Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Former Internet Celebrity Perez Hilton Hospitalized After Repeatedly Cutting Himself During a Livestream, Screaming "I'm Doing This for My Children!"You probably have cleared your organic hard-drive of this nasty buffoon. He's the guy who ruined Miss America aspirant's chances by demanding she say that transgenders should be allowed to compete in Miss America. When she -- rather stunned by the question -- babbled out a careful answer that ultimately ended in "no," Hilton declared her answer "ugly." His whole career, if you can call it that, consisted of spreading gossip and attacking people posting pictures of his enemies after having crudely drawn semen on their faces. He then paid a surrogate to give him a couple of Fashion Accessory Children and disappeared into a well-earned obscurity. Apparently he's not handling that obscurity well.Cutting himself with a kitchen knife, they mean. A representative for Mr. Hilton, Dante Rusciolelli, wrote in an email on Wednesday that he had no additional information on Mr. Hilton's condition. "Our focus remains on Perez's health, recovery, and the privacy of both him and his family during this incredibly difficult time," he said. Later on Wednesday, a statement on Mr. Hilton's website said, "We can confirm that Perez is receiving medical care, and our family's focus right now is on his well-being." "Perez Hilton is the most important blogger and gay icon of the Internet Age," declared AOS commenter "garrett." He then bragged about his fucking mountain bike.There is a disturbing clip of his Tik Tok Cutting Sesh on X. I wouldn't watch it. It shows him covered in his own blood screaming "I'm doing this for my children!" Video here. What he can do for his children is not contest Florida's likely move to take his children away and place them in the home of a non-lunatic.

There but for the Grace of God....
Interestingly, Deadline didn't cover this. I was surprised. However, since it's a Hollywood thread, they did have this about a movie I'm amazed is being made. EXCLUSIVE: Here is your first full trailer for Jonathan Majors‘ comeback movie, Run Hide Fight: Infidels, a sequel of sorts to The Daily Wire‘s 2020 movie Run Hide Fight. The film sparked a level of controversy online five weeks ago when its provocative logline was revealed as follows: “When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce barbaric Sharia law on students and execute infidels in a makeshift caliphate, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of ‘Uncle Tom’ smears, and a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers and keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil.

I am really concerned by this trend of buying children this way. I honestly have no idea what, if anything, can be done. Surrogacy can be very helpful to loving couples who would be great parents. But it's also being used by awful people who shouldn't be around children at all. I suppose this is true of most things. Evil people can extort just about anything. But I don't see much difference between rich people buying children from desperate families and rich people paying a surrogate to give birth to a child. Most western people would see the issue with the first. Posted by: bonhomme at August 06, 2026 01:47 PM (mkw2N) 96

Posted by: FenelonSpoke =============== In all seriousness, "Perez Hilton," as he billed himself, was a HUGE internet star until TMZ caught him and celebrities took to Instagram and started breaking their own news and releasing their own sex tapes. At times, I confess, I found him catchy and funny. I remember a picture of Lindsey Lohan he posted stumbling out of some club leaning on someone in her retinue and Hilton captioned it "Lindsey Lohan exits club with seeing eye friend."

But given Fauci's arrogance and sense if invulnerability, there's probably more to come.A Senate panel investigating Dr. Anthony Fauci has obtained a copy of the doctor's iPhone, potentially securing even more records related to the doctor's actions during the Covid-19 pandemic. ...More at the link. From a couple of weeks ago: Deborah Birx was never pardoned. Birx is Dr. Fauci's accomplice, and while far less evil than Fauci, because there is little indication that she actually conspired to create the COVID virus that wiped out tens of millions of people, she participated in the subsequent destruction that destroyed lives and split this country apart. She lied repeatedly, causing enormous damage, and decided that she and Fauci could run a shadow government and do an end run around the political leadership elected by the American people.
All these sociopaths do is lie and then bully you into accepting their lies by saying "Trust the Science." Deborah Birx from her memoir, explaining how "two weeks to flatten the curve" was just marketing for harsh, months-long lockdowns that she was really planning: "On Monday and Tuesday [March 9th and 10th, 2020]...we worked simultaneously to develop the flatten-the-curve guidance I hoped to present to the vice president at week's end. Getting buy-in on the simple mitigation measures every American could take was just the first step leading to longer and more aggressive interventions. We had to make these palatable to the administration by avoiding the obvious appearance of a full Italian lockdown. ... No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it. Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread was a start, but I knew it would be just that. I didn't have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them."

There and are no "numbers" to support lockdowns, period. Which was well understood long before 2020. The actual science, such as it is, was tossed out completely in 2020.
From memory, the summary conclusion of a meta-study done by a team led by the guy who oversaw the eradication of smallpox world-wide (2006): "there is no research or historical observation to support the quarantine of healthy populations to prevent the spread of influenza". The ease with which the greatest country in history was hijacked, vandalized, looted, and turned into a ridiculous science fair experiment is the most important and revealing development in generations.

Fauci got a federal pardon. He did not get a pardon from any state. There are currently 3 states pursuing legal action against him, one being Florida. He will likely never do time but watching him spend the rest of his miserable life getting his halo busted over and over is going to be enjoyable and might just turn out to be better than making him a martyr.

WSJ is full of it. Some more unpardoned:
Assistant Secretary for Health & a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, Dr. Levine oversaw the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) and the U.S. Public Health Service. She reported directly to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Xavier Becerra. 👈🏻 Because the NIH operates as its own distinct agency within the broader HHS umbrella, Dr. Fauci's agency was a peer entity rather than a subordinate to Dr. Levine's office. They worked alongside each other as high-ranking advisors on the White House COVID-19 Response Team, but neither had authority over the other. What about Rochelle Paula Walensky who served as the 19th director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2021 to 2023?

The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of deaths Fauci and Birx and the rest of them will be responsible for haven't even occurred yet. I'm not talking about long term effects of the "vaccines" and "boosters."
By decaying the trust on those dependent "medical experts", when a true deadly virus/disease/bacterial outbreak occurrs (and it will), a significant number of people are going to resppond the way I will....with a big hardy "F*ck You." Posted by: Orson at August 06, 2026 12:44 PM (dIske) 128
Yes, it's theater but it's instructive theater.
When normies are dunking on the (former) St. Fauci for his 5th Amendment claims, despite a federal pardon, that's not nothing. Fauci could have taken the questioning like a man and showed the supposed chuds in Congress his superior intellect, but like a coward, he turned tail and ran. Of course at least one of the scientific organizations I'm a member of made a statement of support for Fauci, the fucking frauds. Posted by: Thrawn at August 06, 2026 12:44 PM (2qSHg) 129

Essentially, the bubble of the expert class is popped in the minds of normies. "Experts say" becomes a punchline rather than a rhetorical backstop and argumentation tool. So that when they see it used unironically, there's automatic distrust bubbling under the surface rather than unalloyed trust. And Fauci is the central symbol of that.

Because there's no up side for him. As long as he's willing to keep up the lie, leftists will vote for him. Once a pol admits the Dems are scum, they won't. Posted by: Archimedes at August 06, 2026 12:57 PM (Riz8t) 188

One of the most amusing parts of COVID...
According to "official" numbers China had 1/30the the COVID deaths the US did. And instead of the clot shot they developed a traditional COVID vaccine. Now their vaccine probably did nothing since flu like illnesses mutate too quickly for a vaccine to work, but it also didn't have the clot shot side effects. So essentially a saline injection was 30 times more effective then the clot shot. Now if you present this to a Branch COVIDian they will claim China just falsified their numbers, which is likely true. But then so did the CDC and that for some reason they won't agree with...

The Northern District of Texas strikes again, granting final judgement in a case with GOA and Silencer Shop Foundation to challenge the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act. The Judgement rules that because the government no longer collects a tax on short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns, and suppressors, then their entire regulatory scheme is unconstitutional as it exceeds their authority as it no longer uses the enumerated taxing power

Fetterman answers whether he'll cross the aisle to confirm Trump AG nominee Todd Blanche
The Pennsylvania Democrat, who supported Pam Bondi, told Jon Stewart he tries to 'call balls and strikes' on nominees By Robert McGreevy Fox News Published August 6, 2026 Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said Wednesday he would not vote for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to officially take over the role leading the Department of Justice. During a Wednesday appearance on comedian Jon Stewart's podcast, Fetterman was pressed on Democrats' failure to use the Senate filibuster to block President Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees. The senator responded by claiming he would not vote for Blanche, who is Trump's choice for attorney general. "Many of them I didn't vote for," Fetterman said, referring to Trump's Cabinet nominees.

All while Rogers got a great line in last night. "He cares about Palestine. I care about Michigan." That, if repeated, will stick.
---------- If that's the exact quote I hate it. Starting with "he cares" is brutally bad persuasion. Especially because few believe the second part. You never want to boost your opponent. Telling the entire audience that your opponent "cares" is so bad. It doesn't matter what you say they care about, not on the level that people feel.

Brix ticked me off big time when she did not explain what President Trump meant by "inhaling bleach." Or taking bleach...and the MSM ran with it.
I don't remember the details and don't feel like looking them up in my busy day of procrastination in real life. There was a study of using something similar to help people's lungs while intubated on vents. That's what he was talking about. A NYC MD, early on, tried to explain that once on a vent people with COVID appeared to have stiff lungs and were not responding like pneumonia patients. I am paraphrasing from memory. That putting them on vents was the wrong thing to do vs hyperbaric chambers as if treating for decompression sickness. No one listened to him and others (two docs in California). She sat there in her mask and scarf and rolled her eyes and did not explain when Trump mentioned bleach. I wanted to slap her. She ruined scarves for me for awhile. I still have silk scarves and may return to them now and then with sweaters next spring. That was also unforgivable. Not that I look like that Karen, thank goodness. Ole bint.

The federal government has removed COVID-19 vaccines from the list of shots recommended for healthy pregnant women and children.
This move has led to a significant divergence between federal policy and state-level actions, with a majority of states refusing to adopt the new, narrower guidelines. As of January 2026, 28 states and Washington, D.C., have announced they will not follow the new, narrower CDC child vaccine recommendations. These 28 states are largely relying on previous recommendations from the CDC or guidelines from medical groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which continue to recommend vaccines for children and pregnant individuals. Key states that have rejected the new federal policy include California, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and others, mostly led by Democratic governors.

246 Saw the Ireland anti-Israel blurb on the sidebar.
I worked for a health insurance company. One of my jobs was to oversee 3rd party vendors. His meant I had to listen to phone calls between associates and members, then give the call a quality score. Being it was in Ireland I thought I'd hear lots of Irish accents. 70'-80% of calls randomly selected involved associates from other countries. Ireland has cut it's own throat with their love of Maexism. Posted by: Erebus- Ex Killer Whale at August 06, 2026 01:19 PM (fFtfs) I recall that Ireland had some special tax dodge; a US company I was familiar with set up a subsidiary or some other construct in Ireland for one of their core processes, and used that to lower their tax burden. Much like the H-1Bs, this involved firing American workers and outsourcing the employment remotely. This was about a decade or so ago, before COVID was a thing.

El Sayed is now arguing capitalism is stopping people from having sex - specifically because you have to spend time working you have less time for sex.
This is how insane the left has gotten. It is certainly true that time working can't be spent on other things like sex (unless you are Kamala) but that would be equally true (and more so) in a socialist state where working hours are longer and harder. But the left is getting away with making the argument that socialism means you get good and services without having to work. And the unanswered part of this is then who is going the work if you are busy running trains on your local drug zombies instead of working? Posted by: 18-1 at August 06, 2026 11:04 AM (sKqQm) 15

The feedback mechanism for self-government is completely severed or broken.
It's just taken for granted those that get elected aren't beholden to the citizenry, they spend most of their time massaging their image, or explaining why they can't do anything that they are required to do by law, "we can't get their from here" or "that's not who we are". Everything is just unspeakably corrupt. It is true, "that which cannot go on, won't", but it takes a lot longer than we'd like. Posted by: Common Tater at August 06, 2026 11:06 AM (xBJ7x) 18

That pierced & tatted 20-something gas been indoctrinated by the education system, media and entertainment industry to see the world thru the prism of "Oppressed/Oppressor" dynamics, so they are more likely to adopt a self-critical position that they've been somehow privileged in a way that "undocumented migrant" hasn't and therefore that migrant should be granted all the things that they themselves can't afford.

("we need to cut the population to 4 billion") [Albeit followed by a link to "The Insidious Population Reduction Narrative Disguised as ‘Sustainability Science’"] For a while now, I've been wondering: Are the people who fear The Population Bomb (disciples and heirs of Paul Ehrlich) and the folks who worry about low birth rates and the need for Population Replacement the same folks?

They tried to drive Trump from office. When that failed they weaponized a virus they created to rig an election and get rid of him. Then they tried to throw him in prison to prevent him from ever running again. And when all of that failed they tried to murder him over and over again.
We tend to fixate on things that aren't getting done without ever appreciating the sea change that is taking place in this country and the world. And it's largely due to the courage of one man, Trump. Trump has an ego the size of the universe. Maybe that's what drives him. I don't care. He's the most consequential person in my lifetime and someday our kids kids will look back at this time and say one guy changed the trajectory of the world, Donald J. Trump. And I'm here for it.

I always find it interesting, shall we say, that these same people complaining about how they're broke and can't get a good job and so on are sporting hundreds of dollars worth of piercings (septum and other specialty piercings aren't cheap) and hundreds to thousands of dollars worth of tattoos, which also aren't cheap. Maybe if you banked the 3 grand instead of spending it on self-mutilation, you could have gotten a better apartment, or had an emergency fund, or put a down payment on a car. Instead you set it on fire and made yourself broadly unemployable with your triple nasal cartilage piercings and face tats.

I get into arguments with the following statement, and it causes a lot of anger: Slavery is not a race or class issue, it is a legal status enforced by the state, no different from peonage, serfdom or indentured servitude.
In all situations, the state requires individuals subject to it to enforce this legal status to the financial benefit of a limited number of beneficiaries. Today H1Bs and H1A workers are the same, and honestly so are illegals. There is a government architecture that enforces them not being able to compete openly for employment and wages, and this drives down the wages they can demand, to the benefit of a limited number of beneficiaries. The reason this pisses liberals off, especially the older Civil Rights ones is because they are focused on race, but want their lawns mowed cheaply, and this argument claims they are no better than the people they were supposed to be fighting against.

>>If 5% of Democrat voters decide to stay home because they don't want to vote for a Star Wars name, those voters mostly relegated to the rural areas of Michigan, it can cause issues for El-Sayed.
Who knows? Maybe at some point people who keep saying nothing will happen will notice that the Harmeet Dhillon election integrity project is having a profound affect. And it's not just her department. PA has been forced to clean their voter rolls largely thanks to one guy, Scott Presler. Democrats lead statewide in PA is now down to 25,000 and shrinking. I haven't seen any issue in my lifetime that has more bi-partisan support than voter ID. It is truly a 90-10 issue. And yet there are powerful forces blocking it. Because that is the only thing preventing us from massive majorities in DC. But they won't win forever, waves on rocks and waves always win in the end. We'll get our country back if we stop eeyoring and expect to win. Posted by: JackStraw at August 06, 2026 11:47 AM (viF8m) 131

As people flee a town, county, even the state, severely underfunded employee pensions - obligations for retired police, teachers, maintenance workers, etc. become a huge issue.
Half of my county is wealthy and maintains strong borders with high home prices, smaller schools and large land preserves. Their taxes are quite reasonable. My half the county must support much larger schools, much tighter "middle class" & "starter size" housing, and then also the community college, a county prison system (taken over from private industry), several county created non-profits, the unnecessary board of health, etc. We peons also have a plethora of very well paid teachers & administrators (though the kids are now dumb as rocks); and often large, necessary police forces (in lieu of utilizing the State Police as the wealthy tend to); some paid firefighting services, plus - from outside the area - paid EMT services. Undocumented immigrants 'contribute' tens of billions annually to state & local governments through sales taxes on purchases & property taxes embedded in rent.

Don't worry about a real estate crash. AI will do the right thing and prevent it. It has no ulterior motives.
In my own work with AI I find you have to be careful in what you tell it to do because it will then implement what it thinks is the best way to accomplish that even if the method is overall bad - like hitting a database with a bunch of low value queries. I'm not worried about Skynet with AI but I am worried about variations on the grey goo problem - so for example you could task AI with fixing the roads and give it robots and if you aren't careful it could decide the best way to keep the roads in good shape was to cover 100% of the earth in asphalt.

El Sayed is now arguing capitalism is stopping people from having sex - specifically because you have to spend time working you have less time for sex.
This is how insane the left has gotten. It is certainly true that time working can't be spent on other things like sex (unless you are Kamala) but that would be equally true (and more so) in a socialist state where working hours are longer and harder. But the left is getting away with making the argument that socialism means you get good and services without having to work. And the unanswered part of this is then who is going the work if you are busy running trains on your local drug zombies instead of working? == Islamosocialists are using socialism/communism as a means to destroy the Great Satan. They are appealing to the stupid people with the false promise of free shit, knowing the end result is the destruction of the United States. So they are a natural fit for the democrats. Although your typical hippie democrat actually believes Utopia is achievable. Islamosocialist know that it will bring ruin. Out of the ruin rises the new caliphate.

This is wonderful. The rich, realistic detail, the natural light flooding the room, each person's expression is individual and reflects the playfulness of the moment (something that reminds me of Rembrandt and Norman Rockwell who did that so effectively), it all combines to create a mood. It is easy to imagine the motion and sound of laughter going on in the room. I especially like the small child reaching for a treat while the adults are distracted with the game. (Priorities, priorities.) The painting reflects family joy with the different generations present. Thoroughly delightful.

Hide and Seek, 1890
Konstantin Makovsky Makovsky was very talented - and today's art selection is also an interesting history lesson - but I would pass on hanging it. Thank you. AI Overview - The formal Imperial Russian social hierarchy depicted in Konstantin Makovsky's painting lasted in its fully legally codified form for roughly 130 to 250 years, depending on how its peak era is measured, before being completely abolished in November 1917. It was abruptly terminated following the Bolshevik Revolution by the Soviet Decree on the Abolition of Estates and Civil Ranks on November 10, 1917.

Not really but I will say that mindfulness can help. I know it's a thing now and I guess it belongs to Gen Z or whatever but it predates them. Two to five minutes just focusing on the moment and nothing else. What you can physically feel (chair) or smell or hear (background noise). It's like a little reset button. I like prayer too but it's not for everyone. Sometimes it's all I have. And if none of that works you can always just spread the misery. Nothing is quite as satisfying as pissing someone off who was perfectly content and satisfied until you dragged them down into your muck. Posted by: ... at August 06, 2026 10:39 AM (29deB) 161

153 Democrats are completely convinced they are going to win the House with their muslim communist horde.
“Everybody thinks Trump is a poopyhead. His ratings are lower than Biden”. *side eye* Posted by: Vengeance at August 06, 2026 10:37 AM (YJn0R) ====== I've said for like 20 months that I think the Democrats will barely take the House. Combination of turnout differentials (out of party voters just vote at higher rates, not even Obama's people could figure out how to reverse that) and gerrymandering after the 2020 census that made swing districts an endangered species (the redistricting wars earlier this year made them even more endangered). Dems take the House by less than 5 seats. Senate remains in GOP hands. So, shutdown theater (advantage executive since the president has authority to shift money around in that instance) while we clean out RINOs in the Senate and keep on with appointments. Also, DHS is fully funded through 2028 and DOJ won't slow its roll because of a bare Dem majority in the House.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied an appeal from the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority to halt a $656 million judgment. The ruling means the victims and their families are now one step closer to being paid damages, following years of legal battles over terrorism attacks. “The lawsuit was filed by victims of attacks in Jerusalem in the early 2000s that killed 33 people and wounded hundreds more,” the Associated Press reported. “Families brought their lawsuit under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law aimed at opening U.S. courts to victims of international terror attacks.” A significant legal victory for American victims of Palestinian terrorism. I suppose I could be cynical and say given the trajectory of the nation, at least the seeming trajectory in throwing a bone to the cockeyed optimists out there — before long this decision will somehow become null and void. Barring some wholly unforeseen development, such as Republicans actually mounting an effective challenge somewhere, the 120th Congress will convene on January 3, 2027 with a record seven Muslim members, six representatives and, for the first time in American history, one senator. And for Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations in the U.S., the future looks bright. Before 2007, there were no Muslim in the House of Representatives or Senate at all. The seven Muslim legislators who will be sworn in (on the Qur’an, no doubt) in January will include the four representatives in the 119th Congress: Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.); Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.); Andre Carson (D-Ind.), and Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.). Joining them will be the nation’s first Muslim senator, Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.), as well as Reps. Darializa Avila Chevalier (D-N.Y.) and Adam Hamawy (D-N.J.).My only consolation in an Islamized Ameriqqqa is that should I God-forbid still be alive to witness that nightmare I will at least have the pleasure of watching the Democrats and Leftists get their heads lopped off first, having sold us down the river and thus rendering their political alliance with Islam no longer necessary and its own preternatural lust for absolute power, that led to this alliance of convenience, a potential threat to our new Mullahocratic overlords. Elsewhere, and as CBD and I have discussed with disgust for the umpteenth friggin' time on the latest episode of the podcast linked here as well as in the sidebar and on all the popular platforms listed at the bottom of the post, We are fed up with President Trump's constant yammering about how Iran is going to get it good and hard if they don't sign on to some bullshit ceasefire accord. Well, leave it to Lurker extraordinaire, friend of the blog and #1 Ace cruelty fanboi Prof. Victor Davis Hanson to be the one to put things in perspective. The Long View of Iran: The headlines focus on negotiations, but the war’s real story is this: Iran is steadily being broken by sanctions, isolation, and relentless military pressure. . . Bottom line? Iran is losing whether it is being bombed, sanctioned, or embargoed—or all three. Its ultimate fate now rests with the Trump administration, which apparently has not yet decided what, exactly, that fate will be.Read the whole thing as he goes point by point. Well, at least CBD and I shockingly over the course of the last several episodes have completely ignored the Fauci revelations. Wow, how did we miss that? Others seem to think that Senator Rand Paul is going to come down hard on the Mass-murdering fiend. Considering his victim count, between the virus cum bio-weapon he created for the Chi-Coms with our own money as well as the toxic vaccines from Big Pharma, is up there with Pol Pot if not Mao or Stalin, a gallows would be appropriate if not too good for this rodent-like bastard. When Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth over 100 times during a Senate hearing last week, many Americans were pleased that the face of the Biden administration’s coronavirus response was forced to face his critics. But many other Americans were left wondering: would Fauci face anything worse than an embarrassing viral hearing? He will if Senator Rand Paul has anything to say about it. The Kentucky Republican is determined to bring the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases to justice. Speaking to The Daily Wire Wednesday, Paul explained why he’s confident that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold the embattled doctor in contempt — and what he thinks could happen next.Well, as our wonderful president (and I mean that in all sincerity) is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. And that said, Forget Greasy Kid Stuff Newsom, Mayor Buttplug or Chlamydia Harris, I think the Democrats might at long last have their ideal candidate for 2028 — Mini-Mengele Fauci! Have a good day, and on a personal note, thank you for all your good wishes yesterday. And thank goodness for the A-Bomb that ended World War Two 81 years ago today.

I guess I'm one who's willing to fight in the trenches of the Language War. Since this is a written language forum I'll go on the record as preferring the rather old fashioned term "Mohammedan." Churchill used it.
I think it conveys a stronger yet subtle message than "Muslim" or even "Islamist." It reflects the stark contrast with "Christian" which also refers to a specific set of beliefs based on a specific individual. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"uBlock Origin" - anti-ad-ware/malware block "NoScript" - Prevents javascript running on any site unless I approve it (temporarily or permanently) and I can mark certain sites as "UNTRUSTED" permanently as well. Privacy Badger - automatically learns to block hidden trackers Canvas Blocker - prevent websites from using some Javascript APIs to fingerprint them SponsorBlock (for YouTube) - skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos Port Authority - Blocks all possible types of port scanning. (Did you know web sites can try to port-scan your INTERNAL network from your browser? They can. This blocks that crap.) Redirector - specify patterns for pages that should be automatically redirected to other pages (I use this to auto-redirect x.com links to nitter.net) AiBlock for YouTube - Block AI-slop channels (community driven) &udm=14 - Adds "&udm=14" to google search URL automatically so results avoid AI crap.

Immigrants consumed around $401.6 billion in welfare and entitlement benefits in 2023, according to a recent study by the left-of-center Cato Institute think tank, which noted that American-born citizens tend to benefit more than their immigrant counterparts. Around $125.2 billion in funding was consumed by noncitizens, according to the report, and another $310.1 billion by naturalized immigrants.

Exposing election fraud is one thing.
Preventing it is quite something else. And we're not even close to that, yet, if ever. Because the judiciary is still squarely on the left's side and has what I consider the deciding vote in any "election." I'm not even sure how to go about resolving that without extreme measures. The DSA, the Islamists understand this and use the threat of violence to keep the judiciary from "making mistakes" that would stymie their ambitions. It is working. To one degree or another.

But my support for Trump combined with the inescapable reality of the Left's true nature and its unholy alliance with Islamic theocratic fascism -- reminders of which is unendurable to them, those 60s progeny -- seems to have made conversation and social accord impossible.

For those interested in owning SpaceX stock, today is the first of several waves of employee shares coming to market. Between now and the end of the year 11 times the supply of shares sold at the IPO will become eligible to sell, meaning some percentage of those share will be sold and put pressure on the stock price. So even if you are wildly bullish about the company, and want to leave shares to your kids when you go (like me), it probably best serves your interest to let all this share supply hit the market and see where the stock price goes. Personally, I am hoping to buy in the $85-95 range.

I've learned a couple of things about NR Pax that I didn't know earlier, most of which are unimportant. My name has remained constant for a couple of decades here; my hash has changed due to both changing internet providers as well as my current internet provider changing my external IP address as it sees fit (with StarLink, only the IPV6 address is useful for external access and THAT changes at random intervals).

One of the interesting points in the Iran war is that the US is not invading and only marginally interested in regime change
The US wins if Iran stops supporting terrorist groups, blocking the straight (for whatever level that means), and working on nukes. Iran wins if the US does not achieve these goals. But based on the way Trump is fighting the war - small investments of US treasure and even smaller investments of US lives, Iran has only one path to winning, getting Democrats elected in the US.

>>Michigan imam Hassan Qazwini forcefully urged his congregants to turn out in force for Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday. . .
Qazwini has a long history of inflammatory and antisemitic rhetoric. In 2020, Sanders's presidential campaign denounced what it called Qazwini's "antisemitic conspiracy theories" and "toxic" comments after Qazwini claimed that Israel funds ISIS and that the terrorist group was "playing the role of the arm of the Zionist in the Muslim world." And Qazwini has described Sanders as an honorable man, "even though he is a Jew." In 2024, Qazwini labeled lawmakers who supported the Antisemitism Awareness Act "stooges of Israel" and said they should be "indicted and convicted of treason." And Qazwini has publicly praised Iran and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist group in Lebanon. In a June 26 sermon, he said Iran had "stood firm" and "humiliated the most powerful man on earth." During a March 24 sermon, he prayed for Allah to "grant victory to our brothers in Iran" and "inflict defeat upon Your Zionist enemies," according to an English translation.

If Fauci gets referred to the DOJ for contempt, they'd have to bring the charges in DC since it was the location of the committee hearing where the contempt occurred. So we all know how this ends.
Which is also why I kept banging on holding the hearing at some deep red location. Hearings have regularly been held outside DC. There's nothing preventing it. If Fauci had been facing a contempt charge in the federal court division seated in Pikeville KY, I don't think he would have taken the 5th.

Flock camera. White County, Georgia.
Gun Commanders store & parking lot. And yeah, from the picture, it's pointed right at the gun store & parking lot. White County, Georgia. The Flock camera is pointed right at the parking lot of the gun shop. Now there could be 5 people a day scanned by this or 5000 people a day, the end result is the same - the hoovering up of the PII of gun owners and the creation of a firearms registry, which would be illegal. Not to mention immoral. There’s other instances of this around the country - this is just one example. Posted by: rickb223 at August 06, 2026 08:58 AM (rNQnT) 273

Posted by: Ignoramus at August 06, 2026 08:36 AM (dtajH) I'm praying with you.

So they vote on the basis of "which political brand makes me feel better about myself?" as opposed to any reflection of consequence.

Trump has spent the best part of a decade showing the electorate exactly what and who the Democrat Party is and what they've done.

Good Morning, all, and thank you, J.J.
So much is the Governors' & AWFL's fault here in PA. (And they're all so very well heeled!) But if I must live even briefly under communism, I hope it's long enough for them to come to deeply understand the differences between tyranny vs reformation, and that unchecked hostility increases the risk of societal fracture & political violence. But, a brief break to more pleasant & interesting thoughts and articles of today. I had come down to believing we're rather stuck without our friends, the Israelis, in a continual active role. VDH's article does put the Iranian situation in a better perspective. And, also from above, "thank goodness for the A-Bomb that ended World War Two 81 years ago today. Nod of thanks to an uncle who worked as a tool and die maker for Enrico Fermi!" That's amazing, and a great history lesson. Thanks, again.

---------- It's also an ideology. One that dovetails nicely with the left's ideology as a whole. The adherents are very passionate about their ideology... to the point of killing you if you don't join. I'd love to know how this is going to work out between the Islamists and the Socialists/Communists. They seem to have somewhat "divergent" ideals.

Both bad. But when I had to spend my 2 years of imprisonment in NJ (sorry NJ peeps), I was stunned at the homes that were not updated. Like ever. It was crazy to me. And not like cool mid mod time capsules, either. We immediately redid the kitchen in the house we ended up buying because eeek.

I’ve never renovated homes. Never lived in one long enough for things to be out of date. House I’m in now was a full remodel by the previous owners.
My parents did a renovation in the home I grew up in. Kitchen and bathrooms and floors iirc. it was a real PIA and much fighting between them during the process.

In Michigan’s primary elections, voters must choose to vote in only the Democratic or Republican primary. If a voter chooses candidates from both parties, their ballot becomes invalid."

Had a lovely day at the 4H Fair. I was there for a booth. Some highlights: Little kids eating cotton candy with green shirts which said "Camp WOW" which for some reason made me laugh, a dear man dressed as Uncle Sam with a big sign saying". Pray 4 our troops" ( I told him I would come visit his church some Sunday night), a very beautiful woman ( she was representing some energy company. ) and we prayed together, and a nice talk with a guy at the Gideons Booth.
I have to go back on another day, but I will leave earlier to go look at the animals from the 4H 'ers.

Posting the Ventures instrumental music was very nice. I had Alexa play “Surfer Joe” for my grandson, and the grandson was not amused. That early 60s song doesn’t make the oldies list.

So today is a short one at work. I'm leaving in three hours to go to the orthopedist to have my knee evaluated.
Quick summary: Took a bad spill at work a year ago and landed on my knee. Follow up exams revealed that courtesy of the Marine Corps, I had very little cartilage remaining. I was on a series of injections of hyaluronic acid to cushion things and help me walk normally. It isn't helping so today we're going to see what my alternatives are.

Hadrian, I gotta tell you, I enjoyed the dog show we went to last weekend. The dogs were quiet and well-behaved, as were the few children there. The canines were beautiful and impressive -- especially the Schipperkes and the miniature collies or Shetland sheepdogs. Though I saw at least one or two very handsome German shepherds.
More, the owners and handlers were well-dressed, and generally were more attractive than cat show people (and the populace at large too). Has that been your experience at shows too? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 06, 2026 06:12 AM (wzUl9) 60

I gotta tell you, I enjoyed the dog show we went to last weekend. Yes, for an ordinary member of the public, dog shows can be a fun experience (far, far less so if you're competing). The dogs are almost all well-socialized, quiet and tuned to their handlers. There's still something of a dress code for the two-legged competitors and judges. My own stewards club requires me to dress well. You can go back to show photos from 80 years ago and still see men in coat and tie and women in dresses. All are "sensible" and it's rare to see anyone flamboyantly dressed. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at August 06, 2026 06:27 AM (O0L8i) 64

Wikipedia
The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets. On 6 August 1945, during the final stages of World War II, it became the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb in warfare. When it came to selecting a name for the plane, Tibbets later recalled that: ... my thoughts turned at this point to my courageous red-haired mother, whose quiet confidence had been a source of strength to me since boyhood, and particularly during the soul-searching period when I decided to give up a medical career to become a military pilot. At a time when Dad had thought I had lost my marbles, she had taken my side and said, "I know you will be all right, son." Posted by: m at August 06, 2026 06:41 AM (odBC9) 77

There's still something of a dress code for the two-legged competitors and judges. My own stewards club requires me to dress well. You can go back to show photos from 80 years ago and still see men in coat and tie and women in dresses. All are "sensible" and it's rare to see anyone flamboyantly dressed.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at August 06, 2026 *** "Dress code" for cat show people, at least the owners and breeders, seems to be "Bart Simpson chic," i.e., T-shirt and shorts. The judges, men and women, seem to dress like adults should in public. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 06, 2026 06:46 AM (wzUl9) 81

Great. Amazon's "Content Library" now:
a) Shows Kindle books, but no longer allows you to click on "Docs" or "Documents" to see the separate category of documents that you yourself personally uploaded to your kindle via their "Send to Kindle" page. The documents are still there on your Kindle, but you can't easily manage this type of documents on Amazon's web interface anymore. I'm betting there's still a list you can get to, IF ONLY THEY HADN'T TAKEN AWAY THE BUTTON. b) Doesn't show you a list of links at the bottom to allow you to jump forward many pages in your list of books or documents and zero in on the page you want. Nope, now it's just scroll down and find the "Load more titles..." button and click that for another appended page. This works if you only have one to ten pages, but for those who have an extensive library with hundreds of pages... Not so much. FFS, come on. More enshittification and "fresh new UI design". Idjits.

I noticed renaming also for manic depression: Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mental health disorder that causes strong mood swings. Cleveland Clinic says Alcohol use disorder (sometimes called alcoholism) is a common medical condition. In this disorder, people can’t stop drinking, even when drinking affects their health, puts their safety at risk and damages their personal relationships.

It's nice to think that GLP-1s might be useful in treating alcoholism, the way Antabuse was (and maybe still is). But both require the alcoholic to take them on a regular basis. For me, it took a lifestyle and attitude change to do the trick -- much as a diet to lose weight requires you to change your eating habits and attitude toward food. If you don't change those, as soon as you go off the diet, and I presume off the treatment pills, you'll go back to the old way of life.

Read about the firebombing of Tokyo. That was far closer to a war crime than atomic bombs that ended the war.
One alternative was blockade and starvation. So, yeah, tell me how awful ending the war was. But I don't need to preach it here. Carry on my fellow Morons. Posted by: Enola Gay Pride at August 06, 2026 07:17 AM (983Km) 98
"One alternative was blockade and starvation."
If they didn't think the Soviets would invade the home islands, they probably would have gone that route. Yeah, there's getting the job done, but the juice needs to be worth the squeeze. ~1M casualties (if I remember the casualty estimates correctly; 50K just to get the southern third of Kyushu) is a lot of squeeze.

Posted by: juicer at August 06, 2026 01:27 PM (00k8W) Wednesday Night ONT - August 5, 2026 [TRex] Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked. We're overstocked on RC Cola at the moment though so don't be shy about asking for refills. Only the best for the Horde... Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. [Top photo: State Capitol, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania]![]() A dog was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic in Australia after eating 2.4 pounds of gummy worms. Animal Emergency Service Jindalee said 3-year-old beagle Scooter was brought in by her panicked owners after consuming an entire bag of gummy worms - known in Australia as "jelly snakes." Veterinary nurse manager Kate Wesche said the candies luckily did not contain xylitol, a chemical that can be toxic to dogs, but veterinarians made the decision to induce vomiting anyway due to concerns about the high sugar content. Scooter ended up regurgitating 2.4 pounds of gummy worms. Wesche told 1News Scooter had "clearly no regrets in her decision."Please secure your gummy worms. There is a photo at the link if you're really, really curious to see the dog...and the aftermath. For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, too. His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most - not the nutritional value of the food. The premise held up: On his "convenience store diet," he shed 27 pounds in two months. For a class project, Haub limited himself to less than 1,800 calories a day. A man of Haub's pre-dieting size usually consumes about 2,600 calories daily. So he followed a basic principle of weight loss: He consumed significantly fewer calories than he burned. But you might expect other indicators of health would have suffered. Not so. Haub's "bad" cholesterol, or LDL, dropped 20 percent and his "good" cholesterol, or HDL, increased by 20 percent. He reduced the level of triglycerides, which are a form of fat, by 39 percent.Science! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be promptly be ignored on grounds of Fifth Amendment privilege.

There’s an excellent book - “UFOs and Nukes” by Robert Hastings, that I would consider well sourced and documented. “They” definitely interfered with missile silos, if the accounts can be believed.

There is nothing to compare to standing on the actual battleground. I visited Fredericksburg, and I can tell all of you that the Union general who ordered the attack on the wall was a total idiot.

I heard about some professor eating mainly junk food to prove weight loss is just about calories probably 15 years ago. But a whole lot of normal people will not get satiated eating only junk food with very little protein and don't have an iron will to ignore cravings induced by such a diet. So normal people have an easier time with weight loss with almost any other strategy. Its probably easier to fast for 36-48 hours 1x or 2x a week than to eat only 1800 calories of twinkies and corn chips every day.

General Relativity famously allows time travel in the most general case. Godel famously proved that with what is now known as the Godel metric. It required a rotating universe with a *negative* cosmological constant. He intuitively saw the field equations allowed for this. Einstein said "Bullshit, Kurt!". Godel said, "I'll prove it." He did. When Godel said he could prove something, well look out. The only problem with that is it leads to contradictions, Grandfather paradox the most famous one. Hawking proposed the "Chronology Protection Conjecture" which is a hypothesis that other laws of physics prevent such solutions from ever being possible. That remains unproven.

I'd have to say that June 1966, when school let out, to September of '67 when ninth grade began, was probably the happiest part of my youth. School was easy, I had good-looking girls in each of my classes (except phys ed, of course), spy shows were still all the rage, I kept up with current events and pop culture by watching Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin on Friday nights (and some school nights too when I could get away with it). Trek began that fall, but I wasn't into it yet; I preferred U.N.C.L.E. (which unfortunately was in its silly, campy season) and Mission: Impossible. Rex Stout's Wolfe stories were my favorites, until I discovered Ellery Queen that summer of '67.

117 I heard about some professor eating mainly junk food to prove weight loss is just about calories probably 15 years ago. But a whole lot of normal people will not get satiated eating only junk food with very little protein and don't have an iron will to ignore cravings induced by such a diet. So normal people have an easier time with weight loss with almost any other strategy. Its probably easier to fast for 36-48 hours 1x or 2x a week than to eat only 1800 calories of twinkies and corn chips every day.

The Grandfather Paradox of time travel is the classic logical inconsistency: if I exist, I cannot exist, and if I don't exist, then I must exist. How can the universe tolerate such a thing? Logic break downs. But there is another little trick. Suppose we say, never kill your grandfather or do anything that will result in such a paradox. You can still have something very strange, a causal loop, a simple example is turning the Grandfather Paradox on its head. Rather than killing my grandfather, I go back in time and save my grandfather. Suppose I pop out in the past and notice my grandfather is about to be killed, and I act to save him. I am now my own cause. I exist because I exist. This is a casual loop. A spacetime that allows such is dubbed acausal. Anything can happen. Matter/energy can exist in such loops "in the future" and can't be predicted from the initial conditions. Causality still breaks down.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories. Posted by: r hennigantx at August 05, 2026 11:24 PM (/+uur) 215

Our feral cats needed a routine. We couldn't give them free reign of the dry food because they would gobble that shit, drink a bunch of water, and then the kibble shit would swell in their gut and they'd be puking all over the place. We had to ease them into the dry kibble with a half a can of wet shit so they wouldn't gobble and puff up. Of course, they were always begging for treats (no gummies).
Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at August 05, 2026 11:23 PM (iySPJ) Cats prefer to get their water from food, the wet food is good for them. I have two cats that are 17 years old, and I credit that in part to them getting a quarter of a can of wet food in the evening, and an eighth of a can in the morning. The other cats of that cadre are gone, now, one to cancer and one to an owl, but the wet food helps stretch their lives out I think. Posted by: Kindltot at August 05, 2026 11:29 PM (rbvCR) 226

134 General Relativity famously allows time travel in the most general case. Godel famously proved that with what is now known as the Godel metric. It required a rotating universe with a *negative* cosmological constant.
He intuitively saw the field equations allowed for this. Einstein said "Bullshit, Kurt!". Godel said, "I'll prove it." He did. When Godel said he could prove something, well look out. The only problem with that is it leads to contradictions, Grandfather paradox the most famous one. Hawking proposed the "Chronology Protection Conjecture" which is a hypothesis that other laws of physics prevent such solutions from ever being possible. That remains unproven. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 10:52 PM (w6EFb) Larry Niven pretty much put the kibosh on time travel nonsense for the masses back in 1973... Plus, no one ever seems to address the issue that it's a time-space continuum, which means that one must not only set a temporal destination, but then must also find the exact physical location of the temporal destination one wishes to travel to, which without a Universal reference and a spaceship is impossible.

have you ever seen a detailed illustration of each unit's positioning and involvement on Day One?
Actually, yes. Well, "detailed" might be too far. But, they used to have a fantastic sandmap (probably 8-10 feet across) setup at the visitor's center there, with a recorded narration, a clock on the wall, and little lights that lit up when they spoke about that particular unit. It was about a half hour, IIRC. Then it would loop and start over. They redid the visitor's center a few decades ago, and I don't recall if that feature made it back or not.

Posted by: Kindltot at August 05, 2026 11:25 PM (rbvCR) There is also a dispute going on; farmers and ranchers in the Weiser ID (and across the Snake River in Oregon) area squaring up with firefighters, telling them not to burn the grass, that would create fire breaks, which feeds their stock. The Tartar fire is mostly burning grassland. The Idaho firefighters were told to stand. The situation may have changed since I looked, but folks 'round here are a wee bit truculent.

I see some eclipse path maps trying to use Mercator (probable web Mercator). They shouldn't even bother, and just stick with globe or more suitable polar projections.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 06, 2026 12:39 AM (w6EFb) According to the NASA globe dealie, I might see a 20% eclipse. Got three more sheets of roofing tin hung on the shop wall today. I am about run out of suitable screws. And I now have to re-shuffle stuff in the shop, like the hoist, to gain access to the next section of wall to be clad. I rejiggered my hoist so the jib boom with the pulley now sticks straight out in front of me as I stand on the stairs. I can now better see what I am doing, but I am forced to use a 2 foot long extension on my screw gun to drive the screws. But it seems to go a little faster this way, and I can put some good muscle into the screw gun without inducing a sideways wobble on the stairway. Anyhow, going to get an early one. I want to get on the road for Red Deer at 0700 to get to the passport office to do a renewal. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 06, 2026 12:51 AM (1z8ji) 297

Aug 12th is the peak of the Perseid shower. It will be new Moon, and also a solar eclipse. We won't see shit, the path will be far north, and then dip down over Spain. This will be the first total eclipse visible in the Spanish mainland since 1905. And then they'll get another one next year.
And, Jupiter, just coming off solar conjunction will just be visible before sunrise, and you'll get Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn all in the morning sky.

I've always had bad look with meteor showers, too. The only time I see any is when I'm not looking for 'em. And we'll get a partial lunar eclipse visible here over most of the US (it's centered over South America this time -- look at some of the map projections and you'll see it) Here around Simpsonville, SC, I'll see about 93%.

And there's a codefendant, for real:
A 20 year old West Virginia University student entered not guilty pleas in Monongalia County Magistrate Court and was released on a $15,000 personal recognizance bond. He is accused of acting as an accomplice in the vandalism of automated license plate reader cameras. Investigators state a Flock Safety camera was cut down and removed near Chestnut Ridge Road and Suburban Court in Morgantown on or about June 26, 2026. One felony count of damage, destruction, or theft of equipment used by emergency responders, and one felony count of conspiracy. This co-defendant was linked to the case via co-defendant Wesley Jackson, 20, who was arrested previously in July 2026 in connection with the same targeted camera destructions. He is represented by Rosnick Law, which emphasized his presumption of innocence and noted that the case touches on wider privacy debates surrounding automated public surveillance.

On average, the Perseids have a average "peak zenithal hourly rate" (ZHR) of about 50 - 75 per hour. That's sort of an optimum based on clear dark skies, and if the radiant were directly overheard. You can look ZHR up if interested and how to calculate the real hourly rate from that. So, theoretically, it's a pretty nice shower, with around 1 per minute expected at the ideal.

Probably one of the most intense meteor storms of all time was the 1833 Leonid storm (note "storm" rather than shower). Maybe 28 meteors per second. Peak thought the world was ending at the time. Read the accounts, and there are some famous paintings. That led to the formation of meteor science, and their true understanding as coming from space. Before that, they didn't really know, although Halley and some others of his day, calculated they had to be pretty high up in the air, and he suspected they were from space, but the idea of little space rocks wasn't known.

Halley himself didn't spell it consistently. He wasn't even consistent with his first name, sometimes Edmund, sometimes Edmond. At the time, Hailey, Haley, Haly, Hawley, Hawly, were used.

Blind Camera by @dtpisanty is an AI powered device that generates pictures from sound instead of light while preserving the experience of using a point-and-shoot camera. The horn is aimed at a sound, and with the push of a button, it's converted into an image. Images are therefore framed with ears instead of eyes since the camera can hear but cannot see. The resulting 'photo' is indexical of the surrounding soundscape and not of the scene in front of the camera. ...

THis is interesting. Up until the early 1800s, Western science largely rejected meteorites as being anything other than superstition and tall tales. That is, actual rocks falling from the sky. Around 1794, a German scientist published an analysis of some of the supposed meteorites, showing their composition was quite different from earth rocks. The rejected that as just crazy talk. In 1803, there were a bunch of meteorites that fell in some French town, and they sent Jean-Baptiste Biot to investigate (He's the Biot in the Biot-Savart Law). He conclusively proved the rocks fell from the sky and probably from outer space. The science is never settled. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 06, 2026 03:15 AM (w6EFb) 356

It went all the way back to Aristotle, who argued that meteors were due to combustible vapors drawn up from the earth by the sun's heat. And that view sort of persisted up until 1803. They thought the "vapors" were of volcanic origin and such maybe, and if any actual stones fell, it was again due to volcanos throwing them up.

A social media influencer in Mexico was shot dead Tuesday night while streaming live on the site Kick, with viewers watching the event in real time, authorities said.
Cesar Gastelum, 25, was livestreaming outside a KFC in Culiacan, the capital city of Sinaloa state, around 8 p.m. local time when he was attacked. He was accompanied by two friends and dressed as a food delivery worker as part of a challenge. Gastelum, who had nearly 600,000 followers on TikTok and was known for making comedy videos, was approached by two individuals riding a motorcycle, both wearing helmets. According to a clip from the livestream, the rider appeared to shoot a gun right at Gastelum --- Apparently that's why he's dead. -Orwell's essay on not using dumb words/fouling the language with wasteful words is an easy read.

Bers, what browser are you using? If this is not on a phone, just get the Ublock Lite extension and it will block it all.

I also verified that turning off javascript on the damned Chrome for Android for this site worked as well, although embedding videos and that sort of stuff wouldn't work either. The Edge browser for Android does have AdBlock in there somehow, don't remember if I had to install that or what, but it also blocked all this stuff. So, I'm basically just using Edge on the phone now for everything. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 06, 2026 03:33 AM (w6EFb) 372

Something I've noticed with Chrome and the others with Ublock running is that CPU will often spike after loading and reloading the comments page here. Sometimes for a long time. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that's some of the ad stuff trying to run. I don't see it, but the way a lot of this works is it just hides it, but it still runs.

If your computer is in working order you can put what you want to keep on an external HD and load it with Mint. It is very light and is much like Win 7, the learning curve for casual usage is minimal. (next to nill) It comes with common packages pre-loaded.
Most of the folks here installed it themselves. Putz here, paid $40 to have it installed. You will now have a 'like brand new' used computer. If you decide to buy new one's, well, you'll have a backup. Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at August 06, 2026 04:11 AM (nqf1u) 386

On the comments font on my browser, 0 and o look the same. The composition box, apparently, is a different font, because the zero is tall (but not as fat as capital O).

Re the big moon impact of that Falcon 9 2nd stage last night. It happened as predicted, but nobody, even the professionals were able to see anything, not even reflected light from a dust plume. The Very Large Telescope down there in Chile was looking, and the spectrographs saw the chemical signature of sodium and lithium kicked up. So it it hit and did kick up some ejecta. A couple of other observatories saw the same spectral signatures as well. So, it happened, but absolute nothingburger as far as anything to see.

Posted by: Piper at August 05, 2026 08:00 PM (ZdaMQ) ___________________ Hey, Piper. I have a fashion note for you. Chivalry of holding a door for a woman. Lot's of people like to attribute this to Medieval knights allowing women to go first on the off chance that an enemy is on the other side. That is nothing but myth and hogwash. The true reason the chivalrous act of holding a door for a woman occurred was due to the fashion during Medieval times and pragmatism. Heavy, restrictive hoop skirts and large dresses made it physically difficult for women to reach door latches or navigate entryways unassisted, prompting men to step in as a matter of functional help and social custom. So, essentially, thanks to Medieval hoop skirts, feminists give me the side eye when I hold the door for them. The irony being that such feminists are unaware that it was the result of stupid outerwear choices of women in 500-1500 AD.

FOIA requests for documents must be specific. You need to specify exactly what you are looking for by proper name, misspellings, even obvious ones, will not be honored. If you put in a FOIA request for documents related to a case named Oxford Comma and actual name of the investigation is Oxferd C0mma, you will be told there are no documents response to your request. And that's exactly what happened. Posted by: JackStraw at August 05, 2026 08:18 PM (viF8m) 63

When Mueller was the FBI Director, he changed the promotion procedure and structure of the FBI and it stayed that way through Comey. Basically, it promoted loyalty to the leadership and centralized power in the DC office. If you look at all the shit run against Trump it was pretty much the same people over and over. More evil than idiots. The name Oxford Comma was an homage to Comey, he was known as a fan of the Oxford Comma at the FBI. Ok, evil fags. Posted by: JackStraw at August 05, 2026 08:53 PM (viF8m) 118

one of the blackly humorous things coming out about Covid was that Dr Scott Atlas claims that Dr Birx was completely in over her head, and was pulling random crap and data off the internet without understanding what it was about, building pie charts around it, and presenting it as support for her proposals to be adopted immediately without discussion.

Only have 5 films, time to acquire, The Sorcerer, 52 Pickup and a couple more. Posted by: Thomas Bender at August 05, 2026 10:02 PM (XV/Pl) Quick HitsA sports writer who choked out his own wife is attacking Sophie Cunningham for caring about women's safety -- he's not a fan of women's safety -- and decides it's also "anti-black" to look out for girls in girls sports. This has nothing to do with race, obviously, except that Sophie Cunningham is white and black racists will take any opportunity to spit racial hatred at whites while complaining about all the racisms in society.Writer arrested for allegedly beating wife calls Sophie Cunningham 'anti-trans, anti-black' in wild op-edThe left keeps saying they refuse to condemn terrorism or communism because they reject "cancel culture." Bernie Sanders just said this about Hasan Piker's statement that "America deserved 9/11" -- he said we have to "get over this cancel culture." Um, not in politics. In politics, your words are your policies. Bernie Sanders just doesn't want to take a position on whether America deserved 9/11. We do "cancel" people in politics for their words. We shouldn't cancel truck drivers or pizza restaurant owners for their politics -- but we sure as shit should "cancel" political candidates for their politics. It's called "holding elections." It's the whole fucking point of elections. But of course the left doesn't want to end cancel culture at all. They love it. They just want to make it okay for Democrat Socialists to call for terrorism and murder. For example, an actor just got cancelled from a Broadway show for saying he thinks that girls sports should be reserved to girls. As Lenin said, the important questions are always "Who? Whom?" You decide whether something is permissible based upon who is doing it, and to whom. Anchor baby Francesca Hong: Despite my previous claim that Thanksgiving should have been cancelled starting in 1621, I see now that I'm in a general election, so I'll claim that Thanksgiving, which I've repeatedly stated is a horror for people in "many communities," is my "favorite holiday."

It seems like she hates anybody having a good time when she believes everybody should be as depressed about the country and world as she is.

Reports in August 2026 indicate that the IRGC has carried out strikes against Iranian Kurdish militant groups located in/operating from Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, rather than “Kurds attacking the IRGC” as the primary description. For example, an August 2026 analysis notes that the IRGC “intensified its operations against Kurdish positions,” including drone strikes targeting Kurdish militant groups. _thesoufancenter.org Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at August 05, 2026 07:26 PM (nqf1u) 101

"A sports writer who choked out his own wife..."
A significant number of people who've experienced the violence of being choked (w/o consent) are/were in intimate relationships. That's one sure sign the violence is escalating. He's a mentally ill, a dangerous man, even beyond his own wife, and an influencer. How he just seethes over a white, straight, female athlete is horrifying but did you know his wife, Veronica, is also white? Be that as it may be, Sophie Cunningham needs good security & fulltime protection. (Think Charlie Kirk) Veronica still needs to get help, too. --- >ESPN Writer Howard Bryant Charged with Domestic Assault, 2019 ESPN writer Howard Bryant was arrested was arrested for assaulting his estranged wife AND striking a police officer, the Huffington Post reports. His lawyer has promptly played the race card. "If Howard Bryant was Caucasian and was on the streets having exactly the same conversation with his wife -- nobody would have even noticed," Buzz Eisenberg, Howard Bryant's lawyer told the Boston Herald. "Race still plays a part in our society and we intend to contest these allegations completely," Eisenberg said." Yada, yada.

The book was called Trust Me, Bro. Okay that's a lie. The truth is, there was no book. No such book exists. Allegedly, he did propose a book to a publisher... but he never wrote it and never published anything.Nevertheless, on his website and official bios, he claims the book was actually published and is a real thing that exists. He also entered the fake book's title in the university's research system so that if you looked it up, you would see that Trust Me, Bro -- or whatever -- exists. But it doesn't. It was always yet another fiction in his fictional life. Must be that autism acting up again. I mean... it's just hilarious. It's just one lie after another, and literally no one had the guts to ask him about any of these lies because they feared he'd call them a racist. Which he did in fact do. In fact, he complained to the police about racists asking him questions. The revelation raised questions over Prof Arday's employment at the University of Cambridge. To apply for a professorship at Cambridge, applicants need to submit an extensive portfolio of work, which includes a complete bibliography of essays, journals and book chapters. Jesus College, where Prof Arday was a fellow, had also said it was investigating him, adding that it was "a very difficult time for him and his family". Announcing his resignation on the Good Law Project's website, Prof Arday said: "While criticism is an inevitable part of academic life, what I have experienced has gone far beyond scholarly disagreement. The relentless accusations, speculation and public commentary have taken a profound toll on me and on those I love." He added: "This decision should not be interpreted as a loss of faith in scholarship or in the values that first brought me to Cambridge. Nor should it be mistaken for an acceptance of the narratives that have surrounded me. It is simply the decision of someone who has reached the limits of what any person should reasonably be expected to endure." The Telegraph revealed last month that Prof Arday had been accused of plagiarism after analysis of his PhD thesis showed more than 180 separate passages were identical or near-identical to another student's thesis. In recent days, Prof Arday has put his apparent plagiarism down to autism, saying he absorbs information through mimicry. He has faced questions over other claims. Last week he admitted that a story about him running 600 miles in six days for charity was wrong, saying that it had taken 12 days. He also accepted that he did not raise £5.5m for charity alone -- as he had said in the past -- but had instead been part of a syndicate of about 100 people, none of whom he could name because of non-disclosure agreements.Have I ever told you about my super-hot model girlfriend? You wouldn't know her, she goes to school in Canada. I can't say where because of the NDA I have with her. I co-wrote a book with.... my wife, Morgan Fairchild! Yeah, that's the ticket! This guy compiles what he says are the Perfesser's many, many lies. Smirkley Now the only thing that could possibly make this story any funnier is if he did not even bother to write his resignation letter, but instead cheated and used AI to draft a resignation letter. But what are the chances of that?!?!
Most of them are mid-wits, at best. Arday is, it appears, an Olympic-grade fantasist. Indeed, the only surprise is Jason has not yet claimed to have won an Olympic gold medal in gymnastics, quite possibly, such are his skills in contortion and backward flips. Despite claims that he is the target of a "smear campaign by Right-wing newspapers", the plagiarism allegations against him have been extensively and convincingly documented. If he had stuck to ripping off entire passages from the dissertation of a female research student, he might well have got away with it. But Jason, born to immigrant parents on a council estate in south London, diagnosed with autism and who claims he was non-verbal until the age of 11 and couldn't read or write until he was 18, decided to branch out into what I can only call experimental fiction. It is easy to imagine the magical-realism novel based on a list of his alleged achievements -- you could call the yarn Jason and the Golden Fleeced. Take, for example, his claim to have run 30 marathons in 35 days, partly with a broken leg, to raise money for "charity". Arday claims he had an epileptic seizure on the 20th day, causing a hairline fracture in his fibula. In his forthcoming memoir, Great and Unfortunate Things, soon to be published by a (surely panic-stricken) Simon & Schuster, he describes the fracture causing his leg to swell to twice its normal size. Nonetheless, our plucky hero says he completed his feat of endurance running. There was also the small matter of him running 600 miles in six days and then 300 miles in three days too. Experts in ultra-distance running have unsurprisingly cast doubt on these claims, pointing out that such achievements would mean Arday ranked among the world's top athletes. But why did no one query this before now? What's wrong with the people who allowed Arday to rise as he did, unchecked by reality? His alleged endurance exploits alone are beyond improbable. How can Cambridge dons, and other senior academics in universities across the country, supposedly some of the most brilliant minds on the planet, have nodded along as Jason told them even more -- perhaps about his supposed appearance on the TV show Seven Up, decades before he was born? If Prof Arday had told such stories on a building site or a factory floor, the response would have been immediate and brutal: "Come off it, you lying toerag. Pull the other one!" There is no one quite as stupid as an intellectual. A friend who taught at Cambridge before fleeing for the relative sanity of a Swiss professorship blames the Arday scandal on "a weak, woke administrative class" who have bought into the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) cult. "The disease began," he says, "when the colleges started to hire so-called senior tutors, many of whom are failed academics on an ideological mission to change the ethnic make-up of the Cambridge faculty. Their loyalty is with Left-wing politicians. Most academics are naïve, cowardly, sentimental, indifferent or gullible, so they just go along with it. It's a disaster."Don't feel bad for this hustler: He gamed the system like a good little foreign grifter and even called the police to complain about a journalist asking questions. His mindthoughts and soulpatterns are next-level you guys. But when Grove emailed Arday in the summer of 2025 to give him a formal right of reply to his investigation, the response was stern. In September 2025, Times Higher Education received a letter from top law firm Carter-Ruck, which prompted them to pull their exposé (how Arday could afford such expensive lawyers is a mystery). Then, in November 2025, the Metropolitan Police were contacted. It was claimed the reporter was "harassing" Arday, although Grove had never tried to call him or approach him or his family in person. Two months later, in January of this year, Arday submitted a formal, 24-page complaint to Times Higher Education's chief executive. The dreamy savant was apparently playing hardball to protect his position. In early February, Grove received a call from The Met, which explained it had investigated the complaint made against him but closed the case. "It was the first I knew about it," says Grove. He was badly shaken.Prosecute him for the false police report. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

This combo of lies and claims and obfuscations suggests "psychopathic personality." Until now he's been more successful in life than a lot of the PPs -- but part of his success is due to the sickness in the university and the society outside it. Everybody is scared to question a black man about his claims. Without that -- if anybody had done any real vetting -- he'd have never gotten a Ph.D.
Sounds kinda like a fellow I heard about who was born (?) in Hawaii, went to school in the U.S. but there's no record of him doing anything there, and rose to prominence because nobody dared to question his claims.

When I was working at a certain private university, as office manager I helped coordinate the "search" each winter for new faculty members. It seemed invariable that of the three or four the committee invited to come to campus, the supposed "top" candidates, over 50% were foreign and would require sponsorship and an H1-B visa. And those fees were not cheap.
The same thing happened with visiting or adjunct professors who would only be around for one year. At least we'd get several years of work out of the tenure-track people -- maybe more if they got tenure and didn't get lured away by another university. I thought it was insane to spend the fees when there were *plenty* of U.S.-born applicants who were at least good enough to be considered.

All of this started in the early '80s, when serious students began to realize there was no future in Academia, unless one was a member of a preferred, "marginalized" demographic. That's also when dissertations of questionable scholarly rigor began to be accepted and proliferate. No one had the balls to say, "I'm sorry, but something conjured up between bong hits on during your freshman dorm rap sessions is not worthy of a Ph.D.

I sadly missed last thread:
Michigans (Democratic voting) base turning out for Abdul despite the racism/Islamophobic attacks really shows that people are interested in policies that will help the working class instead of whatever Haley Stevens was offering it should be a real warning that those same poles also showed him losing to Rogers. hopefully this campaign and supporters can move their sights on the election in November. I hope he's able to get party support now that he has the nomination. Scholten already said she wouldn't support him if he wins the nom. Do centrist dems want Al Sayed to lose in November? Can’t wait for the GOP attack ads to hammer him for being Muslim. He needs to counter with "at least I'm not an evangelical Christian nationalist piece of shit" ads. He has to go hard to win. The establishment painting Abdul as some radical communist really shows how far towards the right they’ve allowed themselves to be pulled. In a different time he would be considered a new deal dem, not some communist outsider. His policies used to be the one page platform of the Democratic Party.

Also, 30% can have crippling mental illnesses that severely impaired their ability to provide for themselves and require life-long batteries of medicine and counseling. Otherwise they'll die, and that wouldn't be selected against either. Posted by: Admiral Ackbar at August 05, 2026 06:35 PM (/y3Vc) 241

El-Sayed, a Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel, is the projected winner in his race with the Socialist," he posted on Truth Social. "As usual, the Polls were way off on this one. She was not expected to do nearly as well as she did. Now, the Dumocrats crazy policies will only get worse!" Rogers, for his part, has seized on El-Sayed's win, saying it made the race a choice between "common sense" and "complete insanity."

I think we have two shots are turning this around
1. The more power the muslims get, the more bold they are about stating their actual intention. They crave dominance and many of them can not hide what they want to do to the West once they have it. 2. We really need to make them feel "humiliated and inferior." We need to call them slaves to a dead pedo, and laugh and ridicule them telling them to get on their knees, slave. Make everyone understand the being a muslim means submitting to a conquering gang of slaves, and is antithetical to the West or any free people.

Dr. Allahu Akbar squeaked out a win by 16,000-ish votes; if McMorrow hadn't split the now centrist lunatic left vote Stevens would have won thus blunting the communist DSA's momentum. I take this to mean there is nearly zero chance Dr. Allahu Akbar is going to pick up enough of the Stevens/McMorrow vote to beat Rogers, the Republican, in the general election.

The ACW started in part, because the South was losing by leaps and bounds demographically by 1860 and Lincoln got elected to stop the spread of slavery to the West which pretty much set in motion the fireeater Southern Democrats to figure the time had come or bust. And they used Dred Scott as justification.
Had trends continued by 1870 and slavery spread been contained, the South planter aristocracy would have imploded from the costs of it. Cotton depleted the soil too quickly and slaves were not an economical workforce for upland crops like wheat, etc. Cotton farming had so ruined the soil of East Coast older Southern states that they made more selling their slaves to westbound planters or leaving themselves than farming. The attempts by the Democrats to get us into war with Russia failed, Iran is not a peer adversary, and China is too cautious, especially now. And shutting off illegals makes the Cloward Piven strategy shaky---summation that it looks like 1860 for the Dems. Posted by: whig at August 05, 2026 05:09 PM (E4rtv) 121

Kaylee McGhee White @KayleeDMcGhee · 4h Lifelong Michigander here, born and raised outside of Dearborn. I will tell you why Abdul El-Sayed will lose to Mike Rogers in November, because it’s actually very simple. It’s the same reason Haley Stevens won Rashida Tlaib’s district (which includes Dearborn), why MI-8 voters elected Thomas Smith, who had dropped out, over the Trump-endorsed Muslim alternative, and why Sri Thanedar lost to a black progressive in MI-13 despite being extremely progressive himself. It’s because Michiganders look at what is happening to parts of their state, thanks to the growing influence and spread of political Islam, and are appalled by it. People who haven’t been to metro-Detroit simply do not understand how bad things have gotten. But Michiganders know. And they’re not going to elect the guy who wants to make it worse. Clay Travis @ClayTravis 16h Mike Rogers is going to beat Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan senate race. For anyone who has spent any time in Michigan at all, El-Sayed is going to get destroyed in rural Michigan. Jewish voters aren’t going to support him in big numbers. And neither are black voters.

" The dems have screwed themselves so bad. Some of them might not vote republican but a lot are not going to vote at all.
This is so much fun to watch in real time." Living in a Colorado I never think like this anymore.

Commie boomer friends in Ann Arbor are firmly in the "anything is in play to stop Trump" camp.
I can see him winning. Posted by: 2009Refugee at August 05, 2026 04:56 PM (4HoLg) --- Ann Arbor is an open-air lunatic asylum. Rogers already carried Michigan once in 2024 but that was stolen by CIA Slotkin. They Dems knew they couldn't stop Trump's momentum, so they deleted Rogers votes to put CIA over the top. No way Trump voters split their ticket and jumped to Slotkin. This is going to be epic, because the top of the ticket is going to wreck all the down ballot races, and every Dem is going to be asked "Do you support Abdul Mohammed Deathtoamerica Jihadi?"

As has been pointed out in earlier posts Abdul lost to Stevens in Wayne County. Wayne County includes Detroit, Downriver( Rashida Tliabs enclave, and Dearborn. He lost in the most densely populated Muslim area of Michigan. I find that remarkable.
Also, in case you all missed it. Ann Arbor threw out their current mayor and elected a DSA member named Yousef Rabhi. Not unexpected but will see where this goes. Ann Arbor has been destroying itself in the name of the U of Michigan which is buying up property everywhere in the city and subsequently building high rises for student luxury housing. A lot of the small businesses that made Ann Arbor charming to visit are gone as rents have climbed beyond reason. Homeless and panhandlers everywhere, parking is impossible, and getting an apartment for under $3,000 a month is not achievable. I doubt Mr. DSA will do any of the improvements he's planning, but will only make things worse as he runs into the buzz saw of U/M. He will succeed in giving away $$$ and increasing the social justice boondoggles Ann Arbor has become famous for. Posted by: jen the original at August 05, 2026 05:40 PM (EiUt/) 182

DJT has truly broken the Dem Party. In half.
The militant half is dependent on billionaires who are hell-bent on government domination over the people of the United States. These folks are in the open now, because the Trump Administration has severely impacted the taxpayer funding apparatus which the Dem Party has used to win its political campaigns.

El-Sayed has a very good chance of winning in Michigan. The Repubs are going to play up the "he's a commie, he's against Israel" line. That's a selling feature to the Democrats. What it doesn't do is bring out the mushy middle voters who did come out for Trump two years ago because the Biden admin sucked so bad.
What the Repubs need to do is run against the Dem party, remind voters that the Dems want open borders, no deportations, release of criminals (no bail and no jail), shut down energy production that increases gas and heating costs, increase regulations on business that drives companies (and jobs) offshore and a few other things I'll probably think of later. But the Repubs don't do that. They'll just run ads to say "Oooh, this guy is bad!!!" and the middle voter will stay home because they don't remember why they were yelling "F@#k Joe Biden a few years back.

On the possibly malicious ads, if youre willing to wait until it goes away, it probably will; what appears to be happening is that a new set of ads has been rotated in by whatever adserver pays the gerbils, and they havent been properly vetted, or at all. It happens regularly, on this site and others.
The general advice is to switch to a browser that lets you turn off third-party scripts on a site-specific basis, or add a plug-in to your existing browser that does the same thing. I use StopTheScript on Safari. It does mean that legitimate third-party scripts also dont run, such as embedded tweets and embedded videos. There may be a setting to fix that, but I havent cared enough to look for it. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at August 05, 2026 03:44 PM (kYmoU) 56

From BING AI
The term "gunsel" has a rich history, originally meaning a young, inexperienced boy traveling with an older tramp. It likely derives from the Yiddish word "gendzl," meaning "gosling" or "young goose," reflecting someone still learning the ropes.

Note the courts have no rendered a judgement against the people that have claimed 9/11 was fake, or that the assassination of Kirk was by "da JOOs" or other arguments that are common in leftwing media
Which is how you know Jones was at least sneaking up on the truth. Everyone with eyes knows school shootings started as a Soros/Democrat tactic in the 90s to cause gun bans. It worked in the UK, it worked in Australia, it didn't work here. Posted by: Ian S. at August 05, 2026 04:02 PM (2ocoG) Posted by: Sifty Boones at August 05, 2026 04:02 PM (l7znr) 130
Gunsel cont.
In the early 20th century, "gunsel" gained a new connotation, particularly through Dashiell Hammett's novel "The Maltese Falcon," where it described a nervous, gun-carrying henchman. The term was popularized in Western fiction and has since evolved to include various meanings, including slang for a catamite or a young male kept as a sexual companion.

Manufacturing, importing, keeping for sale, giving or receiving a large-capacity magazine I thought there was no magazine capacity limit in federal law. Posted by: Mark1971 at August 05, 2026 03:34 PM (CNl8/) CA law. But possession alone isn't illegal, even today here in CA. Especially after the Freedom Week period a few years ago when transfer/purchase of standard capacity mags was legal in a short time between one of the Supreme Court decisions and subsequent injunction that shut it down again. Any gun parts company doing business on-line had their whole inventory sucked dry by CA gun owners that week. Plus, for years you could purchase magazine repair kits that were just disassembled mags.

Posted by: Common Tater at August 05, 2026 04:17 PM (UKUO1) ==== Trump has completely changed the immigration court system. He fired dozens of administrative judges that were granting asylum all the time and hired a bunch that say no to everything. The driver of massively increased deportation orders if from this change. It creates the large pool from which ICE has to operate, and local police have to identify illegals they meet in regular interactions.

It's the same thing Candace uses against Erika Kirk because she didn't look the right level of sad at any point since her husband was murdered.
Jones is also full-on with the Egyptian planes ignited the explosive microphone that definitely killed Charlie and Tyler Robinson was actually in Australia at the time. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at August 05, 2026 04:12 PM (vmxqS) If Erica had wept continually and put herself under medical care for grief, Owens would just say its obviously too much and fake, thus proving that she's in on it. Growing up with 3 sisters and 2 brothers I had a rich appreciation in the logistics of our family going anywhere, even out in the yard. I can't imagine why conspiracy theorists think adding more actors and more complications makes things more believable. I mean if the Jews or French wanted Kirk dead, they could have just killed him themselves without suborning the wife and inventing exploding mikes.

Posted by: Black Orchid at August 05, 2026 04:19 PM (j+aD2) ===== 1.5 million forced deportations in the last 12 months. Add in the first 4 months or so of Trump's second term, and it's probably about 1.7 million. Self-deportation ratio is probably on the higher end because Trump is emptying out entire communities of illegals, incentivizing the rest to leave, all while Treasury regulations are making it impossible for illegals to interact with the American financial system at all (while OBBB cut them off from benefits), and the spectacle leftists and the media have made of ICE murdering people. I suspect the number is over 6 million deported since Trump took office. On average, Biden let in between 3 and 5 million per year.

Whether or not this guy is trans (I would bet he is from the name, and the photo could be from before his ”transition” ) I am not surprised that a lot of trans people are angry. They have been lied to, told these painful surgeries and mind altering pills will “fix” them. They have not been “fixed”. But what I did not guess is that all that anger has been turned on the normies and on targets like Trump for not being supportive enough of their “transition”. I would have thought the anger would be unleashed on the charlatans in doctor’s whites who sold them this lie. You’d think they’d be angry at the “doctors,” not at the rest of us. I guess that takes too much rationality: if you are dumb enough to fall for the scam, you’re too dumb to know you’ve been scammed.

Candace Owens is insane, and not in the fun "talks to themselves" way, but clinically nuts and should be kept in a home for her own protection.

That being said, the judgment was unusually punitive and I would say, unconstitutional. It was meant to be confiscatory and deliberately take away all he had. That’s not how it works. I don’t care how ridiculous an offensive he was, that judgement completely lacked any protection of his constitutional rights. Posted by: Vengeance What you are arguing is proportionality but the problem here is that tort law is not restricted to actual damages but allows punitive damages so that it never occurs again. This is in lieu of criminalizing the acts themselves where Jones would instead go to prison and be heavily fined. And Scotus has been very reluctant to reign in states on tort litigation. Closest is BMW v. Gore where the actual damages were 50k (IIRC) but the punitive was near 100 million awarded out of Alabama. In this case, the ratios were less than that and Jones did not have enough to cover the damages awarded because each parent who was defamed could collect with punitive damages. So it was really more of a class of litigants rather than just one parent. Posted by: whig at August 05, 2026 04:33 PM (E4rtv) 287

Whether or not this guy is trans (I would bet he is from the name, and the photo could be from before his ”transition” ) I am not surprised that a lot of trans people are angry. They have been lied to, told these painful surgeries and mind altering pills will “fix” them. They have not been “fixed”. But what I did not guess is that all that anger has been turned on the normies and on targets like Trump for not being supportive enough of their “transition”. I would have thought the anger would be unleashed on the charlatans in doctor’s whites who sold them this lie. You’d think they’d be angry at the “doctors,” not at the rest of us. I guess that takes too much rationality: if you are dumb enough to fall for the scam, you’re too dumb to know you’ve been scammed.

What's the "magic dirt" meme? I'm sure no chatbot will tell me straight-up.
It's that America is successful because the land itself is magical. This has two predicates: 1) Successful white Americans didn't do anything to be successful, the dirt did it. Or as Obama put it "you didn't build that". 2) Anyone from anywhere in the world could be brought here and be the next Bezos or Musk. And that it's in fact a moral requirement to bring everyone from everywhere here. Posted by: Ian S. at August 05, 2026 04:35 PM (2ocoG) 294

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit ====== The ones that just claim trans are some of the worst because they are in fact people with oppositional disorder that do it because they get a kick out of being shitasses like perving. Having the full monty tends to actually destroy your health as a guy and ironically it turns out most of those like the Zizians and other auntiefags just pose rather than get surgically mutilated.

Posted by: Richard Aubrey at August 06, 2026 12:02 PM (ZGeYN) Pro-Men-In-Women's-Sports WNBA Coach: Boy It Makes Me Mad When Men Take Coaching Jobs from WomenWNBA coach Cheryl Reeve, who wore a shirt with the message "Trans Kids Belong" as an apparent troll of Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, previously called for a "Rooney Rule" in her organization to protect women's coaching jobs from being taken over by men. In an interview on the podcast Good Game with Sarah Spain, Reeve openly expressed fear about men taking women's jobs in coaching positions. "We had more women coaching college basketball before Title IX. After Title IX, when it became more important and more investment -- that was code for, 'well, that's a man's job.' You got paid more; it became a man's job," she said. "To this day, we still don't have more women coaching in college basketball than we do men. Apply that same thing to two years ago, we lost seven WNBA coaches, they got fired, because all of the sudden, this money, the WNBA blew up," she continued. "Valuations of franchises. In comes the NBA folks again, who had cast us aside for many years. Now, they want their franchises back. That sorta thing. It's more important again. And then we have more men." ... In response [to Sophie Cunningham], Reeve said that "every kid has a right to sports regardless of (being) gender diverse, transgender."

If I understand the position of the inclusive left correctly, a trans-woman (born a man then transitions) has no biological advantage over those born women. To look at it another way, those born women have no biological disadvantage when competing against men. If that is the case, why isn't the position of the inclusive left that there should be NO men's and women's sports but one sport where everyone competes equally?
Who can object if women, trans-women, trans-men and men all compete equally? No one is disadvantaged or advantaged, at least according to the reasoning of the inclusive left. Posted by: JB1000 at August 05, 2026 02:45 PM (L1m4m) 83
I decided that trans-ism is an extreme development in the theme of atheism.
Not simple atheism. Not the lack of a belief in God or gods. But the actual social ordering principle associated to "atheism". Many atheists are in flight from gravity of thinking. So it's so much easier if I just say you are who you claim to be--unless I don't like the particular category you transgressed. Because it's no big deal either way, right?! And "I am rational, because I like to think of myself as rational." If we just make up our mind about fewer things and kick more cans down the road, life will improve.

So the Sportscaster "woman" thinks its a joke that a high school team could beat a women's professional team? WTF is she doing as a sportscaster?
There is NO sport except for women's gymnastics and long distance cold water swimming where women have an advantage over men. It is well documented that men out perform women in sports. And well documented that high school aged boys routinely outperform college or pro female athletes in multiple sports. The fact that she claims to be completely unaware of this historical fact is nonsense. She is a liar or a total fraud who does not know her job.

They love it. We spent 40 years trying to "prove" the media was biased and after denying it by saying that's just "reality" and "news can't be biased because it's news" (yes that happened all the way up to Fox appearing). 40 years they denied it and 40 years you had websites like this and HA laying out treatises and scientific proofs. And then one day they basically just came out said of course we're leftards it's the only right and good thing to be, and fuck you for noticing, you queer pieces of shit. This is the same now.

If just ONE major college would field a "women's" basketball team of all biological males pretending to identify as women -- and ultimately skunked every women's team in a season and easily won the NCAA National Championship, it would put an end to the entire idiotic business.
Posted by: ShainS at August 05, 2026 02:31 PM (+n6Zq) It's already happened and it didn't quite put an end to it. A few years back a college team put something like three trans players on it in CA. They won some, about 2 colleges in the conference refuse to play them and forfeited, they threw some games to not look invincible IIRC and it all got a bit nasty but it was enough to push back at the initial invasion. I think now college sports does not support trans women players now. Posted by: Oldcat at August 05, 2026 03:24 PM (uhVAy) 244

The less naive a woman is the less leftist she is.
Young women are more leftist, like young people in general, because they haven’t learned to take everything a teacher, professor, or media celebrity tells them with a huge grain of salt. It seems a lot of women never grow out of it, especially if believing everything they’re being told benefits them personally. That’s why the cognitive dissonance is so strong with the trans issues, because their supporting men dressed as women in sports doesn’t benefit them personally, at all. It’s turning into a red pill moment for women. Posted by: SpeakingOf at August 05, 2026 03:30 PM (6ydKt) 261

If Atheists as a social movement wanted to think more, Robert Owen, the inventor of "socialism", would have done something more when he discovered that he can't just create a new society by putting people on a commune where nobody does any work and he just pays for everything.
And Marx would have done more than theorize "You know the problem? Owen made it voluntary!!" If we can just have a government to beat people into that shape, everybody having no more or no less than anybody else will give people "dignity" and solve all the problems so we'd never need government again" And "religion is the opiate of the people" because--geeez! Look how easy all this is going to be once you take it rationally! And yet, no matter how many times they fail there is a corpus of atheists who think that their conception of "rationality", i.e., thinking all the things I want to think because I haven't yet discovered their irrationality, because "improving society" is easy, once you're "rational". They have to take the reins and structure society. And the moronicity of "Critical Theory" falls out of that crack. Posted by: Axeman at August 05, 2026 03:31 PM (Fi81e) 265

And this is simply where someone got pushed enough by assholes to go public with the high pressure come on from that organization.

@226...add demonic to the equation.
Once they moved past making homosexuality accepted they moved on to pedo. I read a book about it in 2014, but at the time thought it not true. And here we are. Is bestiality next? It starts out as rebellion and shock factor, then moves into mainstream with liberals. It is demonic to think abortions are ok. Not just the brutal killing of the unborn, but the selective process, and the women who do this acting like a baby human is rubbish. The "clump of cells" Planned Parenthood sold us in the '70's became obsolete as soon as sonograms showed a heartbeat at 8wks. The women who act like this is a badge of courage, to have multiple abortions as if they are having teeth filled will be judged harshly. Some may figure it out before death and repent is all the kindess I can spare for them. Children are not chattal to be abused in any way, especially sexual abuse. That as well is demonic and so horrific I can't think about it. I am not explaining this well, but it all reeks of satan. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 05, 2026 03:32 PM (hzuYO) 269

They tried to claim that because he hadn't taken the additional step to remove himself from the organ donor registry, that didn't count. It's BS they were trying to say removing your organ donor status from your driver's license doesn't count. Once a donor, always a donor. Posted by: bonhomme at August 05, 2026 03:28 PM (mkw2N) _____ Well, yea.

253 The amusing thing about evangelical atheists is their quaint belief that atheism was invented last week, instead of having a sizable and not very pretty history of its own.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at August 05, 2026 03:28 PM (O0L8i) Atheism does have a history in the classical era however. Or before that if we count the Buddha. If one compares philosophical atheism in the Hellenistic era against how the Seleucids and Iranians were behaving at the time (or, G-d help us, Carthage), it looks a lot better.

Posted by: SMH at August 05, 2026 04:12 PM (RqMDa) Revealed Documents: Corrupt FBI Operatives Opened Investigation of Trump as a RUSSIAN AGENT Because He Fired Their Ringleader James ComeyGunther EaglemanJohn Solomon: FBI Follies: Bureau secretly probed Trump as a Russian asset for firing Comey: declassified memos Documents declassified by the White House Government Transparency Task Force show the investigation -- codenamed "Oxferd Comma" -- was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's May 9, 2017 firing and was predicated on allegations that the bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed by that time. The FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting Donald Trump in May 2017, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey even though the bureau's own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion with the Kremlin. Internal memos newly declassified by the White House show the investigation -- codenamed "Oxferd Comma" -- was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's May 9, 2017, firing and was predicated on an allegation that previously released memos show the bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed. "The FBI is opening a full investigation based on an articulable factual basis that reasonably indicates that President Donald J. Trump may be or has been, wittingly or unwittingly, involved in activities for or on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation which may constitute violations of federal criminal law or threats to the national security of the United States," the electronic communication opening the probe on May 16, 2017, stated. Goal of the investigation was to determine if Trump was directed by or controlled by the Russian Federation "The goal of the investigation is to determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes," it added. "In addition, this investigation will also seek to determine whether President Trump and others yet to be named obstructed and/or conspiracy to obstruct any associated FBI investigation." The memo, written by the FBI's counterintelligence division and approved by then-FBI General Counsel James Baker and then-Assistant Director for Counterintelligence William Priestap, made clear the concerns about Russian influence and obstruction included Comey's firing, in part because of the public explanations Trump gave for the termination. "This alternative explanation can be reasonably read to imply that the FBI's counterintelligence investigation was a factor in President Trump's decision to terminate Comey," the memo stated.In other words, James Comey was executing Hillary Clinton's op to investigate Trump as a RUSSIAN AGENT -- while lying to Trump about doing so, telling Trump there wasn't anything to these "scurrilous allegations" while secretly ordering an investigation -- and Trump fired him both for that absurd investigation and for lying to his superior and the Commander in Chief about it. And then the FBI said, "his firing of Comey proves he's an asset of Russia."

What I have learned over the last 10 years is that the FBI and the DOJ are the enforcement arms of the deep state. They will act to undo any election result the deep state doesn't like.
We live in a police state. Sure, its not quite as obvious as East Germany was, but its the same result. We aren't really our own masters. We aren't in charge of our own money, or laws and we can't do anything they don't want us to do. And we can't complain about the things they want us to do that we don't like without being branded deplorable, fascist, racist, islamophobic, transphobes.

"But before I do that, I want to thank Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for joining me here today and for his assistance and counsel throughout this process.

He had well-deserved plans to step back from public service that I interrupted by asking him to help in my transition.

Rod Rosenstein was a closet Deep Stater who pretty much did what the DC Ruling Caste told him to do. Because he wanted to continue to be a candidate for lucrative jobs in the high-ranks of Big Law Firms, when he eventually resigned or retired from FedGov.
We can't know if Sessions would have initially played the game a whole lot better. He quickly recused himself from all Trump Russia-Russia-Russia matters. For no reason other than appearances. That tells me he was no better at recognizing the evil motives of the DC Establishment and Deep State forces fighting Trump than Trump was in January 2017.

Many amateur sleuths who have been pretty accurate about what happened since the early days of this hoax filed FOIA request after FOIA request to get documents to prove their hypothesis'.
My understanding of the FOIA request is that you must submit information of specific requests to get a response. This includes spelling.

I often wonder if Hillary's "Filegate" (improper acquisition of FBI files to which she shouldn't have had access) was less about opposition research, and more about putting her team in place ahead of a planned presidential run.
Comey is a good example. In Bill Clinton's second term he got a nice promotion and shot right up the ladder. The same occurred with Peter Strzok. Comey left Hillary off the hook on the email server. Strzok led that investigation. Stzrzok joined the FBI at the start of Bill Clinton's second term and was in a management position in Richmond shortly after. That seems unlikely.

That plot got so complicated I forgot why Comey ever put Hillary back on the hot seat, thus possibly spiking her White House bid (she blamed him furiously). There was an explanation that was less conjectural than "doing it for show" and more of a procedural necessity. Can't remember what it was.

It's a disgrace. It's been so for many years.
Can probably only hope the Comeys, Pelosis, Garlands, Bidens, Clintons, and even the Obamas, become of absolutely no value to the new breed other than they'll happily 'remove' a few properties and some stock - you know, "generational wealth" - from their vast portfolios. Honeymoon? Here's the cutesy version of the Bidens in 1977. It begins, StarLife Documented February 17 · Here is a detail about Jill Biden's honeymoon that almost nobody talks about, and it's genuinely wild. When she and Joe Biden got married on June 17, 1977, at the Chapel at the United Nations in New York City, they chose to spend their honeymoon at Lake Balaton in Hungary, which was at the time still firmly part of the Eastern Bloc under Communist rule. This wasn't some adventurous backpacker trip. This was a sitting United States Senator taking his new wife behind the Iron Curtain for their romantic getaway in an era when that kind of travel was genuinely unusual and politically eyebrow-raising." Why the Bidens' and Obama's (and, yes, the Clinton's) obsession over the Balkans, Ukraine, etc.? 🧐 /R Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 05, 2026 02:02 PM (NFX2v) 219

Why would she want to do that to Trump? She was very close to him and was one of his defense lawyers during the impeachment farce. The entire Epstein bullshit was a clown show from day 1. No matter what was released the same idiots who claim that Trump was involved with Epstein despite the fact the was the guy who turned him in in Florida, offered to testify against him and then had his DOJ arrest him still claim he was involved with Epstein just like they still claim Russia collusion was ever real. Bondi was dropped into the most corrupt agency in DC. She wasn't perfect, she made mistakes, so does Trump and everyone else, but I don't think she ever wanted to hurt Trump.

>>With that I will ask why would Sessions recuse?
Likely for the reason he explained in front of Congress. He was required by statute to do so. Sessions was part of the campaign and everyone on the campaign was being investigated including him. He was not allowed by statute to oversee and investigation he might have been implicated in. Sessions was one of Trump's earliest supporters. First senator to endorse him long before anyone else got onboard. Long before Russia collusion was even contemplated. I think Sessions was guilty of being a naive boy scout and followed the law not realizing the level of corruption he was up against. In hindsight it's easy to see but back in those early days when Comey bragged he setup Flynn by sending a couple guys to the White House to interview him and not go through proper channels because the Trump administration was just coming into office and not fully organized things weren't so clear. They were plotting against all of them. Again, it obviously hurt Trump but it's not like the coup plotters were complete idiots. They were plotting to drive all of them out and destroy the entire administration. Posted by: JackStraw at August 05, 2026 02:20 PM (viF8m) 299

GOP Sen. Collins said she'll vote 'no' on Todd Blanche's AG nomination Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at August 05, 2026 01:46 PM (Cqx++) _____________________________ And, that's not even close to the worst thing she did today. Check out her comments on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Short version is that the Republicans caved and will not follow the directive from the White House and Office of the Budget to require agency head to sign off on each and every grant (or provide sufficient oversight). What this means is the Dems have reopened their pipeline for campaign cash by laundering out Federal Grant money through cut outs and returning it into dem coffers via unscrutinized "grass roots" donations. ActBlue lives on, and so does tax payers subsidizing Democrats. Collins is excrement. Posted by: Orson at August 05, 2026 02:22 PM (dIske) 307

Barack Obama became the first U.S. president to use an autopen to sign a bill into law, employing the machine to sign legislation while he was out of the country, most notably in May 2011.
Key Autopen Occasions May 26, 2011: While attending the G8 Summit in Deauville, France, Obama used the autopen to sign an extension of the Patriot Act to avoid its expiration. November 28, 2011: He used the machine to sign an appropriations bill while in Indonesia. January 3, 2013: While on vacation in Hawaii, he used the autopen to sign the "fiscal cliff" bill (American Taxpayer Relief Act) to meet a deadline while he was thousands of miles from Washington, D.C.. Context: While the autopen has been used by presidents for routine correspondence since Truman, Obama was the first to use it for official legislation, citing a 2005 Justice Department legal opinion that allowed a subordinate to affix the President's signature if directed. --- Office of Counsel, DOJ, Whether the President May Sign a Bill by Directing That His Signature Be Affixed to It Date of Issuance: July 7, 2005 👉Steven G.

You definitely don't want to put it off. If you wait too long, they may not be able to save the tooth and you'll have to have the tooth extracted. Then you'll need an expensive implant and a crown.
Posted by: redridinghood at August 05, 2026 02:21 PM (NpAcC) Speaking from personal experience, root canals eventually fail, and the tooth comes out anyway. And it is a miserable process to endure. Better just to yank the offending tooth, and get an implant. The process is less painful to endure, and less time in the chair. Yes, it requires several visits. And the price differential between a root canal and an implant is dropping. The extra money is worth it for the reduced discomfort, IMHO.

Remember, Trump has fired more than a third of the federal government civilian workforce. And that the real solution is to win the next election. There is no permanent fix.

Turns out they're both apparently in bed with foreign intel services. Kiriakou has openly admitted to sucking off the Russians, because they pay him, and Bustamove is relocating out of the US (I think he's moving to the UK), probably because he recently got caught out as a bullshitter who claimed to be a CIA James Bond, but ended up being more like the janitor in the executive wing at Langley.

Reminder again, in Oct 2016 FBI received a Steele memo that included the tidbit Michael Cohen traveled to Prague in August to pay off hackers.
FBI then investigates this detail and finds a different Michael Cohen traveled to Prague. This is evidence the dossier is a frame job. Obviously someone fed Steele Michael Cohen's travel info with the intention the FBI would look it up and put in the FISA application that we validated this portion of the dossier. But whoever in the government looked up travel info made a mistake, revealing the plot. The FBI ignored this detail and went ahead. Jake Tapper revealed this detail on Twitter, but did not tell his viewers the dossier is a fake. Instead he complained to Buzazfeed for making the dossier public.

Posted by: Danimal28 at August 05, 2026 06:34 PM (vGw+K) Update: Fake DEI Perfesser Now Claiming Some Racists Left a Pig's Head on His Door; Local Butchers and Police DenyHe's not just a plagiarist, he's a serial liar. He can't stop making things up. He's literally never been called on his lies before so this is a whole new experience for him. John Sexton:[Y]esterday the NY Times published a story which basically summarized what is happening. While the story does cover most of the territory, all of the really damaging findings about Arday are left out. That seems odd, especially after Arday canceled an interview with the Times to answer their questions.I think that answers itself.Arday has also told the press that his academic successes brought darker attention, including the delivery of a severed pig's head to his parents' home and repeated visits to his office by a masked intruder, once while wielding a knife... ... As for his personal life, he said he "had no reason to lie or fabricate," and reiterated that he was the victim of "a wider campaign, motivated by racism, to discredit me in every single way possible."... ...over the weekend, British news outlets, including some that previously ran admiring coverage of Arday, raised fresh questions about possible anomalies in his published work and unsupported elements of his personal story, including his claims about the pig's head and the masked intruder.So the pig's head story gets mentioned twice in the story and once more in the subheading. But what you see above is it. The Times says there are "possible anomalies" with this story but then stops and doesn't offer any details. The story has been updated today but there's still no mention of what happened with the pig's head. They do offer a link if you want to look it up yourself, but why not follow this story to the end? Here's what the Guardian reported Saturday about the pig's head story.As I said yesterday, there only seem to be two possible explanations here. Either the police and the local butcher are out to get Arday or he's lying. The much more likely possibility is the second one. So, getting back to the NY Times, why would they raise this issue in an article and then fail to mention that the police and the butcher said his claims were absolutely false? Why wouldn't they mention that Arday has zero evidence (no texts or pictures) to back up his crazy claim?

The county I grew up in was, at one time, the Number 1 pork-producing county in Michigan.
The guy who worked for the county as its pig expert once told me that, if you cut a pig open, the arrangement of its internal organs looked very much like the arrangement of organs in humans. He speculated that that's where the Jewish prohibition on eating pork came from -- it was too reminiscent of cannibalism. Posted by: Bulg at August 05, 2026 01:01 PM (77rzZ) 226

Apparently the Kurds are attacking Iran from Iraq, and there are analysts of the area thinking we will see similar step-offs from Baluchistan and possibly from the Gulf states.
This seems that Trump calling off the attack this week may have had more to do with the lack of basic military logistics and coordination in the region than leaks from the Pentagon; the leak story may have been the cover story to the fact that our allies are unable to get their thumbs out in reasonable amounts of time. It looks like ground action, or at least some sort of seaborne attacks may be in the works to take up the IRGC holdouts in the ports, and the USN is in place to do it.

Posted by: Bulg at August 05, 2026 01:01 PM (77rzZ) An Anthropology prof I took classes for was focused on cannibalism in New Guinea, and one of the insights is that pig parts and human parts use identical terms. However, one of the theories I heard about Leviticus is that it was an outgrowth of cultural elements of Egypt, where pigs were celebrated so much that they would only eat them at one festival period in the year. Also some of the early cities in Judea found raising pigs in nominally Jewish cities, which could either mean some overlap from the Philistines, cultural adoption from the Philistines, or that the hardline prohibition was a later adoption of the culture and religion.

My MIL made a hideous concoction for Easter every year. A Polish dish of pig's feet and random chicken pieces off a carcass. They'd eat this with vinegar for brunch. It somehow congealed into beige with lumps of meat and I've had one nasty bite in my almost 50yrs of knowing them. They almost come to blows over it if not enough made. It is called a word that sounds like jim-na-nuggie. I don't eat beige jello food for starters, nor pig's feet. I also royally do not pick over a chicken's carcass unless it is end times and I have to. I eat white meat and don't care what others think. Have told my husband I did not descend from peasants like he apparently did (altho he's wonderful and good lookin'). They would probably eat road kill as I was often horrified with what was served. Plus she kept left overs far beyond what I considered as safe. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 05, 2026 01:22 PM (hzuYO) 302
You literally called the dude a fucking terrorist for months on end and called him a sexist, misogynist, terrorist, bad candidate, fake doctor when he has two fucking degrees.
He IS a fake ass doctor. Got money from Soros groups to get him through school. Never got a license to practice, and immediately took a gubmint job. If he is a muzzie, then the fucker is a Jew (and Christian) hating terrorist. End of story. Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at August 05, 2026 01:22 PM (QUhXt) 303
He speculated that that's where the Jewish prohibition on eating pork came from -- it was too reminiscent of cannibalism.
Posted by: Bulg at August 05, 2026 01:01 PM (77rzZ) An Anthropology prof I took classes for was focused on cannibalism in New Guinea, and one of the insights is that pig parts and human parts use identical terms. However, one of the theories I heard about Leviticus is that it was an outgrowth of cultural elements of Egypt, where pigs were celebrated so much that they would only eat them at one festival period in the year. Also some of the early cities in Judea found raising pigs in nominally Jewish cities, which could either mean some overlap from the Philistines, cultural adoption from the Philistines, or that the hardline prohibition was a later adoption of the culture and religion. == Zoonosis from pigs to humans - the Lord was looking out for the people . . .

234 Apparently the Kurds are attacking Iran from Iraq, and there are analysts of the area thinking we will see similar step-offs from Baluchistan and possibly from the Gulf states.
This seems that Trump calling off the attack this week may have had more to do with the lack of basic military logistics and coordination in the region than leaks from the Pentagon; the leak story may have been the cover story to the fact that our allies are unable to get their thumbs out in reasonable amounts of time. It looks like ground action, or at least some sort of seaborne attacks may be in the works to take up the IRGC holdouts in the ports, and the USN is in place to do it.

The people that came in, they are eating the cats. They're eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there."The officials said it isn't happening, you say? Well, that's good enough for me! They did no reporting. They asked no real people in Springfield. They didn't send a "journalist" to go to migrant areas of Springfield and talk to the natives. They picked up the phone, got the official Party line from the local officials, printed it uncritically and asserted that anyone claiming otherwise was spreading disinformation from Trump and his villainous allies. This trip down memory lane is just to set the stage, because this is such a common Press tactic that it has become almost invisible. The progression is always the same: CLAIM: Spain’s move to legalize the status of immigrants caused the rush. THE FACTS: Spain’s government is carrying out an amnesty for immigrants without residency permits who could prove they had been living in the country for at least five months and arrived before Jan. 1, 2026. Over 1 million people applied before the window closed at the end of last month.So they did grant amnesty - but that doesn't apply to these guys because they came too recently. Nobody said that these guys would get amnesty because of the law change - but the AP certainly can't discuss how amnesty inevitably leads to more migration or sets the stage for additional violations of the border. Ignore the problem. Just say it's not a thing. CLAIM: A misconstrued Spanish court ruling is to blame. THE FACTS: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has pushed the argument that a recent ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court had been intentionally misconstrued by migrant smugglers to convince thousands of people to cross the border by swimming around the border fence.So the ruling was construed as saying it said exactly what it said, but the problem is that people noticed that the ruling said what it said. Amazing! AP "debunked" this one by verifying it. Top-notch work. CLAIM: Those who crossed will end up in mainland Europe. THE FACTS: The Ceuta crossings have led to political leaders in Italy, France and other EU nations to take measures that appear aimed at stopping people from entering their countries. Premier Giorgia Meloni threatened to suspend Italy’s open-border Schengen agreement with Spain even though Italy doesn’t share a border with Spain and receives many more migrants crossing the Mediterranean than Spain. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said France would also strengthen border checks with Spain.This one is amazing. "This claim is absolutely true - but because it's true, some other European countries are on the brink of destroying the treaty basis for the entire European Union, so it now isn't true." That's one hell of a take. I'd love it if this spells the beginning of the end of the EU, but claiming that countries abrogating Schengen because of the risks associated with Schengen means that Schengen presents no risks is such a baffling conclusion that only a genuine retard - a Press-grade retard - could come up with it. This tactic has long since become absurd. People see what's happening and know that something's rotten and talk about it, so the Press comes marching in to interview some officials or NGO types and then claim that none of this is what it so obviously is. A group of prominent liars asks another group of prominent liars a question and then uncritically publishes the deceitful response while liberally filling in the blanks however they please - and then have the temerity to lament the loss of institutional trust. It s not difficult to explain the latter, as this level of contemptuous and deceitful stupidity is so common and so normal that it has become transparent to the point of tedium.

Sadly I suspect that many younger journalists are not even aware that they are tools of the communists.

We are currently in STAGE 4 "It's complicated." "STAGE 1. THE “CRISIS”: Some situation exists, whose negative aspects the anointed propose to eliminate. STAGE 2. THE “SOLUTION”: Policies to end the “crisis” are advocated by the anointed, who say that these policies will lead to beneficial result A. Critics say that these policies will lead to detrimental result Z. The anointed dismiss these latter claims as absurd and “simplistic,” if not dishonest. STAGE 3. THE RESULTS: The policies are instituted and lead to detrimental result Z. STAGE 4. THE RESPONSE: Those who attribute detrimental result Z to the policies instituted are dismissed as “simplistic” for ignoring the “complexities” involved, as “many factors” went int determining the outcome."

A lefty guy I know just published a book on the future of the EU, the central tenant of which is that the EU has turned into a dictatorship of sorts, benevolent generally, and run technocratically. For now.
Because it was never an organic, "consent of the governed" organization, it was always an imposition from above. Now it is threatening to turn ugly. Unfettered immigration, IMO, is the issue that will break the Union. First off, the countries cannot afford it. Second, their prisons aren't big enough (See UK "Early Release" plans). Third, there is cultural backlash turning overwhelmingly political (Germany). Posted by: Huck Follywood at August 05, 2026 11:13 AM (zG53D) 36

The problem is that they are writing history's first draft. Today we see the obvious lie. But they keep repeating in, and 10 years later you hear it and you think, "hey, I seem to recall that wasn't the case," but you do an internet search and all you pull up are links that confirm the lie. Then 15-20 years later, they've worked the lie into textbooks, scholarship, heck, there's even a new HBO "based on true events" movie that all reinforce the lie. Now the people who didn't live through it, or who didn't really follow it at the time, are completely brainwashed. They do this because it works. They do this because they are in it for the long game.

"'Journalists'" are the lowest form of life"
They are the modern-day equivalent of actors, court jesters, and performers of old. Basically, cheap whores. Today's "journalists" are much better paid, but do not reside much higher in the minds of the public. Poll after poll puts journalists at a lower approval rating than "rats crawling up your ass and laying eggs." Journalists are routinely despised by normal people. But -- like the performers of old -- they function as performers and cosplayers in what has become not informative but almost pure theater.

They are indeed playing the long game as you noted. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at August 05, 2026 11:28 AM (cpFbA) 70

Eugyppius' analysis -- https://tinyurl.com/ywcvdhzp
The migrants aren’t really a great labour force; they remain overwhelmingly on the dole and unemployed. The humanitarian thesis feels increasingly post hoc to me – a story we started telling ourselves when the migration was already happening and we needed somehow to feel good about it. And some parties on the left may once have hoped that the migrants would form a favourable client class to cement their political dominance, but on the electoral front migration has served only to fuel the rise of the populist right. Mostly these insane things happen because we’re weak, and our leaders have lost interest in basic state functions like border security. They’ve moved on to more interesting and exotic projects – weird social engineering projects to stamp out whatever they imagine “the right” to be, weird energy projects to phase out fossil fuel combustion, weird governance projects to relocate responsibility over many aspects of the economy and daily life to unelected managers and technocrats. Mass migration is in nobody’s interest but it keeps happening because the flabby and distracted states of Europe can’t be arsed to stop it. Posted by: Kindltot at August 05, 2026 11:38 AM (rbvCR) 88

BREAKING: The Spanish royals gathered for their annual glitzy Marivent Palace reception in Majorca on Tuesday, exuding effortless elegance.
Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia stepped out with their parents, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, and grandmother Queen Sofia. The gathering was attended by local authorities and dignitaries from across the Balearic Islands. Queen Sofia, embraced a bold and bright colour scheme, opting for a silk floral Alejandro de Miguel caftan over a burgundy dress, which she paired with a geometric necklace and Isabel Gurach brooch to accessorise. Her granddaughters arrived in style. Leonor, who is heir to the throne, embracing her natural brunette waves, while she wore a two-piece orange and red ensemble by Spanish brand Thinking Mu. Leonor wore the top to a Bad Bunny concert in Madrid earlier this summer. This time, she accessorised the look with gold sandals and a gold arm cuff. Her sister, meanwhile, stepped out in a pink, blue and white floral Libelula maxi dress by Italian brand Momoni, which she finished with a gold belt. Queen Letizia was regal in a cream midi dress with stylish coordinated sandals. Posted by: AoSHQ Celebrity News Bureau and Rumour Centre at August 05, 2026 11:39 AM (0sNs1) 92

The fact that the commie media is desperate to spin this Moroccan invasion into something other than what it clearly is a very welcome and positive development.
Why? 1. The story is too big and explosive to bury. The commie media initially tried to ignore or downplay it. That failed. 2. The desperate spin shows the commie media is very worried about the optics of the invasion. Thousands of half-naked mongrel men pouring into a city like a scene out of World War Z is much scarier and more provocative than the pics of short fat women dragging haggardly babies in caravan lines in Mexico. 3. In fact, the optics are so abominably rat-smellingly bad that half of normally immigrant-loving Europe closed or threatened to close their borders to Spain.

The FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting Donald Trump in May 2017, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey even though the bureau’s own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion with the Kremlin.
Internal memos newly declassified by the White House show the investigation – codenamed “Oxferd Comma” – was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey’s May 9, 2017, firing and was predicated on an allegation that previously released memos show the bureau’s own agents had mostly dismissed.

It’s great there are ad blockers. But the typical reader won’t start installing software for a website. They’ll just leave.
Eh, it’s Ace’s joint, he’s calculating the pop up revenue will be worth the lost readers. He may be right he may be wrong. His decision. Posted by: Before You Go at August 05, 2026 12:19 PM (TSRtE) 161
I don't think Ace gets a penny from the pop ups. I brought up the information on the "Before You Go" pop ups. It's an outside company who hires a third party hacker to put hidden script into the source code. That guy gets paid, as does the advertiser depot that hired the hacker. It's a growing problem. It's also a felony violation of the current cyber laws. So, the more views the criminal gets, the more money he gets...which is why it pops up so frequently, and switches content each time.

____________________ Stay tuned on this one. AfD has moved their support needle up over 40% in a significant part of Germany. Eventually, they are going to be so popular that they will be able to circumvent the opposition parties banning together to curb AfD's influence. With each stabbing, rape, murder, fire...the support needle leans closer to AfD. Trying this late in the game to ban them is desperation. Posted by: Orson at August 05, 2026 12:24 PM (dIske) 180

"Mornin' Angle..." In Hot Fuzz, the joke is that the Sanford Citizen's lead reporter is an illiterate incompetent, but in real life I'm convinced that the J-schools teach their journalism majors to include "mistakes" and misspellings in every story, no matter how inconsequential. I've read multiple anecdotes or heard stories about how you can watch a local reporter write down the exact information, like a date or a name, check their notes to be sure that they wrote it down correctly, and it'll be horribly wrong by the time it gets published. If the facts, spelling and date for a local car show or art walk are presented accurately, you can be sure that they just cut/pasted the press release with no changes.

Lost his flag when Abe died! Only Maj a year later! Never got his flag back! Posted by: rodney stanton at August 05, 2026 09:36 AM (lsWN6) The star was a "brevet" position, meaning that he was in a general officer position and given the honors according to rank, but it was only ever a temporary position and not an actual promotion. Getting court martialed while stationed in Kansas didn't help his career much either. (Left his unit to attend to his wife and was suspended for a year.)

This is interesting. The artist is considered 'modern realistic'. That seems to mean recognizable but not natural. Easy to see it's Custer but the color choices and application is almost Impressionistic, especially in the skin tones and folds of the clothing. Looking at this one and others like his portrait of Trump (which is excellent), it feels like he painted over a photograph using his own style. Don't know if that is true, just an idea.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at August 05, 2026 09:54 AM (l4RKn) I don't know. The Army being there was already the immediate and concerted effort to do something about them. That battle didn't pop up out of nowhere, it had already been years and years of expanding and accelerating terrorism, and minor skirmishes weren't doing the job. Who knows. Maybe the whole thing was a big dumb fake and gay PsyOp to begin with, and they could get rid of Custer in the process as a bonus. "That's stupid" is becoming less and less salient as an argument overall, as it becomes more and more apparent just how stupid humanity actually is.

There’s that 10 minute YouTube compilation of people laughing at the idea of him winning. How did that work out for them? Saw that in 2008 with Obama too.

Custer
Daniel Sambo-Richter >Bilderpolitik, By Ralf Hartmann, 2009 In small part, "For centuries, the portrait of rulers and their military conveyed shared political ideas. Especially at the height of imperialism, thousands of portraits and monuments were commissioned to attune the collective community to those seemingly shared ideals, as embodied by individual figures of identification. A striking example is the portrait of the legendary American Civil War general Armstrong Custer, who became a national icon of white supremacy over the Sioux Indians following the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. In Sambo-Richter’s work, his full-length portrait is still entirely indebted to those absolutist ruler portraits familiar especially from older European art." 🤬 Thanks Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 05, 2026 10:22 AM (NFX2v) 182
Saw that in 2008 with Obama too. How many times was it said he’s too liberal, he’s Muslim he can’t possibly win. And yet…
Don’t get cocky kid. Posted by: How it works at August 05, 2026 10:19 AM (3cXW4) We DID see it in 2008 with Obama. The difference now is that 2008 Obama is a fascist reich-wing radical. That's just true. Also, in Michigan specifically (but this also applies in Texas), Al Sayed got destroyed in the black vote. Black democrats - literally the most reliable voting bloc in the history of ever - refused to vote for him in the primary and absolutely will not vote for him in the general. That's a huge, materially significant difference. Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at August 05, 2026 10:22 AM (AdHga) 183

Communism is seductive. Do nothing, get free shit. What’s there not to love? Given the past 30-40 years of education in this country, it’s that much more deductive because two generations went through school being told it’s wonderful. Every day the media tells yuuutes it’s not their fault they’re poor because they eat DoorDash 3 meals a day. Instead it’s the fault of boomers and Jews and Elon and capitalism in general. And look here is Al Sayed who will come refute you from all this and make you rich.

OR - you are right they couldn't cheat Trump out, but Trump isn't on this ballot this time and they are currently orchestrating a "wave" and I expect they will get it.

BofA chairman Moynihan just said the bank spends $250 million per year on GLP-1 drugs for it's employees. At $5,000 per year per person, a fair estimate, that implies something like 50,000 people out of a total workforce of about 210,000 people.

This June I was out with the Little Big Horn Associates and the Custer Battlefield Historical and Museum Association, doing that whole Custer thing. Though I didn't see the silly people stomping on a Stars and Stripes cavalry guidon or dancing around (in a national cemetery) among the death-site markers on Last Stand Hill, I did manage to get a front row seat at the 150th anniversary events on June 25. The 268 7th Cavalry soldiers, officers, and attached personnel who were killed during the fight or died of wounds were ignored by the U.S. government as much as possible, in favor of endless Indian speakers offering frequently nonsensical "facts" about Custer or his last fight plus one speaker's inane denunciation of the Masons and the Knights of Columbus. The government's unspoken premise seemed to be that Custer's (I suppose we won't see any "Confederate Victory Day" at Fredericksburg, etc.) However, renowned historian Paul Andrew Hutton ("The Undiscovered Country") did give a sensible speech, even mentioning Gen. Arthur St. Clair (whose 1791 defeat dwarfed that of Custer as an Indian victory) and pointing out that in sending out Custer, the U.S. Army was sending out its best.

This portrait is a quintessential example of why I did not become a portrait artist. The artist could have a photographer take Custer's picture in that stance and then embellish it in his painting to capture Custer's caricature.
What the artist did, by the looks of the painting, was to capture his face, and then outlined his cloak. Finishing it up with the standard stance. This is obvious by the low crotch and short legs which does not conform to biological standards. The crotch should be up into the cloak, which better represents biological norms. Otherwise, Custer had short legs. Ergo, he could not run away from the indigenous American Indians and was terminated. Posted by: John at August 05, 2026 01:41 PM (9NUKl) 292
Aw, come on, Bill Butcher! Your claim that,
"...in sending out Custer, the U.S. Army was sending out its best." There is so much disinformation about Armstrong Custer that we have no real understanding about who he was other than his goals were. What we do know is that Government and The Defense Department, being the bureaucrats that they are will send threatening, uppity goal seekers into the wilderness to die. Posted by: John at August 05, 2026 01:57 PM (9NUKl) 293
John, what ARE you going on about?
First you start out on an extended discussion regarding the painting of G.A. Custer and his "cloak." Custer is not wearing a cloak, either in the painting or in the photograph on which it is based. Your comments are...puzzling. The claim about Custer's abilities was made this June 25 by Dr. Paul Andrew Hutton, who besides being a swell guy has studied Custer and his last fight since boyhood. (Much is known about Custer, despite your own professions of ignorance.) Your contention that the government -- including a "Defense Department" nonexistent in 1876 -- sent Custer out to die in the wilderness (along with 267 others serving in or attached to the Seventh Cavalry), rather than to play an important role in an Indian war authorized by the U.S. government, is of course complete gibberish. And just what is an "uppity goal seeker"? A presumptuous soccer player? Posted by: Bill the Butcher at August 05, 2026 08:21 PM (FURUr) The Morning Report — 8/ 5 /26
Sanders answered, “No, I am not. And I think that’s a dumb statement. On the other hand, he has a whole lot of followers, and there are a lot of things that he’s saying that are making sense to a lot of people. I think we have to get above cancel culture. When you’re doing radio, whatever they do, podcasts three hours a day, you say dumb things. I suspect if you go back over your career, there may be one or two things that you’ve said that you may have regretted. But I think what we have got to do is look at the totality of where people are coming from and go forward.” Phillip then asked, “So, when someone like James Carville says he doesn’t want to be in the same political party as Hasan Piker, which one are you going to take?” Sanders answered, “Well, that’s not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, the party that I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party. But, look, what we are doing now is, you can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe has committed genocide? Do you want to be in a party with people who do that? Do you want to be in a party which has not stood up to the AI industry, because they got a lot of money from AI or from crypto? So you could pick whatever you want to pick. But I think we need a big tent. And I think people like Piker should be welcome into that, certainly.”Yes, Bernie Sanders, whose closest encounter with Judaism is the occasional Pastrami Sandwich at Katz's deli, is as is painfully evident eagerly test marketing new Zyklon C and D for Hamas. And Carville despite being portrayed as some sort of voice of moderation was one of the key button men for the Clinton crime family and helped inflict them on America which not coincidentally led us to Obama, Biden and the near violent ripping apart of our society that we've been enduring and may yet, Despite the coming of MAGA and Donald Trump might yet come apart at the seams. And speaking of all of the above, this happened yesterday. An armed man allegedly scouted President Trump’s California golf club before the commander in chief’s visit, and investigators say the arrest uncovered an illegal rifle, body armor and a weapons stash. Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, was charged in a federal criminal complaint with possessing an unregistered short-barreled rifle after his arrest Saturday at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles in Rancho Palos Verdes. . . He allegedly approached federal agents and falsely claimed he worked for the State Department and was assigned to a security detail.So what is this now the fifth or sixth attempt on President Trump's life, that we know of anyway. Of course we have the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk as well as the various attacks on ICE and Law Enforcement officers which of course is another central political tenet of the Democrats, the abolition of the aforementioned and erasure of our borders. Related to all of that, this madness is going on in my newish home state of Wisconsin. Yet in a city named for this Founding Father — Madison, Wisconsin — citizens have been harassed by roving bands of socialists, while city officials not only acquiesce but overtly support the seizure of property, restriction of free movement, and abuse of private businesses. The saga began on July 22, when four Madison police officers attempted to arrest Corey Ruiz, who was reportedly armed with a knife. A series of videos shows Ruiz resisting arrest and lunging at officers until one officer shot and killed him. According to police, Ruiz pulled out his knife and injured an officer before he was shot. . . Ruiz’s death sparked the typical leftist reaction: violence and threats of violence. All the necessary ingredients were present: the officers involved were white, and Ruiz was black (although five separate court records list him as “Caucasian,” which raises different questions) . . Leading candidate for Wisconsin governor and avowed “democratic” socialist Francesca Hong took to the streets hours after the death with a bullhorn to denounce the police.Of course this evil slag did that. If I were President Trump I'd invite the police officers to the White House and award them with some sort of medal for bravery and meritorious service. We're in a war for the soul and the future of this nation, our nation. It's us or them. Meanwhile, ho hum ho hum. Wildfires! No not climate change but yet another firebug who has to cause a manmade change of our climate to prove it exists. Either that or he's a wetback or a bum cooking a can of hobo stew. Nope, he's none of the above but you can bet who he votes for! A 37-year-old man was arrested Monday for allegedly starting the largest of the three devastating Spokane, Washington-area wildfires that are leaving some residents with nothing. Aaron Farinacci, a Spokane resident who has a prior manslaughter conviction, was booked on suspicion of first degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire and was being held on $1 million bond, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said. Authorities began investigating Farinacci after a witness saw him kneeling near grass where the fire began, Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels told a press conference late Monday. . . “The individual we understand does have a criminal record,” Gov. Ferguson said. “It just takes a tragic situation, and makes it more heartbreaking to think that much of this damage could have been caused by an individual doing this on purpose. It adds to a really challenging situation.”Have a good day,

By and large, the slate of Republicans running for office are satisfactory. Some candidates I knew personally, and approved of, did not make it. An endorsement from Trump seems impossible to overcome. The write-in votes for minor offices have not been released yet. That is when you find out if your "friends" have written you into office.

Call me crazy but I'm optimistic about November.
Many on our side will Turnout like they've never done before for a midterm -- especially Non-College who outnumber College by two to one and historically have had low voting participation. Cheating will be limited to Deep Blue enclaves and won't flip seats. The D Senators who don't vote to censure Fauci will be pounded with it. There will be more revelations of Leftist chicanery. I expect Trump will hit Iran hard before Labor Day. They won't have oil revenue and will thus become irrelevant. By November it will less of an issue. Gas prices will be falling.

That’s another apparent fatal flaw in the system.
Background and loyalty checks. Under our current system, merely winning an election, (or just “winning” wink wink) the candidate has been “deemed” to have passed a background check. If tax returns are so important for Americans to gauge or politicians, a full candidate F.B.I. document dump before they throw their hat in the ring looms larger. Along with their prescription pharmaceutical profile. A lot of these people are seriously defective in one way or another.

And from the article linked in #5
"Law-enforcement activist Damon Jones, publisher of a Mount Vernon-centric newspaper called Black Westchester Magazine, called the latest incident another embarrassment for the community — the only city in the county where black residents make up a majority of the population. “I am embarrassed as a black law-enforcement officer to see the dysfunction in a city that has a black mayor, a majority of black city council, a majority black police department that we have to see continuing dysfunction and just foolery in an organization that should be so professional,” Jones, a 33-year veteran of the Westchester County Department of Correction, told The Post. Jennifer Lackard should have never been appointed to her leadership post, Jones railed, pointing out that her social-work background was insufficient to kickstart the Wellness Unit of the troubled police department. “Unfortunately, we see this with Democrats that they put people in positions — especially in law-enforcement positions — that they shouldn’t be there,” said Jones."

Asked why he didn't correct the record, Arday said: "Could I have ever guessed that somebody would literally comb through every single word I've ever said on that?

Posted by: NaCly Dog at August 05, 2026 07:53 AM (u82oZ) It works domestically. It’s also training everyone in the Middle East, both friends and enemies, to discount everything the US says publicly as insincere nonsense. Someone wrote up a list of the times Iran had been threatened with blowing up all their bridges and power plants - I think the count is up to 13, with the US backing off each time.

Seems there is good news and bad news in the D's Michigan senate primary race.
The good news is Dr. Allahu Akbar squeaked out a win and is only 19,000-ish votes up; if McMorrow hadn't split the now centrist lunatic left vote Stevens would have won thus blunting the communist DSA's momentum. I take this to mean there is nearly zero chance Dr. AA is going to pick up enough of the Stevens/McMorrow vote to beat Rogers, the Republican, in the general election. The bad news has to been seen from the communist insurgency perspective: The DSA most likely is going to take their recent major political successes as an indication that the winds of destiny are at their backs and that any loses are temporary setbacks. The Democrat party is a hollowed out geriatric day care center ready to collapse with not much pushing with the pushing from coming from the highly organized, youthful and ambitious DSA communist monsters. The DSA is the prairie fire envisioned by the 1960s Weather Underground. The DSA and their fevered communist revolution dreams are going to be a chronic threat for at least the next decade and worse if their Bolshevik claptrap becomes normalized.

Posted by: Ben Had at August 05, 2026 08:13 AM (3ZNGI) Fatalist bullies with a full nuclear weapons program underneath Pickaxe mountain that is ongoing and which we’re set to do nothing about. (Except pretend it’s not there after admitting it is) Trump’s most dangerous blind spot has always been his belief that every enemy ultimately wants a deal. He understands businessmen. He understands leverage, pressure and the desire to walk away with a win. But radical Islamist regimes and movements do not define winning the same way. For them, negotiations are just another battlefield: a way to gain time, divide opponents, secure concessions and survive until the balance of power changes. Iran wants a nuclear weapons program. No negotiations on Earth will stop them from getting one. Posted by: Tom Servo at August 05, 2026 08:22 AM (7WIKt) 170

I've heard a lot of loose talk that the Democrat Party is destroying itself in the ascendancy of its far Left. This is dangerous nonsense.
It's the bigger of the "two" Parties, and the oldest political Party in the world. People have a tribal affiliation to it, and even if they hadn't been raised from the cradle to hate and fear the GOP, that's a do-nothing, go-nowhere Party whose only platform is "tax breaks for our major donors." It can't attract anyone, and it's only draw for independents, the Right-wing base, and disillusioned Dems - Trump - will leave the scene forever in a couple years. They are the Party that's in deep shit, not the other way around. As of 2028, the Democrats will be in their strongest relative position in the prior 15 years, without regard to the midterms, where they will likely make some gains, not losses. And by then, they will have ceded control of the Party apparatus to the DSA. They're about to be the most threatening political force in American history. Whistle past that graveyard at your own peril... If you think the same old cucks in new red hats will thwart this menace, you're in for the shock of a lifetime.

Occasionally I'll engage with these sorts of people... You know Trump released the files after the Democrats sat on them for years right? And they named a bunch of leftwing pols, leftwing academics, and leftwing celebrities all currying favor from Epstein AFTER his arrest right? But but but not all the files! So you think there are other files but you don't care about the people listed in the files that are publicly available? Why aren't you demanding they be arrested or cancelled or hell why don't you stop paying to go to their movies?!? THAT ISN'T THE SAME!

And Israel doesn’t have the deep penetrators needed to go through 100 meters of granite, only the US does. More than one Israeli source with ties to the IDF believes that Iran already has a crude working weapon; at the very least a “dirty bomb” they could launch at Tel Aviv. Israel’s deterrence is not to hope they can stop it, but to promise to launch nukes back at Tehran if this happens. That’s the true endgame everyone wants to avoid.

radical transformation of the Democratic Party
--------- What is the Democrat Party establishment actually giving up during this "transformation"? Where is the ideological fault line? Support of Israel? The Democrat Party HATES Israel and has explicitly supported terrorists for 30 years. Saying the quiet part out loud might not be the loss everyone here seems to think it is. They are shifting the Overton Window all the way to the Far Left - now communism becomes just another thing some people believe. It's incredibly malignant and underhanded but you have to hand it to these people. Somewhere someone had a looong conversation - "we need a MAGA on our side" and realized they could do it with a "dangerous movement" rather than a single "dangerous person". It's wild to watch in real time. Posted by: ... at August 05, 2026 08:49 AM (sRo0+) 227

Aaron Farinacci is a psychotic psychopath and in my view, incapable of living in a free society. He clearly represents a danger to others and has taken everything from hundreds since his release from prison. He is an arsonist and a murderer, the later of which should have precluded his release into society and prevented the former. At this stage, the only appropriate punishment is to burn him at the stake so that he can get a taste of hell before he goes there. 'People' such as he have forfeited the right to breathe by their own actions. He is the spawn of Satan and needs to go home to visit daddy.

Remember when Antifa was running wild in Portland and the mayor did nothing about it arguing people have a right to protest until one Antifa member slapped him? And how then the police demolished Antifa encampments and started arresting members...all for a short time until the mayor and antifa leaders came to an understanding?
Well, "abolish the police" would yield something like this. If you, as a normie, is robbed or raped they'd send a social worker to tell you it is your own fault while if someone who is connected was a victim of crime they'd send the men with the guns to deal with it.

Law Enforcement isn't about any kind of Justice. Its about Control of the general population.
Law Enforcement is made up of people—who have their own interests. Your average LEO also has allegiances to his other Leo, who also has their own interests; collectively they have their own interests—union, pensions, benefits, protection. The City Manager, the political layer within Law Enforcement and the city council determine, after engagement with the union, what the LEOs should focus on—all of these actors have their own self-interests. What you see on the streets is a swirling, volatile bowl of self-interests occasionally in alliance and often in conflict seeking to maximize their own interests. Notice that Public Safety, Duty and Honor have no representatives. Posted by: Community Notes at August 05, 2026 09:14 AM (PVBkQ) 303
>>Would not surprise me in the least if democrat capos are tweaking the results in Michigan's El-Sayed v. Stevens Senate race. They've probably determined that El-Sayed is just a bit too Commie/Islamist for 2026.
Maybe. Or maybe the fan boys in the media and polling completely overestimated the support for a radical communist even in a state with a very large Muslim population. They were confidently predicting a potential double digit smack down and he barely won. If you add up the votes for Haley and the other Dem candidate who dropped out of the race weeks ago they actually got more votes than El Sayed. I don't think everyone in the Democrat Party is sold on these commies taking over the party. When the announce they are coming for Schumer and Jeffries I don't think those two are onboard either.

Btw, a good hint as to how broken polling in general is in Texas now - a recent poll said that Abbott is only leading by 3 points in the Governor's race - and yet if you were to ask average people on the street, half of them don't even realize that the Governor is on the ballot this year, and 9 out of 10 couldn't tell you the Democrat candidates name.
A total non-campaign with a Dem placeholder candidate. This is the fourth time Abbot has run for Governor, he has always won with a margin between 57% and 63%. He will win with a vote in that range again. (And so will Paxton) Posted by: Tom Servo at August 05, 2026 09:20 AM (edUvp) 330

Well, "abolish the police" would yield something like this. If you, as a normie, is robbed or raped they'd send a social worker to tell you it is your own fault while if someone who is connected was a victim of crime they'd send the men with the guns to deal with it.

— This is fighting the last war. Fraud today isn't stuffing ballots like the old days. The real fraud is pre voting, especially mail in ballots which are sent out to anyone , legal or not. The votes cast are “legal” the way the ballots are created is the illegal part. Election watchers on Election Day won’t stop that. And also as NJ showed there are god knows how many meant illegals registered to vote. Those votes are “legal” and an election day watcher won’t catch that the voter himself is illegal.

>>This is fighting the last war. Fraud today isn't stuffing ballots like the old days.
>>The real fraud is pre voting, especially mail in ballots which are sent out to anyone , legal or not. The votes cast are “legal” the way the ballots are created is the illegal part. Election watchers on Election Day won’t stop that. Probably why the DOJ got a big win on mass mail in voting in the courts. As I said, the DOJ is doing a ton of things on election integrity and has been for a year and a half even if it doesn't get a lot of headlines. What NJ showed is that if a focus is put on forcing states to turn over their voter rolls, which is happening, a lot of crap comes spilling out. The Democrat lead in PA is now down to roughly 25,000 and dropping mainly because Scott Presler is working his ass off to exposed the voter rolls.

Morning, all, and thanks, J.J.
I think most of the Democratic old guard are done. They can be tormented like Schumer or leave on their own terms, like Pelosi, and not be involved in a political munity. But, from what I can gleam, the new breed does not plan on even her having "ideological peace." AI Overview: They are aggressively rewriting the party’s platform away from her brand of center-left incrementalism. In history books and active political debates of the new progressive movement, Pelosi will continue to be framed not just as a historic trailblazer, but as a symbol of the corporate status quo they are fighting to dismantle. Sort of an interesting substack article: Labor Politics, 'Thoughts on the limitations of DSA, the WFP, and our unions after Tuesday's historic election' Let's be honest: none of our organizations are anywhere close to being as deeply rooted in the working class as we need to (or aspire to) be, posted by Eric Blanc, June 2026 And also one of his side notes: "I just spent a fascinating week embedded in a multiracial, Trump-leaning mega-church in the Midwest; can’t wait to share with you all these stories and lessons."

Anyway, back to the article, in part: "Union leaders need to come to terms with the fact that backing old-guard politicians like Espaillat or Cuomo is no longer a risk-averse, pragmatic wager. Even on purely self-interested grounds, savvy union operators should start reading the room. With a possible Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez presidential run looming, the stakes are high."
I thought this also a little troubling: The Nation, 'Establishment Democrats’ Response to DSA’s Electoral Wins Should Be of Concern to Anyone Invested in the Future of Black Politics' Whatever happened to “big tent” politics?, Aug 3, 2026, by Anthony Conwright -- The Working Families Party seeks a robust welfare state & regulated capitalism to tame corporate power. It has slightly more of a coalition building approach w/mainstream and progressive Democrats, labor unions, and community organizing. The DSA seeks to transition away from capitalism, toward a socially owned economy. It's going all out with mass mobilization, political education, and working to build an independent working-class political identity. Whatever.

I've discovered tabletop games.
I'm debating spending way too much money on a multi-toolhead printer so I can print a quarter billion pieces of terrain for games I still don't have time to play, but at least I can feel like I'm making progress in while enough trees to reforest the Sahara print out while I'm dealing with either Day Job(tm) or insomnia.

>I've discovered tabletop games.
Fantasy, SF, or historical? This is kind of my jam. Feel free to ask questions. Allow me to recommend Age of Hannibal, a little indie game that has a brilliant terrain generation system. You have a deck of cards with terrain features on them. You split the deck between the two players. If you have more/better scout units in your force, you get more cards than your opponent. You then take turns laying the cards face down into zones on the table, each card adjacent to either your table edge or another of your cards. Flip them over, and place the appropriate terrain pieces in the zones. The practical effect is that the better your force's scouts, the more you can pick a field of battle advantageous to your force - represented by actually creating that field of battle with your cards.

>>>SpongMonkeys hardest hit.
genius.com The Spongmonkeys are an Internet phenomenon, created by Joel Veitch, that crossed over into television in the form of Quiznos commercials. They appear to be a pair of graphically edited tarsiers with human mouths, and appear on the web at the rathergood.com website. These creatures float in the air in front of a hydrangea bush while singing a song called “We Like The Moon”. One of the Spongmonkeys plays a guitar, while the other sings. The name “spongmonkeys” originated on the B3ta website, where “spong” is a slang term for adding oversized eyes to an image. Posted by: m at August 05, 2026 05:38 AM (odBC9) 35

“Forcibly deporting hundreds of thousands of essential workers means extra dollars at the grocery checkout, the home that costs six figures more to build, the corner store that goes quiet after a raid, the job that disappears when a coworker never comes back to work,” Vanessa Cardenas, executive director of America’s Voice, said in a statement.

Good morning, Hordians. Slaving away at reference checking. I hope to end the day at 5000 of the 6900 needing to be looked at. With the ones so far, about 25% have PDFs of the full journal article available. The more recent the paper the more likely it is to have something. What gets me griped is that I used to have paper copies of most of the older references. But that was in the pre-scanning days and when I left the company I couldn't take them with me; they were a couple of file cabinets worth. Now they're gone, trashed, destroyed.

I've never bothered with the former, and the one time I tried the latter I hated the small view of the area I was driving in, and had a hard time making it cancel. Saying "Stop" isn't good enough.

"they've got a pepper bar" Posted by: cmeat at August 05, 2026 12:59 PM (Bep7s) Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - August 4, 2026 [Doof]![]() From Gritt Monster More misuse of cameras. Not Flock this time - somewhere even more deserving of privacy. Ambulance Worker Sues After Being Fired for Disabling Cameras That Filmed Patients Without Consent An EMT worker, who says she turned off cameras pointed at patients in the back of ambulances, has filed an $800,000 lawsuit – claiming she was fired for protecting the privacy of patients who were unaware they were being filmed. Brittany Martin, a former emergency medical technician for Metro West — which provides ambulance services across Portland, Oregon — filed a wrongful termination lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court against her previous employer last month. According to emergency medical news outlet EMS1, Martin claims that the privately owned ambulance company began installing cameras in late 2025 or early 2026. However, patients were not informed that they were about to be video and audio recorded. Her lawsuit says she believed that these cameras in the patient compartments of ambulances violated Oregon law.Absolutely ridiculous! ----- Here's something you don't see every day! Watch a Monumental Iceberg in Greenland Do a Somersault Greenland, the world’s largest island, is also covered in one of the earth’s two ice sheets. The other cloaks Antarctica. Greenland’s encompasses around 80 percent of the nation’s land mass, spanning more than 650,000 square miles. *** On July 25, a mammoth iceberg literally made waves as it flipped over off the coast of Ilulissat, Greenland. A video taken from town went viral online, and AfarTV, which has a livestream camera set up near the entrance to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ilulissat Icefjord, captured the event in high definition. “Large icebergs can remain grounded or trapped near the mouth of the icefjord while they melt, fracture and become small enough to move into Disko Bay,” AfarTV says. “It is not known precisely when this particular iceberg originally separated from the glacier.” ----- That's a REALLY old bridge! The Oldest Bridge in the U.S. Was Built Before We Were a Country ![]() The oldest bridge in the U.S. is the Frankford Avenue Bridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built in 1697, it has remained in continuous use for more than three centuries, making it the oldest surviving roadway bridge in the United States. Long before America became an independent country, this durable stone crossing helped people travel along one of the colonies' most important roads. Its remarkable longevity isn't just about age. The bridge continues to carry traffic today, connecting the past with the present while showing how thoughtful construction can stand the test of time.More old-ass bridges listed at the link. ----- Good ol' boys know how to get stuff done!

Greenland’s encompasses around 80 percent of the nation’s land mass, spanning more than 650,000 square miles. But it’s also melting at an accelerating rate due to climate change, losing an annual average of 261 gigatonnes—one gigatonne is equivalent to 2.2 trillion pounds—contributing to rising sea levels that impact the rest of the world.

That Falcon 9 2nd stage is going to hit da Moon this morning, time window still around 2:35AM EDT. However, the trajectory has changed to put the estimated impact point just behind the western limb. So, impact point will not be visible from Erf. The dust plume may still be, but not with the nekkid eye, nor binoculars, not anything but a pretty large telescope. Still possible for amateur levels of "big" maybe, but the big pro boys will be watching.

if this is a movie thread, I watched "Soulm8te" a few nights ago. They were trying to do a "Basic Instinct" or "Fatal Attraction" in the m3gan universe. Yes Blumhouse was trying to expand m3gan into an IP. Problem was that m3gan 2 was a deuce at the box office, so Soulm8te ended up not releasing in January like they planned. And then Obsession came out. So Soulm8te got shifted to video-only this week. Anyway, Soulm8te turns out not to be terrible. It is still bad, but maybe just "Maid Droid Origins" bad. Higher budget and marginally better dialog, but a worse script honestly. Also-honestly "Companion" was worse overall in the killer-fembot genre.

Some of you’ns were talking about upgrading iPhone on the previous thread. Mine is getting long in the tooth. I can’t bring myself to pay $800+ for a damn phone. So I’m thinking a good used one.
The current iPhone is a 6 Pro or whatever. I actually bought it through WalMart if not at WalMart. Battery has lasted well for several years now. I’m a little miffed at how long charge cables last, or don’t last. They just sort of die, or become intermittent. It starts to become an annoyance if not expensive. I did notice convenience stores want $25 for a charge cord. Are more modern iPhones cordless charging? How well does that work? Posted by: Common Tater at August 04, 2026 10:27 PM (QC8l5) 64

Very well. Lay the phone on a flat disc (the MagSafe charger) and it charges inductively. Some cars have flat spaces for phones too now. And yeah, getting rid of the charging cable is pretty much the last necessary cable to go. Ive actually been impressed with Apples build quality when it comes to headphone ports and power portsevery other device Ive owned has always started to flake out after a while plugging them in, and the iPhone and iPad havent.

Posted by: Common Tater I just upgraded to an iphone 17 for free, basically. They charge me $35/mo for it and credit my account $35/mo. Don't know why. My previous device was so old it had vacuum tubes in it. You can charge it the normal way with a cord or, like we do, with a magnetic wireless charging pad. It's a bit slower charging than a dedicated cord but since I use the pad during the night, I don't care. Posted by: Tonypete at August 04, 2026 10:33 PM (yz7bn) 83

The grave cleaner reminds me of my sister - she used to do a lot of gravestone rubbing in the 70's and 80's. She once gave me a rubbing of the Suzanna Jayne headstone from Marblehead MA. I had it restored a few years ago and it's in my living room. There's a ton of symbolism going on in it.
The stone itself has been closed off to rubbing for decades due to vandalism. Some asshole chipped off the moon in her right hand before mine got rubbed. Here's a pic: https://tinyurl.com/y746p3vs I think the moon in that pic was added after the fact. I've seen my sister's rubbing... the moon is smaller and recognizable.

Im still a little unclear about locked versus unlocked phones.
Locked means it is locked to a specific carrier. Unlocked means it can be used with any carrier. Only buy locked if you are getting a great deal with that carrier and are sure it will last. Some phones (perhaps all nowadays, but dont quote me on that) can be unlocked after the contract is up. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at August 04, 2026 10:45 PM (kYmoU) 132

I think my hometown was an early adopter of Flock or equivalent. Maybe some juicy fed dollars or something. Has a healthy criminal element and drugs, murder, the usual, so a good candidate for such things.
It’s just something I inferred from the news reports. For some years they would catch these bad guys in their cars or whatever, and it was always “how the hell did they do that”. License plate readers, cameras and some coordination was the only thing that made any sense to me. Posted by: Common Tater at August 04, 2026 10:46 PM (QC8l5) 134

Posted by: Common Tater ======= Locked phones can only be used on the carrier that locked it. New phones are offered as a discount to get new customers in and sometimes are returned or barely used for whatever reason--so they are locked to that network. Unlocked phones cost more but theoretically can be used on any compatible carrier. But used 'unlocked' phones often come with issues--sometimes compatibility, sometimes junk software from the previous carrier, and so on.

The other thing I discovered is that there is no API available that captures a films credit roll as it appeared in the movie, you can get cast and crew information, sometimes it's complete, but for big effects heavy films they don't capture all of the various animators and other esoteric jobs and roles.
I've created a simulated credit roll feature, it's neat but I wanted it to be grander than it is. Posted by: Thomas Bender at August 04, 2026 10:48 PM (XV/Pl) 142

As far as backup, depends on the age of the device but there are programs that can help with downloading it and you can back it up to your Apple account or if Android, to your google account. But there are always kinks when switching to a new phone especially regarding app behavior.

Lobster in champagne sauce.
Thats a good idea. I have some champagne I need to use (it was a gift; I dont generally drink it, although I do like a good mimosa). Didnt occur to me to use it in cooking. Sure enough. Besides lobster in champagne sauce, I see champagne cookies, strawberries in champagne sauce (Ill bet thats good, too), a couple of chickens in champagne sauce. I think Ill skip the lamb kidneys in champagne sauce no matter how much Jacques Pépin likes organ meats. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at August 04, 2026 10:50 PM (kYmoU) 151

I use an app called StopTheScript. I have it set to block all off-site javascript from running. If a site needs it, I can turn javascript back on, on a per-site basis. It costs $6, but its well worth it. Effective and easy to use, and makes me feel a lot safer following links.

Random Dave,
Praying for that job you want, honey. Sometimes the best things in life don't come easy. Like the guy I married who broke up with me (for no reason I always state) three times before he realized I was the one. Or my 30hr labor with 10lb son and c-section. Or losing a house to a nitwit attorney owner who would not budge on roof repair/furnace and AC replacement costs. The only time I shed a tear or two in the long distance move and flying twice to meet with the realtor purgatory. We went on to find a better home and here we are.

He said that oddly it hooked to a tantrum our eldest granddaughter had on the front porch (we have cameras) a year ago. Her little voice clearly, out of the ether, said, "This is my car and I am leaving!" It was pure accident we saw her performance as she's never had a tantrum and that one was funny. She had an imaginary fight with someone and left with her backpack and I'd told her to come inside off the porch. She's crazy.

I'm no computer expert (although that doesn't matter in today's world)...but the only way we are all getting the "before you go" pop-up is because someone hacked the back end of the site. The hacker either exploited any plug-ins running or the platform, itself. They inserted hidden script into the source code.
And, while for us, it's an inconvenience, it may be a bit more egregious for ACE. He should probably run a server security scan, update the plug-ins, and definitely change admin passwords. Posted by: Orson at August 04, 2026 11:13 PM (dIske) 210

Possible, but probably not. The way adservers (usually) work is that you (or in this case, Ace or Pixy) put code in the web page(s) that tells browsers to load javascript or other files from somewhere else. So, the adserver pays Ace (second party) $x (probably per visitorfirst party) to insert this code; then the adserver (third party) sells ads to whoever is willing to pay, and that fourth party provides the ad files. If the adserver isnt careful, the ad files can be malicious. But it wont hurt the server, only the browser. The server never sees the files. Theyre sent directly to the browser.

It's not like you're doing it for a fly by night site or having to trust it's gonna be worth it. You know it's worth it because it's backed by a couple decades of great content.

Posted by: Ben Had Yes. I may have gotten lucky as Babylon DC got almost 2 inches of rain. Only part of the drivers seat got wet, a bit of the floor, nothing major. Dried it out and left the window open a crack. No rain today, mostly sunny, so that helped. Drove around today and didn't notice anything. Didn't even smell damp.

Greenland’s encompasses around 80 percent of the nation’s land mass, spanning more than 650,000 square miles. But it’s also melting at an accelerating rate due to climate change, losing an annual average of 261 gigatonnes—one gigatonne is equivalent to 2.2 trillion pounds—contributing to rising sea levels that impact the rest of the world.

POPUPS ARE EASY TO FIX IN CHROME. 1- Click that funny thing (possibly a lock, possibly two dashes with circles) to the immediate left of the address up there. See where it says acecomments.mu.nu/?and then a bunch of numbers? Right to the left there's a funny thing. Click it. 2- A menu comes up. Click the Site settings gear (probably at the bottom). 3- In the big ol' Permissions box that comes up, look for JavaScript. There's a little down-arrow next to it. Click it. Select Block. That did it for me. Three easy steps. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at August 04, 2026 11:22 PM (mmrXZ) 236

And yet, it hasn't happened. This has been a prediction for over 50 years now (or whenever global warming became the thing, instead of global cooling). In some parts of the world, the landmass is sinking because people insist on building up on land that isn't designed to be built on. That has nothing to do with alleged melting ice caps.

Switched to Brave long ago when the list of websites Firefox couldn't display correctly got longer than the number of sites Brave couldn't do.
There are a couple that I still need Firefox for. Can't pay my water bill with Brave. But as of today Brave (Linux version) is vastly betterer. I had noscript on Firefox to make it tolerable and the Brave adblock works well enough that I haven't even looked for a noscript or script monkey equivalent for Brave.

Over the very long term, Erf oscillates between so-called greenhouse and icehouse states. An icehouse means polar ice caps. Greenhouse has no ice caps. We have been in an icehouse state for the last few million years. The last greenhouse state ended about 34 million years ago. Sea levels were much, much higher. Antarctica has been at the south pole for a long time, and during the last greenhouse state, the climate there was sub-tropical, even down to the pole. What's fascinating is life, both plant and animal, adapted well to the polar day and night cycles. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 04, 2026 11:46 PM (w6EFb) 286

FWIW, I use Opera browser on my Android phone and I never see pop-ups on this site. I didn't even know there were ads on this site. But I have had the blitz of disgusting ads happen to me on other sites, sites that had few if any ads normally. It seems as if I had picked up some nonfatal phone virus. Every time, I would get off the website, close all tabs and app windows, clear all my history on the browser, then go into the inner phone settings and clear the browser cache there. To be extra safe, a few times I rebooted the phone. That always worked for me, though YMMV.

I never really understood, either, why, after skipping an ad, that same ad will come up unskippable a few ad blocks later. Do they think Ill suddenly become interested in this product if forced to watch the ad? Thats not even possible: I have a mute button and a phone to take my attention away from the television for that 30-60 seconds. YouTube ads are stuck in the pre-Internet broadcast television era.

Well, I got around the corner with my wall cladding adventure. Finished the east wall, hung one panel on the north wall. Had to rejigger my hoisting apparatus from "right handed" to "left handed". Will keep it that way for maybe 2 more panels, and then switch back.
Also got two more brake drums turned. May as well continue that, too, as long as I have drums to turn. The machine makes a pass automatically, and then the carriage stops moving when it hits the limit switch. So managing it fits in well with doing other work in the same room.

>> but the change in scale on the X-axis is very jarring.
That also obscures an Interesting Thing that happened about 1 million years ago . Note the Pleistocene is where we settled in a hard Icehouse state. Climate oscillates between glacial and interglacial periods. You'll see temperature is an oscillation imposed on a much longer long term trend. Those oscillations are Milankovitch cycles afoot. Now, before that, the cooling/warmer cycle, which became glacial/interflacia was primarily a 40K year cycle. The oscillation of the earth's axial tilt (obliquity) was the main driver. But about 1 million years ago mid-Pleistocene, that shifted to a 100K cycle of more intense swings. That 100K period is the main harmonic of the earth's eccentricity cycle. The reason for this is still unknown -- several theories, but I don't know if they've ever decided on one. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 12:28 AM (w6EFb) 341
When I had my surgery they promised me a private room. I woke up that evening instead sharing a room with a guy in his 30's or 40's who had cartoons on the TV the entire night at full blast. I was pretty doped up but I remember.
Brit Lass had a word with the head nurse the next day and got me moved to a private room - what can I say, the woman has a way with words, and when she looks at you a certain way, you tend to do the thing she asks you to do. Anyway... the punchline is at some point either in the 24 hours before, during or after my stay with him, the guy they put me in with tried to attack a nurse with something sharp. He was a known "crazy". Thank you, Our Lady of What the Fucking Fuck Hospital! Posted by: ... at August 05, 2026 12:31 AM (vE0+H) 342

Note the Younger Dryas ended the Pleistocene. And the current (so far short) epoch is dubbed the Holocene. Now, question is, is this really a new epoch or just a little interglacial burp. On the Milkanovitch cycle front, we're on a leg of decreasing obliquity and decreasing eccentricity, a combination which means *cooling*.

"Self-harm" is a form of attention-seeking, IMO.
Cutting, for example. Some people are just FUBAR these days! Yes, I may seem unsympathetic, but that's not exactly true. We all have our problems, and some have learned to *deal* better than others. Some days, I'm barely hanging on (emotionally) but I persevere. I don't cut myself or threaten su1cide. Like Dad said: "Life isn't fair. Nobody owes you anything."

Don’t really know who Perez Hilton is, some online personality I suppose. Someone there asked Grok what happened and got this;
“ Perez Hilton livestreamed on TikTok earlier tonight appearing nude, covered in blood, and cutting himself with a knife while saying he wanted to die. The stream was removed and his account suspended. Miami-Dade deputies responded to multiple 911 calls, confirmed he was alone inside after speaking with family, then tactically disengaged while monitoring the mental health crisis. His current condition remains unconfirmed.” Posted by: Tom Servo at August 05, 2026 01:15 AM (Fo91n) Posted by: JQ at August 05, 2026 01:18 AM (rdVOm) Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at August 05, 2026 01:19 AM (79aIp) 373

Oh yes, I've been following that and some of his buddies on that for a while. However, I do not think that could happen. I mean, if it did, we're talking extinction level event stuff. If that happened as recently as they think, well we wouldn't be here today. Second, the physics. The Erf is pretty much settled into rotation about it's maximum moment of inertia (this minimizes energy per angular momentum, the lowest energy state). Any rotating elastic body that can dissipate energy will settle into this maximum inertia state. Now, ignore the core and just consider the moments of inertia of the crust and mantle together. Even that is pretty close to the current north pole. It's a bit different, but not all that much. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 02:28 AM (w6EFb) 414

I've looked at some of there pole flipping models. Well best explain it to make sure. The rotational axis of the earth doesn't change in free space. It's just the crust and mantle shift. This is just extreme polar wander. Anyway, near as I can tell they just model that by a giving a strong kick (like a strong torque) to the mantle/crust, assuming it decouples from the core. Now, where the hell would such a heap big torque come from to do that? And they don't model the inertia of the atmosphere or the oceans, really, just give the crust/mantle a big kick, and then look at what the atmosphere and oceans would do getting dragged along. Something like that would be a dino killing asteroid extinction level event. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 02:33 AM (w6EFb) 418

There are things with that ECDO stuff that they're on to. For example, abyssal ocean heating. That's not surface heating, as the "mainstream" climate bunch like to thing. That's likely coming from the earth itself, some upwelling of heat from inside. And there is fascinating and poorly understood link between the earth's magnetic field, and it how it responds to changes in the mass distributions over the glacial cycles and all that. For example, see the Gothenburg geomagnetic excursion. That happened right along with the Younger Dryas. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 02:59 AM (w6EFb) 426

Goddammed Chicoms lie about this shit for some reason. They claimed the upper stage returned to earth and burned up. But they lied about. They had identified the object and predicted it would collide, but weren't sure of what it was, other than some piece of manmade hardware. They finally figured it out it was the Chicom upper stage. But the Chicoms denied it. And they don't give any info on the mass, size, stucture, etc to help any attempted analysis.

It's clear the Chicoms aren't going to play nice in the space game. That's why we can't let them get any foothold on the Moon. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 04:26 AM (w6EFb) 450
