive generations kept diluting the vote of people who had skin in the game.

15th - opened it up to non property owners
17th - took away State rights by popular election of the State's representatives.
19th - opened it up to emotional, irrational voters
23rd - allowed non-States to vote (further diluting the Union of States into an amorphous mess)
24th - removed the poll tax and allowed the dead, illegal aliens, street bums, welfare recipients, pets, fictional characters to vote
26th - Let people whose social mental development is still years off to vote.

All of these things conspired to turn elections into advanced auctions for stolen goods, since the one-way ratchet of returning to office is through gifts of other people's money.

177 Leftist are trying to fix you (as unit of "society"). So of course you are necessarily involved.

And if you don't reform, you should, in their theory, be removed from the solution.

This is why Nazism is simply an extreme case of social engineering: Jews, the theory goes, stood in the way of a gelling German state that could really make headway. "Jewish newspapers" were always critical of German government and German people. Jews also held a good part of the wealth of the German nation.

Jews were in the way.

This is simple government-as-social-transformation behavior. It's just vituperatively aimed at a genetic variety.

Nazism is special by the lengths to which they pursued a genocidal "reform". But it falls into the general category of government-as-social-transformation. A key note of "fascism".

People are in the way--useless eaters, like the infirm, disabled and elderly, who cannot contribute to the societal value of work, can be removed.

Currently, if you're not on board with UK progress, the UK removes you to prison--at least for the time being.

Fine, then it is mental masturbation since in real-life few get the luxury to create a walled off control group—because you don't even know what that walled off group would look like.

So you look for patterns, signals, cause and effect, you collect data, make reasonable assumptions, test your assumptions, modify if they don't back test.

What your saying, in effect, is that algorithmic trading can't possibly happen because there is no control group that can run in parallel to compare The Trade to The Non Trade.

There are prohibitions to illegal aliens and dead people voting, yet a significant portion of voting is by these groups. It isn't possible to set up a 19th Control Group because there are always people working a "fix" around the obstacle.

Grand Jury: There Was No Murder In the Drowning Death of Nolan Wells

For some reason, what Black Conservative Perspective calls "The Pro Blacks" are angry that a black kid was not murdered.


The Disney Groomer Network is probably all busted up about it, too.


The grand jury reviewing the evidence in the death of Nolan Wells has found that no criminal charges are warranted at this point, according to the Jackson County Grand Jury Report released late Monday night.

The report says that the "position of, condition of, time of discovery, and location" of the 18-year-old's body off the coast of Mississippi this July is "consistent with drowning."

Wells vanished after he and friends had gone out celebrating the Fourth of July holiday on barrier islands off the Gulf Coast. His body was recovered in the waters off Horn Island two days later.

Authorities have previously said they believe the college football player drowned, but the final determination would go to a grand jury that would review all the case materials, including the state medical examiner's completed autopsy report, to decide whether Wells' death involved a crime.

The grand jury of 23 people, convened last week, found "no credible evidence to support the public allegations" that anyone riding to or from the island that day surrounding Wells "engaged in any criminal conduct related to" his death.

The panel was comprised of what the report called a "cross section of citizens" from the area: 13 men and ten women, including "12 Caucasians, five African Americans, one Asian, two Hispanics, two Native Americans, and one individual who preferred 'other.'" Their ages ranged from 27 years old to 68 years old.

The grand jury heard from 43 witnesses and reviewed materials including physical evidence collected at the scene, digital evidence, police reports and interviews, videos, images and maps collected during the investigation.

That Wells drowned is a conclusion by the process of elimination, the grand jury report said, adding that the condition of the body made it harder to figure out. The long-awaited toxicology report was "not particularly informative as decomposition fluid is an unreliable source for evaluating substance levels within a body."

The panel found, however, that Wells had no cocaine in his system and no evidence he'd ever used it. The panel did find that Wells bought alcohol with a fake ID, and no adults of alcohol-buying age provided any to him on the island that day.

There was bruising on the back of Wells' head, which was "not a fatal injury," the report said. The grand jury "found no evidence of any fatal injury or organic disease to Mr. Wells' body."

The media refuses to report on black crimes against whites -- there is still no national reporting on the white girls dragged into the bushes by their hair to be beaten on by black "youths" during a Mostly Peaceful "Teen Takeover" -- on the theory that reporting black on white crimes would incense whites who would then start attacking blacks.

On the other hand, they are determined to report fake White on Black Hate Crimes, despite there being proof that whites were not involved.

Leftist politicians like Ayanna Presley and the media keep claiming that a black student was "lynched," despite there being videotape of him walking into the woods where he was found hanged carrying a rope.

He brought a rope for his own lynching? Or was he just walking around randomly with a rope and coincidentally ran into a Lynching Party who thought "wow, the guy brought his own lynchin' rope, must be our day!"

Meanwhile, the AP keeps reporting that a black woman found hanged is triggering black people, reminding them of whites lynching blacks.

They fail to report that there was a man arrested in the crime -- a black man who knew the victim personally.

L A R R Y
@LarryOConnor

19h

She was murdered by a black man.

@AP hates you and wants Americans divided and angry.

There is literally no other possible explanation for this garbage.

It's more than that. AP wants to boost black voter turnout and they're willing to lie and incite violence against whites to get it.

If they just wanted us "divided and angry," they would also report on the very much more numerous examples of black attacks on whites. They don't -- they completely embargo them.

If the media is concerned that reporting black on white crimes will incite whites to attack blacks, shouldn't they be even more concerned that misreporting fake white on black crimes will incite blacks to attack whites?

That seems the more pressing concerns, as the crime statistics show that a black person is hugely more likely to violently assault a white person than the reverse.

Yet they keep doing it.

Almost as if it's intentional.

This case still reeks. I cannot believe that they would be working so hard to discontinue investigation if Wells were a white kid who died under these circumstances.

The family needed a criminal prosecutor not a civil attorney. Ben crump should’ve never represented this family. Him and Al sharpton failed the wells family…

The criminal prosecutor is the district attorney who failed the family. The police failed the family. The community failed the family. Crump and Sharpton simply cast a brighter light on the situation, they have no authority to charge or prosecute anyone.

All of these bastards are in on it. It was a fucking obvious murder and i am beyond angry and beyond tired. IS THERE ANYThING that can now happen to keep calling this out or is Nolan Well's death just gonna be accepted as is???

I knew that was coming. They tampered with the whole thing from the start and those other kids' parents with their monies and lawyers were all over it.

I have a scenario about that.

First of all, one of the most lucrative jobs for a psychology PhD is in marketing and advertising.

Second, few people know how much engineering goes into one photo still, staging, retouching, everything and how much money that costs. In the 80s, advertisers could spend 50K for a one page ad.

Regardless of whether or not you believe subliminal advertising works, advertisers pay psychology experts the big bucks for theories like that.

I float the idea that Converse may have stage it, with enough details that would make it doubtful.

But observing several years of watching Trump direct the media attention by outrage, I suspect that if it was deliberate, Converse probably didn't leave the discovery up to chance, and it actually paid the outrage seeders as well.

This is not something I rate as high-probability, but it's on the field for me.

Now a feminine looking K-pop boy? that they would like

And I have to say occasionally I'll end up on a twitter page of some leftwing media figure and they ALL seem to like k-pop boy bands. Yes even the men.

People are tribal.

The only people that aren't, on one level, are those who adhere to some form of classical liberalism and its offshoots. And yet, they still have their tribe: those who oppose those who oppose their ideology. They'll take anyone who opposes those who oppose them. It's why Erick Erickson is far more concerned with attacking the "woke right" in all its forms which has no actual power than the establishment left which does have a lot of power.

It wasn’t deliberate.
It’s a typical modern Asian aesthetic shoe ad that some crazy black person here in the states hallucinated some kind of racial symbology from the way the model’s arm hangs down and a pair of Chucks.

There is nothing wrong with the ad.
It is performative delusion, and surely not marketing genius or they never would have ran it.

They’re Chucks.
Few people, outside of uncontacted tribes in the Amazon, don’t know Chucks.

Same reason so many people fell for the Russia collusion lies. Propaganda works which is why for a long time the federal government was prohibited from using against US citizens. Until Obama helped overturn the prohibition.

This is why Trump is trying to destroy the fake media. I agree with him, it is a national security threat when so many people can influenced by blatantly fake news.

Given the size of the populations, black on what crime is orders of magnitude greater than white on black but from the way the media covers it you would think it is just the opposite. The country would be in a much better place if they media didn't constantly lie.

121 Bryan Wilson Key published a book about his research into subliminal advertising.

The marketing psychologist tend to use a Freudian dynamic of sex and death. Again, whether or not you believe subliminal messages work, you probably know it's not impossible to get an uneasy feeling about a advertising shoot you can't explain.

For example--and this is the theory--smokers suppress their worry about cancer, but reminding them about cancer excites that complex, and they pursue relief through what? Cigarettes.

Hence, there was a cigarette add in Sports Illustrated. At the time, (I think it was) Cooper was the biggest supplier of Hockey equipment. But the lettering on the goalie's gloves cannot be mistaken for "Cooper" with any scrutiny. It doesn't look exactly like "Cancer", because that would just give it away, but it looks suggestively like "Cancer".

Again there is too much money and production put into a single still of of marketing, that some guerilla form of viral marketing is completely off the table.

It makes it even more likely that "they didn't do that on purpose" as the head of marketing appears to be some sort of mulatto.

Look I thought so also, but then I started looking at some of the clips/edits stills - there is nothing in a shoot like this that isn't planned. There is definitely a shot where they created a reflection of a klan hood on the skirt. In a prior shot it is a star. The arm of the star is removed and it is a profile of a hood. Not accidental. Part of the intended design. Also they darkened the image so it isn't clear that there aren't legs in the sneakers instead of the girls hand holding them and cropped the shot so it is suggestive. There is a side campaign where they have shoes hanging from a tree and guy on a ladder. It looks weird. Black and white. Its subconscious but they are doing a mind fcuk here. Its an op. None of it is accidental.

Oil going up 20% and then down 10% in like 2 weeks (it'll go further) is just trading on the news.

People freaked out about the east-west pipeline hit even though it was operating at about 40% capacity because the strait traffic had picked up to at least 60% pre-war levels (including Iran's oil, which shouldn't get counted because it was going black market to China and nowhere else), and the bypass to the hit was going to be up in a matter of days (it's up now, it was only days), all while the storage at the refining sights on the west coast of Saudi Arabia were actually full.

The actual facts on the ground didn't support the rise in prices, but the rise in prices happened because people are stupid, panicky animals.

I know a guy who bought a Tesla, brand new, with the money he made from shorting oil last week.

This is like leftie deadenders still wearing covid masks.

Yes, it's still over overall. It's over because normies ignore it now, it's not continuing as a social concern because the bitter clingers are still holding onto their masks.

Woke no longer has cultural purchase outside of blue enclaves. That's what people mean by woke being dead. Not that Democrats won't stop sounding like retards.

How much of that is due to the power of suggestion?

My youngest daughter is an excellent photographer and frequently shoots her friends partly in light and partly in deep shadows.

It is amazing to me, how much she can highlight, and how much she can de-emphasize, just using that technique. (Most of the shots are to make the girls look prettier - which she accomplishes.)

I am still skeptical that Converse created this controversy on purpose. OTOH, I never discount the deep stupidity of hipster marketing people.

So was I.

It got weird toward the end. But there are a couple things that stick.

It is lucrative to be a psychology PhD in marketing--and that makes sense. They spend so much more money per photo than you would ever expect. They touchup the hell out of these photos--for things like making "Cooper" look more like "Cancer".

And that they believe such psychological theories are worth the try, even if you might not.

Vance Packard showed in his book that they were already employing psychology experts to find out how to want you to use soap a whole lot more and change your mind about what was a clean enough house.

This was made in Korea.
Korean fashion photographers and models are not dreaming up ways to subliminally insult black Americans with KKK hoods and Chucks.

The reason the point of light is on her dress is because she is standing in the middle of a spotlight in the shape of a star.
It isn’t a hood, it’s a triangle of focused light on a dress that is a composition choice not a racist message.

I’ve got photos I’ve taken of Chucks hanging on an electric wire over a street, that doesn’t mean I’m secretly into electrocuting black people, because, I guess only black people wear Converse?

People are reading way too much into what is mostly just a difference in cultural aesthetics.

At my brother's workplace, one of his black colleagues told him he found out his ancestors were house slaves, so at least they didn't work in the fields.

There you go.

My majority "common sense" tells me, it wasn't deliberate.

However, inklings of why Converse might do this intentionally remain. Such a thing has nothing actually to do with recruiting white supremacists to wear their shoes (!!!), but possible strategies for viral marketing.

I simply don't rule the second out.

Having the mixed-race head of marketing is just a really well-placed shield.

Plus this could be seen as a way to get more conservative people to purposively buy Converse to support their brand as a reaction against lefty lunacy.

Well there they changed the image from showing a complete star on her dress, to just the hood outline and had to remove one arm of the star to do it. It is a false image. The arm of the star if it was real should be seen in that as well. The photo is darkened and cropped. Not accidental a choice. Just because it was shot in Korea doesn't mean it wasn't edited in New York. Its an op. And part of the op is to get you to think it all just innocent and nothing to see, while the other side is freaking out because its there to be seen.

The relentless retardery (redditardery?) would be astonishing if it weren't so common. "Working so hard to discontinue investigation?" That's literally inverted!

IANAL, but I believe it was an extraordinary measure, empaneling a grand jury to examine the evidence when they hadn't made a determination of foul play themselves. I'm pretty sure they usually just ask for a grand jury when there's a case they want to bring. (Maybe they should do this more often; I'm not saying it was wrong, just that it was unusual.) They bent over backwards to avoid even the appearance of bias or dismissiveness, and got no credit for it.

IF it were intentional, they probably did both ends.

224 Well there they changed the image from showing a complete star on her dress, to just the hood outline and had to remove one arm of the star to do it. It is a false image. The arm of the star if it was real should be seen in that as well. The photo is darkened and cropped.

Posted by: The turtles at September 22, 2026 04:30 PM


I won't presume to speculate about motives, but I think you are wrong by 180 degrees on the photo production.

I think the room was very dark, and they shot with the f-stop wide open. That makes the star crisp, and the background objects dimly visible.

Further, the projection light of the star is NOT straight over the model's head. It is forward of the model and tilted back toward the model to center her in the star projection.

One arm of the star has not been removed - it is illuminating her dress and creating the "hood image".

I can't state with certainty that is NOT a false image, but it certainly CAN be created with normal lighting and normal camera option selections.

I saw the Photoshop at first and thought it was definitely a KKK hood, but the real ad does not read that way unless you're retarded.
Posted by: Ian S.

=================

The image is CROPPED. You don't even see that "hood" as anything other than a triangular pane of light in a shadowed room unless you're mentally ill, or...

no one seems to have said it yet, but a BOT. I'm 100% sure you could feed that whole ad to a bot, give your parameters for racism and the liberty it can take in terms of cropping/zooming etc, and tell it to find something. Bot can find it.

--
If you look at the image with the complete star on the dress and compare the "hood". The horizontal arm of the star should be there at least in part because so much of the top point is showing. It isnt there. It has been edited. That's trivially easy to do with computer editing. Its intentional.

I'm not exactly going out on a limb here to say that the prevalent mood of a certain percentage of black Americans is rage. Not at anything they can name, of course, just, rage.

Of course they can't articulate what it is that makes them so angry, except that they believe that they should all be millionaires and the only thing keeping them from doing so are some vague accusations of "white privilege," which appears to be the privilege of working our asses off to get ahead.

I have encountered "black rage" on more than one occasion, and I have to say, that percentage of folks go from resting bitch face to swinging fists in less than a second, over anything at all, even if they have to make something up.

It is genetic in origin, but made worse by "the black community." It is truly anti-civilization.

"I didn't think they did cotton fields any more."

Where did you think the material came from for cotton jeans, t-shirts, etc.?

It is not so much that she is dumb, it is that she never stopped to think about it for even one second. I have lots of "smart" lefty friends that also never stop to think about anything.

If you acted like a third-grade teacher, and asked that lady if cotton clothes still exist, she would say yes. If you asked her where do you think they get the cotton, she would probably pause, and then quizzically answer "cotton fields".

Yet she is not capable of reaching a conclusion she "knows" without someone leading her there.

We no longer teach "thinking" in our public schools or universities.

You are thinking of the "Warrior Gene" or Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene.

the 'L' version, or MAOA-L stands for "low activity" and studies show that people with the low-activity gene are not automatically violent. However, they may react with higher levels of aggression when they face strong provocation or social rejection.

240 I think in 2026 it's time, finally, for race baiters to hang up their saddle.

Born and raised in MS. I can assure you it is not 1962.

I went to school with black kids and, in fact, the highest achiever after HS, as he is a black MD and attorney and Air Force retired. Others who happened to be white achieved the same degrees after HS. He and his wife came to a reunion in 2001, when I saw him last, and he greeted me as an old friend. We had one class together and he knew what a nitwit I am.

The fact that this poor drowned boy was with white FRIENDS...the word the race baiters omit...is telling. It is no big deal anymore.

On remote Horn Island there is no fresh water, restrooms, or development. I suspect booze, dehydration from booze, and heat were a factor as well as partying like it's 2026.

I know I partied very hard in 1976 after completing my third semester of nursing school with a huge group of friends. A rite of passage for colleges.

No one drowned in our group in that reservoir. I'm not saying it would not happen. Because I don't remember who I went with and what I did other than party and swim for an entire weekend. I dove off of cliffs. Yet I lived.

Angry Lesbian Karen Tries to Cancel Football Coach for Laughing at a Meme and Then Cries As She's Cancelled from TV
Plus: Colin Kaepernick Persists

genderambiguousmaxheadroom.jpg
Pictured: Lesbian Sports-Scold Jana Shortal,
aka Gender Ambiguous Max Headroom


First: There was some AI fake of a football coach slapping a female reporter for asking an impudent question.

This Angry Lesbian Karen demanded he apologize for merely chuckling at the silly AI video. She was trying to cancel a (spit) man for laughing at a joke.

Not that these two things are necessarily related -- apart from the fact that I doubt that male sports fans want to subject themselves to daily political lectures from an entitled and bitter lesbian Karen-- but she's now been booted from her TV perch and will appear only on streaming.

You know, like Don Lemon. Exiled to YouTube.


Breaking The News, KARE 11's weekday news analysis show hosted by Jana Shortal, is leaving Twin Cities TVs and moving to streaming only.

KARE 11 owner TEGNA announced Monday evening that the show, which has been running for more than 10 years after the 6 p.m. nightly news broadcast, is moving to a "new home exclusively on the station's streaming programs."

Angry Lesbian Karen is angry:


BTW, this Brave Defender of Women in Sports of course thinks that men beating girls in girls sports is a made-up Fake Problem that only stupid bigots worry about.

Bonus Wokesports: Colin Kaepernick continues making two absurd claims:

1, the NFL is just like slavery, and

2, this creaky old man, who was never better than low-average when he was young and in shape, is ready to play for the NFL again.

Put him in, coach. He's tanned, rested, out-of-shape, rusty, and also, never actually good.

Colin Kaepernick doubled down on his comparison between the NFL and the slave trade during a conversation with, wait for it, former ESPN commentator Ryan Clark.

Clark asked Kaepernick about the comparison, which he made during the 2021 Netflix series "Colin in Black & White."

"What they don't want you to understand is what's being established is a power dynamic," Kaepernick narrates during the series while depicting the NFL Scouting Combine as a slave auction.

"Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you, searching for any defect that might affect your performance. No boundary respected. No dignity left intact."

Instead of challenging Kaepernick on the ludicrous and offensive comparison, Clark asked him the following during an interview on his "Pivot" podcast:

"When did you truly start to have the realization that [the combine] reminds [you] of the slave trade?"

Kaepernick was eager to answer.

"You get to the point, where it's like, 'Strip down to your drawers,'" he responded. "It feels like a meat market."

He added that he did not have the "historical perspective at the time" in 2011 to understand what he now considers a "parallel" to a slave auction.

Kaepernick acknowledged that the NFL pays players millions of dollars. However, he argued that the "process and intentions behind the process [are] the same" as slavery.

...

It is hard to imagine a less honest or intelligent conversation taking place in sports media this year.

Grievance "studies" were created to agitate very stupid people to serve communist politics. The bait is that these "studies" are designed to be so simplistic that even retards can understand them, so they make very stupid people feel smart.

You can make a fortune making stupid people feel smart.

...

For context, Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since January 2017. He continues to claim that he is "ready" to return to the league and trains every morning as if he is still an NFL starting quarterback.

Really? Then why does he have big sagging moobs?

Guy's got tits bigger than Sydney Sweeney but he's ready to step in and play pro football tomorrow.

Adam Carolla wonders: What's wrong with him? Is he delusional?

Maybe. But also, his grift depends on him pushing the narrative that he's a pro football standout that's being unfairly kept out of the racist league due to being a Strong and Empowered Half-Black Man.

He'll be saying "Put me in coach, I'm ready" until he's fucking 76 and weighs 265 pounds.

By the way: Google identifies him as a "civil rights activist."

Claiming he's an Escaped Football Slave (who wants to go back to Slavery, but is being kept out of Slavery by Racist Slave-Masters) is the only thing putting food on his table, and based on his bust size, that's a big bill every week.

I was watching an episode of shark tanks. This lesbian couple rolls up holding hands one is hawt blonde one is cute-ish mixed race.

They get into the negotiations and one of sharks asks why should we give you moneys. The mixed race chicks goes only 10% of VC funding goes to women and of that only 10% to women of color and of that only 50% goes to gay women of color.

And I’m like well how many fucking gay women of color actually ask for VC funding? Very few. I’d bet the percent of those who do and get funding is higher than the percent of white straight men who ask for and get money. Because no VC wants to be accused of gay racism so they’ll throw over a couple of bucks to improve the ESG score.

57 For its faults, the NFL is close to the purest meritocracy on planet Earth.

If you're good enough, they will overlook anything and everything up to and including murder. *cough* Ray Lewis *cough*. So, Afro Jack over here can fuck off. If he was a top-flight QB in his prime, he would have found a team that would overlook his poisonous and divisive politics for as long as they kept winning games with him under center. However, like Ace said, he was never even close to being good enough to even stay on a practice squad with his negatives. On the other hand, there are quite a few guys who aren't top-flight talent but are exceptional leaders and "locker room glue" and their teams keep hammering their checks year after year.

He wasn't really complaining, but he doesn't have a contract renewal and was shocked because he usually has one before the final year of his existing one.

He knows he'll get his money, whether it's from ESPN or he breaks in a new partner on some other network.

But he was so difficult that Connie Mack got rid of him because the players complained so much. Mack later got rid of Shoeless Joe Jackson because he never listened or tried to improve himself.

But the clip he linked was some NFL player, something like, "if you hit a man--or woman ..."

212 Here's a snippet her wife wrote. She teaches "English Lit" at St. Thomas in St. Paul......what is a queer anti pastoral mode?? These folx all write the same way, garbled junk.

------------------------------
Like many readers before me who have been drawn to Thoreau’s writing because we find tensions there that go unresolved—stylistic, philosophical, libidinal, and so forth—reading this tension as an expression of the queer antipastoral modes helps me isolate a kind of textual edging that complicates and enlivens my sense of how Thoreau’s writing produces its relationship to its world, and to a future. In thinking about queerness and ecological concerns I appreciate Thoreau because, while there’s a very simple way we could say he writes “about nature,” his writing constantly defamiliarizes what might seem obvious.

According to her interview on mpr, she was behind the police tape, following orders, clearly marked as Press, and she was directly targeted. The person on the left and the right of her were not hit.

She has been absolutely phenomenal the past couple of weeks in terms of providing clear-eyed analysis and reporting - unlike some of her colleagues at KARE11 who have been guzzling the MAGA Kool-Aid.

I saw an article on Facebook about this incident. The comments are horribly nasty and also kept referring to her as a man just to be even more mean. A reporter behind the line should not be criticized for doing their job and certainly shouldn’t be attacked by agents!

If they are willing to execute people in broad daylight, imagine what they are doing to the people in the camps

232 Like many readers before me who have been drawn to Thoreau’s writing because we find tensions there that go unresolved—stylistic, philosophical, libidinal, and so forth—reading this tension as an expression of the queer antipastoral modes helps me isolate a kind of textual edging that complicates and enlivens my sense of how Thoreau’s writing produces its relationship to its world, and to a future. In thinking about queerness and ecological concerns I appreciate Thoreau because, while there’s a very simple way we could say he writes “about nature,” his writing constantly defamiliarizes what might seem obvious.

Not only that, they all prefer to get the high hits instead of the below the waist hits because a concussion will keep you out a week or two while a leg injury means you might miss the rest of the season.

Oh, and the last thing that any professional locker room wants is an attention seeking whore like Kaepernick. They don't care about Kelce banging Taylor Swift, or some other player's love life/drug use/legal woes as long as it doesn't affect the harmony of the locker room. But the second you start trying to get the spotlight on you for non-sports issues, they get pissed.

308 I love the KPMG hag that is getting dragged around. After working in the big 4 for more than I care to think about, she really f'd up. She's a manager for some of their audit clients. Audit work for big companies gets moved between different big 4s every few years for regulatory purposes. Managers and above get their pictures and bios on all proposals. Nobody wants this on their audit. Holy cow what red flag now. Not to mention it takes almost no skill to be an audit manager vs. senior manager or director (where you need to have a book of business). She is probably the person that is most easy to fire on her whole team.

There is an explanation somewhere, but I've lost track of it.

If you type in your post, that starts italics. Typing stops them. You won't see the italics - you'll just see what you type. But it works. My biggest fear is that I would start italics and forget to end them, thus winding up "in the barrel" as they say. But I have definitely forgotten to close the italics and they did not bleed over into subsequent posts.

RGIII was completely destroyed by Mike Shanahan. He was already injured with knee issues and they kept calling running plays for him. Sure, he occasionally scrambled, but they kept calling designed QB runs with a brace on and he got destroyed.

Exactly. Richard Todd was "God" and virtually unstoppable until a primo defense (I don't remember which) studied his every tendency, and he became a "solved problem" for teams with good enough defenses to copy.

People wouldn't believe this, but I'm a Lion's fan and I saw it myself. But Barry Sanders became largely a "solved problem" when the Giants, with a formidable defense, showed the rest of the league how to play him. And if you had a defense that could spare 3 men for the "triangle", you could hold Barry under 10 yards--oh sure, he was so physically talented that 1 or 2 times a game he could burn you big, but it wasn't always a TD. And so often, toward the end, running Barry frequently--again, against a top defense--left you 2nd and 12.

Mitchell wasn't a very good quarterback, but he frequently had to deal with yards like he had taken a minor sack.

390 RGIII was completely destroyed by Mike Shanahan. He was already injured with knee issues and they kept calling running plays for him. Sure, he occasionally scrambled, but they kept calling designed QB runs with a brace on and he got destroyed.

I've always thought he should've sued the f*ck out of him AND the Redskins for ruining his career with that idiocy.

The Bengals played him early on in that year and when they got a big lead Washington started with the option. The Bengals took the option to hammer him like hell whether he kept it or handed it off. He brought them back closer but in the end it was not enough but the kid took a heck of a pounding that day. I thought he would not last long at that rate.

I think that’s what it boils down to with a lot if female vegans, they don’t want to think about eating a cute animal.

So they all come up with “Meat is Murder”, like plants aren’t living things and don’t count because they don’t have a face to be cute with?

It helps a lot if you get drafted late by a good team and can develop into the role. Alex Smith was a #1 overall when the 49ers were crap and did poorly, when his contract was up he took a pay cut to stay on and became a long term starter for them and some other teams.

Some skilled slaves, like blacksmiths could work in town, make money and pay a percentage to the master on the home farm. In the Revolutionary war, there were quite a few slaves running single family farms in upstate NY where the Brits were invading under similar terms, and they joined the militia to resist the Brits and Indian invaders in the Saratoga campaign.

After Supreme Court Declines to Overrule State Supreme Court, Federal District Court Steps In to Allow Missouri to Use Its New Congressional Map for Midterm Elections

This is good for us. The "new" map, created in 2025, has been in use for over a year but was recently disallowed by the Missouri Supreme Court, which ordered the state to suddenly toss out the map that had been in use in favor of the previous 2022 map.

Isn't it strange that courts don't worry about the "chaos" of overturning established election procedures when doing so would help Democrats? And that this "chaos" factor is only used to overrule Republican initiatives, like Trump's EO to the Post Office to scan mail-in ballots for actual voter eligibility?

Well, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals apparently does think that the "chaos" factor should help Republicans just as other courts use it to help Democrats. He overruled the Missouri Supreme Court, pointing out that the "new" 2025 map has been the one candidates have been operating under for over a year and it would cause chaos to suddenly revert to the 2022 map, which has different district maps than the ones which have voted for the current candidates.

A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Missouri must use its Republican-favored 2025 redistricting map in November, despite the Supreme Court declining twice this month to intervene in the dispute.

The Supreme Court allowed a decision from the Missouri Supreme Court to take effect earlier this month, which ordered Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to use the 2022 map that favored Republicans in a 6-2 split.

The new 2025 map, which was used in the state primaries last month, favors Republicans in a 7-1 split by erasing Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City-based district, according to Politico.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the new map causes the least amount of confusion for voters this year because they have already used the map this year, but it allowed redistricting opponents one week to get relief from the Supreme Court.

"For approximately one year, Missouri operated under the 2025 map," the panel majority wrote. "During that time, Missourians filed to run for Congress, met candidates, watched campaign advertisements, received campaign mail and voted under the 2025 map.

"Any confusion stems from the last-minute decision by a state court to switch the congressional map," it added.

That's a little bit of good news to start this rainy day.

This gives Kavanaugh the out he was looking for. I now predict that Kavanaugh and the SC will allow this obviously bullshit 8th Circuit ruling to stand using Purcell, or some other mealy mouthed, nonsensical new "novel theory" to help Republicans, and saying its too late to change stuff 6 weeks before an election, right after the 8th Circuit changed stuff 6 weeks from an election.

Fun fact, since the Roberts SC started relying on Purcell, they have never once ruled on it in a way that ultimately helped Democrats. Not once so far. They've only given Dems procedural wins using Purcell, not final, decisive rulings, which have all only ruled in favor of Republicans. Every time. The fix is in, and they are barely trying to hide it.

26 Isn't it strange that courts don't worry about the "chaos" of overturning established election procedures when doing so would help Democrats? And that this "chaos" factor is only used to overrule Republican initiatives, like Trump's EO to the Post Office to scan mail-in ballots for actual voter eligibility?

Lefty judges will never rule in our favor. Judges that are more likely to rule by principle may give us bad news occasionally.

Looking at it by 50/50 analysis (it's not that), that means that the left gets at least 50% wins. The right gets ~25% wins, because we lose some when the law is against us. More likely, because conservative causes are more likely to be honorable and less likely novel (my reckoning), we probably get ~38-40% wins.

When the left can judge and venue shop, they get ~100% political gains. While the right could be more like ~75-80%.

Thus the ratchet proceeds to the left. Plus the way that Planned Parenthood and the Sierra Club keep funding themselves by suing and settling with their conspirators in government.

We cannot have nice things.

Which is, I believe, what happened. SCOTUS refused to block the change but didn't rule on the underlying argument. They said, however, that they were refusing to block the change because the state court ruling had been in effect for a whole two hours and it would be chaos to change it. So, they were trying to be cutsey cuz they knew the state court was wrong but they didn't want to overturn for this election.

They really think it's "fair" for Viacom to fund whatever fell out of Jon Stewart's front crapper regardless of how near elections it was, but Citizens United, founded to create documentaries, couldn't release a documentary about Hillary because it was "too close to elections". Stewart himself is out there saying that corporations have "too much money" and "disproportionate influence".

You know...like Viacom.

I understand why Hillary still whines about Citizens United, but I don't understand the left. If you want to reign in "dark money", you can change the way that 501c4 corporations work!

It won't change the way that Viacom itself used money to put Jon Stewart's political snark in front of everybody, and if the government reigned that in the money would still be equated to "speech".

Heck, it would have been "speech" had the government disallowed the buying of porn, because "money is not speech".

One obvious point in all this - if a political party is telling you to shut yourself off from the parents...the people that loved you enough to give birth to you and raise you maybe you should consider why that would be...

Now yes there are some shitty parents. And yes there are good parents with a poor understanding of politics. But outside of a spouse your parents are likely the only people in your life that are willing to really sacrifice to make your life better so if someone is telling you to stop listening to those people you should question why.

81 So, I see the new thing is for adult children to cut themselves off from their parents. Because they were beaten, starved and put to work in the mines and mills? No, for the AC's "peace". Or something like that. Just one more step in the dissolution of families, an aim of the Left.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 22, 2026 01:40 PM (eRlcH)

I took the decision to (functionally) cut myself off from my parents. The final straw was my mom telling me Charlie Kirk deserved it, but going all the way back to Trump I, she was telling my very, very small children the President was a notsee and a rapist. At every interaction. Despite me asking, then telling them to stop, then telling them I'd stop bringing their grandkids if she wouldn't stop.

She wouldn't stop. My kids and I see them about twice a year and talk on the phone almost never.

I hate it, but there's nothing I won't sacrifice to protect my children.

The question is what rationale did the Missouri Supreme Court use to deny the redistricting? I don't know the answer to that. I believe that SCOTUS, generally, defers to state supreme courts on matters of state law unless a ruling is so obviously BS that the normies take notice.

Dad said we'd all have our shares and if anyone complained they'd get a dollar. Then he died, and his widow is now writing people in and out of the will depending on how must she perceives them to be sucking up to her, and saying this is what Dad intended. (She's a crazy narcissist.)

As a consequence, Youngest Brother and Sister are being entirely obnoxious about getting docs in place for the disposition of Mom and Stepdad's property, presumably so Step-dad can't do the same thing as Dad's widow if Mom predeceases him. (He wouldn't, but he's also not inclined to give their property to people who only visit occasionally, don't do any work toward the maintenance and improvement of the place, and who haven't expressed any intention to give him and Mom any support in their old age.)

Dad said we'd all have our shares and if anyone complained they'd get a dollar. Then he died, and his widow is now writing people in and out of the will depending on how must she perceives them to be sucking up to her, and saying this is what Dad intended. (She's a crazy narcissist.)

As a consequence, Youngest Brother and Sister are being entirely obnoxious about getting docs in place for the disposition of Mom and Stepdad's property, presumably so Step-dad can't do the same thing as Dad's widow if Mom predeceases him. (He wouldn't, but he's also not inclined to give their property to people who only visit occasionally, don't do any work toward the maintenance and improvement of the place, and who haven't expressed any intention to give him and Mom any support in their old age.)

The vast majority of the Anti Admin lawsuits? The plaintiffs have no standing to even sue.

You have to show how you can be damaged in a material way, to have standing... and show how some action can 'fix' the problem.

How is anyone damaged by Trump's name going on the Kennedy center? How is anyone damaged by building a Whitehouse Ballroom?

Heck, unless the plaintiffs are people actually running for office, how are they damaged by changes to Congressional districts?

But... pretty sure... none of the plaintiffs are actually running for office.

They have their own families and their own priorities for benefitting their families. And they're both afraid, I think, that they'll never be able to accomplish their priorities without an inheritance.

And I suspect that Younger Brother, at least, has internalized the idea that parents should leave an inheritance for their children - which is a good thing - without considering that children might have corresponding responsibilities to their parents in the distribution of that inheritance.

It ignores the most complexity though.

And amounts to a straw man.

It's like anti-nuclear-war faction. The pro-nuclear-war faction did not exist. Pro-nuclear-deterrence did, but that's actually also against nuclear war--you just don't buy that rationale.

Many people don't seem to understand how to operate within the system as designed. Cause politics is responsible. It effectively replaces traditional religious affiliations.

Libertarians used to like to quote Madison to me. It doesn't matter, once you have Cause politics, you lose (mere) enlightened self-interest, because the Cause has already decided that IT is everybody's best interest. And you lose the balance Madison implied.

Libertarianism is just another reform Cause. It suggests that YOU ARE WRONG if you are not on their agenda.

But interest-based---and balanced--politics tolerates different ideas of preference and interests. Causes don't.

Mom passed, there was nothing but cleaning out her apartment. She had paid for her cremation through The Neptune Society, so that worked out well.

Dad passed before his wife, so to the winner goes the spoils. Step-sister basically screwed everyone out of everything and the only money will go to pay for her and her brother's mother in a home (Parkinson's and dementia). By the time it's said and done, there won't be anything left to split 4 ways.

She should never be in my presence again, I'm betting.......

They get into the negotiations and one of sharks asks why should we give you moneys mixed race chicks goes only 10% of VC funding goes to women and of that only 10% to women of color and of that only 50% goes to gay women of color.

And I’m like well how many fucking gay women of color actually ask for VC funding? Very few. I’d bet the percent of those who do and get funding is higher than the percent of white straight men who ask and get money. Because no VC wants to be accused of gay racism so they’ll throw over a couple of bucks to improve the ESG score.

Understandable. My wife's family had a little more money than typical, and, despite a Pastor-ful church-oriented extended family, has never had a totally clean divvying.

My wife has barely gotten anything--and almost nothing she's asked for. Somehow her late deadbeat dad has remained the darling of his family's affections, but the lack of his presence to hold his own for his daughter, has gradually led to her getting not even the little she thought was reasonably connected to her. She was even accused of stealing a valuable ring from a diseased relative, and although I have some sort of bias, I have never seen any sign that she wanted more than a few keepsakes from people who were dear to her who passed.

Lindsay Clancy's Lawyer Asks Judge to Investigate the "Rogue" Juror

Boy, Gentry Leftists really don't believe any of the bullshit they say about Respeccing Black People's Lived Experience and Indigenous Ways of Knowing, do they?


Lindsay Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, is asking the court to allow for a thorough investigation of the holdout juror ... including access to his phone records and a review of his 2021 criminal charge for allegedly assaulting his wife.

The attorney filed a document in court recently asking the judge to let his team see the confidential juror questionnaire and "Juror Doe's record from the statewide domestic violence registry."

Reddington is asking for the juror's mobile phone records -- calls, texts, and data from August 27 through September 4.

The time period covers the dates the jury was deliberating over whether Lindsay should be found guilty of murdering her three kids.

The request also asks the court to preserve all the jury notes and the court's responses.

The black man disagreed with white liberal women! THROW THE UPPITY DARKIE IN JAIL!

78 Posted this last week:

🚨HUGE BREAKING UPDATE - 🚨The holdout juror broke his silence by speaking with an INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, Fugitive TV Podcast, this evening! 👏👏👏 HERE IS A FULL DETAILED WRITE-UP.

The holdout juror is NOT an immigrant. According to marriage and divorce records, he married a Haitian immigrant. She was illegal. He did not know this when he married her.

He did not show his face. He is keeping to himself since his name was doxxed on X. His life has been threatened, and people have stalked his house. NBC Boston did not give you the full story.

Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn’t want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen.

The incident with the nephew — according to the juror, there is a lot of information that many do not know. For example, the nephew is 6-foot-2, and Michael is only 5-foot-7. This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone.

83 But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter. Michael stated the truth will come out.

None of this matters when it comes to what happened in the courtroom. He filled out his paperwork appropriately. He did not lie on his paperwork. He was asked if he had ever been arrested, and he checked the box “yes” and afterward had to describe what happened.

He even took the stand, and the prosecutor asked him questions. He was questioned about his past arrest. He was then selected. I would like to make it very clear that this is something that happens with all of the potential jurors present. Which means that the jurors who have already been interviewed could have said this at any point, but they chose to keep that information from the public.

Michael told Fugitive TV that from day one, eight of the jurors automatically wanted to go for not guilty.

The eight jurors were “activists,” according to Michael. He said every day they voted, and the eight who were convinced that she was not guilty were doing their best to convince the other four that she was not guilty.

93 At the very end, it was him and another juror. She was also voting guilty. At the last minute, she caved. He said he knew she was guilty based on the EVIDENCE.

He was open about what he believed and what he said. He said the other jurors are telling half-truths or just outright lies.

He’s never been convicted of a crime. His past should not matter. He said that the entire time, his ex-wife was just trying to get status and citizenship to live in the U.S.

Michael said that the report on him that went viral, where they said they spoke with his family members, did not report exactly what was actually said. He said that the family members they spoke to were likely family members of his ex-wife, and he does not even speak with them. Therefore, they cannot know what actually happened in the jury room. Who DID NBC Boston speak with? According to Michael, it was not one of his own family members.

Michael stated that he believes he’s being targeted because he is a Republican - a Black Republican with conservative values. He believes that he was on a juror panel with a large number of Democratic voters. (Cont)

96 And he knows exactly what’s happening right now, and I think that you all do as well.

A Black Republican stood his ground. It is not surprising that he is now being dragged through the mud.

This is a very bad precedent for people who will serve on a jury in the future for a national case. No one wants to do this when, based on their decision that they say is based on the evidence, they are crucified online for their political beliefs. You have all seen it. You have seen the threats that I get on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what this man is going through.

But for now, I stand with the Black conservative Republican juror.

If left-leaning activist media outlets are going to report on this, they better start sharing the full story! He filed for divorce first. He did not lie on his questionnaire. His past doesn’t matter. He was not convicted. We don’t know the full story with his nephew. And the media did not speak with any of his direct family members.

130 Almost all of the comments on the latest news for the Clancy trial on the Daily Mail and YouTube are 100% for the black juror. I find it hilarious that everybody's eyes are being opened to see what a scummy defense lawyer Reddington is and how awful the other jurors are.

I don't think it's going the way they thought it would be going. People are pretty furious about this.

I hope it backfires spectacularly on these jurors and Reddington.

He left the tribe.

This makes an interesting point -- tribes exist and the Dems rely on tribal cohesion (their so called "coalition") but what you need to know about tribes is that they are self-enforcing and the punishment for leaving the tribe is brutal.

An example, if you are JW and piss of the JWs (Jehovah Witness) then they dissfellowship you and no JW is allowed to speak to you (shunning.)

In islam, they chop off your head. In scientology, they do something similar. It is all tribalism and so this dude must be punished to maintain the tribe.

Interesting article (also YouTube) -

In part, "Eleven people believed one thing while the only Black juror believed something different. That alone does not make him a civil-rights hero, and it does not make him a villain. It makes him a juror exercising the very independence our jury system is supposed to protect."

Hang him next to his demon bitch client.

With a single loop noose* and their hands free.

So they can both claw at their necks and flail helplessly as they slowly choke to death.

Just like that bitch demon did to her children.

We'll say the Constitution had post-partum depression for a minute there, so their execution doesn't violate the 8th.
And fuck the Supreme Court to say otherwise.

* a traditional noose, with the multiple loops, is to ensure a quicker death. Those two shitbags don't deserve such mercy.

______________________________

Social Media Ban: Massachusetts courts strictly prohibit jurors from posting about the trial, messaging others about it, or checking social media connections tied to the trial participants
___________________________

Once again, I think the obvious coordination in dress (wearing pink) by any of the jurors shows a complete disregard for objectivity, but also shows a coordination and communication outside of the deliberation room between jurors. Massachusetts jurors are strictly prohibited from discussing the case with each other outside of the formal deliberation room. This rule explicitly exists to prevent premature judgement.

How do you prove that she wasn't "temporarily insane" at the time of the killings?

"Reasonable doubt" is a rough standard. It's up to the jurors to decide whether or not the prosecution proved their case within that margin.

The purpose of voir dire is to eliminate personalities that have a block to assessing what is a more or less reasonable doubt. Once they are on the jury, they have some leeway to decide whether the reasonable doubt standard was reached.

This is not perfect, but that's like a lot of the parts of our system.

Retarded people are either capable of violence or not. The vast majority of the people in that class are not. So, you're actually providing for a case that you're not likely to get. And you're missing the case of a person too impaired to be controlled, so they are a walking loaded gun.

Crazy people are dangerous according to the current state of their psychosis. If they are crazy enough to commit one act of violence, again they are not controlled.

In both cases, it is likely you're dealing with somebody who does not have the ability to enjoy their liberty, and are dangers to the public, arguably.

ANY pause in her actions during her so-called "psychotic break", ANY single rational action, ANY attempt to deceive or coverup, is to me, sufficient evidence that rationality was resumed, even if fleeting and temporary and later actions were also insanely irrational.

Just that little bit of non-insane moment is enough evidence for me to conclude she had the opportunity to stop the killing and that she chose not to.

One of the male jurors who flipped exclaimed "That's disgusting--those were used to kill children!!"

Did she say that before or after the crimes? Afterwards, then it is mere self-justification.

304 Good afternoon Ace and everyone How the Hell can a lawyer question a juror?
==
Before opening statements its called Voir Dire. After a verdict, in post trial motions it is called impeaching the jury's verdict and is generally frowned upon, at least in my state. There are specific rules about what can be done and not done. You can't rely on anything a juror says post verdict, unless it is supported by outside evidence besides juror statements, or some such nonsense like that. So the Karen's post trial interviews wouldn't count for shit in my state. That is probably why he is fishing for phone information. The phone is outside evidence beyond juror statements. If the juror texted somebody like: "I'm finding the bitch guilty even though she is nuts" it will definitely help the argument.

305 This is pretty much a microcosm of how a disagreement with a Progressive always goes. But, in this case it is in a formal setting with higher stakes and more tools.

Disagreement occurs. The progressive rigs the playing field, and makes their argument through intimidation and numbers with little consideration for the overall purpose of the discussion ("he couldn't get past the 3 dead children"). Progressive resorts to ad hominem attack and character assassination (again overlooking the substance of the original argument).

Progressive requires virtue superiority and platitudes from likeminded progressives, and immediately seeks a forum to complain (usually in a group to continue the "argument by numbers").

Progressive pushes for punishment towards party disagreeing with them to establish a precedent for the next one to disagree.

This is all done in a narcicistic sense of supriority and immaculate correctness.

The Morning Rant: Chris Murphy...Retard!

punk-monkey.jpg

Look up the term "Useful Idiot" in the dictionary, and it is illustrated with a photograph of Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.

Normally I would assume malign motives when a politician is so doctrinaire and so willing to spout the tedious and predictable progressive cant that can be summarized in a few sentences by any college sophomore, bong in hand, on a Saturday night in the dorms.

And I have no doubt that Chris Murphy is indeed an evil prick, but he is also in the running for the United States Senate Booby Prize for dumbest senator. How he plans to achieve the goal that even Cuba, China, and the UK struggle with is beyond me, but that doesn't stop him from babbling this incoherent nonsense!

Chris Murphy calls for 'regulating the internet' so people won't fall for a 'demagogue like Donald Trump'

"That's why regulating the internet so that you're spending less time alone on Instagram should be an important government project," he said. "And if people are feeling more powerful and less lonely, then they are going to be less likely to fall for a bulls--- demagogue like Donald Trump. And what I say in the book is that if you really think about the things that make you more connected and make you more powerful, they're not actually super partisan."

"...they're not actually super partisan." Obviously the transcript left off the "dude" at the end of the sentence. What exactly is Senator Retard proposing? AI monitoring of everyone's social media usage, with preprogrammed cutoffs in the event anybody reaches a predetermined number of views of right-of-center videos or reels or TikToks or whatever?

Why...Yes! That's exactly what he is proposing! And of course he and his other knuckle-dragging, booger-eating retard buddies in the Senate would pass "sensible" legislation mandating this.

That's not authoritarian...that is full-blown dictatorship, and little Chrissy of the small brain is all for it. These are the people who love FLOCK cameras and shouting down speakers on university campuses and dropping the charges against arsonists because they were "mostly peaceful" and cheering on the maniacs who saw Charlie Kirk's murder and shouted, "MORE!"

Our rights protecting us from government overreach are not negotiable, and pushing back against the constant encroachment by all government entities is a noble and necessary activity. Freedom and liberty are, by definition, messy in comparison to the locked-down society that these little Stalins crave.

As the saying goes..."The 1st Amendment is protected by the 2nd Amendment." That's not hyperbole...that is reality!

While there is no one-world government that pre-empts national sovereignty (yet), if nations get together to demand corporations like instagram, meta, etc., provide "guardrails" on their products or face large fines or market exclusion, they will comply. The easiest way to comply is to make one model that is universally compliant. Voila!

An explosion of laws and regulations suggests a people no longer capable of governing themselves. (Or, not allowed to.)

In 1850, a congressional district had less than 100,000 people. Today it's over 700,000. That a MASSIVE loss of representation.

I don't care if it makes congress unworkable (that would be a benefit, actually), we need to increase the size of the house to over 2,000.

Murphy is gutless in 'Democrat' theaters, a male equivalent of an AWFL on the streets. While he dodges labels & not quite endorses democratic socialism, he also argues the party should focus on "common good capitalism," (Like Vietnam's?) addressing economic grievances through higher minimum wages and strong unions—rather than relying on defensive incrementalism.

If you don't know who Robert Owen is, you don't know a lot about the history of the American left. Marx adopted Owen's "socialism" as his theory of progress, and Marx's "communism" refers to Owen's communes (it ain't fuckin' Bolshevism, or the "Dictatorship (In the Name) of the Proletariat".)

They knew, they always knew. Yet we were told to make our own masks for how long? Allegedly, the recommendation to make homemade cloth masks in 2020 was a direct result of unprecedented global supply chain failures and a critical shortage of medical-grade Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Hmm.

160 If only they had had paper masks in 1919.

If only we did.

During the 1918 Spanish Flu, cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland enacted strict ordinances requiring citizens to wear gauze or cheesecloth face coverings in public, with violators facing fines or imprisonment.

They probably would have been more attuned to masks in 1919, what with all troops returning from gas warfare, and the news around it.

Posted by: Biff Pocoroba

Indeed.

When the flu hit, cities like San Francisco applied this wartime mentality to public health, labeling people who refused to wear gauze masks as "mask slackers."
In late 1918, compliance was incredibly high due to this lingering wartime discipline.

By 1919, "pandemic fatigue" had set in. Once the armistice was signed, the public's willingness to tolerate restrictions plummeted, leading to the rise of groups like the Anti-Mask League.

60 Themes: The work explores themes of sexuality and societal fringes, typical of Koch's oeuvre, which often includes elements of eroticism and psychological complexity.

Technique: Koch is known for his meticulous painting style, which combines realism with a sense of unease, enhancing the impact of the subject matter.

I guess a urinal can be sexual if it's for gay men.

Raking leaves was great in the early 70s, when you could make a big ol' leaf pile and jump in it, then set it on fire and roast hot dogs and marshmallows over it.

It totally ruined fall when they prohibited leaf-burning.

I actually like days like this in the fall. It makes me contemplative.

You can't really be contemplative in the summer, unless you're contemplating a bikini- or sundress-clad woman.

But then you get sweater- and boot-clad women in the fall and winter. But I contemplate other stuff in the fall as well as those.

163 Nocturne, 1930
Pyke Koch

That's not a designated meeting place in Philly now?

Museum Arnhem:
"... is an evening scene featuring a round metal hut illuminated from within. White houses stand in the background. The hut is a public toilet for men and was common in Utrecht, where Pyke Koch lived. It is a strange tribute to a public place that also served as an intimate meeting place for homosexuals and was used for sex work. However, the painting does not explicitly refer to this. Nevertheless, in the early 1930s, Koch was indeed fascinated by the fringes of society and the underbelly of society. Nocturne is a good example of this. Koch studied law but changed course to become an artist. He began exhibiting in 1928. His work was immediately acclaimed. Although self-taught, he did take some lessons here and there and received advice. Koch presented this work for the first time at an exhibition in 1930. Reactions in the press showed that the subject was considered dirty, rigid, obscene, and insensitive. Yet the canvas depicts nothing more and nothing less than a small public building."

The Morning Report — 9/ 22 /26

HighMarx.jpg

Good morning kids. Welcome to the first day of Fall . . .

So let's start off with the end result and work our way backwards, just like our society!

On Sept. 10, 2026, one year from the date that Charlie Kirk was horrifically assassinated on the nearby Utah Valley University campus, Utah student Sara Larsen approached members of the campus College Republicans chapter while they were tabling on campus and attempted to hand them a cake celebrating Kirk’s annihilation. The white cake was decorated with blood red icing reading “Happy Kirkiversary.” In the eyes of the university, the public blowback Sara Larsen received over her “Happy Kirkiversary” cake was the fault of the College Republicans—because they posted a picture of it. The university was attempting punish the College Republicans for exposing Larsen’s public celebration of Charlie Kirk’s death.

Again, this is like blaming the Jews incinerated in the crematoria for the smoke conditions over Southern Poland.

And we get vermin like Sara Larsen from breeding grounds like UV U and now starting in pre-school!

More than half of US college students say controversial speakers should be banned from their campuses, with a record-high number adding that violence is acceptable to stop them, a disturbing study shows.

The results provide a dangerous and “sobering picture” of cancel culture on US campuses, according to the expansive six-year study of almost 300,000 college undergraduates nationwide by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

“The atmosphere isn’t just cautious — it’s hostile,” the study’s authors wrote. “Students continue to show low tolerance for controversial speakers, and troublingly, more believe it’s acceptable to shout down a speaker, block access to events, or even resort to violence to silence campus speech than ever before.”

The percentage of students who supported disruptive or even violent tactics to suppress controversial speakers meanwhile went up between 2021 and 2025.

An astonishing 34% of students nationally believe violence is acceptable to stop a campus speech, up from 20% in 2022. 

More than half of students, or 54%, support blocking others from attending a campus speech, while almost three-quarters, 71%, call for shouting down a speaker they don’t like.

The top 10 most intolerant campuses were predominantly in one state: Massachusetts, the survey added.

Conservative views are most under attack on college campuses, according to an interpretation of the data by the Missing Data Depot.

the immortal lyrics of Rogers and Hammerstein really hit home, don't they?!

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear
You've got to be taught
From year to year
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be carefully taught alright!

If you want evidence that teachers’ unions are nothing more than taxpayer-funded left-wing rackets, look no further than the evidence dug up by the Progressive Policy Institute — a group founded by centrist Democrats...So, what are these unions doing with all that money they collect if not fighting to fulfill their stated missions? Turns out, they are far more interested in getting Democrats elected and pushing far-left causes... This includes more than $2.4 million to the far-left Center for American Progress, $7 million to the Democratic Governors Association, nearly $26 million to the Democrats’ House Majority PAC and $32 million to the Senate Majority PAC. And, maybe because they figure it will cut down on class sizes, more than $400,000 to pro-abortion groups...Add it all up, and you have organizations that extort money from taxpayers to finance a protection racket for themselves, their Democratic patrons, and various far-left causes (which few taxpayers would support), while engaging in fraud by pretending to be looking out for the interests of public-school students. We’re not lawyers, but we’d say that classifies as a criminal racket under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

RICO Act and firing squads.


Yes we're at war but only one side seems to be taking all the casualties, our side!

Welcome to the new America; these are all socialist operations, diametrically opposed to the reconciling virtues of our nation’s founding as a constitutional republic. The “party” name Democratic no longer applies. We are at war, and our nation has become a thousand battlegrounds.

On all these uplifting notes, I bid you all to have a good day.

“Do you think you should be criticized for taking time to meet with the president?” another asked. “I think a lot of people see your strategy around the president as curbing your criticism of him. I feel like you don’t often launch personal attacks on him…Do you still think this tactic is worth it?” said another.

65 When Elon Musk crossed the $1 trillion net worth threshold, the world scrambled for explanations. The companies. The risk-taking. The sheer volume of hours worked. But buried beneath all of it is a habit so quiet it barely makes the headlines — one he shares with Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and Bill Gates. It's called the 5-Hour Rule: one hour a day, five days a week, devoted entirely to learning. No meetings. No output. Just reading, thinking, and absorbing ideas.
I read maybe one book last year. I'm not sure I finished it. So when I found out that the world's richest person treats deliberate learning as non-negotiable — the same way most of us treat lunch — I wanted to know what would happen if I tried it too. For 30 days, I committed to following the 5-Hour Rule. Here's what I found.
Even Apple recommends Blinkist for those who are lifelong learners, naming it one of the best apps in the world. And Apple CEO Tim Cook — himself a Blinkist user — even stopped by the Berlin office to see what the fuss was about.

She may have been worried about a hypothetical hypocrisy charge from whom? From the teachers who haven't murdered their own children and send their survivors to private schools?

She can't defend making a best effort to save her own kid's life? She could always lie and say that Trump's DoE has ruined public education, and this is her way to protest. Time frames don't matter, just saying "Trump" triggers a complete irrational hysterical emotional chain reaction.

103 According to the Hill, some lawmakers are blaming this on the state of the economy — namely, rising gas prices. Monday’s national average clocked in at $4.4786 per gallon, up from an average of $3.1834 one year ago.

Eleven US refineries have stopped processing crude oil in the past six year, two - both in California - in the past year. That's a big component of the cost of fuel. And why is it? What is happening which is causing these shutdowns? What has Congress done to alleviate the issues? Nothing. Just like they've done to alleviate all other issues.

That entire article would be more accurate if they would replace the word "controversial" with the word "conservative."

Liberally indoctrinated college students think it's OK to commit violence against conservative speakers because they disagree or don't like what they say.

Conservative students aren't committing acts of anything against liberal speakers.

153 It would appear that the whole freedom of speech thing has been forgotten by a bunch of academics and their students. I would think that if a college student body has a third of their students who believe violence is an appropriate response to political speech, perhaps the feds should just suspend all education programs, loans, grants, etc, to the school. If it is a state school, perhaps they should remind the state their federal K-12 money will evaporate as well.

The rationale behind publicly funded and supported K-12 and beyond education is getting pretty ripe. We need more factory and trade workers. The left loves Germany right? Not everyone gets to go to college. You don't test well enough, you go off on to a non-academic track.

170 An astonishing 34% of students nationally believe violence is acceptable to stop a campus speech, up from 20% in 2022.

More than half of students, or 54%, support blocking others from attending a campus speech, while almost three-quarters, 71%, call for shouting down a speaker they don’t like.


This is all because violence works. And it only comes from the left.

Until one of two things change they will embrace violence:

1) It stops working politically either because
A) Right leaning officeholders put them in jail
B) LIVs stop voting for them

2) Right leaning partisans respond with equal or greater violence

And honestly I don't see any of that happening. Even after Trump was actually shot he's barely prosecuting the networks that planned his assassination attempts. I suspect the polls are in fact skewed but this violence isn't really hurting leftwing election efforts. Finally even with COVID and the prospect of the government forcibly injecting your kids with the poison there was no armed response...

201 So, O/T.......

My brother has been limited at work, due to his vision and apparent alcohol issues (work isn't aware of that). It seems he's got himself locked out and they can't figure out why or get it reset, so he needed to go to an office. My neighbor works in the IT department as well, so he graciously volunteered to take him in and work to get it resolved.

This is the first time I've seen my brother in a little while and I can only say it doesn't help my mental state. His vision has gotten REALLY bad. He can't see hardly at all and there doesn't appear to be enough light in the world to make it work.

It also seems his body is failing in some way that he's got a serious rash around his ankles that have his socks just nasty with blood and fluid. I'm not sure if that's a liver thing or if that's something else.

His wife is a medical assistant, so I can't imagine why he's either not being treated or if something is being done. He has a pretty significant level of give up because he's going blind, but it seems his wife has given up as well.

I just never imagined life would hand me, personally, so much hardship and tribulation.

Again, I now know what day to day means.

But when she got to the home, Peters loaded Mendoza, who was underage, up with “excessive amounts of alcohol” and then had sex with her when she was too inebriated to give consent, and again when she was asleep, the lawsuit alleges.


This is horrible and assuming it is true hopefully Peters will get a long jail sentence but...can we go back to teaching young women to not go alone to the home of a man they don't know?

260 58% of college students are female.

This is going to help further damage marriage rates.

Women do not want to 'marry down,' but they are actively creating a world in which men - increasingly correctly - see college as a waste of time and money as well as a significant risk to their freedom.

A college-educated woman simply isn't going to marry a non-college man.

The loudest, most strident women are hurting normal women and they either don't see or don't care.

264 Our new tech is Awesome!

DENVER (KDVR) — New video shows a Waymo robotaxi driving down a closed road and through a Denver farmers market.

160 vendors were setting up about 8:15 a.m. Sunday at the South Pearl Street Farmers Market when the self-driving vehicle came through.

"It entered through our food truck area," said Nicole Jarman, the production director of the farmers market.

Jarman said there was a "Road Closed" sign on one side of the street, but the other side of the street was still open to vendor traffic during set up and the Waymo" followed a vendor vehicle past the sign and then turned onto the 1400 block of South Pearl Street.

"This is what equality looks like."

Last week, Sabrina Habib wrote a piece of the Philadelphia Daily News - Inquirer, 'The Value of Child Care.' Trump administration plan reveals how little public money America is willing to put behind child care in any form.

"The debate usually stops with two mothers: The one who wants to stay at home and the one who needs childcare in order to work. It overlooks a third woman whose livelihood depends on those same dollars: the childcare workers.

About 98% of center-based early-childhood teaching staff are female, earning a median of less than $17 an hour...

It ends, "Parents at home are under-supported. Childcare workers are underpaid. Families who need care and qualify are struck on waiting lists. And rather than fixing any of those shortages, the administration is proposing to make them compete against one another.

American can do better than deciding which woman's care counts."

Interesting article but I have no faith in the dramatic close, and this is Pennsylvania. (The Socialists are this 🤏🏻 close.)

To the matter at hand: It's a bizarre mixture of babysitting and supposed to be Universal Pre-K teaching throughout the nation where the number of births and the overall fertility rate in the United States have dropped by roughly 16% to 25% over the last two decades.

Demographers track this structural shift starting specifically around 2007 (right before the Great Recession), which

326 served as the modern peak for American births. (AI)

During & after C19, there were massive infusions of federal money—starting with the CARES Act and later the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Stabilization Grants - gone now - plus the core Federal funding stream: childcare and development block grants, TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), Head Start & Early Head Start.

(Aside: Biden & his Autopen Troop had inflation up to 9%.)

Not to mention state funding and subsidies...all depending, of course. And teachers' unions are incredibly powerful influencing how Pre-K/Head Start systems are built (in public schools or outside) because teachers in public schools are public employees.

Like Medicaid, states can increase their contributions for childcare expansion. And also like Medicaid, the programs are ripe for fraud as evident by the news in states such as MN and CA. (And you know it's so much more widespread).

Hopefully the administration reflects deeply on its latest bright idea for childcare subsidies before throwing more good money after bad.

It will never be loved more or hated less by the Left, and it's only putting fuel on fire.

Good day

328 Former ABC News journalist Terry Moran claims that he wanted to do a story about Joe Biden’ failing health back in late 2023 or early 2024, but was shut down by unnamed higher ups at the network. He made these claims during a podcast appearance with the Daily Beast.

If this sounds familiar to you, it’s because just a few weeks ago, Moran appeared on a different podcast and claimed that he wanted to do a story about Covid-19 being due to a lab leak but was shut down by the network.

You can't even get a SSD with more than 512GB, apparently.
That's how they made a 14" laptop with an OLED and still keep the price at $899.

32 Good morning. all!

Had such a nice day yesterday. Today is our anniversary, ( We got married in the previous century) but since spouse had the day off yesterday we went to a lovely little town about an hour away. Many of the houses date from the 1800's. Most of the shops were closed but we went to pet boutique, the biscotti bakery and the a place with antiques. There was a man there finishing old furniture there and I got a pair of antique earrings. We had very nice conservations with the shop owners!

A highlight of the time was stoping at a church which was originally founded in the 1700's but was redone in the 1800's. I liked the outside. The pastor's wife ( they live next door in the parsonage) saw us and invited us to see the inside of the church and her husband was inside . What a beautiful church and we had such a nice talk ! Thanks, God!

39 My favorite Google hardware failure was the Nexus Q that was released in 2012 and lasted about month before was killed off.

Google made two fundamental errors with the Nexus Q. The first was the Google engineers were macro-dosing LSD while under specifying the device. They also overlooked that they were releasing a product into a well defined market space that had formidable entrenched competitors such as Apple, Sony, Roku and so on. Essentially nobody knew what the hell this thing was supposed to do.

On the plus side it came in the shape of a plastic softball ball that had a LED that spanned the equator of the ball and lit up when something happened, sort of like the LED on GoogleBooks.

>>Yeah, that sounds about right.

Well, let's look at the cost by the general price of it's compnoents.

256gb of ddr5 will run yo anywhere fron 7-10k, depending on the manufacturer.

A 4tb nvme will run you 600 dollars.

Comping the video card is hard as you would require a 100k nvida dgx station to be able to have 256gb of video ram on the GPU bucause of apples unified memory architecture, but for the sake of comping we will use 2 spark cards at 5k a pop for a 10k total there.

And for th cpu the closes comp is a AMD thread ripper which comes in at 5k.

So, that Apple M5 Ultra is a bargain.

Throw in the fact you are getting a Unix/Linux OS and a pretty compact computer and there is nothing that is a price competitive as any mac right now laptop, desktop or mini.

52 A semi-nightmare just before I woke up: I was working again as a package delivery driver. First day back, and it was raining lightly, so traffic was choked. I had forgotten a rain jacket and cap, too. My first stop was a new apartment and shopping development in a western suburb, a place that hadn't existed when I had that route in the mid-'80s. Each building had its own address on the avenue, then apartment numbers within that building . . . and all the buildings were numbers like 1700 or 1800, whereas my packages were for 2300 and 2600. I couldn't find a map of the development or an office, and nobody I spoke to had any idea where the 2000s began. And these were only my first stops for the day.

On the other hand, it looked like the ideal of a "walkable" community: apartments, coffee shops and bakeries, grocery stores, other service businesses. And not everybody there was retirement age, either. Sort of like a big mall with living spaces attached.

One data point that confirms this. The 15-in M5 MacBook Air (16 GB, 1 TB) is $2200. The 15-in X2 Elite Surface Laptop (16 GB, 1 TB) is $2400.

71 "Setting aside the dollar factor, the main reason I have liked apple over the long term is that the essential look, feel and operation has not changed much over the last 40 years."

The UI has changed a lot since 1986. (So has everyone else's, so maybe that's why you didn't notice it.)

I'd been using a MacBook (provided by work) since 2015. (Past tense since they laid me off last Friday; shipped the laptop to them yesterday.) It was OK; I can use them, but I would never buy one and run their OS.

Part of my irritation would be due to corporate overlays; still, there were some fairly nice built-in things. The interactive application search was nice.

Still, the mac's ability to handle multi-display windows sucked absolute ass.

I'm typing this on a Slackware 15.0 computer. (Think of a bleeding edge linux distribution; find a linux distribution as far away from that as possible; behold! Slackware.) It's running an ancient version of the K desktop Environment (KDE Plasma 5, version 5.23.5) which is perfectly able to show a window split across 2 screens. By default, I'll add.

The MacBook, however, would only display such a window on one of the two monitors.

79 AI safety fears have surged since Sam Altman’s OpenAI revealed last month that a swarm of its AI agents had broken out of their testing “sandbox” and hacked Hugging Face without permission. That’s as some critics have accused OpenAI, Anthropic and other firms of publicizing safety incidents in a bid to shape regulations to suit their preferences.

“The Hugging Face incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents,” Bessent said during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday.

He said he agreed with Daniel Huttenlocher, the co-chair of MIT’s computing research lab, on the notion that “it is humans who are responsible, not the AI.”

80 Apple's new M5 Ultra Mac Studio outperforms even a 64 core AMD Threadripper until you run anything other than Geekbench 7 whereupon it immediately doesn't.

.. there is an old story in the benchmarking community where a certain vendor's compiler looked for a certain benchmark and put out a hand-coded executable. The only problem was that the hand-coded code was written wrong, and the benchmark failed.

Monday Night ONT - September 21, 2026 [TRex]

20260907-SirGoonyGolfChattanoogaTN1986.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for Monday shenanigans. The bar is open and the refrigerator has been freshly re-stocked with A&W Rootbeer.

Welcome to the Monday night ONT which means vintage overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Pants are optional. This ONT is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Fauci is fair game.

[Top photo: Sir Goony Golf, Chattanooga, Tennessee. 1986]

The Monday ONT has dialed up the wayback machine tonight with very random results.

7-Up building in Portland - 1976.

It was located at NE 37th Avenue and Sandy Boulevard in Portland's Hollywood District. The building remains, but is no longer a 7-Up building. Likewise for the Dunes Motel.

20260907-7upPortlandOR1976.jpg

Ross Diner in Quechee, Vermont in 1995.

The diner is a classic Worcester Lunch Car from 1946. The car originally operated as the Ross Diner in Holyoke, Massachusetts. After it closed in 1990 it was moved briefly to New Hampshire, then to Quechee Gorge Village. The car has been a Foley Brothers Beer Garden in recent years, but the interweb implies that this location may be recently closed?

20260907-RossDinerQuecheeVT1995.jpg

Army-Navy Football game in 1916 at the New York Polo Grounds. Army won 15-7.

20260907-armynavyfootballNYPoloGrounds1916.jpg

Duesenberg Automobile Company Factory at 1501 West Washington Street, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. 1984 photo. The building stopped operating as a Deusenberg factory in 1937.

20260907-DeusenbergAutomobileFactoryMarionINc1933.jpg

Laurel Engine No. 1, a horse-drawn steam fire engine of the York, Pennsylvania, fire department, posed in front of the Laurel Fire Company station in 1911. The Laurel station (now part of the still-operating Laurel-Rex Fire Company House on S. Duke Street) is one of the oldest continuously used firehouses in the United States.

20260907-FireEngineYorkPAc1933.jpg

New York entrance plaza of the Holland Tunnel in 1985.

20260907-hollandtunnelc1968.jpg

L.F. Kitts General Merchandise store in Maynardville, Union County, Tennessee in 1935 (modest crop of the original photo)

20260907-MaynardvilleTNgeneralMerch1935-2.jpg

U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey field truck being serviced, circa 1937.

The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency and mapped shorelines, prepared tidal and nautical charts, etc. It was under the Department of Commerce before being folded into the new National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1970.

20260907-repairinggovernmenttrucks1937.jpg

Logging in Tillamook County, Oregon, circa 1941

20260907-tillamookORlogging1941.jpg

US Post Office, 401 North Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada, 1940.

Construction begun 1888 and it was occupied in 1891. It housed the post office and U.S. District Court until the post office left in 1970. It later served as the Nevada State Library and now the Nevada Commission on Tourism is its main occupant.

20260907-USPostOfficeCarsonCityNVc1933.jpg

Winterview Farm Log Cabin, near Lexington, Rockbridge County, Virginia (about 0.1 mile south of I-81, 1.5 miles northeast of the U.S. 11 interchange). Circa 1971. I can't definitively confirm whether it still exists.

9 Heh. For Trunk or Treat at church one year, I made up a quickie poster board and crepe paper "costume" for the back of my Rav4, so it vaguely sorta looked like a whale, and I dressed as Jonah (my beard is perfect for playing Old Testament characters) and sat in the back to hand out candy.

Some kids knew the story, some didn't. I got to get a bunch of them started on it, though.

Cal Worthington (known to pretty much anyone who spent any time at all on the West Coast from the '40s to the '90s) parodied the "dog Storm" commercials with his "dog Spot", which was anything but a dog. Lion, orca, ostrich...

Radio Shack offered “Lifetime Warranty” vacuum tubes, under the Realistic brand. Radio enthusiasts loved finding these, for certain hard to find and/or expensive tubes. 1L6 was a pentagrid converter used in battery powered shortwave sets and I would read tales on the collector forums in the late 1990s of people dropping by Rat Shack to take them up on their offer.

Let me tell you what has happened - I asked CBD to pause it yesterday. Here's what happened today:

I was supposed to raise $6700 to be eligible for $25K in CT state election funding. I raised $8115.

I was supposed to get 150 in-district contributors (Easton, Weston, and Redding CT). I got 184.

There were 210 total contributors - several of whom were honest-to-goodness Morons.

When I went to Hartford earlier today to submit my paperwork, the election offical was shocked to find out that I only had this campaign live for about 9 days. I cannot thank the Horde and my other supporters for contributing. My area of CT is quite blue, but someone has to run. I'm tired of talking about how bad things are and watching things get worse in these Blue States. That said, running is very, very scary. Now I know that I'm not doing this for just me. I can't let everyone down now. Thanks!

It's kind of cool how she's paying for it. Sure, she gets some cash from YouTube, but a lot of it comes for finding historical and antique items in the building, and then selling them to collectors. Some very interesting stuff....

The autumnal equinox occurs tomorrow at 8:05PM EDT, or 00:05 Zulu. Less than a day of astronomical summer left. The full Moon closest to the fall equinox is dubbed the Harvest Moon, the one that shines on, shines on, and that will be Sept. 26. Look up the Harvest Moon effect, which has to do with the angle of the dangle of the ecliptic at sunset on the equinox.

It happens in fall in the southern hemisphere as well, but that's in March. It flips symmetrically across hemispheres.

And Saturn is nearing opposition as well, which will occur on Oct. 4.

Like I said, exit 132 on the parkway, go a less than a mile down RT 27 towards Metuchen and you can see the tower lit from the highway.

I think that what my fundraising efforts have shown me is that there are a lot of people who passionately dislike current state representation. I'll also say that if every registered Republican voted in this election, I'd win. The problem is that we're so beaten down that over time we simply can't believe things will get better. Considering that I saw the Berlin Wall come down as I watched on my TV at the time, I thought that communism would never come back. If bad ideas never die, what about good ideas? That's why there's a chance.

Now, it's possible that I don't win this cycle. I'm already committing to run in the next one in 2028 no matter what, so my name recognition could get me over the line next time - especially if the Dems go all DSA on us, which they very well might. I could still win now.

I was on a business trip when I was under 25 and I needed to rent a car. Only one company at the airport would rent to me. Don't remember which, but it was only one company...and charged me twice the rate. Didn't matter to me as the company reimbursed me for it eventually.

One thing of minor interest happened. While out on a Sunday drive I saw a road-killed bear in the ditch. It was on a two-lane highway running through a game-filled forest, so it wasn't wildly improbable for it to be there, however it was the first incident of this I had ever seen.

CT is an interesting state in that regard. Now that I have this small grubstake, the State Election Commission will add another $25K to it in early October, assuming that my contributions are Kosher. In a short sprint of a race between my debate on 10/6, early elections starting 10/19, and 11/3, that money goes pretty far with signs, mailers, and digital. For the gubernatorial contest, by contrast, state funding will give $13 million. Ned Lamont is a centi-millionaire, so he'll self-fund, but Ryan Lazio needs all the money he can get.

Re this ecliptic angle thing. This is the angle the ecliptic makes with your local horizon. I tend to get this mixed up and backwards no matter what, but I hope I've got it right.

At the equinox the sun is crossing the celestial equator, heading south at the fall equinox. At sunrise on the fall equinox, the ecliptic makes its steepest angle with the horizon. At sunset, after the Erf has rotated 180 degrees underneath, the ecliptic makes it shallowest angle. During the spring equinox, it's just the opposite. Shallowest at sunrise, steepest at sunset. And this flips between the hemispheres to match which season is which because the local tangent planes are upside down.

What does that mean for the full moon? Moonrise occurs right around sunset, so the difference in rise times for the Moon over a few days is the lowest it will be for the year. The difference between moonset times will the greatest and this effect increases with latitude.

And vice-versa at the spring equinox full moon. Set times will be closer together, and rise times the farthest apart.

So, the Harvest Moon effect is just that. Moonrises are very close together right after sunset over a few days.

A lot of traditional Spanish dishes apparently are based around bread as an ingredient. Either raspings fried in fat prior to adding the vegetables for stewing, or sopped in water or wine as a thickener for whatever soup or stew.
The Romans did have a type of smaller flatbread that would be used as the base of whatever was being eaten. Apparently in one famous book, the narrator mentioned that when they were travelling in the countryside and paused to eat on the road, they used the flatbread to serve the food among themselves, and ate the food, and then tore into the bread, and waggishly mentioned they were so famished they "ate the plates and table as well"

238 Let me tell you what has happened - I asked CBD to pause it yesterday. Here's what happened today:

I was supposed to raise $6700 to be eligible for $25K in CT state election funding. I raised $8115.

I was supposed to get 150 in-district contributors (Easton, Weston, and Redding CT). I got 184.

There were 210 total contributors - several of whom were honest-to-goodness Morons.

When I went to Hartford earlier today to submit my paperwork, the election offical was shocked to find out that I only had this campaign live for about 9 days. I cannot thank the Horde and my other supporters for contributing. My area of CT is quite blue, but someone has to run. I'm tired of talking about how bad things are and watching things get worse in these Blue States. That said, running is very, very scary. Now I know that I'm not doing this for just me. I can't let everyone down now. Thanks!

I know so much about turtles, that you would die of boredom once I got started. I had 10 different Box Turtles over a 20 year period and once kept a 45 lb. snapping turtle for about a month.
The Painted Turtles, Spotted Turtles, Sliders, Wood Turtles and Musk Turtles I also kept here at various times. All released to the wild, not eaten.

DDT has been banned from "general use" in the U.S. since 1972.

It is still permissible for emergency authorization, but I don't know if that has even been triggered since '72.

Of course, under Democrat rules, the laws only apply to the little people.

When I was a kid mumble mumble years ago, Anchorage was mostly swamp, and the mosquitos were epic. Literally a curtain when you went outside. So thick you ate plenty of them. Just awful. However, I never got mosquitos bites per se, they would bite but I didn't react. My sister got welts the size of tomatoes.

They sent trucks around spraying everything with DDT. Worked pretty well, but not completely. Made life bearable.

By the mid 1970's many of the swamps had been drained for development, so fewer mosquitos and I guess we didn't miss the DDT so much.

I don't live in Los Anchorage any more, and the mosquitos out here are... epic. Need a visit from the DDT truck twice a summer or so. But, not available.

Speaking of Saturn, it's little moon Hyperion would be the quite geodetic/geospatial nightmare. It's a tri-axial potato shaped mess that rotates chaotically. Well, "tumble" is a better word that rotate. It's so chaotic that the characteristic time is only about 100 days. Unpredictable past 100 days out from any point in time.

So, calculating sunrise and sunset times and so forth would be impossible for any length of time. And talk about polar wander. The axis of rotation moves all around the surface in chaotic fashion. There is no "pole" to define geodetically. It would have to be mapped in a body frame coordinate system only, with that orientation relative to chaotically jumping around.

So, at any point on the surface, the sun might rise over there, then jump back down, then pop back up in another spot over a short time span. Then zig-zag around for a little bit, then shoot over and plunge below the horizon in some other random direction.

I try not to eat at fast-food places that often, so I don't have the menus memorized.

But that seems to be how things are set up, now. I guess nothing ever changes, so if you've been ordering the #6 combo since 2012, you don't need to know that it's the Royale With Cheese combo.

Landing on Hyperion would be the true test of real pilot. Quite the difficulty level. You wouldn't know where the surface would be relative to you until you got there, and then getting synced with the movement of a spot on the surface would quite difficult.

Not that you'd want to. The surface is sort of like a brittle sponge or honeycomb. And highly charged. Little sparks, little lightning bolts would hit you when you got close enough.

The Cassini probe got hit by such a discharge when it made a close approach. It didn't damage anything, luckily.

I had a rule with the young Boy Scouts that they had to ask a leader before picking up an animal.

I would tell them it is OK to pick up that toad, but don't cup him in your hand because he will pee.

That sounds like useful information.

I think they deserve some object lessons.

I am thinking a caltrop hidden inside the fake turtle would only ruin the day of assholes, but not nice people.

347 The Elmer’s glue is a necessity, though,
If you are trying to photograph a bowl of cereal you can’t use milk, all the cereal will be a bowl of mush if it sits there for more than half an hour.

Nobody from General Mills wants to try to sell a soggy bowl of Frosted Flakes.

So you pour out a a good bit of Elmer’s glue, and then add the cereal pieces on top where you want them to make it look natural. Then you squirt out some more Elmer’s on top to make it look like milk is covering some of it.

Voila, looks like a shiny, perfect, bowl of flakes, no sogginess detected, and it’ll stay that way for the four or five hours it takes to get all of the shots you need.

350 Was surprised to read that during the conquest of Corregidor by US troops in 1945, the airborne officer who was senior on the island called in a "strike" of DDT, dropped by transport planes, to extinguish the holocaust of flies and mosquitoes that developed during the battle. Interesting. Pacific battlefields were unimaginably foul due to the temperature and humidity and insects.

First GIs to hit the island were paratroopers, who landed on "Topside", the by-then ravaged and bombed top of the rocky mountain that was honeycombed with tunnels and bunkers. Amphibious troop landings followed shortly thereafter.

How in hell that happens, I have no idea. I see moose along the highway, but it never occurs to me to hit them. You can easily die that way. It's not like hitting deer, where your car gets dented, but more like big ass hooves coming through your windshield and smashing your skull. So, how is it when there is light all of the damned time, do you hit a moose with your car?

Yes, it's young males who swerve to hit animals, and fuck them.

JQ, about squirrels: it's the only animal I've ever hit, and I tried not to -- but the bugger insisted! omg I felt my car bump a little over it. I actually pulled over (this was a country road) and ... TRIED TO BACK OVER IT to end its misery. I don't aim that well driving backwards, so after a few fruitless tries, I went on to my destination.

On my return, the darn thing was still in the road, slightly different location. I didn't know whether it had been flung by another car or was still alive and crawling miserably to the other side. I tried to run over it again, to end its misery!!! Missed!!!!! It's really hard to get your tire over a specific static thing.

Anyway, I hope I never hit an animal again, small or large. That squirrel has gone on to its reward, but I'm still haunted.

378 A friend of mine, and me in the passenger seat, was driving down a country road in his El Camino when a fox ran off the side of the road and we hit it. We didn't know what he hit it happened so fast.

Fifty or so feet down the road, I told him to back up and we'd take a look at it to see what it was and if it was alive.

So he backs up slowly and as we get to the fox laying on the side of the road he stops and I open the door on my side and look down at this fox laying there looking dead as dead can get.

About 30 seconds later, the damn thing jumped up and ran for it. Scared the crap entirely out of me.

Best we could come up with is that the fox timed it just right and knocked himself out hitting his head on the wheel/hubcap.

It was buggy out. Summertime. Plenty of flying things, illuminated by my headlights... and poor kitty was just wanting to catch one. Ugh. My heart sank. But it was quick and I hope painless. Poor baby.

400 Dipping sauce:

***put all into a jar, then shake well***

1/4 cup Yoshida's Original Gourmet Cooking Sauce (sweet teriyaki)
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger (I like the jar of Christopher Ranch brand--beats grating by hand!)
1 teaspoon crushed garlic (again, C.Ranch, out of the jar)
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce (regular, nothing fancy)
1/2 of a green onion, minced finely (OR: 1/8 teaspoon onion powder)

Optional: a few drops of chili oil, if you want some *kick*

She didn't just swim away: she came back with gifts.

After rescuers freed her calf from a fishing net, a mother dolphin began regularly leaving fresh fish on a dock as a touching "thank you" gesture.

In July 2025, a dolphin calf became entangled in fishing gear near a marina. A man named Tom and other local boat owners successfully freed the calf and reunited it with its distressed mother. Days later, people at a nearby dock started discovering neatly placed fresh fish each morning.

Initially suspecting a prank, they checked surveillance footage and were stunned to see a dolphin surfacing at night, gently placing fish on the wooden dock before swimming off. The behavior was soon linked to the recent rescue, leading many to believe the mother dolphin was deliberately thanking the man who helped save her baby.

She repeated the act multiple times. While marine biologists are cautious about attributing human emotions like gratitude to animals, they note that dolphins possess high intelligence and complex social awareness. Real or symbolic, the story has captured hearts worldwide as a beautiful example of the special bond between humans and dolphins.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox have agreed to collude and NOT cover Trump's UN speech due to his exclusion of CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the WH press pool.

I think that is awesome!

Trump should now play hardball and announce since they are in collusion not to provide news coverage to the American public, he will give their WH pool spots to news outlets that will actually report the news.

Losing Fox, while also losing the other four networks would be a huge net win for Trump. I say eject them all and let them whine, when they made an actual "for cause" decision.

18 "Proving Galileo right, on the Moon."

From the link:

"During the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, astronaut David Scott dropped a hammer and a feather on the Moon at the same time, and both objects hit the lunar surface simultaneously.

And proved Galileo correct."

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Galileo was not correct. The two objects to not hit the surface simultaneously. The more massive one (the hammer) hits the ground first, but the time-difference is so miniscule that it is far beyond our capability to measure it.

How can this be?

Here's how:

Yes, the feather and the hammer fall "down" at the same rate. BUT, the hammer has more mass, so to a vry very very very tiny degree, its mass is simultaneously pulling the Earth "up" toward the hammer. So, taking into account the upward movement of the earth toward the hammer, the hammer actually has less distance to "fall" before encountering the Earth, so takes less time to do so. The feather also pulls the Earth "up," but with less mass, so the effect is less, so it takes longer for the two bodies to meet.

This isn't even relativity -- this is true even under Keplerian/Newtonian/Galilean physics. But it's rarely mentioned.

36 21 The hammer is pulling the Earth closer to the feather too.
Posted by: fd


Good point. BUT...:

If the experiments are conducted sequentially (as opposed to dropping at the same time), then the hammer falls faster than the feather.

But even if they are dropped simultaneous,ly the hammer will STILL hit the ground first, because the spherical larger body (Earth, moon, whatever) will tilt ever so slightly toward the hammer and away from the feather. The time-difference between a simultaneously dropped hammer and feather will still exist, but be ultra-hyper-mega-logorithmically-exponentially more tiny than even the immeausurably tiny difference in the sequential version of the experiment.

Yet, the latter outperforms New York City students in testing.

That is a million dollar a classroom vs. $200k.

55 >> Galileo was not correct. The two objects to not hit the surface simultaneously.

When I first saw that David Scott clip, I wondered if someone would bring this up, and here we go.

To resolve this, remember the acceleration field, which is g, gravity, must be relative to an inertial frame. In this case, the center of mass of the Moon and hammer, or Moon and feather frame will do. The acceleration field of the Moon remains constant. The hammer and feather accelerate toward the Moon at the same value relative to the center of mass frame.

The Moon itself just gains a tiny, immeasurable acceleration itself in that frame due to the mass of the hammer or feather.

The state of "accelerates at the same rate", which is the basic of the Equivalence Principle holds. It just doesn't take into account that relative acceleration.

Maybe some linkage here...

During the capture of Avaricum and Gergovia (leading up to Alesia), the Gaulic women bared their breasts while begging the Romans not to slaughter them when the towns fell. At Alesia, that isn't mentioned...just that the non-combatants were kicked out of the city, begged to be taken prisoner by the Romans, the Romans refused, and they all starved in the no-man's land between the two sides. I bet a few breasts were bared, though.

Re Apollo 15. That was the first Moon landing mission where NASA stopped the quarantine for returning astronauts. Previously, in what was an over-abundance of caution, they imposed a 21 day quarantine. You've probably seen pictures and footage of Nixon speaking to the Apollo 11 astronauts inside that modified airstream quarantine trailer.

After Apollo 14, the conclusively proved to their satisfaction there were no moon bugs, and the Moon was sterile. Everybody knew that was the case before, but it couldn't be conclusively provided without actual samples.

And that was the mission where Jim Irwin came close to a heart attack during ascent.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 21, 2026 08:30 PM (w6EFb)

124
And that reminds me, with Apollo 11, Nixon wanted to eat breakfast with the crew before they launched. They had a strict pre-launch quarantine, and that would've have broken it.

It would be bad if they got sick (as shown with Apollo 7) during the mission, so they isolate them a while beforehand.

It fell to Dr. Charles Berry (a legend of the Apollo glory days) to tell Nixon he couldn't do it, and why. He said Nixon wasn't happy, and he was afraid he was gonna get fired. The NASA brass picked him as the fall guy, being the chief flight surgeon and all that.

Another thing the NASA doctors worried about. There was a chance the crew could catch something, get sick on the way back or after return. And that would most likely be due to a regular ol' earth bug.

But, if it happened, there would be freak out they caught some alien virus/bug on the Moon. So for Apollo 11, they were even more cautious about the pre-launch quarantine and isolation.

Quick Hits

Race paranoids decided that a Korean sneaker ad must be a subliminal ad for KKK lynchings.

Here's an image from the ad:

converseshoead.jpg

SJWs have a bizarre notion of "evidence." They believe that if they can see something or "feel" something through vibes, that's positive proof that it is real and you intended to send that message, and also, you now owe them money or some other concession they can extract from you for "triggering" them.


Converse apologized and pulled a shoe ad last week that some claimed featured Ku Klux Klan imagery.

The ad, which has been removed from the Nike subsidiary's social media pages, featured K-pop singer Karina of the girl group aespa promoting the Chuck 70 X and Run Star Crush sneakers. In the ad, Karina held a pair of black high-top shoes under a star-shaped spotlight while wearing a long white skirt.

Several social media users asserted that Karina resembled a KKK member, with the shoes resembling a lynching victim. Critics included Rep. Troy Carter, D-La., who released a statement on the ad on Friday.

"Nike and Converse, what the hell were you thinking?" Carter said. "Your campaign shows what looks like a hooded Klansman, framed by what appears to be the dangling feet of a lynching victim. There is nothing creative or artistic about it. It is racist, reckless and deeply offensive."

Fuck you, Sally Sillycunt.

After facing backlash, Converse eventually pulled the ad and released a statement apologizing for the campaign.

"We're sorry. We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong. We removed it from our channels and are working to remove it everywhere it appeared. This should not have happened, and we will do better," the statement sent to Fox News Digital read.

Converse is a subsidiary of woke propaganda company (which also sometimes makes overpriced sneakers) Nike so I can't say I'm upset that they're being destroyed by the SJW customer base they cultivated.

This latest ad backlash comes as Nike is set to be removed from the S&P 100 after nearly 18 years, following its value dropping by more than $200 billion since 2021.

House Republicans say they have further questions for the Democrats' illegal foreign buckraking operation Act Blue.


House GOP investigators are warning that they are not done with ActBlue after a bombshell report fueled questions over whether the Democrat fundraising giant is accepting foreign cash and lying to Congress about it.

"Whether it's allowing fraudsters to steal taxpayer dollars or accepting illegal foreign donations through ActBlue, Democrats have proven themselves to be the party of fraud. Our investigation into ActBlue is far from over. We expect more documents and testimony in the weeks ahead," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital.

...

Republican lawmakers have long accused the company of having lax verification standards for donors, something ActBlue has said it actively improved since the start of the GOP's probe. But new findings, first reported by Fox News Digital, appear to show employees green-lighting donations despite some questions about where they came from.

...

Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital on Friday, "ActBlue's own admissions raise serious questions about its fraud prevention practices, including a so-called passport verification process that did not actually verify or check entries against any government database. All options are on the table to ensure we get to the bottom of what is going on at ActBlue."

...

The Judiciary Committee revealed through a series of transcripts on Thursday that all 10 ActBlue employees and board members who appeared for closed-door depositions invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions.

...

The GOP report cited a letter by Wallace-Jones to Steil, which maintained that donations on the platform made by people with addresses outside the U.S. required a passport number for verification.

But the Republicans' report alleged that the verification "only ensures that the entered passport number contains a certain number of characters, not that it is a valid U.S. passport number," rendering it an essentially meaningless step.

College swimmer speaks out against the "moderate centrist" Abigail Spanberger for allowing male cheaters to compete in girls' sports.


Former Roanoke College swimmer Lily Mullens, who helped lead a public stand against a transgender athlete joining her women's team, is speaking out after Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's administration withdrew a proposed regulation intended to protect female-only sports and private spaces.

Mullens was one of three female swimmers who formally petitioned the Virginia State Board of Health to enact the regulation, along with Hungarian Olympian Réka György and former Roanoke teammate Carter Satterfield.

"Up until recently, due to Governor Youngkin's leadership, which was founded in truth, Virginia was making tremendous strides toward finally doing the right thing and protecting females by keeping men out of women's sports and spaces for good. However, under the new 'leadership' of Governor Spanberger, that progress has come to a screeching halt," Mullens told OutKick.

"By failing to be open with the public about her decision months ago, she is signaling to the people of Virginia that she does not care about the female athletes in this state and she is aware that she is going against what the people want. As a woman herself, I had hoped that she would understand the importance of this issue and the petition I signed a year ago, but I have been proven wrong.

Huh, a left-wing Democrat refused to be honest with the public about her extremist position on an issue. Well, now I've seen everything!

...

"The truth is, and always will be, that men and women are biologically different. Virginia had a leader who understood this fact and did everything he could to protect women. I am saddened and disappointed to see such hard work thrown away, especially by a woman."

...

György competed against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. The Virginia Tech swimmer finished 17th in the preliminary round of the 500-yard freestyle, one place outside the 16-swimmer finals field. Thomas advanced and went on to win the national championship.

A Finnish study has found that "gender transitions" do not, as claimed, improve the mental health of those receiving it.

In fact, psychiatric illness skyrockets 600% after "transitioning."


Kurt Mahlburg
@k_mahlburg


A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.

The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.

A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.

Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out -- this is the complete national picture.

The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.

Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.

"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.

Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.

The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.

The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.

How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

A lawless lower court federal judge ruled that Oregon could not house trans "women" in men's prisons. Apparently there's a rule requiring individualized evaluations to determine if the "women" would be "harmed" by treating them as the sex they actually are.

The lawless rogue liberal judge said the prisons were not really evaluating the trans "women's" situations fairly. I assume he said this because some trans "women" were going to men's prisons, which he found intolerable.

Three Trump appointees told this Mary to get f***ed.

A Ninth Circuit appeals panel has reversed the lowly lower court judge.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel said a lower court had incorrectly ruled regarding how Oregon housed its transgender women inmates. All three judges on the panel were appointed by President Donald Trump, and they voted unanimously to strike down the order.

Some criticized the language in the panel's opinion as being harmful to transgender people.

Oh for the love of Pete.

Wednesday's ruling reverses a decision made in April, when U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke ordered Oregon to house transgender women inmates in prisons that align with their gender identity, and only after completing a safety assessment.

Appeals Court Judge Eric Tung authored the panel's opinion, saying Clarke had erred when he said the state had presumptively placed transgender women in men's prisons.

"That premise lacks record support and is clearly erroneous," Tung wrote. "The district court improperly disregarded the overwhelming contrary evidence presented by Defendants in favor of baseless speculation."

...

But the appeals court said that the plaintiffs had failed to prove that Oregon had acted with deliberate indifference to transgender inmates. Tung wrote that Clarke had relied on outdated evidence and failed to consider counter arguments presented by the state.

"Nor have Plaintiffs shown that Defendants acted in a uniform way with deliberate indifference toward each of the class members," Tung wrote. "At most, the record reflects that different officials acted in different ways toward different prisoners at different times."


A fuller article is here.

Despite some occasional claims that "nothing is being done," Trump has really done something on immigration.

The CPS [Current Population Survey] shows an unprecedented decline of 2.9 million in the total foreign-born population from January 2025 to July 2026.

As for the illegal alien population, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I estimate from CPS data that it has fallen by 2.3 million since January 2025--from 15.8 million at the start of the Trump Administration to 13.5 million through July 2026. By contrast, it had grown by an unprecedented 5.6 million during Biden's time in office. These estimates include adjustments for those the CPS missed.

One thing we have learned from the Clancey circus is that women's hormones are often out of wack and as a result its OK to commit heinous crimes — totally understandable.

So when trannies take huge doses of women's hormones taking their XY bodies out of wack, it should follow that committing heinous crimes is an expected output — totally understandable.

130 That Finnish study was from a couple of months ago.

It is devastating, final, and catastrohic. It is the end of the trans movement. When it came out, I said aloud, "FINALLY this trans shit is over. Utterly and totally debunked." Because the entirely of the purported "need" for "gender reassignment surgery" is the completely false claim that it is the only thing that can alleviate a gender-cionfused-individual's metal illness.

The new study proved -- absolutely undeniably PROVED with no possible rebuttal -- that the surgery makes you 6x crazier.

Unlike other studies with a lot of droouts that made the result meaningless, the Finnish study followed EVERY SINGLE TRANNY in the entire country for over a decade. And it turns out: "Transitioning" only ever made them feel worse. And crazier. And the ones who decided NOT to transition almost all got better, and most quickly dropped the "I am a chick" fantasy.

But guess what? I was wrong. Th FInnish study was release, and...silence. The media refused to cover it. Went over like a lead balloon. And the American trannies just continued on the insane warpath, as if nothing had changed.

Boy, am I naive.

White People: This isn't the America I know!
Black People: (meme of tired, incredulous woman)

imma be honest with you, majority of white people dont have a black friend, associate, or even a black person they usually speak to. So they really dont know about anything outside of their bubble.

I also work in marketing and have noticed the trend of racist ads from big companies it's always intentional

What sells, generates publicity? "Accidental Racism". Next thing you know sales climb, then plateau back to normal. Rinse and repeat. It's been Target's business marketing model for years.

It's because they got rid of DEI. These white people have been playing in our face for years. This new wave wanted to be as openly racist as their ancestors and where pissed when the tide changed. They love this maga shit because it allows them to be as hateful as they wish

156 More about the last thread topic, but this one has immigration too.

Last week was talking a veteran Border Patrol officer at the range (he's also a handgun competitor), and the topic of fake asylum was central. He said he'd seen a few cases that looked possibly legit at first glance during the erasure of the border and immigration law under the vegetable. A few, a tiny %.

Of course even those are problematic (all but the Mexican nationals), as they're "fleeing" a safe situation in Mexico where the alleged threat in the home country could not exist.

Mentioned this before. A friend's spouse is very senior in a huge national law firm. Told me 2 years ago that the firm (of course) was interested in doing pro bono asylum work. They had their TX office hire someone to screen a large sample of cases (thousands) before deciding. A very small % (5%) had some apparent legitimate basis (again, at first glance). Firm decided to not do the pro bono work.

206 ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox have agreed to collude and NOT cover Trump's UN speech due to his exclusion of CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the WH press pool.

I think that is awesome!

Trump should now play hardball and announce since they are in collusion not to provide news coverage to the American public, he will give their WH pool spots to news outlets that will actually report the news.

Losing Fox, while also losing the other four networks would be a huge net win for Trump. I say eject them all and let them whine, when they made an actual "for cause" decision.

Whistleblower: 99% of Asylum Claims Are Fake

You don't say. You don't say.

David Strom:

Claims are floating around that 85 percent of the world's refugees are Muslim, and the UNHCR's response isn't "No, they're not," but rather, "A spokesperson for the UN's refugee agency UNHCR said the number of Muslim refugees is likely to be less than 85% of all refugees worldwide." Which is another way of saying "you're in the right ballpark." And those refugees aren't fleeing to Muslim countries.

In other words, it's an invasion, either for economic or political reasons, and according to a whistleblower at the Home Office in the UK, almost every "asylum seeker" is a fraud.

From The Times (UK):

Only one in 100 asylum claims are genuine, according to a whistleblower who has revealed widespread fraud and dysfunction in the system.

The Home Office official, who has worked for years as a decision-maker on asylum and has assessed thousands of claims, said asylum seekers from certain countries use the "same script" in what he and colleagues describe as "package claims".

He said he had encountered a large number of Iraqi Kurds claiming asylum who said they had been in a relationship with the daughter of the prime minister of the Kurdistan region. The official said it had become a "running joke" among colleagues that the number of Iraqi Kurds who said they were involved with the daughter was in the "hundreds".

He also said that "hundreds" of claims from Pakistanis were based on the assertion that they were in fear of their lives in their home country because of their gay relationship with the same man who had provided letters supporting their claims.

The source also disclosed suspicions about large numbers of Bangladeshi claimants purporting to be dissidents of the former governing party, which is now banned, even though they were unable to provide basic information about the group.

Strom believes this state of affairs might have something to do with AfD's rise and the CDU's collapse. Could be. Could be.

But you know who else opposed rampant immigration fraud?

Since we are pretending to have full access to God's DayTimer calender...

Isn't it interesting that while the world is suffering refinery destruction, the world is increasingly relying on oil that comes out of the Gulf of America and Caribbean?

US refineries are running at 98% capacity (which is unsustainable) and yet they can't keep up with demand.

Also note that God hasn't sent hurricanes into the oil producing regions this year, stopping processes that would likely result in $10+/gal diesel.

Look at China's weather this year. They actually had a typhoon hit the same area three times. Yes, it made landfall, circled around back to the sea as a tropical storm, turned back into a typhoon, and smacked China again, veering away from Taiwan in the process.

You name it, they have it: frosts that froze birds off of the trees, rains of frogs, and such flooding.

He went into the details of how there is constant danger for right leaning speakers on campuses, it isn't just the left assassinated Kirk he personally had been attacked a number of times.

Anyway the bent kept nodding her head and then just, "But wait let's talk about Trump!"

Probably fair. Although Andie McDowell and James Coburn seem fairly straight so far. Its zany, but it also has way too much foul language, and blood to be a kids movie.

115 The 1% is based on an assumption of the anonymous source, but it didn't stop The Times from running it as fact. The basis is many people from Pakistan are being given asylum based on being gay. It's extremely difficult identify fraudsters based on something that's a belief, with no proof given to The Times whatsoever.

They've been one of the main papers pushing transphobia (along with The Guardian). They really lost it about 10 years ago when their centrist slant kept moving further and further right.

given the success rate in applying for asylum and the success rate at appealing negative decisions, insisting that 99% are frauds certainly qualifies as an "extraordinary claim". Our news sources chose not to require any evidence to support it.

Japan rejects 99.7% of asylum applications so the 1/100 here isn't that far fetched to believe.

I don't think you can use the prevalence of being gay as a way to determine that you should only expect small numbers of gay asylum seekers. The 1% assumes that a fully representative cross section of Pakistanis are coming to the UK instead of the UK being a place that is known to be safe for gay Pakistanis

The Muslims raping women in Finland believe the Koran gives them license to rape as many infidels as they want.

The "no-no square" dance will change the viewpoint of the rapists not in the slightest.

The government employees that made that video have zero comprehension of the rape problem they are trying to address.

However, I don't think they are actually that stupid. Instead, their world view requires that they do NOT address reality, because the actual facts cannot exist within their BS construction of a world view. (That is a different kind of stupid.)

My father's golf club had a huge Canadian Goose problem. They deposited pounds of crap thickly across the fairways, and sometimes even on the greens.

Management brought in two breeding pairs of swans, and set up each pair on their own course pond.

Hundreds of geese were terrified of two swans, and stayed far, far away.

If I am ever facing an existential threat of combat against a million geese, I am taking a few Morons, a few 'ettes, and a couple of swans. With that tiny army, I still like my chances.

152 The longest penis of any animals relative to their body is that of the barnacles. The body of these sessile crustaceans often measures just a few centimetres long, but their penis can be as much as 40 times as long as this, enabling them to mate with other barnacles positioned some distance away.

158 Of course they are. They blatantly violate asylum law. It's the entire reason Remain in Mexico was so effective a policy - because Mexico was a Safe country for the purposes of asylum, so ANYBODY crossing through Mexico to apply for asylum was automatically fraud.

Democrats know. Their entire strategy has been overwhelm the asylum system so that they get released waiting for a hearing 5 years in the future, then whine THEY'VE BUILT A LIFE HERE to avoid deportation.

You can't fix it. The only way is simply eliminate asylum completely.

161 I see here we're talking about refugee percentages that are Muslims (which is extremely high)...BUT, what this doesn't take into account is actual refugees who flee Muslim countries BECAUSE of Muslims. Christians from Syria would be a good example (or anyone with a religion other than Islam who came from a Muslim country).

Hell, there are Christians who still work as slaves (bonded labor) in Pakistan even though the Constitution of Pakistan (yes, they do actually have one) outlaws slavery since the early 1990's. Selective law enforcement is a big deal in Muslim countries.

I'm not commenting on whether these non-Muslims deserve asylum. I'm just pointing out that Muslims are likely responsible directly and indirectly for well over 90% of asylum seekers. Some are actually legit on the non-Muslim side.

184 In every mulsim country (and muslim controlled area), right now today, any adult man can go and "buy" a young boy for "fun."

But, since they don't call it "being a pedo rapist" it's not pedo rape.

Just like their prophet wasn't a pedo rapist.

And then these pedo rapists will claim asylum in the west because islam punishes being a pedo rapist with death.

But not the actual pedo rapists who rape young boys because it's not called pedo rape if you buy a young boy for "fun."

The prior verse is specific. You are relying on nonspecific context to conclude the subsequent verses are negating a specific prior verse. This is not very logical approach to interpretation. It may be your belief, but it is not logically born out on the face of the text. Not that it has to be - but as a matter of interpretation that's not a great argument. Its like - here I'm going to purposely confuse you by saying one thing and then negating it by implying something else. Naw bro. You need to redo that.

196 Unbelievers won't know when the end comes, but the Bible is being opened to those who are blessed by God to want toknow.

According to Dispensationalists, almost all of Revelation is the Reprobate's DayTimer. Its a day-by-day description of what happens, what follows that is provided to people who hate God so much that they have been Left Behind and have no interest in the Word.

Which is really weird since Evangelicals believe that a very large chunk of the Bible was not written to the immediate audience but to people, with no interest in the Bible or of the things of God, thousands of years later.

216 The examples outlined are pretty funny, but they certainly don't add up to enough to make 99%.

Really, none of this makes any sense. If its Muslim gays fleeing Muslim countries where they behead gays, the legit percentage would be much higher, wouldn't it?

Plus, one thing not addressed is that if you're legitimately in a country where your being there puts your life in danger, that DOESN'T mean that you get to go to any country in the world that you feel like, I wouldn't think.

It seems like it would be easier to give examples of legit cases, because I can't imagine there are hardly ANY.

219 That No No Square (which by the way is a weird grooming choice) Dance was an official project by Oulu, Finland. Taxpayers paid for that, although I'm not sure what the expenses would be.

Oulu only has about 210,000 residents (so about the size of Richmond, VA or Spokane Washington)....Only about 7% are migrants. Which suggests that those 7% are pretty active in the ole' "No No Square" touching. Only just over 1% are Muslim immigrants.

We're in the Dark Ages of pop culture in America. All heroic figures are being intentionally dismantled and re-written, 1984 style.

So of course they would re-discover the old stuff. Even a child can tell that the new stuff is anti-inspiring garbage.

It's aggravating to me to see people observe this, and how it's completely ubiquitous, and still not see that it is NOT just sort of social trend - a symptom of social decay - but rather the result of decades of infiltration for the very intentional purpose of taking our society down.

You can't point to the guy (or guys) who got up on the metaphorical soap box, made their case, and convinced everybody this was the right way to go. Every new idea - and ALL of them are bad for society - suddenly came from nowhere, and you were told you had to go along, OR ELSE. Could it be more obvious that it's been an enemy PsyOp, going back to the 60's, or even before?

Of Course: The 12 Left-Wing AGs Settle with Paramount/Skydance, Allowing the Merger, But Only With "Guardrails for CNN"

So this many-million-dollar lawsuit was all about keeping CNN a hard-left propaganda outlet.

Note that four of the left-wing AGs are dropping out of the communist coalition to demand further concessions, so I can't say this deal is actually struck quite yet.

Done! Paramount Settles Antitrust Suit, Set To Seal Deal For Warner Bros. Discovery


UPDATED WITH MORE DETAILS: Paramount has settled an antitrust lawsuit brought by a dozen state attorneys general led by California's Rob Bonta, the last obstacle to closing its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Deadline has confirmed.

Specifics are still scant but will come when the deal is formally announced later this morning. There will be concessions. Deadline hears that Paramount has agreed to some CNN guardrails, financial penalties linked to CEO David Ellison's 30 movies a year commitment, and some sort of separation of the studios for a period.

They mean they want Warner Bros. to remain separated from Paramount/Skydance for a period, which I heard was two years. Usually mergers involve reducing corporate staff by combining the old staff and firing the now-redundant staffers. So this is a move to keep those jobs for a period.


Terms of the deal are said to include an investment of $1.5 billion for home-grown film production and protecting and creating jobs, along with requirements for additional domestic production if the federal government approves tax incentives. The settlement also provides for a $47.5 million workforce development fund and obligation to honor existing collective bargaining agreements.

By promising to create "domestic" or "home grown" jobs, do they mean just in California, or the United States? I assume the latter, but I'm not sure.


News of settlement talks began trickling out on Friday but four of the AGs in the group were subsequently described as holding out for more concessions from Paramount. The attorneys general of New York, Connecticut, Minnesota [Keith Ellison] and Nevada came around late Sunday, sources tell Deadline, after assurances from California's Bonta that he would hold Paramount's "feet to the fire" to ensure the company stuck to its commitments. He had said previously he preferred structural remedies like asset sales to resolve antitrust issues, rather than behavioral remedies, which require monitoring.
...

"It's jobs, job, jobs, that's what this all about," a source close to power players in Sacramento told Deadline.

Of course, with $6 billion in cost savings promised to investors, expectations remain for significant layoffs, though those details will become more clear in the coming days and weeks.

Paramount shares rose 9% on the news. WBD gained 10%, trading at about $30.50. The deal calls for Paramount to take out Warner stockholders for $31 a share.

We don't know yet what "guardrails for CNN" have been agreed to. What I would guess is that Paramount/Skydance agreed to keep current CNN management on for some period. Maybe 3-5 years or something. It obviously can't be forever.

Update: So now we know -- Paramount/Skydance agreed to appoint a board of liberals to monitor the management of both CNN and CBS.

To keep out "bias."

Boy oh boy, wouldn't want any bias creeping in to CNN or CBS!

More on the Jake Tapper Permanent Employment Treaty:

Under the agreement, Bonta announced that Paramount is legally required to distribute at least 30 movies in theaters annually and will face a financial penalty if it fails to do so.

The company also committed to spending an additional $1.5 billion on film production over the next five years, with a guaranteed increase in the proportion of movies produced within the U.S., specifically benefiting Hollywood, according to Bonta.

Wait, so is the deal to produce "home grown" jobs in the US or in the Hollywood area? That seems to claim both or either.

Additionally, Paramount agreed to establish an independent board of journalists to oversee the newsrooms of CNN and CBS News to preserve editorial integrity and prevent consolidated corporate bias, Bonta said.

Independent journalists may include Dan Rather, John Harwood, Jim Sciutto, and Don Lemon. I'm making that up but I'm sure that's who the left has in mind.

Oh, and why not add Tater to the board, too!

Now that we've set the precedent that the government can sue media companies to end bias, when does Trump's AG Kash Patel put this new power into action?


The deranged partisan freaks like Mark Ruffalo demand that the deal be scuttled.

The primary group mobilizing opposition to the Paramount--Warner Bros. Discovery merger condemned the state attorneys general settlement of their antitrust lawsuit to block the transaction.

Just minutes before California Attorney General Rob Bonta was to appear at a press conference to announce the details of the settlement, the Block the Merger Coalition put out a statement calling the proposed resolution "a bad deal for the future of film, entertainment, independent journalism, and a strong democracy in this country."

"We are disappointed and angry that the interests of average Americans have been trampled to benefit oligarch billionaires," the group said.

Who the f*** do they think own major movie studios? Do they think they're mom-and-pop shops?

No, of course not, this is all stupid communist agit-prop.


In addition to demonstrations and online campaigns, the coalition helped organize an open letter of industry professionals opposing the transaction, including JJ Abrams, Damon Lindelof, David Fincher and Denis Villeneuve.

The only person there I wouldn't want to boycott is David Fincher, but I'm sure I can live without him.

As for Denis Villeneuve -- I know everyone's supposed to say he's great but I think he's boring as hell. His idea of making something feel "important" is just to make it slow and film it in low-key, low-energy way.

I didn't like Dune or Dune 2. I might actually like the David Lynch version more, but that might be too spicy a hot-take for me to commit to.

...


Mark Ruffalo, a prominent opponent of the merger, weighed in on X earlier on Monday. "Gavin Newsom hands huge win to Trump and his billionaire cronies," he wrote, referring to the governor's involvement in reaching a settlement.

In some Hollywood: Shit or Garbage? material: the Resident Evil movie is supposedly the first good Resident Evil movie. What I've heard critics say is that it's not based on any of the actual characters from the game -- it has its own original characters -- but it is based on the scenarios of the game, including puzzle-like levels, I mean movie scenes, the main character has to figure his way through.

In other words, the world of Resident Evil is fairly well adapted, while it doesn't include any of the characters featured in the game.

Which is an interesting way of being both very faithful to the material while also ignoring much of the material.

Multiple reviews say, however, that it ends abruptly and that the climax is rushed.

It's directed by the guy who did Weapons so I'm inclined to think it's pretty good. I dunno. I'll wait for it to be on TV.

2. This is a lesson to Ruffalo that the Democrat party will always betray him, and he must leave it and back a third party challenge from the left exclusively. No Democrat is a friend. They are friendly betrayers, at best.

Bonta will never sleep again after his mess. Now we need some popcorn for a documentary based on Bonta’s life and his downfall. Would be a great paramount/warner bros movie.

He could have still been a God. It was possible for California to hold the line until the ticking fees kicked in.
But the Ellisons were too clever.

This capitulation proves that we cannot rely on the willingness of business minded politicians, red or blue, to protect our country. We must protect it ourselves.

BUT BUT BUT CONCESSIONS!!! Bro, even I thought Bonta would be able to leverage a extraction of SOME structural remedies.

He didn't even do that.

What a absolute self own and PROOF it was never about stopping the merger and only about getting his name out there.

This man will never become governor.

It was always about CNN and CBS. Bonta won

It looks nice.
It seems like the story was told better, and more thoroughly, than the Lynch version. But it just seemed dull and subdued the entire time.
Maybe that was the acting or direction, but it’s not a movie I feel like I’d want to sit through more than once as opposed to something like LOTR which is rewatchable despite the length.

I still like the 80s version of Dune more and maybe that’s just nostalgia talking.

LA has been dying as an industry town since the 90s when they started making "New York" movies in Toronto or "generic American city" movies in Vancouver.

It's just expanded ever since to studios in places like Austin or Atlanta.

It's really expensive to film in Los Angeles, and every production fights over tax incentives from the state government to bring the costs down.

Saw "Resident Evil"...

Very fun horror movie. and yes, the movie is kind of shot with the idea that it's a single player running through a sandbox game.

Starts small and builds to a nice climax. Which may feel rushed, because there is a slight chance that it could lead into an RE2 sequel.

I don't think it's actually rushed though as it hits the peak of absolute horror for the movie and then ends, which is fine in my book..

Very well directed. Easy dialogue scripting as the main character mainly just says "Fuck" fifty million times. Good acting throughout.

Some humor, nice horror.

Not as good as "Weapons" because the story isn't particularly deep. It's a thrill ride.

Good time at the movies. Check it out.

Star power is a myth.

It had some purchase in the tightly controlled studio era, and we occasionally get a real movie star once a generation or so (will Smith in the late 90s/early 00s, Tom Cruise in the 2010s, early 2020s, but that's probably over now).

But most stars are just recognizable actors that no one actually buys tickets to movies to see specifically.

The Frog's version of Dune is gorgeous to look at, and has a few scenes that are legit awesome, like pretty much every scene with Khal Drogo, and when the heroic bagpipe music kicks in during the frontal charge scene with the sunburned anus guy Brolin leading (despite the charge being tactically stupid, and Gurney Halleck going into battle without his Combat Pug like Patrick Stewart).

But yeah, there's so much about it that sucks camel anus. Not the least of which is the total scrubbing of the word "jihad".

It should be noted that that movie did not do well at the box office.

Because Ralph Fiennes is not a movie star. He's a recognizable actor.

The number of people who buy tickets to see just him are vanishingly small. You don't pay him millions of dollar (no public info on his pay, but I would imagine at least $5 million or so) to have people not show up.

Maybe that was the acting or direction, but it’s not a movie I feel like I’d want to sit through more than once as opposed to something like LOTR which is rewatchable despite the length.

I still like the 80s version of Dune more and maybe that’s just nostalgia talking.

But it's very much aware of its own limitations. There is no competence to be found here, which is relatable--for a while. If everybody everywhere is just a jerk-off, the fun is going to be short-lived.

So the problem is, it's too realistic.

Or sells the whole thing to someone about 15 seconds after the deal closes? Or every time some high-priced 'talent' comes up for renewal, offer to renew at, say, 40% of their previous contract?

292 I read the agreement at the link.

There is a payoff to the AGs of $40M. I am not sure if that is per state or combined.

There is a payoff for someone to monitor for compliance and whatever "experts" that person hires.

The news monitoring requires 5 people with 10 years of being a reporter, 3 years with credentials, no more than 2 "affiliated" with any one political party.
2 GOP, 2 Conservative, 1 Libertarian?

It requires the company to make "commercially reasonable efforts" to use the Lots in Hollywood.
Please do not hurt yourself laughing.

Oh, there is a force majeure provision if riots and supply chain interruptions make compliance impossible.
Really, be careful with the laughter!

The film making requirements are $300M/year for 5 years, making 30 movies/year, 6 of which much cost $50M with appropriate publicity.
Those 6, at the minimum, more than cover spending requirement. That means the other 20 (4 MUST be indie productions) can cost . . . well, however much is enough to meet the release requirements.

The whole thing ends after 5 years, just in time for facilities outside of Cali to be ready.

Nikole Hannah-Jones, Who Is Unaccountably Wealthy Due to Being a DEI Race Grifter and History Hoaxer, Sent Her Kids to Poor-Performing Schools As a Political Race Stunt

This grifter created a fraudulent, and now debunked, narrative that Americans declared independence from England not for freedom or political sovereignty but for the only thing the race grifters know about history, slavery.

Because she's a Stronk Empowered Woman of Color who pushes Jason Arday-level fictions, the left made her rich.

Although actually -- she grew up fairly well-off too.

So she could have sent her kids to good schools. Or she could have paid for private schools.

Instead, she sent her kids to the poor-performing public schools in Brooklyn out of a deranged sense of racial solidarity.

Her kids suffered for her ideological derangement.

In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?

A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter's education that I hoped would challenge New York City's separate and unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice.

...

"Did you know my school was bad like this when you decided to put me here?" [my daughter] asked.

My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I worked to keep my face neutral, buying a few moments to gather my thoughts.

Now thinking of applying to competitive colleges, she googled her high school's rankings to estimate what her chances would be of getting into an Ivy League school.

She found out her mother had deliberately sent her to a shithole school.

Najya's shock had turned to boiling, and the seatbelt had barely clicked before she was confronting me.

I had braced myself for this moment, spent nearly a decade expecting it, preparing for it. When Najya was entering pre-K, my husband, Faraji, and I decided to send her to the type of school that wealthier families with choices uniformly avoid -- one that is low-income and mostly Black. Our decision had been informed by values shaped by my years of reporting on the enduring and too often seemingly hopeless battle for school integration.


...

In New York, a combination of housing segregation and "academic" sorting, called school choice, that begins as early as pre-K means most Black students -- even middle-class ones -- are forced to attend racially segregated schools with high rates of poverty.

Note that this Race Communist had gone to a good school, but denied this to her daughter.


Being given access to the most resourced public schools in my hometown allowed me to flourish academically, and I am convinced that the integrated education my husband and I received set the foundation that has allowed us to become the successful upper-middle-class family that my daughter was born into.

We are both beneficiaries of educational opportunities that were forced into existence by generations of Black parents willing to put their most personal stake -- their own children -- in the fight for school equality for all Black children.

...

And yet decades later, integration now exists for a minority of Black children -- usually those born to families like ours who have the money to pay for private schools or live in tonier ZIP codes zoned to heavily white public schools, or who can pay for tutoring that allows their children, from a very young age, to test into programs for "gifted" students. Most Black students, however, languish in the type of schools that the law was supposed to have eradicated.

So, like the generations of Black parents who came before us, Faraji and I felt an obligation to make educational decisions based on the collective good and not just our individual advantage. New York is considered one of this nation's most liberal cities, while operating a school system that is among the most racially segregated. This segregation exists because policymakers and affluent parents -- even those who profess a belief in integration and equality, -- shed their advocacy at the schoolhouse door and refuse to take or support any substantial action to integrate the city's schools. Faraji and I decided that our role in this struggle meant upending the status quo and sending our child not to a wealthy white school but to a poor Black one.

...

We thought by sending Najya to a mostly low-income and Black school, we could help improve it for all the children there.

LOL, she thought that her daughter's mere presence would improve the school.

This sounds like a lie. It sounds like she sent her daughter to a shit school to boost her own career by proving how Blackety Black she was, and is now trying to justify that selfish choice.

I hadn't intended at first to write about our decision. But a few months into the academic year, P.S. 307 became embroiled in an integration battle when parents protested the reassignment of their children from a wealthy and predominantly white school to ours. It felt impossible for me not to weigh in.

See? There was a school controversy on the Upper West Side -- I assume this is the case of school that resisted having minority students air-lifted in; leftwing Daily Show cow Samantha Bee was one of the many white liberals fighting it -- and so she ax-grinded about it.

And having put herself on the record, she had to show she was no hypocrite, so she dumped her daughter into a shit school.

In 2016, I wrote an essay in this magazine called "Choosing a School for My Daughter in a Segregated City," about our experience in a system in which educational inequality was widely accepted. Our daughter, then a kindergartner with Afro puffs, a plaid school uniform and Jordan-clad feet, appeared on the cover.

The piece struck a chord in a way I could not have predicted. Readers flooded my inbox and posted hundreds of comments. Producers invited me for interviews, book publishers came calling and I was asked to speak all over the country by communities and institutions grappling with the issue of school segregation. The essay spurred community meetings in places near and far; and in New York City, it helped ignite parent and student activism around a subject that had largely disappeared from public discourse. Even a decade later, parents still share with me how my essay led them to make similar educational decisions for their children.

In the outside world, my choice had earned me valor. And yet that day, under the withering glare of my daughter, the words that I was formulating sounded hollow to my ears even before they passed my lips.

Virtue signalling by harming your children.

Now she gaslights her daughter:


"Your school is not bad," I told her, modulating my voice. "What are you talking about?"

Najya grew agitated. "You know what I am talking about. We looked up our school! We saw the test scores. We saw the ratings." She ticked off the school's below-state average reading and math scores, and that it ranked poorly on a popular school-rating website. I said I was aware of her school's academic rankings, but that test scores alone do not define a school.

Glancing between her and the road, I told her everything that I had said a hundred times on stages, in interviews, in discussions since I had made her a symbol of how the choices we make can help sustain -- or dismantle -- educational inequality. I talked about the deep inequality in New York's schools and how, like those Black families who came before us, we had an obligation to be part of the struggle of our larger community. Even if her schools were not academically the strongest, I explained, her father and I knew that we could provide for her tutoring and any other assistance to make up for what her school may have lacked.

But my child just shook her head, her face a mask of disbelief, and something else: betrayal.

"So you had money to send me to one of the best schools, and you chose not to?" she said, hurling her words. "Because other kids are disadvantaged, you didn't want to put me in a great school?"

Najya was asking what I'd accomplished by not choosing the "best" school for her. And the honest answer is, I don't know. When it comes to the choices my husband and I have made about public education, these days I feel that I failed both my values and my child.

Yeah, you did. You are a deranged, bitter, racist, narcissistically evil cunt.

By the way, this article is about 4,000 words long. It's an epic. I can only assume she digs herself deeper into a hole of self-justification and ego as it goes along, but that will remain an assumption on my part, because I can't read this evil racist's defense of child sacrifice any longer.

Rich Lowry
@RichLowry

It's bad enough that Nikole Hannah-Jones sacrificed her child's education to her racial ideology, but she experienced the dismal results--and *learned literarily nothing from the experience*.

You'd think she'd be radicalized against the teacher unions and the complacent, self-serving NYC education bureaucracy--which is run by people who agree with her politically--but apparently it doesn't even occur to her.

If there's one lesson she should have taken from this experience, it's that consequential decisions about your child's future shouldn't be driven by an obsession with racial solidarity.

That's not how the NYC white and Asian parents that Hannah-Jones scorns think about educational decisions--overwhelmingly, they simply don't want the prospects of their children blighted by scandalously incompetent schools.

They freak-out if their kids aren't getting homework, if the lunch period is unsupervised mayhem, etc., not as part of a conspiracy to leave behind black kids, but out of a intense focus on their duty as parents to see that their own children are getting the best education possible.

Nikole Hannah Jones clearly could have learned a lot from them.

It is the new morality: Sacrificing the children for politics and status.
This was thrown into high relief during COVID, but it has its roots in the past where the children were supposed to be the proof and actualization of cultural aspirations.
Just that past generations looked to wealth, status and societal achievement as cultural aspirations, and I have no idea what they are now.
Extra moral? Which is why they are such a miserable gaggle of bluenose prigs?

68 News flash:

MOST leftist parents send (and have always sent) their kids to bad/crazy schools as a political statement, thereby ruining their own kids' lives. This has been true since the '60s.

Flashback to the '60s and '70s: In those places where there was "bussing," it was approved and implemented by upscale white liberals. Who, in so doing, caused their kids to be a part of it.

They imagined, hilariously, that what would happen is that busloads of underprivileged black kids would arive at their own kids' well-appointed schools and be thereby uplifted and make society equal. And that is how the media has always presented it.

But left out of their calculations and never depicted in the media, is the fact that for every black child bussed to a good white school, a corresponding white child was bussed to terrible black school in the ghetto.

Which white children endured this? THE CHILDREN OF THE WHITE LIBERALS WHO VOTED FOR BUSING.

So they ended up sending their own children to ghetto schools.

And this has been going on for generations.

Slavery and the slave trade are thousands of years old. The Phoenicians were shipping slaves as cargo 4000 years ago. Slavery is referenced all throughout the Old Testament.

On the promise that universal education benefits all of society.
And none of them, not a one, will be employable upon graduation.

So now the daughter has to not only try to catch up education wise, she has to reconcile in her heart the evil her parents were willing to do to her, to deny her the greatest gift parents can give, for their own benefit. So her “mother” could virtue signal to the AWFLs…….. for what reason?

I wonder if the daughter will figure out that wypipo aren't her enemy. Apparently she was smart enough to do her own research and look at her school's lousy rankings -- will she go further and take another look at "white supremacy"?

Heh, it would be hilarious if she caught up but good and learned just how much of a fraud her mother is. Maybe she could write an expose of her lousy school and lead a campaign against the teachers' un----

210 You've heard of "Helicopter Parents".

Nikole is a "Helicopter Ride Parent".

She took her child and dropped her off at a school simply because it was black. Like, kicked the kid out of the hovering helicopter like she was some South American presidente, then flew away

Did mommy follow up on the schooling? On the homework? Home teaching for any gaps? Doesn't sound like it.

She only found out because the poor kid confronted her. And said kid was smart enough to realize that the cubbron stunt of a egg donor ruined her childhood education as a political stunt. And said donor only understood when it was directly pointed out to her. Well, maybe didn't quite understand. Just enough to realize she had her next publishing article for the next deadline.

If DataRepublican can standardized her "6 weeks = 2 years" AI-based training regime for kids, victims like Nikole's child might actually succeed.

And the 'teachers' that were directly responsible for the failure? Directly; not indirect ones tied down by Lowest-Common-Denominator thugs-in-seats because the admins get $$$ for each filled seat and passed-through kid. Those teachers and admins should get their own helicopter rides.

Yes, but it has traditionally replaced it. As black replaced colored, as colored replaced Negro, etc. I've never seen them use black and A-A together. How does someone get to be both?

282 I know that the "School choice" voucher system is supposed to be a Conservative encouraged program....BUT....the more I see of how horrendous certain schools are, and how the students are big part of those failures, the less enthusiastic I am about tranporting that indifferent "poison" to schools that actually teach.

Sure, it might (MIGHT) benefit those using the vouchers, if they choose that route. But, more likely than not, it would just denigrate a functioning school (not because of race...but because of attitude).

My personal opinion is that schools improving has more to do with discipline. Teachers should be held accountable for the illiteracy...BUT, at the same time I understand the concept of "leading a horse to water". Which brings up to necessary task of cutting bad horses from the herd, and not being afraid to act without consideration to skin color. I see videos of classroom situations and compare them to my own experience, and it's ridiculous. Half the class if not more would have been suspended for their behavior.

The vouchers allow the parents that do care to help their children escape. These probably have instilled better work ethics on their kids, if not they should be expelled.

When I was a kid we were in a catholic elementary for most of my time, and then in a good public school system when finances couldn't support. In the 80s and 90s about half of Chicago Catholic schools' students weren't Catholic, just parents who wanted to avoid failing public schools.

It is interesting.
Who, usually, buys the most music generally?
Who listens to it most?

I’d say younger people, 10 - 30, let’s say, spend the most time listening to music and they influence musical trends the most. And if that age group, I’d say the majority of those are women.

Could be that that age group is growing tired of rap and hip hop and are listening to other genres or classic rock more these days.

I hope so, it would be better for the industry to diversify from rap, pop, folk-rock and Divas.
It would be better for my playlist, too.

You reminded me of something. Do you remember that benefit concert they did for the Palisades fires? They raised over $100 Million. The money didn't go directly to the fire victims. Instead it went to a bunch of non-profits that were listed on the organizing company's website....and since taken down (rather abruptly, I might add).

Every single one of those non-profits was a music producer. One of them was Will.I.Am....and then a bunch of similar never heard of before foundations. Only a minute fraction of that $100 Million was used for anything related to the fire in Palisades. The rest? Your guess is as good as mine. All rapp music producers though.

297 Nicole and her husband were "deeply involved" in the school’s visible, ideological, and public-facing life, but not in the vigilant daily work of ensuring their daughter was actually learning and being supported.

Their daughter became an accessory to their educational ideology rather than the central focus of it. Nicole’s account also reads, at least in part, as an effort to establish her own interpretation before her daughter’s fuller version of events can challenge it.

Trump Announces Ban on CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from White House Press Room

Trump goes off.


President Donald Trump on Monday defended his decision to ban three news networks from the White House, characterizing his actions as a crackdown on "fake news" and not an attack on the free press.

...

"The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America," he posted on Truth Social. "It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW!"

Have you heard of Natalie Harp? If not, you haven't been paying attention to CNN and MSNOW and the Fake News Outlets. She's Trump's personal aide, and she's pretty, blonde, and reportedly very loyal.

So of course Democrats and the Democrat-Media began suggesting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Trump is having a sexual affair with her.

This is really going to set off the Fake News Media: Reportedly, it was Natalie Harp who shared clips of the fake news coverage of these outlets that prompted Trump to ban them.


Natalie Harp, a close aide to President Donald Trump, reportedly showed him a series of media clips before he moved to ban CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, CNN reported, citing "people familiar with the matter."

...

Harp, for her part, has been in the news recently, with the media focusing on her intense loyalty to the president. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., kicked off speculation about their relationship when he mentioned her in a campaign speech.

The Fake News Outlets are now suing, and the rest of the left-wing propaganda networks are suspending coverage of the White House in solidarity with their fellow propagandists.


Major television networks agreed on Monday to suspend their pooled coverage of President Donald Trump after the White House refused to allow CNN to serve as a pool representative.

The decision escalates a showdown between the Trump administration and the legacy media outlets following Trump's decision to ban MS NOW, CNN and Politico reporters from entering the White House, the New York Times reported.

Those networks plan to file a lawsuit against Trump over the ban.

For years, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC have shared television coverage of presidential events, pooling the financial costs and distributing the footage that is aired by news organizations globally. The networks perform these duties on a rotation, and CNN had been scheduled to cover Trump's travel to the United Nations General Assembly on Monday.

Here is some of the work of these totally unbiased outlets:

And don't forget: Barack Obama tried to ban Fox News from the White House in 2009, in the very beginning of his term.

Now he asks, rhetorically, can you even imagine if I tried to do what Trump is doing now?

I don't have to imagine it, Champ. I read about it when it happened.

Fox news was threatened with removal from one meeting, and everyone stood up and did the same for them. They know that if they do not do it now, they will be out during the next Democrat presidency.

they’re only doing it now because that’s what Trump wants. He wanted all the opposition out of the room for when he bends over for Xi but having no one else in the room is even more ideal. Even Fox News might struggle to explain away footage of Trump on his knees.

Happy dance! The moment he realizes no one is following him, he's going to melt down. Love it! Vote Blue!

Having direct access to officials in government through a special office on the White House grounds is part of the way these orgs actually form relationships with government officials.

They're giving that up to conservatives who can take those offices and start talking off the record to the same people, forming those relationships.

The only line of attack I've heard against Whatley is that he "hired a pedophile" to be part of his campaign.

The pedo line is really an online only thing, and when it's this far removed from the actual candidate, it feels like trying to make something out of nothing that the electorate will give a shit about.

I never read the ONT, (work) but I often scan it and sometimes even Piper's ette couture bit.

When I lived near NYC, I used to watch the fashion week coverage on the local cable channel. Not that I care about fashion, but the runway was the best chance of catching a stray nipple on TV at the time. (I would not pay for premium -- i am not a perv or anything.)

What the ette couture slot needs is some of that. Just a suggestion.

Posted by: because it would be interesting to know at September 21, 2026 01:51 PM (anL5R)

========

Well, if the misses in the primaries are any indication...decently well.

The thing is that senate races drive up turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them.

They'll be like 98% people who voted in the previous presidential election and roughly 90% of overall turnout levels.

Another issue with recent polling is the sheer number of people who say they didn't vote in 2024 saying they'll vote in 2026.

It's usually something like 2% for midterms (can go as high as 10% in presidentials). But these polls have 20% not 2024 voters.

This is just...bad data that is creating these polls.

Previously, they (Trump's base) haven't shown up during midterms, hurting Republicans. While he's doing much better on immigration this term, that's old news. I think his base is probably a little demotivated by high gas prices, the dragged out conflict with Iran, and non-stop confusion on Israel/Palestine (I know, I think it's dumb, but it matter to people on both sides more than I thought. Some right wing voters really are buying this Jews run everything nonsense...)

Midterms generally have lower turnout, so even minor changes in turnout will have big effects.

Force them to not only correct the record, but state WHY they got it wrong in the first place. And no lies about that. "We regret the error; it is not up to our journalistic stands," none of that. "We didn't check the facts because of our bias, and once we were presented with the facts we chose not to correct the record because we'd rather everyone believed the lies."

205 200 Jon Stewart, who had the mega corporation Viacom, funding his political speech, daily, during the McCain Feingold years, made a statement about the Citizens United decision on his pod cast recently. And I don't think the Daily Show was known for taming its snark "close to an election", either.

But "There's too much money in politics" is apparently the reason that a 501c4 non-profit should not be allowed to release a documentary. So only the media mega-corporations and their massive influence should be allowed to speak, of course.

BREAKING UPDATE 🚨 - ERICKA LOMICK SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN FOR TEXAS HOUSE DISTRICT 93

After my article was released regarding Ericka Lomick, the Democratic nominee for Texas House District 93 in Tarrant County, she has now announced that she is suspending her campaign.

Her announcement states:

“After careful consideration, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for House District 93,” Lomick said. “Although this was not an easy decision, I am convinced that it was the right one for the people of HD 93.”

This comes immediately following my reporting regarding Lomick’s candidacy and her documented federal criminal history.

Her latest outrage - apparently this race hustler has written a series of "romance" books and is mad because they haven't been picked up and made into movies. Huh? Anyway, her claim is because of racism in Hollywood, blah, blah. This woman is seriously damaged.

271 Did she forget or something? I mean, anyone who donated to her campaign should sue for fraud. Its not like she would be allowed to vote or hold a committee assignment even if she somehow had won.

To abandon this area now -- and to rely only on efforts against alQaeda from a distance -- would significantly hamper our ability to keep the pressure on al Qaeda, and create an UNACCEPTABLE RISK of additional attacks on our homeland and our allies.

The best I can hope for is that he has an idea of what he's doing and gets more out of how he's doing it than he loses.

All that aside, what the fuck are the rest of the the Republican party doing that's so much better?

306 I'm glad he finally did it. All I ever seemed to see the rare times i watched him take questions, is these sub-r*tard reporters trying to ask him some kind of 'gotcha' question which never worked because..well, they're r*tards and they couldn't outwit a golden retriever. They just kept trying to one up each other being disrespectful.
Now they're just reporting their internal r*tard games of telephone making up sh*t about him and asking him to react. Why waste his time? Come back when you can do your job as a professional. This isn't adult day care.
