Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Night ONT - August 12, 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 with Tab. 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 from NASA: Shock waves are visible around a T-38 trainer aircraft during NASA's Air-to-Air Background Oriented Schlieren flights in 2019. Schlieren imaging makes normally invisible changes in air density visible, giving researchers a way to see the same shock waves that can create sonic booms on the ground.]One of the big lessons of the past twenty five years is that the preening self-regard of the laptop class is largely unjustified. There's a lot of ignored wisdom out there. Third, speaking of the laptop class, the press is much, much worse than I thought it was at the beginning of this exercise, and I was pretty skeptical about the press then.Read the whole thing. Heh. Thijs de Buck, an MRI physicist based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, recently posted on Reddit that he built a speed and distance tracker for his hamster's wheel, with the data automatically uploaded to Mollie's own Strava account. Mollie, his 10-month-old hamster, is now committed to logging nightly runs with distance, pace, and time. One recent activity showed 6.06 miles in 4 hours and 37 minutes. The next night, Mollie logged 5.55 miles in 3 hours and 56 minutes. And the little guy's not exactly phoning it in. De Buck said Mollie is averaging almost 10 kilometers per night, with a current record of 10.8 kilometers after the first week of tracking. "I really believe he'll be able to exceed that soon," he said. Mollie also has a weirdly consistent schedule for a hamster. Over one seven-day stretch, he started within the same 10-minute window on five nights, between 9:54 and 10:04 p.m. He tends to run in short bursts, sometimes reaching about 4 to 5 kilometers per hour on the live monitor, then hops off for water. Let's pause a bit and talk about the 'rules' for callsigns. It's rumored that Air Force fighter jocks get to pick their own callsigns... which is where you get things like 'Ripper' and 'Ace' and 'Thor.' Not in the Navy. Callsigns are bequeathed for doing something stupid or memorable. The more you fight the more it sticks. Usually a new guy in a squadron is given something like 'FNG' (Fucking New Guy) or 'New Jack' or 'Don't Speak.' Eventually, someone does something noteworthy, and the King (or Queen) of the JOPA [Junior Officer Protection Agency] calls a kangaroo court known as a 'callsign review board.' ![]() Some of it feels a little like a science class. Some of it feels a little like a technology class. Some of it feels like madness and giggles purely for the sake of having fun. Over 45 million people have watched their video on how a TV works. Their video showing popcorn popping has over 24 million views. Spinning a record to pieces? Spinning a CD to destruction? Paint vibrating on a speaker? Airbag deploy? Camera shutter? They've got it all. When things happen so quickly, we miss what really happens. They've been at it for 15 years and have over 15 million subscribers. This is a favorite: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is no truth to the rumor that TRex is set to be announced as the new White House Press Secretary. Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be promptly be ignored. Are you lurking ???? Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

--- This is absolutely, categorically, and completely false. Air Force callsigns are about puns and embarrassing incidents. A pilot who overshot the runway and ended up in sand is "Baja." Get it?

I'm so old I remember (I was in 7th grade) the original song "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tommy James and the Shondells. I had a transistor radio, man. I liked it. However, I did not understand most lyrics of songs til college as I was still playing sports with boys. I did not know what they were hiding (a slow learner).
I do remember memorizing the Periodic Table in pre-med chemistry with many college boys. Who were apparently as traumatized by the university class as I was as no one asked me out. It remains a mystery, as I was finally ready. Hope you all are well and fighting commies and muzzies daily. Goodnight.

Not in the Navy. Callsigns are bequeathed for doing something stupid or memorable. The more you fight the more it sticks. In my scout troop, the youths set one rule, "Own Your Nickname, We're Not Changing It". One time a scout noted that he had no nickname despite hsving been in the troop for a couple of years. I informed him that one almost always acquired a nickname after having done something extremely stupid. From this, the young man told his mother that "Mr. Krebs thinks I'm smart." "Why is that?" "Because he said you earn a nickname if you do something stupid, and I have no nickname." I told his mother that I never said that he had not done stupid things. What had bappened was, of the many stupid things he had done, none rose to the level of being stupid enough to call down a nickname upon him.

I'm getting back to work in a few minutes. The animals are resting so work can get done. Anyways, this was on Deadline. I hope they make this movie! They need to make this movie! We got screwed out of black Superman. We deserve this. As trans onscreen representation takes a hit in Hollywood, Lilly Wachowski is attempting to make a film with an all-transgender cast… if only the industry will let her. The Matrix co-auteur recently explained that despite some excitement over the script, financiers “really don’t want to make” her dystopian political thriller The Hunted, which is co-written with partner Mickey Ray Mahoney and budgeted at $10 million, due to the film’s “wall-to-wall trans cast.” “People like it, but they really don’t want to make it because it’s wall-to-wall trans cast,” said Wachowski on KCRW’s The Business podcast. “I have to get creative and figure out different ways that I can get this in front of people.” Posted by: Stateless - Keeping 15 year old Ralphy happy and alive.

I'd think that you wouldn't want to lick Lithium at all. Wouldn't the moisture from your tongue make it go 'splody 'splody? Posted by: Darrell Harris Sure, it might, or at least burst into flame, in addition to giving you one hell of a tongue burned by caustic. Thing is, though, reactive metals like the alkalis are stored in an oil to stop them being exposed to air or water, so you'd have to contend with that gustatory delight first and foremost, as it would coat the metallic morsel.

One of the most unique call signs for a Naval aviator had to be Pager 'ROT' Page.
One night he had to land a Turkey at Moffett Field near San Francisco in horrible weather. On final a wind shear grabbed hold of his plane and only by going to full burners was he able to save himself and the plane. The base commander duly got an angry letter in the mail from a regular complainer demanding to know 'when will this Reign of Terror' will end? The angry letter was forwarded to Page's CO. So his callsign became ROT. Posted by: Anna Puma at August 12, 2026 10:37 PM (2GVsD) 107

Vintage Pyrex is made of Borosilicate glass, and is suitable for use from 400° oven to table top.

If you lick Hg, I doubt it would react with common tongue gunk, and because of its high surface tension, it probably won't stick. Just don't swallow it. Between licking sessions, keep your stash in a tightly sealed container, so as not to breathe the vapor.
I don't think elemental S would harm you. It's not acutely toxic, and it's indigestible AFAIK. I doubt it tastes like much of anything. Posted by: gp at August 12, 2026 10:46 PM (Jr5Lq) 126

It's rumored that Air Force fighter jocks get to pick their own callsigns...
Not entirely. Real callsigns are assigned - albeit less formally - by others. Sometimes they get assigned right out of pilot training*. Some people manage to not do anything ... notable after that. Others get picked up for being an oddball or quirky**. And not just pilots, but crewmembers and anyone pilot-adjacent. Now, some people are lame enough they do pick their own. Nobody cares enough to assign them one. Nobody socializes enough with them to see the sorts of social faux pas that often lead to them. (* "Flame-face" Martin. Yes, there was alcohol involved.)

Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at August 12, 2026 10:57 PM (Cqx++) I forget. It might just be something that sits at too high a temperature for too long? I would say Brit Lass's beeswax went considerably higher than 212. I recall reading some things were worse than others. It's also bad luck because it has to do with existing bubbles in the glass. I personally wouldn't heat anything in pyrex in the microwave for very long. Posted by: ... at August 12, 2026 11:03 PM (vE0+H) 163

Old Pyrex is great. New Pyrex is shit.
They are using a different kind of sand or something now. A few years ago I bought new Pyrex to cook Christmas Eve dinner. Took it out of the oven and it exploded.

Lower case(sort of sloppy font) label is American and cheap need it up.years ago using tempered "regular" glass.

I had 2 c-sections and remembered all the nurse teaching I gave. 1) You will be asked to take deep breaths and cough to rid lungs of remnant anesthesia gunk. Brace your belly with a pillow and hold it. You need to do this to prevent pnemonia. Also use the incentive spirometer. You don't realize how much you use your abdominal muscles when you sneeze. Brace, baby, brace with that pillow for a few days as it helps. 2) The first time you get out of bed it will hurt. After that not as bad. Keep moving and it gets better daily. You will do well and I want to hear how well you are doing. XXXX Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 12, 2026 11:26 PM (hzuYO) 211

It might've been better if Wong had won, from the standpoint of the GOP picking up that seat.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon Dad had to have his wedding band cut off after a (home) shop incident-- smashed his hand somehow-- OUCH! At work, the mechanics weren't allowed rings of any kind. Line workers, only wedding rings. No one was allowed other jewelry like watches, bracelets or necklaces. (Some of the younger brats employees defied the rules with their "body jewelry" and got away with eyebrow rings and snotrings and nose-studs. Ick.) Posted by: JQ at August 13, 2026 12:37 AM (rdVOm) I wore my wedding ring for one week. I was coming down a ladder and there was a #8 finishing nail sticking out of a 2x4 and it slipped under the ring. Had I decided to hop off the ladder at that instant, as I usually did, it would have ripped my finger off. Never wore any kind of ring after that, no jewelry of any kind, not even a watch. I knew an electrician who had his ring hit a wire and burned through his finger. Yeah, no bling here. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at August 13, 2026 12:44 AM (S41Gd) 339
Well, the lazy fiberglass resin on my dune buggy body did eventually harden overnight. At least it had gelled, and gotten some body to it. I made a few passes with a heat gun, which helped a lot, and then mixed some hardener with acetone, and brushed it on, which I think ended the surface tackiness. I bought some more hardener today, and both areas need another layer of mat anyway, so that should fix things up.

As for rings, I only wear a plain gold wedding band.
My knuckles are large from working with my hands all my life. My hands are really... not pretty IMO and so I'd rather not call attention to them with fancy rings anyway. (Not that the rings would stay "upright" on my fingers.) Posted by: JQ at August 13, 2026 12:48 AM (rdVOm) 344

I really hate seeing almost everybody walking blindly down the path, glued to their fucking phones. I do keep my phone with me (in case I have a heart attack or something), but I do not carry it in my hand while walking. People! Enjoy the outdoors. Feel the sun, and the breeze. Listen to the birds. Chirp at the skwerls. Nod at passersby. And, lest you think I am yelling at the younger folks, I see people my age doing the same damn thing. Definitely near the top of my pet peeve list.

Wudu is typically performed before Salah or reading the Quran. Activities that invalidate wudu include urination, defecation, flatulence, deep sleep, light bleeding (depending on madhhab), menstruation, postpartum status, and sexual intercourse.
Since they pray five times a day, and can't have an invalid wudu, that must mean no Afternoon Delight. So the only whoopie is Midnight at the Oasis? Posted by: Duncanthrax at August 12, 2026 08:10 PM (0sNs1) 43

The releases of information are not being conducted in real time. These were held back. If you work in the business, you know that. Trump has been holding back a ton of this stuff to completely derail Dem momentum in the midterms. Everyone wringing their hands over oil or Iran are just fools.

I do not want to excuse the abusers of language - Lord knows I love to beat up the English a bit myself - but apparently it's because someone thought flout was itself a corruption of flaunt because they saw someone breaking a rule one time "ostentatiously". To make matters worse this mistake became codified somewhere along the way as a tolerable one. But the wrong word, however similar, is not a tolerable substitute for the right word. And honestly I don't give a shit about most other wrong words or word orders or spellings. English is supposed to be fun. It's just when someone flouts this particular one, I believe they do so ostentatiously. Posted by: ... at August 12, 2026 09:14 PM (vE0+H) 151

News from my day. I had a reason to pay a visit to the West Marine store in Rehoboth Beach, DE this afternoon to acquire a replacement fire extinguisher for our watercraft. Imagine my surprise to enter the store only to encounter it in a going out of business sale. The two guys staffing the checkout area said the company had filed for bankruptcy recently. It was extremely likely that all of its stores were closing or would be doing so soon. "We're long since sold out of fire extinguishers." I got the replacement somewhere else.

I've probably told this story before, but don't really care.
When he was about a year old, I kept trying to get him 'thinking toys'. He solved every one so quickly it was slightly creepy. Then I found one. It was a bottle with the screw end on the large end (the bottle looked kind of like a milk bottle.) In the small open end there was a rope inserted in the neck of the bottle. The idea being you filled the bottle up with treats, the dog would pull on the rope or swing the bottle around and get treats one or two at a time. So I fill the bottle up and set the toy down in front of Ajax. He gets down and just stares at it. Sniffs both ends and just stares some more. Wheels turning furiously. I turn around thinking 'got you.' Then about 5 mind later I hear munching. Turn around in my chair and there is Ajax with a pile of treats in front of him, pigging out. The bottle half empty beside him. Intact. And im like 'Whaaaaa'. He just wagged his tail at me. Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at August 12, 2026 09:56 PM (zZu0s) 200

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at August 12, 2026 09:39 PM (NrCWn) I have only ever had one "pure bred" dog. He was an amazing terrier, but downright odd. Not stupid, but driven, in the silly way terriers tend to be. I have had many mutts, some were (are) idiots and some ridiculously intelligent dogs. The two I have now are Alaskan sled dogs, which means a mix of Siberian husky, probably some lab, probably some German shepherd, sometimes a little bit of wolf depending on the dog yard they bred in, and sometimes something else. They are bred for speed and endurance, and for sleeping in the snow below zero. One sister is crafty and curious, the other is a complete idiot, but loyal in her stupidity. They look similar, except that one about 10 lbs bigger than the other. They are both fast and can run forever. Breeding isn't just for "pure breed" conformance. Sometimes it is for other reasons.

So I am wondering how he did it. Because I cannot quite figure it out. The screw end is intact. The rope end is intact.
So I fill it back up and put it down in front of him again. Sat down in my chair and turned around but kept glancing over my shoulder. He turned the bottle around so it was laying on his front legs, small end away from him. He then grasped the big end in his mouth. Then shook the bottle up and down, spilling the treats out in a small pile . I stopped trying to buy him 'thinking toys' because I realized it was just insulting for us both.

Coach also claimed she didn't react immediately because she didn't see it in real time, which is a blatant lie. There are photographs showing her looking right at the play in real time. Additionally, the big screen showed the replay several times while it was under review. Coach had many opportunities to see that her player got mugged, and respond accordingly.

I’m a woman and in no way resemble this twat who nurtures a wasp nest in her office. Ace, I’d like you to know that I installed a gravestone today in our church cemetery. Does that sound like I’m the same as this twat that nurtures a f’ing wasp nest? Time for another cocktail.

The media is going to run with Hong’s loss, but don’t forget that we just destroyed Angie Craig in MN! (Peggy Flanagan wins with 59%) I'M READY TO BE FUCKING PEGGED THIS NOVEMBER BABY. She wasn't polling nearly as well and she went belt to ass on Craig. Good shit. Hong was a disappointing outcome, but selfishly, MN had a pretty good night. Sounds like CT had some small wins too. Hong will be back, she's incredible talented. Honestly I want her in Congress instead of Governor. I think she's more suited for the role anyway. She's got 2 years to build a stronger movement. She could absolutely skullfuck RoJo here in WI. Hopefully she addresses any weaknesses from this race and throws her hat in there. Last night the DSA candidates won 14 of 19 state legislature seats that were contested across NH, CT, and MN. Hardly an L just because Hong barely lost. Progress takes time and she was a big reach. Still nothing to be discouraged about, just learn from her campaign and do better next time. DSA was only 6k people when Trump was first elected. The momentum is here. This was just one election.

Sad thing is Dems got a much bigger turn out in WI than R's did, so those here are probably screwed anyway.
Posted by: Bete at August 12, 2026 06:46 PM (LX4y3) --- Probably more contested races. The GOP vote in Michigan was much less than the Dems but there were very few serious elections. Some weirdo spent a gazillion dollar trying to defeat John James but still got blown away. Meanwhile the Dems were having a knife fight in the senate race, and lots of activity downballot as well. Basically the DSA types are making a play to take over the party, and so that's driving up primary turnout. The GOP has pretty much purged its Never Trump faction, so things are quieter.

At the old house (concrete, 1920s-1930s), we had a lot of wasps getting in every year. Mud-daubers. Not aggressive. Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.
Brother (RIP) lived there a while, I lived there later for years. Regular friends all knew the rules, but newbies seeing wasps inside would freak out, jump up, wave their arms around, and zing! It had its amusing aspects. This year, we've been rehabbing the place, sealing all the holes and securing against critters. There were gaping gaps in the ceiling of the front porch (about 40'x4'). Tearing the whole ceiling down, there were several pounds of old mud-dauber nests. Also a lot of snake skins. All those poor, poor wasps. Border Security has changed. Should be a little less varmit invasion now. Posted by: mindful webworker - be kind to our winged insect friends at August 12, 2026 06:58 PM (B18Qw) 63

Women are broken, including activist women judges:
https://tinyurl.com/2pmsadcf An activist judge appointed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom freed a criminal illegal immigrant just a day before he allegedly butchered a retiree to death in his front yard. Contra Costa Superior Court Judge Nichelle Holmes released Marcos Iriarte-Valdez, 36 — a criminal alien who also holds citizenship in Spain — just before Iriarte-Valdez allegedly fatally stabbed Todd Stewart, 68, at Stewart’s Martinez home last week. Iriarte-Valdez, who has been in the US since 2007, was already in trouble with the law and was granted pretrial release by Holmes for a residential burglary case when he was jailed last Tuesday for allegedly violating the terms of his home detention monitoring.

Wudu is the procedure for cleansing parts of the body, a type of ritual purification by ablution, in Islam. The steps of wudu are: washing the hands, rinsing the mouth and nose, washing the face, then the forearms, then wiping the head and ears, then washing or wiping the feet, done in order without any long breaks between them.
Wudu is an important part of ritual purity in Islam and is governed by fiqh, which specifies hygienical jurisprudence and defines the rituals that constitute it. Ritual purity is called tahara. Wudu is typically performed before Salah or reading the Quran. Activities that invalidate wudu include urination, defecation, flatulence, deep sleep, light bleeding (depending on madhhab), menstruation, postpartum status, and sexual intercourse. Wudu is often translated as 'partial ablution', as opposed to ghusl, which refers to 'full ablution', where the whole body is washed. An alternative to wudu is tayammum 'dry ablution', which uses clean sand or dust in place of water due to complete water scarcity or when one is suffering from moisture-induced skin inflammation or illness.

Posted by: buddhaha at August 12, 2026 09:40 PM (drwAN) Tyler Robinson's Defense Team: Yes, Our Client Shot and Killed Charlie Kirk, But "The Shooter Hit the Intended Target," So No One Else Was In Danger and So the Death Penalty Should Be Off the TableTo get the death penalty, there must be an enhancement to "mere" murder. I would think that premeditated murder is enhancement enough, but in Utah, mistakenly regarded as a red state, you need to murder someone in a bad way. Those "bad ways" of committing murder include putting additional people in danger or killing someone for a political motive. Robinson's team concedes that he murdered Charlie Kirk -- I mean, he admitted it eleven times in texts and verbal admission to his parents. But they say his shot was well-aimed and did not put anyone else in danger, so he should not be executed for his murder.NBC "News:" Lawyers for the man charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk say he shouldn't be eligible for the death penalty because the shooter "hit the intended target" during the assassination last year at a Utah event attended by thousands of people. Defendant Tyler Robinson's attorneys say prosecutors have not proven that others who attended Kirk's event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10 were endangered by the shooting -- a potentially aggravating factor under state law that would make it a capital crime. ... Utah law states that if a defendant "knowingly created a great risk of death to another individual" other than the victim who was killed, it can be used as an aggravating factor. But Robinson's defense team notes that the state needs to show there was a "high probability" that Robinson put the thousands of people gathered at the Turning Point USA rally where Kirk was speaking at risk for death, and not just a "possibility" of that happening. "The state has failed to show that the actual conduct created a 'high probability' that someone other than Mr. Kirk would be killed and, thus, this theory fails as a matter of law," according to their briefing. "Where no other person was injured in a manner creating a great risk of death, and no other shots were fired, the allegation of ... (an) aggravator cannot be sustained." Defense attorneys contend there was no one else in the "line of fire" when the fatal shot was fired. Furthermore, "the firing of a single shot at an intended victim that hit only the intended victim" is not an aggravating factor "merely because other people were in the vicinity."... "The bullet that struck and killed Mr. Kirk was not fired in an enclosed bedroom or space but rather, an open-air arena with what the state's witnesses termed, 'a clear line of sight.' There were no threats to others in the course of conduct. There was no one 'directly' next to Mr. Kirk when he was shot, and there was no one under the tent on the side that Mr. Kirk was struck or behind him in the breezeway. Multiple shots were not fired. There were no ricocheting bullets."They also claim there is no evidence that Robinson murdered Charlie Kirk for political reasons... despite Robinson marking his bullets with slogans indicating this was a Trans Vengeance Execution. Now, it may occur to you that this is rather bad news for the world's stupidest narcissist Candace Owens. But if you believe that, then you have kept admirably clean of information about Candace Owens. This retard says the defense's admission that Robinson murdered her "best friend" Charlie Kirk hardly puts a scratch in her Grand Theory That Erika Kirk, French Intelligence, Egyptian Planes, Mormon Bee-People and of course The Jews Killed Charlie Kirk. Candace OwensAs the announcer said of one of the candidates for Twit of the Year: "He doesn't know the meaning of 'losing.' He doesn't know the meaning of 'winning,' either, he has no sensory apparatus of any kind..."

I am wholly uninterested in any news about Owens that doesn't start and end with "indicted" and/or "committed".
As for Utah's law, that's a bold take. As I read it, assassinations of private citizens should be fine. If you miss and brain some other bystander, that's an accident and you also didn't murder the target. If you don't miss, yeah it sucks you killed that one guy you naughty naughty boy, go into timeout, in the penalty box where you feel shame, you know. But if you kill someone important like a pro-amnesty GOP guy, that might cause chaos, so it's death for you. Posted by: 88C+u at August 12, 2026 05:51 PM (88C+u) 20

The faux dismissive arrogance combined with pre-emptive accusations that her opponents are always lying is her standard operating procedure. It's also kinda like what professional wrestlers do to work the crowd, which is what Candace reminds me of these days.

Utah is wild, man. Posted by: FeatherBlade His lawyers are trying to spare his life, they have no reason, unlike Candace who is making money from the lies, to spout off bullshit in court that is likely to end up with them losing and possibly being disbarred. So you make an argument within the confines of the law (this was probably designed for crimes of passion where one person was targeted) that no other person was likely at risk. Candace likely wanted the defense to have bullshit artists like Robert Barnes or Mike Avenatti that make bold exaggerations in the media that they cannot back up in court.

It's so thoroughly disgusting that instead of Kirk's murder uniting the Right, somehow it deeply divided us all over some stupid washed personality that wanted to make a name for herself.
A gay, furry freak has confessed to basically everyone that yes he did it, the shooting is on video, even his parents turning him in, all sorts of other evidence, etc. But really it was Mossad!

It's also kinda like what professional wrestlers do to work the crowd, which is what Candace reminds me of these days.
A character, acting out a part, saying anything she has to to get by one more week and bring in the clicks and cash before her audience gets bored and moves on the next big thing. Posted by: SpeakingOf She got paid for lying at an early age and so learned it can be profitable for a psychotic bitch that has no truth in her.

Yes, my client was accurate in killing the target he was aiming at so he should not get the death penalty because he was accurate with his rifle in committing cold blooded murder.

...if a defendant "knowingly created a great risk of death to another individual" other than the victim who was killed, it can be used as an aggravating factor...
It...kind of makes sense, I guess. There's a reason we have things like manslaughter, second degree murder, 1st degree, etc. Spraying bullets into a crowd, or using a large explosive device, to kill one specific person, even if you only hit the intended target, is worse than killing them when they're alone and no one else is at risk. Charlie, as I recall, had people all around him, though, and the bullet was a powerful rifle cartridge that could reasonably be expected to pass through the target, with a changed trajectory, and ricochet off the ground. Is that enough threat to innocent bystanders to meet the threshold? It's a good legal question.

I am wholly uninterested in any news about Owens that doesn't start and end with "indicted" and/or "committed".
As for Utah's law, that's a bold take. As I read it, assassinations of private citizens should be fine. If you miss and brain some other bystander, that's an accident and you also didn't murder the target. If you don't miss, yeah it sucks you killed that one guy you naughty naughty boy, go into timeout, in the penalty box where you feel shame, you know. But if you kill someone important like a pro-amnesty GOP guy, that might cause chaos, so it's death for you. Posted by: 88C+u at August 12, 2026 05:51 PM (88C+u) there was the joke in the Steve Martin movie The Jerk that when he is crowing about getting in the phone book it cuts to an assassin picking his name at random out of the phone book and coming to kill the "Random SOB".

The Utah prosecutors have at least 3 aggravated theories to justify the death penalty. First is the one that Ace is mentioning: putting others in danger. The whole "He was a good shot and killed who he was aiming at, no one else so no death penalty!" is a novel defense idea.
The second one the prosecutors have is something about endangering kids or making them watch it or something. Lots of kids in the audience watched Charlie die. The defense argues that "Well, it was a college campus! How could Robinson know kids might be there?" The third one is the political/trans angle: Robinson killed Kirk because of his political views. Defense argues that there is not enough evidence of that one so Robinson shouldn't be put to death for that. All of these are weak defense theories, but they have to argue something I guess. But no, the prosecution has more than one arrow in their quivers here. Posted by: SimoHayha at August 12, 2026 06:06 PM (IeYnM) 88
73 ... but in Utah, mistakenly regarded as a red state, you need to murder someone in a bad way.
Don't blame Utah for this, it was a Scotus ruling that restored the Death Penalty, Gregg v. Georgia, where they only allowed death penalty statutes on the basis that the penalty had to be imposed only if specific aggravating circumstances showing the murder was somehow worse than regular murders including murder for money, murder for politics, for sexual depravity, drug dealing, etc. etc. around the murder occurred. The jury (some states used judges before Ring v. Arizona required only a jury to impose a death sentence) was to take into account ALL aggravating facts and mitigating facts (which are not to be limited by statute) into account before imposing the sentence.

109 That it was a political assassination is clear. What other motive could he have for murdering a political figure in cold blood?
Posted by: steevy ======== Lawyers for the defense are compelled to put the best defense that they can before the court. The mass of evidence precludes trying the old SODDI or TODDI defense--some other dude did it or the other dude did it. I suspect that we are going to see, if Furry asshole is called as a prosecution witness, that the defense will make it like Tyler was besotted and manipulated into killing-so the motive was love, not political hatred.

"50. I thought lying in wait and stalking were special circumstances. Likewise political assassination, which this clearly was."
Neither lying in wait nor stalking are aggravating factors in Utah. Nor was the victim law enforcement or a public official, which Utah law does have as aggravators. The prosecutors have charged the one factor that fits, while the defense says there are not enough grounds. I wonder just how many rounds were left in the rifle, and isn't that sufficient evidence of posing grave danger to others around the victim? Just a thought.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at August 12, 2026 06:31 PM (ZOv7s) Yeah, Prussia and Hannover were owned by major powers and thus somewhat insulated from the kind of stresses that spark emigration. There were revolts and civil wars in 1848 that sparked an urgent need to leave the scene for many, who then came to the US and fought in the ACW. A German District in Cincy was called 'Over the Rhine' because it was across a canal and had lots of Germans. Posted by: Oldcat at August 12, 2026 06:36 PM (uhVAy) 199

Foreknowledge isn't the same as predestination. Foreknowledge is knowing something will occur. Predestination is making something occur. The classic formulation: God knows all things perfectly. God knows X will happen. Therefore X will happen. (necessity of the consequence) It does not follow that you could not have done otherwise. (necessity of the consequent) God's knowledge tracks what free agents will freely do. It doesn't force the choice. Posted by: bonhomme at August 12, 2026 06:38 PM (mkw2N) 208

Felt recoil is a function of Newtonian physics. The weight of the bullet, the powder charge, the weight of the rifle, and the frequency of the recoil impulse all affect the experience. Shoot a 30-06 in a Garand weighing ten pounds with range ammo--150 gr at 2700 is not horrible in part because the gas operation lessens the recoil impulse. Fire it in a six pound bolt action 18-20 inch barrel rifle and using 160's or 170's bullets, it can be unpleasant.
The fit of a rifle and how much you work out makes a difference too. Heavy muscles in the shoulder can help shield and cushion the recoil impact and the rifle butt of the stock means x amount of energy is applied over x amount of surface area contacting the shoulder. Fatter stock, greater dispersion of force on the shoulder, thin and small stock butt, much more unpleasant. Then we have rifle butt pads--none or steel, you best have a firm hold on the rifle cause woo boy it can pound. Put a thick recoil pad or a shooters jacket. Much less. I find 30-06 in a decently weighted rifle more pleasant in recoil than firing 12 gauge slugs from a shotgun, ceteris paribus. Posted by: whig at August 12, 2026 06:41 PM (E4rtv) 221

Through Endless Lawfare Or We're Moving The Entire Multibillion Dollar Corporation to a Different StateCalifornia's taxation alone would make the move a good one -- Paramount pays an extra $500 million in taxes every year solely due to the excessive taxes California levies on them. They have the idea they can tax and bully as much as they like because hey, what are you going to do, leave California? They don't seem to have noticed that a ton of tax-rich corporations have already done just that.David Ellison Reportedly Sets October 1 Deadline to Move Paramount Out of California Over Warner Bros. Lawsuit The escalating battle over Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery may now threaten something much larger than the merger itself: Hollywood's century-old position as the center of the American entertainment industry. Paramount CEO David Ellison has reportedly told his top executives that he is prepared to move the company out of California if the state's attorney general, Rob Bonta, refuses to negotiate a settlement in the lawsuit seeking to block Paramount's roughly $110 billion Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition. And according to a bombshell new report from Puck's Matthew Belloni, Ellison has put an actual date on the threat. October 1. Belloni reports that Ellison recently gathered Paramount's 12-member Executive Leadership Team for a meeting on the Paramount lot, where the CEO laid out what could become one of the most consequential corporate relocations in Hollywood history.Paramount would be the first mover here. Many other entertainment companies have surely considered leaving California, but they are stopped by fears that "it simply isn't done." Once Paramount proves it can be done, there would be a rush of companies leaving. .... For decades, states including Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee have attempted to take pieces of Hollywood away from California. California may now be giving one of Hollywood's most powerful executives a reason to hand them something much bigger. October 1 suddenly looks like one of the most important dates on Hollywood's calendar. In other Failures of Hollywood news, Jessica Gao, the woke incompetent who was made the showrunner of "She-Hulk" as a pure DEI move, hasn't worked much since she spent $200 million on what ultimately turned out to be the World's Most Expensive Twitter Diss on the CHUDs. She probably won't be given such power again. I'm not sure she "wrote" the episode as most people would think of "writing" something. TV shows have a showrunner, who acts as the main writer, and a writers room, all of whom contribute jokes and "beats" to a story. A specific person is assigned to "write" it but they're largely compiling what came out of the writers room. Who knows, maybe this was her idea and maybe she did write the episode mostly by herself. But I don't think that's how TV writing actually works. That's why they say she's the "credited writer." She got the credit, yeah, but we don't know how much she was responsible for. Harmon subsequently agreed to host a podcast with Gao titled Whiting Wongs. Friedman described it as "40 hours of him apologizing and learning about racism."This is and always was a dumb idea and it's what makes me think she wasn't really the main writer on "Pickle Rick." This is the kind of thing a n00b thinks is funny. Not only did she think this Basic Bitch idea was super-funny, she was actually willing to die on that hill. She actually quit the show to get this "joke" included. "I was incensed, and in this big meeting, in front of like 20 people, I said, 'Kevin, if you don't let me put a hat on that robot, then I quit,'" Gao told The Hollywood Reporter. Rather than backing down, Feige immediately appeared to accept her resignation. "Thank you very much, Jessica," he replied. "You've done some great work for us, and we really appreciate everything."Unfortunately a producer worked out a compromise where the stupid robot would have a mechanical brim over its eyes that looked sort of hat-like and she got to stay on the show.

I like the CA Post Editorial Board take:
Bonta needs to stop stalling, grandstanding and politicizing the proposed Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. merger. And he needs to do it now. The federal government in June approved the union. Bonta, on the other hand, has led a group of 12 blue-state attorneys-general who’ve moved to block the pairing, or delay it long enough to let a future US president intervene. While Bonta, et al, insist their stance is legal and not political, why is it then that only Democratic AGs have sued to stop the deal? Is the problem, for these partisans, really that industry consolidation would hurt consumers? (As if this litigious, tax-dollar-wasting group has a care for the average Joe.) Or is it that Paramount CEO David Ellison is seen by some as Trump-friendly? The horror. Here we have a Hollywood executive who doesn’t march in lockstep with Democrats. (Or Republicans, really.) To keep such an undesirable from gaining more reach, is Bonta willing to blow up Hollywood? Posted by: beckster at August 12, 2026 04:41 PM (kX27y) 22
On a related note, yesterday I used Grok to make a 30 second Godzilla-style monster movie of our miniature dachshund and two cats destroying LA that was better than anything put out by Hollywood since Project Hail Mary.

Didn't he JUST have an Op-Ed in the NYT where he said he's misunderstood and a nice guy? He sounds like Gul Dukat.
Whatever these nepo tech lords say in public is only the tip of the iceberg. It’s just the usual spin to blame CA government for what they’ve been planning to do all along with no oversight. Nothing says negotiating in good faith like agreeing to a trial date and then trying to threaten people into settling a week later. Good fucking luck to him convincing talent to come shlep all the way to Texas or Florida to collaborate with their executives. There’s a reason industries cluster in certain geographic regions. Byyyeeeee (Intrepid- Katie Wilson?) This eally sucks. They have is by the short hairs. No good options but relent. Do these people not hear themselves when they say this stupid shit?

Canada has been taking business away from Hollywood for decades too. A LOT of very popular shows were made here thanks to a cheaper dollar.
I did read a lot of comments on Deadline from people very upset about the loss of jobs and less Hollywood content. Which is horrible because where will be get all of our shows lecturing us how to think. And since 'She-Hulk' was mentioned, Amazon Prime still had 'Stargirl' which was on the CW and was a LOT of fun.

Larry Ellison should just buy Cuba, and move Paramount there. It has a lot of things he likes: sunshine, cheap labor, and he'd get to right the legal code.

While I would love to see Paramount move out of CA, the fact is that there aren't many places on earth, much less the US, that have SoCal's weather. Talent can move, and states would fall over themselves coming up with an attractive enough tax package to make it worthwhile, but most other locations in the US are either too cold in the winter (Northeast), or too hot in the summer (TX), or have hurricane risks (FL, LA, NC).
The other thing I'd be very concerned about - especially if I were a Red Stater - is that these locusts would take their voting patterns with them. If they moved to NC, for instance, that state might as well become a Blue State. Posted by: Darrell Harris at August 12, 2026 05:14 PM (0CU3H) 172

California Attorney General Rob Bonta officially led the coalition of 12 Democrat attorneys general in filing the antitrust lawsuit last month, arguing that the transaction would reduce competition in the entertainment industry.

The DNC (the masters of Bonta and the State AG's) depend on a shallow pool so that they can influence the product to reflect their agenda (political views).

Kevin Feige let She-Hulk get way out of hand.
The fact that he allowed them to make the finale all about him as an evil robot controlling the universe says it all. He should have fired Gao and her entire crew once he realized they couldn't even give him the courtroom lawyer gal show he'd ask for. Just letting them wing it and make it up as they went along for an entire season of shows should have gotten him fired. I think everybody can say for sure that Marvel was headed for disaster once She-Hulk came out and that's all on Feige. Apparently it's very difficult to get fired at Disney no matter how much money you lose for the company. Take Kathleen Kennedy as the most glaring example. The only executive they wanted to fire was the former short-lived CEO who got fired for backing down over the fight in Florida against DeSantis. Hollywood should be broken up and scattered to the winds. It stinks as bad as the Democrat party it's a subsidiary of.

Funny thing about Sherman. After Georgia, after sparing Charleston. After Columbia, he made a deal and Lincoln had to tell him that he did not have the authority to grant such generous terms.
Posted by: no one of any consequence at August 12, 2026 05:45 PM (qFwJc) There is a funny story about that first 'surrender terms' that Sherman passed the bottle around to Joe Johnson and another General there. As he was writing the last part he absent mindedly took a second drink himself and put it away in his pocket. The second Reb general was livid after the incident that he didn't get a second shot. "General Sherman is a HOG! That's right, a HOG! He knew we needed that drink!" Posted by: Oldcat at August 12, 2026 05:49 PM (uhVAy) 262

Posted by: Daniel Ream at August 12, 2026 10:06 PM (LgYtf) The FBI and "Intelligence" Agencies Had Intel From 14 Different Sources About the Biden Family's Corruption. Wray Covered It Up and Claimed It Was All "Disinformation"Christopher Wray was recommended to Trump by Super-Republican Chris Christie. So you know he's a straight shooter.By the way: 0xferd Comma was spelled that way -- with an "e" instead of an "o" and a zero instead of a capital "O" so that investigators could not find references to it in emails and government servers. It was deliberately misspelled so that no evidence of the crime could be discovered through normal investigatory means. That Task Force was run by the leftwing woman who admitted she was running a "shadow government" inside the one that the American people think is the real government. Paul Sperry says that the criminal Chris Wray was behind this corrupt effort: Paul SperryFormer Trump advisor and Deep State target Peter Navarro says we have to put all the conspirators under oath and compel them to admit the conspiracy or go to prison for perjury and obstruction. On May 16, 2017, the FBI took one of the most extraordinary steps in its history: It opened a full investigation of the sitting American president. Newly declassified documents released by the White House say the bureau asked whether the president "is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with" Vladimir Putin's Russia -- and whether he "obstructed and/or conspired to obstruct" the FBI's own investigation. That the FBI had targeted President Trump was reported in 2019. What was missing was the paperwork -- the opening document, the names on it, the chain of command.Meanwhile, "Fusion Ken" Dilanian, a stenographer and PR manager for the leftwing conspiracy at the heart of the CIA, says that Trump is running the DOJ like "Russia and China" for investigating the people he works for.

----- Isn't this standard practice for the government when they want to conceal something from FOIA requests? The standard method would be to search for properly spelled words (and maybe common alternate misspellings). They go out of their way to obscure the keywords in documents so that they will only turn up in a deliberate search by those who "need" those documents AND know how to find them already.

late here bc work is crazy but on the last thread, one thing I wanted to say
I knew doctors who were deeply against abortion. BUT to be part of a hospital system as an ob/gyn that was a requirement (willingness to perform abortions at the level the hospital does). I knew excellent ob/gyns who had to switch to just gyn because of this, or move to a Catholic hospital, or just retire. It's been this way since before O-care btw. doctors are heavily pushed to do this against their morals Posted by: Black Orchid (j+aD2) at August 12, 2026 03:31 PM (j+aD2) 13

I think we all agree Trump made a lot of bad hiring decisions. My theory is he trusted too many establishment types - starting with Pence. At the time, we thought it would be a good way for Trump to "grease the skids" as he got involved with DC politics. We all know now they took his outstretched hand holding an olive branch and shoved it up our squeaker. Sadly we still have too many of those establishment types left in DC.

I think about this when the left is shrieking about how corrupt Trump is, how he's a dictator, how he's abusing the office.
Well. Not enough, he isn't--because you're not proposing to reduce the size, scope and reach of the federal government to stop it. No. You want the tools of corruption, bribery and abuse of office--that you're accusing Trump of abusing--to stay in place for when you ever get back to power. If Trump really was 1/100 as bad as you claim he is, you'd be screaming for laws reducing the size, scope and reach of the federal government--to stop him and anyone like him ever again.

I think, on balance, maybe during WWII was the last time the federal government was working for the American people.
But somewhere soon after, probably the late 60s, it tipped over to largely working against the American people. A trend that accelerated under Obama and, by Biden, saw nearly the whole of the federal government actively working against the American people.

Unless the administration has some idea other than running these people through the existing judicial ringer, this is going to waste a lot of people's time.
The existing judiciary is squarely on the left's side. These people are too important for them to be lost for any period of time when the work of overthrowing the country isn't remotely finished. The perps are gonna' walk. Knowing we were right all along is totally insufficient. People need to be publicly hanged by the neck until dead. This has a way of quieting down the agitators.

Truth Social. Crap.
Our wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline Leavitt, will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect! Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections. Karoline has been a real leader in the White House, and has done a phenomenal job fighting for Justice, Liberty, and Freedom, since 2018, including our Historic Re-Election Campaign of 2024. Karoline has been one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office. Thank you, Karoline, for a job well done! President DONALD J.

Russia, Russia! connected to Trump for years.
And yet, I think the Bidens & the Biden autopen minions (and more) were, and remain, Working Families Party socialists. Biden coveted what Sanders but attacked his presidential campaign differently. Joey emphasized traditional ties to 'working-class families' and trade unions, and held events with distinct labor presence. Sanders had long built a strong pro-labor platform that helped him earn notable endorsements from national unions. He's still raking them in for his endorsees. Sanders supports a Green New Deal. So did Biden. >Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, Ramirez Reintroduce the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act, August 6, 2026, Press Release (It's back!) --- The WFP cross-endorsed and actively campaigned for Obama during his 2008 presidential run.

DSA candidates really need to stop just ignoring black voters, they don’t struggle with black voters they barely even acknowledge black voters
How are the moderates "acknowledging" black voters in ways the DSA isn't? Other than not specifically pandering to them with these platitudes or with the stoking of racial grievances ala Jasmine Crockett? No, the dynamic here is that the DSA isn't really trying to hone in on any races votes specifically, and the black vote is more conservative, so they break for the "moderate" candidate Moderates don’t boil everything down to class consciousness. I'm Indian American and my community is majority maybe Pete Buttigieg level liberal. I see this trend with a lot of minority communities. Isnt race a distraction created by the capitalists, and class the truly important thing? We do not live in a post-racial society yet.

Not weekly, not biweekly, not monthly just random intervals of trivial amounts and thousands of people doing it.

Posted by: Bea Arthur's Dick at August 12, 2026 05:54 PM (pE12i) Massachusetts Becomes the Tenth Blue State to Authorize Abortions Up Until the Moment of CrowningSafe, legal, and rare you guys. Democratic Gov. Maura Healey was met with applause and smiles as she signed away Massachusetts' gestational limits on abortion, making the deep-blue state the 10th to permit the procedure up to birth. Under the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, health care workers will have greater discretion in determining whether to perform an abortion later in pregnancy, without facing legal penalties under the state's previous restrictions. Healey said the law is intended to ensure families facing medical complications late in pregnancy can abort their babies in Massachusetts rather than having to travel out of state. Those complications can include maternal health complications and fatal diagnoses. During the bill signing, Healey pledged to keep abortion safe, legal and accessible in Massachusetts for as long as she remains governor.Oh, they dropped the "rare" and replaced it with "accessible," meaning "convenient." Which is the opposite of "rare." 7-Elevens are not rare. Fox News is so liberal. There is no "can" here. Late-term abortions must involve dismembering and decapitating the baby, because the baby is now too large to pass through the birth canal without an actual birth. "It should shock the conscience that tens of thousands of unborn Americans are barbarically dismembered limb by limb and torn apart every single year," she said. "Sadly, that number will only increase with Gov. Healey's approval of the Abortion Up Until Birth Bill. The GOP must abandon the 'leave it to the states' position -- a stance that permits egregious late-term abortion laws like this one -- and advance national protections for unborn children." ... The other countries that allow such procedures include Australia, Canada, China, Guinea-Bissau, Mexico, South Korea and Vietnam, according to SBA.

Lotsa men secretly applauding too, or at least doing the old dodged-a-bullet "whew" thing. It's insane that there's a much easier, cheaper, and more readily accessible solution to all these unwanted pregnancies. It's called "birth control." There are like 10 different birth control methods. Just pick one. But nah. The lefty solution to unwanted pregnancies is to murder the baby and in many cases carve it up like bacon.

Late-term abortions must involve dismembering and decapitating the baby, because the baby is now too large to pass through the birth control without an actual birth.
__________ And there's evidence that pain can be felt at as little as 15 weeks, maybe even less. Pre Dobbs, my state required that the abortionist at least cause "fetal demise" before performing a D&C, which involved injecting potassium chloride into the heart, digoxin into the amniotic fluid, or severing the cord. PP forum shopped for a friendly federal judge and got the law struck down on the grounds that it created an unreasonable burden for abortionists to learn those procedures.

Correct. This procedure is *at least* as dangerous to the mother, leaving aside the guaranteed fatality to the baby, as any complications would be. It's disturbing how many doctors in gynecology act like abortion is the one and only solution to all difficulties. There's a reason Hippocrates specifically forbade it along with the general "do no harm". Apparently, many medical schools no longer administer the oath at all. Something I think prospective patients should have a right to know. Posted by: Polliwog the 'Ette at August 12, 2026 02:29 PM (lFFaq) 46

Healey said the law is intended to ensure families facing medical complications late in pregnancy can abort their babies in Massachusetts rather than having to travel out of state. Those complications can include maternal health complications and fatal diagnoses.
This is a lie. It is intended to allow for any and all abortions, regardless, because it's a doctor's decision if they want to or not. There are no limitations. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at August 12, 2026 02:31 PM (2YhKe) 58

Something to keep in mind, you know you are pregnant by the 3rd month or so.
This is why most countries ban it after 6 months - you've know you were pregnant either get an abortion before that or you can't Why would someone want to wait and then do it with the child is now viable? Posted by: 18-1 at August 12, 2026 02:26 PM (sKqQm) ________ I think three reasons: 1. Outright laziness and procrastination. 2. There are women who like the "thrill" and attention of being pregnant, but aren't really committed to the baby. In the first 6 months, it's not really "real." But as the due date approaches, it becomes very real -- too real. So they panic and do the unthinkable. 3. I think the baby daddy plays into #2. He too might be caught up in being a father -- or at least feigning it -- until shit gets real. Then he's out the door. Girl is now abandoned, panics, and does the unthinkable.

The GOP must abandon the 'leave it to the states' position -- a stance that permits egregious late-term abortion laws like this one -- and advance national protections for unborn children.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court already ruled against that possibility. When they overturned Roe v. Wade-- which set a national policy for allowing abortion-- the Supes basically said, "Nope, Roe v. Wade is unconstitutional, becuase there can't be any nationwide law regarding abortion." That ruling cuts both ways. It eliminated Roe v. Wade thereby allowing many pro-lifer states t set pro-life policies, but it also by the same measure allow pro-abortion states to set whatever pro-abortion laws they want. It's just going to have to be a state-by-state battle from here on out. We're probably going to have to endure living in a country with states that allow abortion up until birth..

My next-door neighbor--a total lockstep Democrat--just adopted a stray cat that had been brought in to the city pound. (Well, his daughter adopted it without consulting the parents.) Standard pratice at the pund is when a stray female feral cat is brought in, they always sterilize it, to prevent stray cat overpopulation. And if the cst (as often happens) is also already pregnant-- they abrt the little pre-born kitten.
That's what happened with his new cat. The daughter brought it home, it was acted crazy and weird, they called up the pound, who said, "Oh, yeah, when we fixed her, she was about to give birth, so we terminated it. Mama cats kinds go crazy for a whole when that happened because their hormones spin out of control." He told me all this as we watched the cat indeed acting insane in his yard - -yowling, digging random holes and looking in them (apparent for the lost kittens), alternately hissing and puring and nothing, etc. It was really sad to watch. Anyway, the whole pintis, while telling me this, he dug himself into a verbal hole and couldn't think of a word other than "abortion" to describe what the pund had done to the cat. But he didn't want to say it. Posted by: zombie at August 12, 2026 02:46 PM (Av6i5) 128

The GOP must abandon the 'leave it to the states' position -- a stance that permits egregious late-term abortion laws like this one -- and advance national protections for unborn children."
--- The GOP never did the rhetorical or intellectual work on repealing Roe v. Wade--even though every Republican running for federal office since Reagan promised to repeal it. Because none of them really believed what they said. And none of them ever expected it to happen. But, boy-howdy, what a nice, throw-away line they all could use to pretend to be conservative and get the vote of the religious. I mean, look at how they all sputter and short-circuit now when asked now about abortion? All they ever had was repeating the phrases someone else coined--they never believed abortion was an evil.

Nice. Most of the time, late term abortions are life saving. Modern conservatives won't believe that because of the fear, anger, and hatred they consume, but it's the truth.
But these same conservative women are first to be all up in the news when they're the ones who need an abortion. You know, cuz the only moral abortion is their abortion. By leaving it up to the states the issue has become even more polarized. Perfectly legal women's health in one state can get you prison time or even the death penalty in another. We won't last long as a country like this. TRUST DOCTORS. Look at Gov Healey's signing ceremony. Are we sure this is good for women’s health I don’t see any men in the video making decisions?!?! /s Our side tried mightily to compromise and reason this out to a system with checks and balances. The other side just said, "Fuck you. My way or nothing. And, my way is nothing." Reap what you sowed.

If women can terminate the baby, men should have the right to terminate any support.

Sickening. It joins 10 other states & D.C,
(AI Overview) Recent large-scale clinical studies publish that when extremely premature infants born at 23 weeks receive active, aggressive neonatal resuscitation and treatment, their survival-to-discharge rate is approximately 55% to 58%. Survival chances increase incrementally with every single day a pregnancy continues at this stage. A baby born at 23 weeks and 6 days has a statistically higher chance of survival than a baby born at 23 weeks and 0 days. Among the 23-week micro-preemies who survive, studies track that about half grow up with no or mild neurological disabilities, while the remaining portion may face moderate to severe long-term health challenges (such as chronic lung issues or developmental delays). --- According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the state's Abortion Control Act, abortion is legally restricted after 23 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy (often cited as a 24-week limit), unless two physicians certify it's necessary for the health of mother. I don't agree at all with 24 weeks for a routine limitation, either. Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 12, 2026 03:06 PM (NFX2v) 205

A few days ago here in SE Michigan, a Facebook page dedicated to Ann Arbor denizens was lit up over pro-life individuals going door to door and leaving graphic photos of abortions. The AWFLS were incensed that their small children could have seen these images. I mean, these twits carried on, posted ring camera photos of those dropping off the material at their doorsteps, wanted to call the police, etc. Completely lost on them was the fact that the images they were horrified over are the procedures they support and fund. A few brave souls spoke up to remind them of that fact and were immediately labeled as right wing, or worse, men who had no business telling women what they should do with their bodies.

If you think about it, abortion really is the ultimate "shopping cart" test. (referencing the meme about people returning shopping carts)
Not just for women, and I don't want to put it all on them because many are young and fooled when they have abortion, but on society as a whole. A human life (the most precious thing in the world) is totally dependent on the mother, but they have to make some sacrifice and pay the piper for their own decision to have sex. They can accept responsibility and some sacrifice (honestly 9 months is not a life sentence.) They can accept providence and the path their life is now on. Or they can kill it. Easy peasy.

In my Pro-Life volunteering, we met a woman who was 27 weeks along when she realized she was pregnant. (Crazy but it happens. She was in her early 40s and just presumed that her period stopped because of menopause.)
We spent weeks discussing her baby and our services, while her "friends" at work tried to collect enough money to send her to another state to kill the child. No medical problems, no reason other than "I'm all alone and I can't have a baby right now." But eventually she softened. I remember the moment when she looked at us and said, "It will be just the two of us, but I will do this for my daughter." A few months ago I had the privilege of attending this little girl's first birthday party. I love this work! Posted by: Half Dozen at August 12, 2026 03:08 PM (wmpJF) 212
Fat teenage black girls who didn't even realize they were pregnant. That's what accounts for at least half of these 8th-month abortions.
- zombie The odds of this happening are beyond rare, but let’s say it happens. So what? That baby is viable. It is a known consequence of certain behaviors. I might suggest if you are able to get pregnant, maybe don’t have sex unless you are ready to have a baby. And I don’t mean you- I mean the general you.

We will never get anything approaching accurate statistics for late-term because the NPC coding is that 100% of late-term abortions are because of serious health issues, and not at all because of the "mother's" convenience. Posted by: Elric The Blade at August 12, 2026 02:54 PM That makes zero sense, though, because if there issues affecting either the mother or the baby, you can have a c section more quickly than an abortion, and both parties are saved. You are not saving the mother from delivering a dead baby with this, either. Because at that stage, there is none of the dismembering (this whole thing makes me want to throw up) that happens in early abortions. The baby is given a shot into its heart, they wait for the baby to die, then they induce labor. Barbaric isn’t even close to what this is. Posted by: Piper at August 12, 2026 03:16 PM (ZdaMQ) 237

Several times pro-life groups and legislators have really tried to engage with pro-aborts on life/health of the mother exemptions. And the pro-aborts always, always include "mental health".

This might be an uncomfortable take, but if blue states want to remove their own potential voters from the gene pool, then the long term result will be more conservative voters in the future.
Posted by: AlecK at August 12, 2026 03:17 PM (cMlC1) This is where I'm at in the national discussion. It's horrific that Leftists are killing their own children. I mourn for the suffering of those children. I have done everything I can to convince them to stop killing their children. But still they insist on killing their own children, and there's nothing more I can do about it. So I look for the silver lining, and take comfort in the fact that they are killing off their own voter base. If that sounds harsh, talk to them about it, not to me. I'm not the one encouraging the slaughter. Posted by: Half Dozen at August 12, 2026 03:24 PM (wmpJF) 272

Here's another angle: can a medical provider opt out of performing abortions? I know in the past people have been required to participate or lose their job and/or license. Because abortion "choice" only works one way. Posted by: Emmie at August 12, 2026 03:18 PM (OlzlW) __________ The idea among the aborticomaniacs is that you cannot be allowed to opt out. That you cannot tell a pregnant woman that there are alternatives to having an abortion. That abortions need not be performed by physicians. And so on.

Demonic Democrats. They denounced God in 2012 and Satan walzed in.
They KNOW at 20wks any issues with the baby. They know with sonograms and genetic testing. To then carry a baby another 20wks to die at birth is beyond all I care to contemplate. They will answer to God. All of them. Someone would want that baby. The ONE time a mother with a premature baby at our med center, she was induced to DELIVER the premie. A rare time the mother had HELLP Syndrome (involving clotting and potential liver failure). Both lived. DO NOT believe the bs about "saving the mother." It is not "women's rights" it is barbaric genocide. Please give $ or time to pregnancy resource centers, many supported by churches. To help unwed mothers or those in poverty considering abortions.

El-Sayed is also heavily invested in so-called Sharia-compliant investment funds managed by Amana Mutual Funds, whose late cofounder and chairman, Yaqub Mirza, was identified in a 1988 FBI memo as one of several "members and leaders of the IKHWAN," which is shorthand for the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed reported in his latest financial disclosure that he and his wife own between $150,000 and $425,000 in Amana's funds, which excludes investments in companies that earn more than 5 percent of their revenue from "haram sources" including interest, gambling, alcohol, tobacco, pornography, and pork. In 2002, federal antiterrorism agents raided Mirza's home as part of a wider antiterror operation against the Safa Group, a cluster of Islamic entities based in Virginia, the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post reported. No charges were filed, and Amana Funds itself was spared serious scrutiny during the probe, according to a local report.Scott Jennings notes something it's hard to miss: these foreign anchor-babies sure do seem to hate football and holidays and fireworks and all the little details of basic normie American culture. Why it's almost as if they seek to overthrow it and replace American culture with their own shithole country foreign "culture."

I saw that Non-binary Ben Shapiro put up this quote by Ronald Reagan:
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program." That quote, unfortunately did not account for the abject stupidity of today's "Socialists" (who probably can't even define Socialism coherently). It, also, did not fully account for the indocrinization of "higher" education...where gullible students took the words of the radical instructors as gospel without parsing out their meaning. In Reagan's time that would surely have been accurate. Today, situational awareness, has been replaced by regurgitation without subterfuge.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at August 12, 2026 01:27 PM (wsp19) ___ What else are they gonna do? They're lazy, they're stupid, they're bored, and modern social media gives them a convenient outlet to indulge their narcissistic resentment and envy. Plus, with "influencers" like Piker, they are whores trolling for likes, so they latch on to whatever The Thing is at the moment. The more extreme the better. See also Cucker Carlson, Me-again Kelly, and CandyAss Owens. If you look at Piker's older vids, his gimmick was over-the-top macho he-mannish posturing. That gimmick wore out, so he found another.

Jennings is correct, and it's something I've been thinking as well. Nations (and the cohesive group of people within them) have shared cultural norms and values. The US was fairly unique in having mass immigration, so racial and ethnic variety, but still a unified culture shared through successful assimilation.
The commies hate that, and have to destroy it. That's why there's the attack on Christianity, sports, all the major US holidays (and creation of new gay ones, like Juneteenth and Pride month), the celebration of non-assimilated colonizers speaking foreign language. Destroy and remove everything uniquely American culturally, so it's just a piece of land where citizens from all around the world csn live under (eventually) a global commie collective. Terrifying.

If shariah law prohibits the earning of interest, how does a "shariah-compliant" investment fund earn money?
And apparently they can invest in "haram" sources of revenue so long as they account for less than 5% of the return on investment. Bunch of hypocrites is what they are.

The train enters a long tunnel. In the pitch black, a loud "muwah" kiss is heard, followed immediately by a sharp smack. Out in the light, the Russian officer has a red handprint on his face. The old lady thinks: "What a brave girl, slapping that rude officer who kissed her." The young woman thinks: "Why on earth did the officer try to kiss the old lady?" The Russian thinks: "That fool of a Pole kissed the girl, and she hit me by mistake!" The Pole thinks: "I am a genius. I kissed the back of my hand, slapped the Russian, and got away with it."

Hey, what do you know! Sounds like only Puebloans would know what a bojon is:
https://pueblostarjournal.org/news/2023/06/02/ slovenian-puebloans-ethnic-slur-bojon/ Pueblo had a rich tapestry of ethnic groups, but they were all participants in the general community. They enjoyed sharing their cultural heritage with everyone else. There were special holiday treats and cultural festivals. It was fun! Although I was quite puzzled when a guy at my high school thought it was unusual that a "white girl" would be willing to date an Italian.

11 Defendants Charged in Dismantling of Decade-Long Nationwide Marriage Fraud Scheme Wednesday, August 12, 2026 A two-count indictment was unsealed charging 11 individuals with conspiring, over the course of more than a decade, to orchestrate more than 1,000 sham marriages to fraudulently obtain immigration status for foreign nationals, primarily citizens of the People’s Republic of China. Some individuals paid up to $100,000 per sham marriage, according to the indictment. Posted by: Kindltot at August 12, 2026 02:02 PM (rbvCR) 154

The reason these commies hate Thanksgiving and July 4th isn't just that they're quintessentially American (although most countries have their own version of independence day).
They hate them because these are happy, celebratory holidays where people are encouraged to get together, eat, drink, have fun, and shoot off fireworks. These commies are bitter, resentful, jealous, anti-social incel lunatics who can't stand other people having fun. Remember when the left was desperate to shut down Thanksgiving, fucking 8 months into covid? Same motivation. Look at Islam itself. Very little happy celebration. Lotsa mourning, fasting, abstaining, punishing, and forceful conforming. Being Muslim is more like being in a prison camp than any other religion.

I'm a sucker for most UK accents when they're found on the pretty ones. It ends up that about half the women that I've dated had UK, Irish or Aussie accents.

Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung === My take is the reason many affluent, white women vote Dem because of social issues like abortion and just basically liberal attitudes about a lot things. At least in my circle, that's what it's really about. I just don't see someone Al Sayed that really wears their Muslim background on their sleeve being a big seller to these types.

Posted by: ShainS at August 12, 2026 04:41 PM (dVpbe) After Polls Predicted a 97% Chance of a Double-Digit Victory for Francesca Hong, Missing USB Drives and Late Ballot Shenanigans Hand the Establishment Candidate the "Win"Did they steal it? I don't know, but the socialists have got to be wondering that. And I encourage that speculation!OSZThe also leftwing candidate, Crowley, actually abandoned the race but re-entered it after Establishment types insisted he get back in to stop Hong. He wound up "winning" by around 3000 votes out of more than half a million. I keep clicking on articles to see if there's an update showing that Hong won. Alas, it seems we've lost this one. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly upset Democratic socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday night, despite polls showing Hong in front by double-digits in the final stretch before polling day. Crowley's campaign said the 37-year-old state legislator and member of the Democratic Socialists of America called Crowley early Wednesday to concede the race. Hong trailed her rival by more than 3,200 votes out of more than 787,000 ballots cast as of 6 a.m. ET., a margin of 0.41 percentage points. Under Wisconsin law, Hong could have requested a recount since she trailed by under one percentage point, but would have had to pay for it since her deficit was greater than 0.25 percentage points. State law does not provide for automatic recounts in close races.She chose not to. I think, in the end, she wanted to lose the primary, because that allows her to continue on as an agitator and podcast goon. Had she won the primary and then been blown out in the general, she'd be excluded by the whole rotten Democrat Party, including the socialists, who need to pretend they're #Winning. Hong immediately endorsed the guy who cheated to beat her because she has a Coward's Heart. But that doesn't stop us from crying #RiggedElection on her behalf.

For Hong, it may be the best of all possible worlds.

Think what you like, but Jim Clyburn was in Wisconsin just before the primary, and that coincided with the "Black Caucus" vociferously endorsing Crowly.
Clyburn always seems to make his rounds to specific states to which he has no real connection just before a hinge type election occurs. In 2020, Clyburn traveled to every single swing state before the General election. He did no campaigning. So, why? It's a good question. Posted by: Orson at August 12, 2026 12:37 PM (dIske) 88

This Irish looking woman walks around calling herself a "person of color", and worked initially for an NGO as a community activist.

Posted by: Piper at August 12, 2026 12:46 PM (ZdaMQ) Monday after work I made the mistake of trying to run in the Florida heat.

The Flanagan v Tafoya Senate race could be interesting to watch. While Minnesota is crazy , a lot of them realize that Flanagan is nut bag.

He still has her winning - it is Minnesota - but isn't sure Tafoya couldn't catch her. Posted by: Black JEM at August 12, 2026 12:51 PM (7/DDO) 167

The quick concession by Hong is kind of a tell. She knew it was going to be rigged and was compensated in exchange for not raising a fuss. How else to explain conceding when down by 3,000 votes when polling had you as a shoo-in, in addition to all the vote counting irregularities?

There's more "uhhs" and "ahhs" in that transcript than real words. 2. The Somalis in the video have noticeable utter contempt for her. Flanagan is sucking their dicks with fawning praise, and they're just standing there stonefaced like "will this stupid white bitch just shut the fuck up." Even when Flanagan calls "Nimka" out by name, Nimka barely acknowledges it. It's embarrassing to prostrate yourself before 13th century savages who hate your guts.

Hong needed to be punchier in her responses and tie any personal swipe back to policy relentlessly; it's how Mamdani and El Sayed won - progressives basically have to be perfect and relentlessly stay on message no matter the shenanigans the media pulls.
The Establishment doesn't have to be perfect, their nominees fail up all day we've moved the goal posts so far that an establishment candidate with the full force behind them beating a progressive who got no major national endorsements from AOC or Bernie is an upset? That's a horrible sign for the establishment those Hong +30 polls were largely while Crowley had dropped out of the race, meaning it was basically a single leftist candidate, a handful of moderates with no traction, and ~40% undecideds. Then Crowley reentered the race and solidified the center-left vote. Can't wait to see the "far left" be the fall guys if the Dems lose this one. The centrist narrative will be that DSA commies stayed home like some disobedient children. She was super close. This is a victory. Great work in WI, reds!

* HONG'S COMMUNIST SUPPORTERS SUSPECT FOUL PLAY IN THE GOVERNOR'S RACE, ESPECIALLY AFTER CROWLEY WON BY 81 MILLION VOTES EVEN A STOPPED COSSACK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY! * THE WISCONSIN DEMOCRAT PARTY PROMISES THAT AS A CONSOLATION PRIZE, FRANCESCA HONG WILL BE GIVEN THE EMPTY LUGGAGE WHICH WERE UNLOADED DURING THE 3 AM WATER MAIN BREAK Posted by: The Gipper Lives at August 12, 2026 05:38 PM (mqUWt) Wednesday Morning Rant![]() There are a number of examples. The new datacenters being built are interesting in their own right, as it is often difficult to determine who is paying for them. Many of these new datacenters don't have the company's name on the door. Or the paperwork. Or the balance sheet. These data centers are being built through "special-purpose vehicles," or SPVs. Datacenter SPVs are standalone psuedo-corporations created to finance, build and sometimes operate a datacenter on behalf of its actual owner. For example, take a deal called Beignet, the SPV building a new Meta datacenter in Louisiana. Meta owns 20% of the SPV, and put up $1.3 billion. Private equity outfit Blue Owl put up $3 billion and owns 80% of the SPV. Combined, they put up around 14% of the total $30 billion cost of the build-out, with the rest financed by bonds issued by the SPV and purchased in bulk by investment funds like PIMCO. Meta will lease most of the Beignet datacenter from Blue Owl, who will take the lease payments to pay the coupons to bondholders and dividends to itself and its minority partner who is also the primary tenant. Why the complicated structure? Accounting tricks. Continuing with Beignet as an example, take a worst-case scenario where the SPV fails. If that happens, the majority owner - Blue Owl - will sell off everything it can to pay back bondholders. This will inevitably result in a gap. If Beignet were a normal enterprise, that results in a "haircut" - the bondholders lose the difference. If it were a normal enterprise, it would also have to pay ruinous interest rates to finance a high-risk and high-complexity scheme. But it isn't a normal enterprise, and it gets to issue investment-grade bonds. Why? Because Meta is backstopping it. If Beignet fails and is liquidated and the bondholders are not made whole, Meta puts up the difference. The complicated structure lets the SPV borrow at blue-chip rates and - most importantly - allows the blue chip with the risk exposure to hold that exposure off its balance sheet to maintain that rating while burning through capital at alarming rates. Meta is ultimately on the hook for the bond issue, but Meta also gets to exclude the massive liability from its balance sheet. If that seems extremely suspicious, it's because it is. It's a vast game of hide-the-risk - but hiding the risk doesn't make it go away, and no amount of wishful thinking or accounting tricks can change that. And it's a very, very big problem. Last year, the hyperscalers issued $121 billion in new debt. That sounds like a lot, but this year, the total issuance is on pace to quadruple that as Morgan-Stanley (via Forbes) estimates $570 billion issuance. And the Big Five hyperscalers are holding, by some estimates, around $1.5 trillion dollars' worth of debt off their balance sheets. And people are finally noticing. From a piece of Bloomberg coverage:"The accounting treatment itself is in fashion. But what if one of these companies was a house of cards and was propping itself up with this accounting treatment?" said Tom Selling, technical accounting consultant. "To me, that's the risk."Indeed, but it ignores the obvious question: why bother with this complex accounting treatment otherwise? The stated argument is along the lines of, "there will be other tenants involved, too, not just us, so it makes sense" but that's a much weaker argument than the obvious one of "to hide risk." "If we just looked at the financial statements, we would be more or less short sighted: missing liabilities, missing obligations, missing key elements of these structures that really truly represent the economics," Gonzales said.Yes, SPVs aren't illegal. But at this scale and with corporations this hypothetically rich and credit-worthy backstopping them, they are a red flag. And that scale is another part of the reason. Nobody can afford this. It is getting into nation-state levels of capital and debt expenditure and even the mighty hyperscalers can't pay for their bets, especially as the market for AI bonds appears to be softening. Between known on-balance-sheet debt and estimated off-balance-sheet debt, the Big Five hyperscalers have racked up almost $2.5 trillion in debt so far. Alphabet (Google) plays the hide-the-risk game comparatively little and most of its debt is on its balance sheet and because of that, its accounting is easier to understand - and it is also is in negative free cash flow for the first time since going public as its capital expenditures exceed its cashflows. How many of its fellow hyperscalers are in the same situation, with the reality hidden off the balance sheet? The answer to the basic AI question of "can it pay" will have profound consequences not just for the hyperscalers, but for the wider economy. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I'm not sure I understand the distinction. Posted by: Archimedes at August 12, 2026 11:06 AM (Riz8t) I believe, although I could be wrong, that xAI primarily runs data centers for other people and uses their silliness to pay the bills with Grok using any free computing. For example, they run a profit because Google cannot keep up with construction equal to their delusions so they pay xAI for compute time. In many ways, xAI is operating like general store owners during the California gold rush. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at August 12, 2026 11:12 AM (ExV1e) 31

Data Factories (that's what the cool kids are calling them) should be treated as any other thing or product. We don't talk about "computer" like it's one invariant monolith of a thing. There are all kinds of different computers, doing different things, that different companies build for different customers to do different things. There is just as much variation when you take a whole bunch of computers and shove them into one building. Who's designing and building it? Who's using it? Who's leasing out all that computing power, and to whom? Is it AWS? X? The Economic Council of Greater Timbuktu? Is it used for AI research? Cloud compute? Storing some idiot's fifty billion blurry pictures of the inside of his pocket from now until the inevitable heat death of the universe?
They all look roughly the same from street view, but there are a lot of players doing a lot of things in the Data Factory space that make sweeping unqualified statements about "datacenters" difficult. Posted by: Warai-otoko at August 12, 2026 11:19 AM (Ot/FD) 50

Since the introduction of the Z80, Watts per FLOP (power required to do Floating Point Operations per second) has been in decline, on average 38% a year. Data centers built today will be obsolete in three years, out competed by new data centers doing much more with much less power.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic ========== In part at least, you are correct. Anthropic is a big customer of xAI datacenters (now folded into SpaceX). In a complicated partnership, Microsoft provides Azure computing to Open AI, and so on. But that is for models running today, not necessarily for the future models where they are building datacenters on spec for the different AI competitors. There will be a shakeout and the WCC Central story that pixy posted earlier shows that you can take a cheaper model, train it partially on the expensive frontier model output and in essence, gain most of the frontier model's advantage for peanuts. Like Elon and Grok AI, it may be to the advantage of NOT being Claude or Open AI front runners because the slightly less than absolute bleeding edge frontier models don't consume the cash that Claude or OpenAI are spending that is not sustainable. Now NVIDIA is getting involved as well, basically staking the AI companies if they use NVIDIA hardware. I don't think we know where this is going to end.

This is a lot like the dot.com bubble, in that when it burst, we saw what the Internet was really worth, and most importantly, what it could really do for people. AI is vastly overhyped, but I think when the AI bubble bursts, we’ll see the true value and use of AI.
Those expenditures are scary though. The data center thing doesn’t freak me out as it does other people. The nearby shithole town has some areas of blight that can be replaced by data centers if people are willing and they just might give people in town something to do other than eat, sleep and shit (h/t, The Helmsman). Oh, and get high and commit crimes. My worry is that when the bubble bursts, you’ll have some worthless property sitting idle forever until someone comes in to repurpose.

It's not that there's no risk from pouring all that money into data centers... there is, and it's significant.
The thing is, the risk from NOT moving your company into AI is even higher. It's a choice between "may be out of business" and "definitely will be out of business". First prize is wealth beyond your wildest dreams (even if you are Elon Musk). Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is that your company dies. If the "OMG data!!! centers!!! bad!!!" contingent manages to derail the buildout the first prize winner is going to be Chy-na.

If we survive, one day Elon Musk is going to be hailed as the person who saved Western Civilization, first by buying Twitter, and now by pushing back against the "alignment" tards. Grok certainly has areas where it tries to steer the narrative, but far less so than any of the others.

We had a tech meltdown after Web 1.0 crashed and failed, we had a meltdown regarding fiber optic mania, and yet each of those failures left a bunch of infrastructure available cheap for the future and better companies to utilize for growth.

This sounds like Enron or FTX debt-structuring schemes. Arthur Andersen went under with Enron because other firms independently exposed their complicity. FTX shared the same advantage as Big AI has now: no reliable auditing. All these modern firms benefit from the new system, since the MBS/CDO collapse a decade later, which is that debt is now valued arbitrarily. But they still keep going under anyway, because Renfield Accounting can only cover for so much, and then you get a stake through your heart.

The latest models from Grok are just about as good as Claude, IMO.
More so if you prefer your AI dinner without a side of communism. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia Have no dog in the fight but I think Claude was smart in aiming at coding as a specialty niche to differentiate itself from Open AI or Grok even. But, the easy of 'stealing' frontier model's edge apparently, especially by the Chicoms, means that the vast world market envisioned by Open AI and Claude is not going to be theirs. It will go to the cheapest alternative even if the Chicoms own the cheating company. Neither company has the cash flow longterm to keep burning it so as to beat the other to the vaunted IPO. Google with Gemini, and SpaceX have other income streams that neither Claude or Open AI have. Personally, in the wreckage, I would buy Apple stock above any of them because they stayed out of the AI shitshow and they have the cash to buy the shell of any AI company that crashes out.

A recent article I saw stated that if a $200 per month subscription to ChatGpt were fully utilized, it would cost OpenAI upwards of $14K to provide the service. Until the service is profitable, just getting a bigger truck (ie: Data Center), ain't gonna solve the problem.

It will be just like when the plasma TV was king for years and all of a sudden the LCD TV's came on the market cheaper better and they lasted longer. LCDs still have a worse picture than plasma. You have to go OLED and pay "real TV" money to match plasma. Posted by: Ian S. at August 12, 2026 11:45 AM (2ocoG) OLED is cheap these days. You can get a great OLED with an awesome picture in a huge size and a very nice sound set up for what you would payed for a mediocre LCD 5 years ago, if you wait for the right sale.

This sounds like Enron or FTX debt-structuring schemes.
Arthur Andersen went under with Enron because other firms independently exposed their complicity. FTX shared the same advantage as Big AI has now: no reliable auditing. All these modern firms benefit from the new system, since the MBS/CDO collapse a decade later, which is that debt is now valued arbitrarily. But they still keep going under anyway, because Renfield Accounting can only cover for so much, and then you get a stake through your heart. ------- I know my limitations when it comes to conversations of this type, but I'm not sure how GAAP squares with the assertion that Meta (in the Beignet example) would be legally required to cough-up any shortage in a liquidation scenario?

Posted by: Notsothoreau Yes, because those only gave companies a single digit sales increase rather than being able to front a massive IPO with untold billions for the insiders. My guess is Oracle and the Ellisons are going to be one of the casualties, Microsoft to the extent that they are now actively cannibalizing their own sacrosanct product lines is another, can't tell on Google which probably has its own Android half of cellphones to feed, and then Apple which stayed out of the muck and can afford to buy the survivor(s) of the shakeout probably. SpaceX is difficult to tell as Elon is using one part of the company to build demand as a customer for other parts of the company. Not the same as pureplay AI like Claude or Open AI. Nvidia though is a company that I would probably short--they bet the farm on AI production leaving AMD in the dust but AMD and Intel might get the last laugh there.

At least, not for unregulated cloud storage. At some point, the datacenters are going to start screening all of our data and deleting anything that the commies don't like, but the first step will be in charging premiums for unscreened cloud storage. And your unscreened storage will be on the shittiest hard drives that risk data loss, not to mention the access times will suffer. Eventually, the unscreened storage will go away and your "private" data will be screened and cleaned up as they "improve performance".

FNAB Posted by: ... ======= Eh, run OpenSeek on an old computer and you will get somewhere around 80-90 percent of the performance of frontier models. It is the frontier models that demand those new datacenters as the existing models are superceded by the newest ones. They repeatedly use the training data from the older model to train the new one plus any other data they can scrounge (now getting into old product manuals, old reference books, etc. territory). Think Johnny Five in Short Circuit with the need for more 'input'. Kind of like how the TV market settled out--you could pay through the nose for the bleeding edge with all its problems or wait about 2-3 years for those bleeding edge models to be faster, cheaper, etc. on sale at Walmart. Same for the PC market--you pay for bleeding edge.

Radiative. Posted by: t-bird at August 12, 2026 12:16 PM (5FKHw) Indeed. Point a hot surface towards deep space (away from the sun) and heat will flow away from it. This is the process that makes ice form on puddles under a clear night sky, even though the air temperature does not drop below freezing.

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards It is a tool that can work, but most politicians see dollar signs for themselves if they just shovel the money to the bailout. But markets panic and you get irrational get rid of it responses during a panic. Intel was getting beaten down for example for not making ENOUGH of a profit and predictions that it would fail by short sellers rather than the facts in the matter. And I think naked short types should be drawn and quartered while being burned at the stake. They are parasites. Want to short, get a stake or borrow it from someone to do so putting your own ass at risk. Naked shorts are simply trying to psychologically beat down the price so you can score cheap profits with little outlay and risk. Posted by: whig at August 12, 2026 12:23 PM (E4rtv) 255

Posted by: man at August 12, 2026 12:12 PM (cGjQu) =================== Is it cooling we are talking about or heat radiation? Obviously in space, radiating heat is no problem. As far as cooling goes, if the satellite is not directly facing the sun it is sitting a few hundred degrees below zero, but much warmer if facing the sun. Right? So cooling might just be a matter of shielding satellites on the day side of orbit, and warming them on the night side. Would that be right?

Posted by: whig at August 12, 2026 12:18 PM I'm a rocket scientist, too, at least by training. You can use radiation for cooling, but you have to be careful to point your radiator away from bright objects. It can be done, but it's not a zero-cost thing. According to the article in last month's Aerospace America, the biggest problem would be orbital deconfliction. I think the biggest problem is that there is no good reason to put data centers in orbit so you have to pay huge costs for no real gain in order to do it, but that's just me. The huge costs I'm talking about are the launch costs. It takes so much energy to put anything into orbit that an orbital anything is going to be expensive. Yes, SpaceX has done amazing things to reduce the cost of lifting stuff into orbit, but they've basically just reduced it from ludicrous to immense. The hope is that SpaceX can further reduce it to merely extremely large. Posted by: Cybersmythe at August 12, 2026 02:18 PM (Zst8M) 261

The topic is unexpected but the style is recognizable. The houses in the background, the tunnel and stonework has his signature use of color and brush work. The people have that soft look he is known for: enough detail to be recognizable but still soft and generic. It's the horses that break with expectations. An aspect of life in NYC that no longer exists but did in the 1930s. As soon as I saw Hopper's name I realized it was Central Park. Wouldn't want to go through that tunnel on foot or horseback today.
Hopper, with his style and subjects, is one of the few artists that made NYC palatable. That aspect is long gone. Posted by: JTB at August 12, 2026 09:45 AM (yTvNw) 60

One description claims this show the sentiments left over from the 19th century when NYC was changing rapidly. This was painted in 1939.
Surprisingly the NYC population in 1930 was just under 7.4 million and it's around 8.5 million today. I thought the 2026 number would be much higher. Does that increase of 1.1 million make that much difference in being able to live normally in NYC vs what's going on today with crime, high taxes and all of the other things that progressivism has wrought? I wonder what the demographics were in 1939. Off to do some research. Posted by: neverenoughcaffeine at August 12, 2026 09:58 AM (2NHgQ) 95

Thanks Biff. Not educated in the difference between metro and the balance of NYC. So metro includes the greater area of the tri-state, which includes NJ and CT. Odd way to look at NYC. Might I suggest that NJ and CT hand over their counties that are included in the metro area to NYC so that the balance of the two states could be somewhat normal.

I was late in JJ's thread, but I was at a social event this weekend with my wife and a few of her acquaintances. The person the set up the event was talking about how she got her JD with loans of about $60,000. (She's a bit older). She got out of school, went to work for nonprofits and held her loans in abeyance for a long time. Interest accrued to over $200,000. She was thanking Biden for forgiving the loans during Covid. I wanted to pull what little hair I have left out, and tell her you're welcome, on behalf of tax paying citizens. This was the authority that the SC said Biden didn't have. I'm still pissed about it. Nothing but contempt for people like that.

Ya know, Freud's practical ideas about psychology were all binned a long time ago, because it's nonsense.
But I've always found him to be a particularly unlikable intellectual douchebag, and I never could figure out quite why. Until one minute ago, when it hit me: that guy was just a retread. His whole thing was nicely dressed in 20th century pseudoscientific folderol, but it was the same old Epicurean nonsense from the ancient Mediterranean, brought back to life for a modern audience of spiritually barren hedonists in central Europe.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley beat Democratic socialist Francesca Hong in a come-from-behind victory during the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary Tuesday night. Crowley, 40, was ahead of the 37-year-old state representative and member of the Democratic Socialists of America 39.8% to 39.4% when the race was called by the Associated Press at 3:34 a.m. Surveys ahead of the Badger State Democratic contest had consistently showed Hong besting Crowley by double digit percentage points. Crowley had also dropped out of the race weeks before and even endorsed another opponent, before re-entering the contest and receiving the backing of outgoing Gov. Tony Evers.Hong who hates Israel, white people, and not merely Thanksgiving but what it represents, family, America that encompass its history, society, culture and traditions. Then again, in whole or in part this is what the Democrats en masse are all about. In their two century-long desire for absolute power they have embraced and endorsed any and every crackpot and in so doing have placed an absolute stranglehold on several key states and more crucially institutions of our government and private sector that have kept them in power all this time, primarily academia and the media. So the question is, is Hong's defeat merely because the party and electorate see her as politically/tactically toxic during an election or that what she believes does not align with what it and they believe. My fear is that if the latter were the case, how in the world could she and all the others of her ilk have ever gotten as far as they have politically? Well, they couldn't. And yet here we are as a nation and society. Since yesterday was an open primary in Wisconsin I and my fellow Wisconsinites had the opportunity to vote for either party, and since Tom Tiffany was a shoe-in to win in the GOP, I'm wondering how many of my fellow sane republican Wisconsinites voted on the Democrat line for Crowley to pull a sort of Operation Chaos a la Limbaugh? I just realized that maybe this might not have been such a great idea as having Hong as a candidate might make our side complacent and as Dems vote for whoever has the D after their name regardless of who it is could spell disaster come November. Oh well, fellow Dairy Staters and everyone please weigh in. Host Peter Alexander said, “There’s a conversation happening among Democrats, and I’m sure a lot of people sitting listening to this conversation right now, who have these real concerns about the sort of divide they’re experiencing within the party between the more progressive candidates and the more moderate, more centrist candidates. The fear is that ultimately it may cost the party some seats, some governors’ mansions. You saw that Abdul El-Sayed, someone you supported, obviously won what was a really close race against a more moderate Senate candidate in the state of Michigan. Right now in Wisconsin, Francesca Hong is facing some similar concerns.” He asked, “What do you make of that concern, and how do you satisfy those more centrist Democrats and independent-minded folks, in states like your own right now, who are having that real debate within their own head?” Ellison said, “I think the debate is great. I think it’s an important debate to have. Democratic, ‘big D’ Democrats are being democratic ‘small D,’ meaning that we’re debating ideas.Yes, Keith Ellison is a sick freak but he's also the Attorney General of the state of Minnesota. His views are absolutely in line with Hong and all the rest, and he has been the AG of Mn for many many years and through many election cycles. I suppose one can argue that social media posts can come back to bite candidates in the ass but then again, how is it that my old hometown of NYC can swing from the madness of a David Dinkins to 12-plus years of a golden age under Rudy Giuliani and then embrace DeBolshevik and then DeBolshevik on steroids Mamdani?! I don't get it. From coast-to-coast, voters on the left are turning to the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) to lead them to the promised land. For them, of course, the promised land is communism. Not surprisingly, the DSA candidates usually run under the Democrat banner. Democrats and communists have always been soul mates. In 1948, Henry A. Wallace, who had been FDR’s vice president from 1941 to 1945, ran for president under the Progressive Party banner. The Progressive Party was hard left and strongly aligned with, and supported by, the Communist Party of America. Wallace received 2.4% of the vote. Unfortunately, today’s communists (costumed in DSA clothing behind the Democrat curtain) are getting ten times that. But don’t call them communists! Ask Democrats or DSA members, and they’ll vehemently deny they’re communists. The DSA will assert, “We’re not communists, we’re docialists. BIG difference!” Really? And Democrats often won’t even agree that they’re socialists, despite having mirror image policies.Speaking of Rush Limbaugh, as the late great Maha Rushie of blessed memory once observed, When the Left promises paradise on earth and free everything, it's impossible to run against Santa Claus and beat him. The irony there of course is the Left's preternatural hatred of everything Christian, but the analogy is nevertheless spot on. But of course, a lot of people are going to have to be liquidated and the past 250 years of our unique "exceptional" history completely erased in order for their fever dreams to be realized Abolish The Police, Seize The Corporations, Erase The Borders This is the DSA platform Democrats don’t want you to read.While some in the Democrat Party are freaking out over the freaks like Hong there they are running and ins some cases like Mamdani winning. Yes the entirety of the Wisconsin populace cannot be compared to that of NYC as a whole. But there's Keith Ellison, who unlike a John Fetterman or even a Chuck Schumer is eager to embrace the overt Commies. Of course so long as they have a D next to their name, Democrats must vote for that candidate. Speaking of Paradise on Earth — elsewhere in the world, as Iran continues to be a festering boil on the world's backside, let me just state for the record that President Trump and Israel's combined effort so far to prevent these fiends from obtaining nuclear weapons and initiating armageddon as the precursor to permanent global Islamic domination, was absolutely necessary to the safety and security of the world. This item is rather alarming: Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has called for Islamic nations to set aside their differences and join Islamabad’s defence agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey to form a military alliance along the lines of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Talking to Geo News, Asif said the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement shouldn’t be an ‘exclusive club’ and urged Islamic nations to put their difference aside and join the pact. . . “I think that, along the lines of NATO, Muslim countries should put their own differences aside–the transactional issues or bilateral disputes they have with one another — and stand together on this one platform,” he added. . . . . . Pakistan is the world’s primary enforcer of Islamic blasphemy laws. It’s a state sponsor of terrorism, holds an estimated 170 nuclear warheads, and is steadily modernizing its arsenal. Its longest-range operational missile is the Shaheen 3, which can hit targets up to 1,709 miles. Saudi Arabia is the location of Mecca and Medina, Islam’s holiest cities. Turkey is “the new Iran,” a Muslim Brotherhood-supporting nation with revanchist aims. Recently, Greek MEP Afroditi Latinopoulou rightly warned that “pretending Turkey is still a reliable ally is not a strategy. It is dangerous self-delusion.”But let's not lose our heads over Islam! Of course who the new American red guards of the DSA can't shoot into a mass grave will be taken care of by the graduates of our Madrassas... Her nearly 300-page study examines an English-language Islamic Studies curriculum spanning Grades 1 through 12, published by Darussalam and supplemented by other widely circulated educational texts. Rather than approaching Islamic education through sociological generalizations or newspaper accounts of radicalization, she examines what children themselves encounter: textbooks, exercises, religious stories, prescribed behavior, Quranic passages, accounts of Mohammed and his companions, and the material that is emphasized, softened, postponed, or omitted. The result is one of the more important studies of Islamic education to appear in recent years.With any luck I'll be dead and not have to worry about anything more than having my tombstone desecrated. But at least Hong has been sidelined, at least for now so on that bit of positive news, I bid you all to Have a good day,

RE: Wisconsin Gubernatorial election:
Results remain unofficial until official certification in the coming weeks, which is standard. The margin was under 1%, so a recount request was possible (at the campaign’s expense above a certain threshold), but reports indicate Hong conceded, which effectively closed off that path.

I think that the way the media reports this as a DSA candidate Hong VS “moderate” Crowley is very misleading. Crowley (all Dems without exception) is not moderate; he’s as much a radical as Hong but only hides it better.
Moderate democrat is a contradiction in terms. Heck even Fetterman, look at his voting record The days of having Dems like Sam Nunn are long over. Nunn is still alive BTW which surprised me Posted by: LinusVanPelt at August 12, 2026 07:23 AM (zEBE+) 27
El-Sayed also suggested removing the right to bear arms in favor of a right to healthcare. “What if we tweaked the Constitution, amended the amendment, and instead of the right to bear arms, we change it to the right to have health care?”
What does that even mean? Right to Healthcare. US probably has the most advanced emergency responders in the world by a factor of 2 or 3. And when they save your sorry ass we have the most advanced trauma hospitals by a factor of 4 or 5x.

Abolish The Police, Seize The Corporations, Erase The Borders This is the DSA platform Democrats don’t want you to read.
• Do they count on the fact that police are what protects tyrants and criminals from an armed public who has lost all faith in the court systems? • Most corporations are largely held by a relatively small handful of funds: Fidelity, State Street, Black*, etc. Much of this is pension funds, so there is already a form of public ownership. What do they hope to accomplish by seizing something they know nothing about? • Borders: clearly population replacement. Smart, entrepreneurial, moral, creatives are anathema to a police state.

I would appreciate a deep dive by a knowledgeable source into the whole business of polling these days. How can it be conducted with any degree of objectivity? Phone?

DSA capitalizes on Americans' downward mobility -- Nobody is "promised" any path to economic success. It isn't something you buy and then possess, like any other tangible household item. So many of you bought stupid, useless degrees without ever taking a moment's thought as to whether Lesbian Studies were going to land you a good, high paying job.

This is what happens when there is zero sum ideology—that nothing can be created, only cannibalized or destroyed. But since these clowns believe that there is numerical cap on the number of Constitutional Amendments, why not get the easy disposable ones like the 18th and 21st? Go with the 18th and put something really retarded and evil in there, then we can point to Amendment 21 § 1 and tell them to fuck right off.

Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at August 12, 2026 07:18 AM Thanks for that, had forgotten it. Very good summary. People love the idea that some future event can be mathematically predicted, even when that idea is garbage. Texas polling is particularly awful; Texas has 254 counties, but only 5 or 6 truly high population counties. (The big cities, natch). It’s difficult to contact rural and smaller town voters, so almost every poll done will end up being just a poll of a few hundred voters in those places. Yet it’s known by all that the other 249 counties vote in a completely contrary way to the votes from the big cities. This would be extremely expensive to get around, though, so no public polls even try. I think of this every time I see another stupid Fox poll claiming Talarico is leading Paxton.

And it points out the big flaw in things like RCP’s poll averages. The idea is that some polls are high , some are low, but the average will be more accurate.
BUT when the polls are 100% wrong, then this just gives you the average wrong answer. And it’s MORE wrong than the few polls that are close. Meaningless. Posted by: Tom Servo at August 12, 2026 08:02 AM (pLSjm) Averaging is a kind of (simple) filter… it’ll reduce (zero mean) noise.

In a series of tense airport standoffs, gate agents and corporate executives at major carriers like Southwest Airlines have repeatedly blocked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from accessing jet bridges, shielded passenger manifests, and demanded administrative hurdles to prevent federal agents from taking illegal visa overstayers into custody, according to recent reports by national news outlets.

Here’s the trick - if you’ve mandate that Government provide certain things such as food, housing, and medical care, then you also must grant that government unlimited power to fulfill those demands, whatever it requires.
Corollary: A "Balanced Budget Amendment" would then mandate that the government seize whatever they need to in the form of taxes, assets, labor and tribute to cover their insatiable desire to spend public monies—it would literally legislate Communism.

Nobody and nothing is 'making' cops break the law. Flock simply allows (or, frankly, encourages) them to indulge their basest impulses while hiding behind technology.
In yesterday's ONT video, Flock, for the purposes of protecting the privacy of abusive, snooping users of Flock's spy services, anonymized the actor so that the guilty party can remain anonymous while tracking a known person's every move. The other great segment was where interviewing a spokesperp for Flock, the guy said "we welcome regulation" when asked about the rampant abuse of the system. Yeah. Sure, Jan.

Here’s the trick - if you’ve mandate that Government provide certain things such as food, housing, and medical care, then you also must grant that government unlimited power to fulfill those demands, whatever it requires.
You also grant the government unlimited power to decide how, or if, those demands are met. -- old guy slowly dying of dehydration in a hospital corridor in Liverpool Posted by: I used to have a different nic at August 12, 2026 08:27 AM (ExV1e) 194

"Corollary: A "Balanced Budget Amendment" would then mandate that the government seize whatever they need to in the form of taxes, assets, labor and tribute to cover their insatiable desire to spend public monies—it would literally legislate Communism."
One (somewhat) good thing about inflating our way out of (or deeper into?) massive growing debt, is at least everyone (sorta) has to pay, including the drug dealers and other scofflaws. And it helps keep the "markets" rising, which keeps the ultra rich (and other smaller "investors") ahead of inflation. But if the bubble could ever pop ... well, we just plan for that to never happen, easy peasy. Posted by: illiniwek at August 12, 2026 08:28 AM (vbXSk) 197

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has called for Islamic nations to set aside their differences and join Islamabad’s defence agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey to form a military alliance along the lines of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).

Polling at Hong up by 10-22 points. Losing be less then a point still means the polling was off by double digits.
I read the poll from Marquette that had Hong up by 22 and they say; "The poll was conducted July 22-27, 2026, with 407 registered voters who say they will vote in the Democratic primary, including early absentee voters, with a margin of error of +/-6.6 percentage points. The sample includes 254 respondents who were also previously interviewed July 8-16 and 153 new respondents. Interviews were attempted with all Democratic primary respondents from the July 8-16 poll, with a 59% success (reinterview) rate, as well as an additional fresh sample."

Yep. The connected will do the best because they get those new Bidenbux before the inflationary effect hits prices in general. Interestingly this also as an impact based on what you have your savings in for normal people. Large cap corporate stock and housing tend to increase to reflect inflation fairly quickly (and in fact a lot of those big stock/housing gains in the Biden years are just baking inflation into the price).

32 “What if we tweaked the Constitution, amended the amendment, and instead of the right to bear arms, we change it to the right to have health care?” Sure, pal. Let's tweak the Constitution. Two-thirds vote in the House and Senate and ratification by 3/4 of the states. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh Proponents act like this is some new idea, and have no idea that the “positive bill of rights” was a big feature of the far left in the 30’s and 40’s. Easy to make if sound so good - yet the Soviet Union had a “positive bill of rights” in its constitution. Here’s the trick - if you’ve mandate that Government provide certain things such as food, housing, and medical care, then you also must grant that government unlimited power to fulfill those demands, whatever it requires. Of course, a totalitarian system is always the true goal. Posted by: Tom Servo at August 12, 2026 07:45 AM ============= A totalitarian system is necessary if you make food, health care, and so on, rights. Minimum and maximum rights benefits will need to be established. Good luck writing those into an amendment. Or leaving the definitions to Congress and Presidents. What could go wrong?

Muslim countries can't form a stable worldwide military alliance. They will always fall out over their differences.
One of the side effects of combining religious and political power is that it doesn't give you a respected third party to resolve in-group differences. Since every emir can claim to be caliph as well and often do this means they are all in competition with each other. And you can see this play out in the middle ages/renaissance. The papacy wasn't by any means perfect but it did at times get the secular rulers to act together for the good of Christianity. Posted by: 18-1 at August 12, 2026 08:59 AM (sKqQm) 310

So once again we have a double digit polling error from last nights wisconsin election. In the last poll conducted Aug 4-5 hong was ahead 19 points.
Either massive numbers of people are lying to the pollsters or they are conducting rigged polls. I guess it could be a combination of both. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at August 12, 2026 07:35 AM (cpFbA) == Pollsters are wildly misjudging - probably somewhat deliberately - both the strength of democrats and the weakness of the republicans.

I really liked Pat Crowley, beautiful, leggy, talented singer and dancer. Had an older sister Ann, who was likewise very talented and beautiful. Ann left show business just as Pat was becoming a starlet. Went the marriage, children route. Both lived to be over 90, only recently passing away.

...2AM ballot drops solidified the socialist's loss, and leftists are LIVID this morning!
In general elections when this happens the FNM argues it is because mail in votes are way more left leaning and they get counted last Here those ballots broke for the less leftwing candidate when the Dems/FNM wanted the less leftwing candidate.

Michigan's Dem candidate for Senate Abdul El-Sayed clearly hates Christians and covers up for trans violence But also: this is who the Obama is pushing. Just read yesterday that El Sayed had a podcast with Crooked Media. You know, the Obama bros who started the Pod Save America podcast, THAT Crooked Media, now funded by Soros.

If a GOP in the general is polling 2 to 3 points ahead its more likely double or more in reality. I wonder how long they will keep the charade up.
I think that question is answered in the section that was "mistakenly" left out of the 2024 Election Autopsy where the observation was made that too many people were focused more on creating for themselves "Generational Wealth" than in winning an election.

Pollsters are wildly misjudging - probably somewhat deliberately - both the strength of democrats and the weakness of the republicans. Most of their polling have overstated democrat strength and understated MAGA strength. If a GOP in the general is polling 2 to 3 points ahead its more likely double or more in reality. I wonder how long they will keep the charade up.
Posted by: Black JEM at August 12, 2026 09:10 AM (7/DDO) Squeaky wheel, continued. Who has the least self-control when it comes to shutting their yap? Who has the most free time to participate in polling? Who has the inflated sense of self-worth, while having the least real-world experience that tells them that their opinions aren't worth shit? That would be the self-absorbed, mouthy, unemployed, entitled millennials and Zs. I haven't seen the cross-tabs, and I probably won't, because polling is garbage and a waste of effort, energy, and tiem.

AOC is getting a total makeover. Dumping her white-as-rice boyfriend, freezing her eggs, and setting the table for the Media to black-hole her 'Woke, Model 1" looney tunes far-far-Left statements are all parts of the makeover plan. I think next-up will be moderate facial plastic surgery. Tighten-up here and there, get her increasingly noticeable forehead wrinkles Botoxed and filled-in, and the like. Got to get those done and healed before she announces some time next year.
It looks like she and her highly-paid consultant team believe there is a wide, and mostly wide-open, lane in the 2028 Democrat field just a bit to the right of the DSA lane. Her first moves will be to eliminate the competitors for that lane. Kamala, Newsom, and the other fake moderates. She wants to be the winning fake semi-moderate. Plus look how young she is! Not a political fossil! As I've seen postulated elsewhere, freezing her eggs is a way for her to play a mother concerned about motherly-concerns (education, affordability, the future her children will live in), without being burdened with children.

They'll find other work for Hong to do for the Party. She'd make a good senior level secret police official in the shadow government that's waiting in the wings for when the Party seizes power. Meanwhile, her defeat makes the other loons look normal; that, in addition to voting on the House floor, is also the job of the raving nutjobs in Congress.

Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.
It's not that Sanders didn't care about Francesca winning, but he didn't endorsed her & a narrow loss is fine. Sanders is trying to build an army inside Congress. For the 20th midterm election cycle, Senator Bernie Sanders has endorsed over 90 progressive candidates nationwide, targeting key U.S. Senate, House, gubernatorial, and state legislative races as part of an effort to counter both the traditional party establishment and conservative opponents. (See BernieSanders dot com/endorse.) A nightmarish list. Two of his 'soldiers' recent wins: Michigan, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate (Mid-term primary will be against 'R' Mike Rogers) and Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, U.S. Senate. (Mid-term primary will be against 'R' Michele Tafoya.) Platner for the U.S. Senate was a Sander's problem and Sanders also had endorsed Troy Jackson for Governor of Maine. Jackson didn't win the nomination and now he's the Democratic nominee in the U.S. Senate race for longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins' seat. Big money is needed. And Sanders, AOC & Abdul El-Sayed to appear more moderate for just 84 days, the U.S. midterm elections. Cont'd Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 12, 2026 10:14 AM (NFX2v) 421

In other news, my 2025 tax refund check *finally* showed up. I'll take it to the bank, withdraw some walking-around money, and leave the rest, as I have to make my quarterly estimated tax payment in early Sept. There will still be quite a bit left over, though.
The house I wanted to video tour this week is now under contract. Two more possibilities popped up, but one seems huge and probably hard to heat and cool. The other is close to perfect -- but is located within a few blocks of two Section 8 housing developments. Still I'll have a look at it, I guess. The furry thugs are well.

Yesterday, my husband and I went out for some delicious store made ice cream. I enjoy watching the little kids there and how delighted they are at the ice cream. Yesterday, along with little boys jumping up and down and laughing while looking themselves in the fun house mirror that's there - there was a little girl with a long blue dress which must have been like a dress in a Disney movie. She had long brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. I think she was there with her grandmother and father. I asked how old she was and she held up four fingers. She told me her name is Lana. What a pretty name. I don't think I've ever heard that name aside from the actress Lana Turner.

Tonight the book club meets at the suburban library near me. The topic: "The Cozy Mystery." I'll bring along and discuss Josephine Tey's last novel and possibly her best, The Singing Sands; it may qualify for "cozy" even more than the Christies, Carrs, and Queens I have. And it is certainly more readable than 90% of the modern "cozies" I've read. I don't mind that they all follow the same formula; classic mysteries have theirs too. It's that the moderns are all so dull and the "mystery" element is weaker and thinner than an episode of Barnaby Jones.
And we'll stop to have some ice cream afterward. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 12, 2026 05:47 AM (wzUl9) 62

Given that she supposedly led by double digits, there will be many claims that the Dem party cheated to deny her the nomination. Who knows, maybe. But I think it’s even more likely that she *never* actually led, and that it’s another sign that the entire practice of polling is now irretrievably broken, and produces nothing but nonsense results that mirror the biases of the pollster.

Voting predictions made by online betting sites are also increasingly worthless. The reason is simple - campaigns have discovered that if their candidate wants a boost in his poll numbers, the easiest method is to place a large bet on your own guy. A $100,000 bet is big enough to change the odds , and then other bettors will see the move, jump on board, and amplify it.
They’re the kind of poll where, if you’ve got money to burn, you can buy the results you want. The betting sites don’t care about this, because it’s pure profit for them. Posted by: Tom Servo at August 12, 2026 07:12 AM (pLSjm) 145

Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at August 12, 2026 07:18 AM Thanks for that, had forgotten it. Very good summary. People love the idea that some future event can be mathematically predicted, even when that idea is garbage. Texas polling is particularly awful; Texas has 254 counties, but only 5 or 6 truly high population counties. (The big cities, natch). It’s difficult to contact rural and smaller town voters, so almost every poll down will end up being just a poll of a few hundred voters in those places. Yet it’s known by all that the other 249 counties vote in a completely contrary way to the votes from the big cities. This would be extremely expensive to get around, though, so no public polls even try. I think of this every time I see another stupid Fox poll claiming Talarico is leading Paxton.

Posted by: m at August 12, 2026 08:12 AM (odBC9) Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - August 11, 2026 [Doof]![]() From Shelby Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT has arrived. Content available for those who care. Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight? Another day, another batch of Flock abuses Wisconsin police pull over wrong vehicle, draw guns on woman after Flock cameras mistakenly identified her car in a homicide case. Twice. (H/T to CBD for this one) It happened at around 4:45 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6. Video from I-94 in Waukesha County shows multiple officers with guns drawn - and a passenger sticking their hands out the window. Police pulled the car over after a Flock camera flagged it for a Milwaukee homicide. But when Brookfield Police called the Milwaukee Police Department, MPD said they no longer needed the car or the people inside, so officers let them go. FOX6 News reached out to MPD to learn why that car was still active in the Flock system. The department said it was not a Flock issue, but a personnel issue - staff failed to remove a wanted vehicle alert from the system. *** Another Flock mistake that prompts officers to go in with guns drawn. If either of them had resisted in any way or showed they were upset by the false accusations being made by the cops they may have ended up dead. We've seen that happen before. Also, the cops say "your car flagged the system" as if it were their fault. It was the system that flagged the car incorrectly, not the other way around. There should be some type of monetary compensation for being stopped falsley with guns drawn.

----- Not real = not spectacular Female Cyclists Accused of Using Bra Paddding to Increase Bust Size and Improve Aerodynamics The world of women’s cycling is currently embroiled in a bizarre scandal involving the alleged use of bra padding to increase the bust area of female competitors and modify airflow around the body. Known as “chest fairing,” the controversial practice can allegedly decrease drag and give competitors an unfair advantage during races. According to experts, a smaller bust can favor the formation of a kind of “air pocket” at the level of the cyclist’s abdomen, which marginally increases the drag coefficient. For example, Bert Blocken, professor of aerodynamics at Heriot-Watt University (Scotland), told the British newspaper The Telegraph that chest fairing could provide a reduction of up to 3.6% in drag. *** Originally reported last month by Dutch newspaper “WielerFlits,” the chest fairing trend caused quite a scandal on the women’s cycling circuit, and on August 4th, the cyclists taking part in this year’s Tour de France underwent an additional check of their clothing. It’s unclear if the checks uncovered the use of breast padding, but it’s clear that organizers aim to discourage the practice. The waiting list for that job must be kinda long ----- Bad news for those of you who travel with a humanoid United & Delta Become Latest Airlines To Ban Humanoid Robots From All Flights United Airlines and Delta Air Lines have joined a growing list of carriers prohibiting passengers from transporting humanoid robots on their aircraft, extending restrictions to both cabin baggage and checked luggage. The policies come as airlines respond to the emergence of increasingly lifelike robots that present operational, safety, and handling challenges not addressed by traditional baggage rules. The updated restrictions distinguish humanoid robots from conventional consumer electronics and small robotic devices. While toy robots and other electronic devices that meet existing battery requirements generally remain permitted, human-like robots are specifically prohibited regardless of their intended use. The move follows similar action by Southwest Airlines earlier this year after a highly publicized incident involving a humanoid robot traveling on a commercial flight.

I'm also uneasy about Graham's sister being the GOP nominee in SC. I feel like GOP voters there are being asked to buy a cat in a sack. She has no record, and no-one really what she'll do.

Story time...
Driving through a largely unpopulated area of a mid-southern state late one evening, I had my cruise set to 5 over the speed limit and chillin'. After a while, a state trooper pulls up behind me. He just paces me. There's hardly any other cars on this dark desert highway and I just leave my cruise at 5 over. After a while the lights come on and I pull over. He comes up to the car and is very nice and polite and asks me some questions. We discuss that it's a rental car and I hand him the paperwork; he checks the VIN. He goes back to his car and sits there a while, waiting on information to come back. Eventually he comes back up and informs me the license on my car is not correct, and that's why he pulled me over - it should be on a different car. Turns out the license belongs on an identical model car of a different color. He lets me know he'll call it in so that hopefully I don't get pulled over again. Neither he nor I are happy with the rental car company. The rental company didn't seem particularly perturbed when I told them upon turning in the car.

My buddy brought his 82-year-old grandpa to his bachelor party because the old man was feeling lonely. We all thought we'd have to babysit him. By 2am, we were at a dive bar. Grandpa won $400 playing pool with some local sharks, convinced the bartender to give us a veteran discount on the entire tab, and was teaching the groom how to properly negotiate a mortgage... all while doing vodka shots. BTW, he was the only one who didn't have a hangover the next morning. Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at August 11, 2026 10:42 PM (qx7Zg) 109

Posted by: OrangeEnt at August 11, 2026 10:37 PM (1Ff7Z) The Iowa 80 Truckstop and Trucking Museum is in Walcott, roughly 160 miles east of the proposed Buc-ees location. The Iowa 80 Truckstop and Trucking Museum gets quite a bit of car business, they have a bunch of car gas pumps in front, the truck pumps are in the back. Inside, they have clean restrooms and lots of junk food. I think they have a Wendys inside and some other food offerings. I always stop there when I'm eastbound, as I can fill up and then make it to Indiana and not have to buy gas in Illinois. I hate that state and don't want to give them any money or do anything there except take a piss. They're probably far enough apart to not have a big impact either way.

Anyway, I sometimes buy a plate of goodies for hubby on the way to nursing home. He *loves* Mex food!

Fish I avoid:
Catfish Tilapia Trout Basically, I like any of the sea fish over fresh water fish. Except the little brook trout way up in the Bighorns or Absaroka mountains.

334 I used to walk out on the dock behind the house and two or three tosses of a cast net would produce a pound of shrimp. Posted by: Mike Hammer, late of Beaufort County at August 11, 2026 11:49 PM (XeU6L) My wife and I stayed with a small group out at a lodge at Little Pecan Island, South Louisiana. Now “islands’ down there are just high points in the middle of a swamp, but the wildlife was fascinating. We went out in a canoe and coasted up next to an alligator as long as the canoe was! They were all over. Anyway there were about 15 of us there, and there was a cook/caretaker, and when i asked about supper, he said “oh well just see what we catch.” I thought that was a pretty last minute way to plan dinner for a group of people, but he invited me with him to a little pier on some open water behind the he lodge, and he stood in it and started casting a net. Within about 30 minutes he had two 5 gallon buckets filled with crab, shrimp, and half a dozen kinds of fish. It was astounding! Made me understand why people lived in the swamps - most of it is terrible, but you never go hungry. Posted by: Tom Servo at August 12, 2026 12:03 AM (ZGz6B) 366

Trump issued an EO today: DELIVERING GOLD STANDARD CHILDHOOD VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AMERICANS
It is claimed it will pare the childhood vaxx schedule down to 11 essential shots, instead of the 97 today. I expect that the blue state Governors are going to claim that Trump is unscientific and wants to kill children, and that may be why Fauci's texts on the 83% miscarriage rates on compelled Covid Vaxx were released today. It is hard to say both that all vaxxes are good and required, and fight off claims that the compelled vaxx were essentially first trimester abortifacients at the same time.

There is a third candidate in the DEM race, a white, female state senator. She's getting 7% of the vote. I'd be curious to know whom her candidacy is helping. Her resume sounds pretty midstream.

There’s a good reason betting/prediction markets have become total garbage, incapable of predicting anything. Campaigns have discovered that if they place a big bet on their own candidate - say $100,000 - it moves the odds and makes it look like their guy is gaining, and then other bettors jump on the trend and amplify.
Quite literally, it’s easy to buy a higher poll score if you want to spend money that way. Posted by: Tom Servo at August 12, 2026 12:16 AM (ZGz6B) 385

Crowley's tiny lead has slipped a bit. There's still 65000 or so votes out. Turning to MI, the GOP nominee Rogers (R) was in Congress for 20 years. He's a former FBI agent. He's been endorsed by Trump, but occasionally goes rogue. I like his chances against el-Hamas. Call me crazy. The MI seat was previously held by a DEM so if Rogers were to win, it would be a GOP pickup-- which would make up for the almost ceRtain DEM pickup in NC.

Made some good progress doing fiberglass repairs on the dune buggy body tub. Filled some holes and cracks with fiber-reinforced filler, after sanding off a metric fuckton of "bondo", which has almost nil structural strength. Also used the filler as a bonding agent to fill in a hole with small sheets of fiberglass cut from the removed bottom of the battery tray. Ground all that sort of smooth, and laid up some fiberglass mat and resin over it. After about an hour, the resin still hadn't begun to harden. I carried the body into the shop to keep it out of the rain. If the resin is still uncured by morning, I will hit it with a heat gun to see if I can make it kick. If all else fails, peel it off, wash with acetone, and re-do, being sure to get a NEW tube of catalyst. Pretty sure the catalyst I used was well past its expiry date.

I rattled off his CC#. He pulled the card out of his wallet and turned very pale.... Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 12:57 AM (rdVOm) 458

They've (irrigation people) got it down to numbers, this grass, needs this much fertilizer and flooded at this time with so many acre ft. of water.

If things continue as they are, I think that Hong will just barely be unable to request a recount, almost as if they calculated how many votes they would need for that. IANAL and am just going by my understanding of Brave AI's summary, so when it talks about the margin percentage, I think it would be calculated like this:
Margin / Winner = (Crowley - Hong) / Crowley = (Crowley / Crowley) - (Hong / Crowley) = 1 - (Hong / Crowley) = 1 - (310,037 / 313,34 = 1 - 0.98943 = 0.01057 = 1.057% Posted by: SciVo at August 12, 2026 02:27 AM (Sy6m/) 564

Four seasons-- I am surprised that we are not "restricted" on irrigation water this year. They usually scream "OMG, drought!!!" if any shortage of rainfall... and this year has been quite dry.
Nope. Not a peep. No restriction so far this summer. (Odd!) Anyway, when we're "restricted" the irrigation utility checks meters and cruises the area frequently. If people are watering during *disallowed* hours, or exceed certain threshold: 1st offense: warning 2nd offense: water shut-off. (irrigation, not "domestic") Tampering with valve: Fine and prosecution. They don't F around. Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:35 AM (rdVOm) 570

I grew up in a Chicago home of 890 square feet on a 7000 sf lot. Two parents and six kids. So I really can't complain about anything. I find in the future. But as you say, extra space is nice. Posted by: JM in Illinois at August 12, 2026 02:42 AM (uJWG4) 573
JQ, It's a small town here and we think a lot of people here are connected with the powers that be. Five houses on our street and three are watering their grass. What is funny now their grass is turning yellow. We have such a hot summer this year that no matter how much you water the grass it is going to die, lol.

I water just enough to keep the weeds alive. Most of the grass is "hanging in there" but the yard looks like hell, overall. Meh. As long as it doesn't turn into a dust-bowl, I'm happy. Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:46 AM (rdVOm) 576
Hubby was better at keeping a "lawn" than I'll ever be.
Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:48 AM (rdVOm) 577
What kind of grass? Bluegrass? In a drought it is impossible to put down enough water through an ordinary sprinkler. Normally Bluegrass will go dormant. It looks brown, but it will be fine when cooler temperatures and rain returns in the fall. Just keep foot traffic off it.
They are not only wasting water it will cause the turf to go into root shock and probably kill it. Stupid fuckers. Posted by: Common Tater at August 12, 2026 02:49 AM (kS1bF) 578
We had our yard aerated, seeded and fertilized and then, boom, water restrictions. We can't control the weather. Thank goodness we have not had a nearby wildfire so far. Is Spokane still burning?

Yard here is mainly weeds and "pasture grass"-- it's lovely green in Spring & grows like crazy, so I'd need to mow twice a week.
Once it's HOT, I can relax and just mow the weeds and little patches of fescue (?) every-other week or so... There's chicory, wild lettuce, cheese weed, dandelion and burr-clover to keep it looking *green* from a distance. Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:54 AM (rdVOm) 580
Oh, and a few other weeds what I don't know the names...
Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:56 AM (rdVOm) 581
The rule is, basically either irrigate thoroughly and completely, or don’t irrigate at all. Because, you can’t stop till the fall. Dormancy looks bad, but plants know what they are doing. Imagine that.
Plus, an added benefit of dormancy is you don’t have to mow when it’s 103°. Can’t turn turfgrass “on” and “off” like that, it will go into dormancy just fine, and come out of it just fine, but strangely enough half-assed watering, e.g. some fuckhead standing with a hose in his yard giving it a little sip will likely kill it altogether. This is how weeds take over a lawn. Classic. Posted by: Common Tater at August 12, 2026 02:58 AM (kS1bF) 582

I called 911 and they were here in no time. They caught the guy in the driveway and had their guns pulled and screaming at the guy to get on the ground, get on the ground. He was drunk and was at the wrong house. I was so thankful they responded so quick. There are many good police out there. Posted by: four seasons at August 12, 2026 03:47 AM (/QHx4) 602
Most cops are like most people. Would you want most people to be in a position of power over you?
Probably not. You don't have to think cops are evil (at least not more evil than the average man with man's fallen nature) to recognize what a threat they can be.

Posted by: Cow Demon at August 12, 2026 03:32 AM (ue8gJ) I don't think it's emotional; I think it's the {click}{whrrrr} of a triggered response. With their full-time job being to deal with the antagonistic, it becomes first habit and then character to treat everyone like an antagonist. Action, once chosen, when Repeated, swiftly becomes automatic Habit; which over time settles into Character, such that when added to Circumstance, becomes no less than Destiny. If you're lucky, they're just at the Habit level, where conscious attention is enough to override it. If it's a matter of Character, then they've become antagonists themselves. Big-city cops, such as Chicago and Los Angeles, have a reputation for just being the biggest and best-organized gang; "Badge Gang Goombas," one blogger called them.

When she passed I had about 200 high quality elephant figurines and another hundred that were nice but not really worth anything.

When she passed I had about 200 high quality elephant figurines and another hundred that were nice but not really worth anything.

"Dance, Dance, Dance" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1965 album Beach Boys Today! Written by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, and Mike Love, it was first issued as a single in October 1964, backed with "The Warmth of the Sun".
"Dance, Dance, Dance" marked Carl's first recognized writing contribution to a Beach Boys single, his contribution being the song's primary guitar riff and solo. "Dance, Dance, Dance" was composed by Brian and Carl Wilson, while the lyrics were written by Brian and Mike Love. Although many pop songs raise their key at the start of a final chorus, "Dance, Dance, Dance" subverts this convention by modulating in the middle of the verse. As performed by The Fendertones, a quality father & son Beach Boys tribute band. https://youtu.be/I3vs06IhjIo Chicks are dancing their balls off to this one.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at August 11, 2026 08:25 PM (DzHyO) ---- It doesn't take long for cats to figure out the litter box. Chloe found a suitable litter box within minutes of arriving at my home. Of course, she'd been holding it in for seven hours in my car until that point, so that may have had something to do with it. Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at August 11, 2026 08:29 PM (FZ29D) 136

Rush is an acquired taste. I get why some people really dislike them.
But as a general rule, women have a pretty juvenile taste in music. My wife is an exception, she has good taste. Most of the women I've ever known are stuck with a 14yo's musical palate. They want something with a beat you can dance to, and pop lyrics that aren't too challenging. Where a man might want a nice musical bourbon, they want some 99 bananas. Sorry, not sorry. It is what it is. *prepares for incoming* Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at August 11, 2026 08:33 PM (sU/8L) 139

Dental adhesive is pretty amazing stuff. According to my dentist, it actually forms a chemical bond with your tooth enamel. The downside is if a filling becomes cracked, that will take away some of the tooth enamel with it.

This race, minus Darline, is pure regional politics. Ralph Norman is taking the upstate and Fry is taking his district, with Darline roughly second. Sanford is the spoiler in the Low Country, with that spoilage bleeding up into the Midlands a bit. Norman and Fry are sort of tied below Darline and Sanford. So, the 2nd place winner will be the Upstate vs the Pee Dee balance of votes for their guy. If Sanford wasn't in, the Low Country and Midlands could've still split the vote between Norman and Fry, but they could've swung if they wanted to.

But neither represent what one would call mature music.
Posted by: Braenyard Depends on what you call mature, I cannot stand opera singing for example--I can appreciate the raw talent needed to sing like that at volume but I don't care to listen to it. Not too fond of cRAP either but I can see why others like it. Techno bores me. Other than that, I can listen to Sousa marches, classical in whatever format, jazz although some of the bebop is not my favorite, rock, pop, country, even folk music. So mature is simply a term in the case of music is what I like is mature and what I don't like is immature. FWIW, classical piano trained as a yute for years--hands too small to be a great pianist though. So I played boogie woogie when teacher was outside the room.

Posted by: Aetius451AD Saw them at their popular peak at a couple of shows. Great shows--one of them used the soon to be banned festival seating aka sort it on the floor as there were no seats (Nashville in 82-3 I think). Back in those 70's to 80's days, tickets were affordable for yutes, lots of bands touring, and you did not have to be a billionaire to get good seats--just queue up. Ticketmaster and the assorted scum with their own computerized scalping ruined concert music. The money was there so Ticketmaster and bands still relevant enough to draw people set up perfect price discrimination using the scalper's model. That outpriced it for the fans while catering to the social and money snobs there to be seen with the best seats. Posted by: whig at August 11, 2026 09:00 PM (E4rtv) 187
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reportedly secretly split from her longtime fiancé years before she decided to freeze her eggs.
The controversial New York congresswoman broke up with Riley Roberts and called off their engagement almost two years ago. Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts met when they were both undergraduates at Boston University. The two were last pictured together at the 2021 Met Gala, and Ocasio-Cortez announced their engagement the following year. But about 18 months ago, the engagement was suddenly called off, according to Leigh Ann Caldwell, the chief Washington correspondent for Puck News. It is unclear what may have led up to the split, but insiders have said Ocasio-Cortez stopped wearing her engagement ring in the months before they decided not to get married. The news comes as Ocasio-Cortez announced that she is in the process of freezing her eggs and documenting the process.

The two were last pictured together at the 2021 Met Gala, and Ocasio-Cortez announced their engagement the following year.
But about 18 months ago, the engagement was suddenly called off, according to Leigh Ann Caldwell, the chief Washington correspondent for Puck News. It is unclear what may have led up to the split, but insiders have said Ocasio-Cortez stopped wearing her engagement ring in the months before they decided not to get married. So, "last pictured together" in 2021. Engaged in 2022. Disengaged in 2025? If that's true..... If the paparazzi can't get one picture of you together in 3 years, and you're dating a camera whore like AOC, then you were never her fiance, dude. You were a convenient excuse to brush off all the guys who just wanted to date her. Posted by: mikeski at August 11, 2026 09:10 PM (VHUov) 212

I could read music and still can despite years since doing it but I am in awe of those that can do what your grandmother did. I had to work up for the yearly show that my piano teacher put us through. I had strong hands so she put me playing modern composers with crashing chords--Bartok, Persichetti, etc. rather than something like DeBussy, Bach, or Mozart. Did decent on waltz accompaniments too.

Richard Thompson got a call from Playboy about what he could contribute to a project of the top popular music from the 1000's onwards. He started to do some research as he was already well acquainted with a lot of really old English and Scottish folksongs from playing them for years. Never heard another word from Playboy but decided to cut an album with some of his chums and then tour. You can listen to the whole album on Youtube (about 26 songs). Live concert of him with band playing the songs on the album is here. About 1 hour 47 minutes on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDZdU-snqTs&t=88s Seminar in musicology and Thompson is noted for his wry commentary during the concert on the songs.

Is Hong really gonna follow the same pattern at the jihadist? HUGE lead in the polling and then a "close" win?
That suggests either the establishment cheating and *failing* for their own candidate (highly unlikely) or the polls being totally fake, and the cheating occurring for the bigger leftard, making it naturally close and no one questions it because they lead so big in the fake polling. Something to keep an eye on.

Holy crap. Imagine having explosive diarrhea for 30 years!
From Deadline. The Daily Show has been on the air for 30 years, and the production is celebrating by looking back at the audition tapes from some of its most famous correspondents. Over the years, the Comedy Central late-night news satire show has seen many comedians on screen, and their audition clips prove why they were chosen to be part of the “best f**king news team.” Posted by: Stateless - Keeping 15 year old Ralphy happy and alive.

Rufus, you would probably like the songs that Richard and his ex wife Linda did. Some beautiful albums--Shoot out the Lights and I Want to See The Bright Lights Tonight are fantastic and still in print.
--Standout songs from these albums are Wall of Death (carnival ride), I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (humorous), and Calvary Cross, (long tour de force featuring guitars and a fearsome vocal by Thompson). There were at least two earlier albums that are more experimental as Richard became involved in Sufism and mysticism and that was in part why Linda and him broke up eventually.

Posted by: Common Tater at August 11, 2026 09:24 PM (lYuPF) There was an old farmer where I lived who liked to party, and by party I mean having 30 or 40 people in his yard drinking. You could drive by there and if you heard music and saw a crowd, you could just stop in. ID? What ID? Needless to say, he had a lot of empty beer cans from this. He was dumping them in a gully that'd formed in a 40 acre field some distance from the house, presumably in an attempt to check erosion. Finding that was like finding a friggin' goldmine for a bunch of teens. I wonder if he ever noticed that the gully somehow never seemed to fill up. Not that he would likely have given much of a shit if he did. He was one of the most laid-back old timers I've ever met. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at August 11, 2026 09:51 PM (IG3/x) 292

Kevin Dalton Defund the police. Portland Police arrested an occupant of the infamous "Red House" last week following a home raid over reports that William Kinney III allegedly threatened to kill employees and contractors working on a project next door. Kinney, a 41-year-old convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, was booked into jail August 4 on charges including possession of a short-barreled rifle, five counts of felon in possession of a firearm, and three counts of being a felon in possession of body armor, records show. The Red House was at the center of a violent Antifa-Black Lives Matter autonomous zone in 2020, where far-left demonstrators erected borders and barricades to prevent the eviction of the Kinneys, a black Indigenous family who had been squatting at the home. During the home raid, authorities recovered a cache of weapons, including a KelTec 9mm rifle in the living room, and three rifles and a shotgun in the bedroom, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Oregonian. Additionally, police seized a stockpile of ammunition and three sets of body armor. Kinney is forbidden from possessing firearms and body armor as a convicted felon. Records show Kinney was released from the Multnomah County Jail after posting a low $25,000 bail. He reportedly harassed and threatened to shoot contractors working on the nonprofit Self Enhancement Inc.'s property next to the home, which sparked the raid. Kinney reportedly made threats for several consecutive months and threw stones at contractors in July before threatening a drive-by shooting, per the affidavit.Defund the police.

Red states need to pass laws revoking home rule for any city over 1 million.
It's the only way we can end these violent blue cities. At 1 million MSA, the mayor of the main city is a statewide election. At 2 million, the mayor and 2 city council seats. And then a city council seat for each million thereafter. Thus, Houston would have the mayor and 6 city council seats as a statewide election. This would end blue cities.

A new land speed record was set today in Utah by British driver Andy Green, driving a specially designed JCB Hydromax car, which reached 406.320 miles per hour.
The milestone was set in the bright yellow tubular vehicle, powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines, which Green calls the “fuel of the future” at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.

---- Let's see, we can start with "fundamentally non-serious".

168 Within a couple months, DC society reporters will report breathlessly about AOC's """new""" whirlwind romance with Prominent Democrat Party Insider X.
