The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a massive meat recall on more than 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products that officials said were produced without federal inspection.
According to the nationwide recall alert, Star Meat Delivery Inc., located in Lucama, N.C., is recalling the meat, which officials said is labeled with a false USDA mark of inspection. *** Would it be surprising to learn one of the co-owners was sentenced to prision for removing FDA tags on diseased beef in 2016? Note, the Hill commenters blame TooRump for the company's crimes. Posted by: weft cut-loop at September 25, 2026 10:09 PM (nEUC6) 22
Reading back on the Week in Woke post about the Renn fair banning Furries.
Every year there's a big Furry convention in the hotel that is right across the street from the hockey arena where the team my wife works for plays. This past winter, we were on our way to the arena for a game and stopped at a light - when we saw.... a large ... person... in a dog... costume... on his hands and knees... "walking"... across the cross walk... while being leashed to a ... shall we say.. a lady who was a leather expert. In broad daylight. On a public, downtown street. These people vote...

Disturbing thought of the day: As an adult, you can be pretty sure that every hand you shake has had a penis in it as some point.
************* I've had a lovely day and wish I had not read this. Because I will remember it always as that's how my brain works. I remember details others miss, weird stuff, trivia stuff, important stuff, stuff I'd rather not remember, thanks. This falls into the latter category. For example: The ortho doc yesterday had a very firm handshake which I noted to my husband. I also have no knowledge, nor do I want any, of glory holes.

I read the weirdest article today.
Because AI is doing all the entry level grunt work, companies are worried their entry level employees aren’t getting experience and will be ill prepared as they progress through their careers. So the solution is to use less AI and have these people do the work right? No you silly goose.that’s crazy talk obviously you don’t hold an MBA from a prestigious university. No, the solution is creating simulated fake work for them to do, while AI still does the actual work. That’s the type of out of the box thinking a Harvard MBA teaches.

Another fine Friday ONT, WD. Thanks for the work.
"I'm helping" I quit going to a local pizza place years ago because there was an employee doing various nasty cleaning things and then without so much as wiping off her gloves started stocking the salad bar. A complaint to the manager brought no good response, and we never went back. We'd spent a lot of money there in the past. Too bad for them. Their pizza was average, the salad bar was okay (except in retrospect), but mostly the kids liked the video/pinball games. Ah, well.

My husband would sing it to me simply to annoy me now and then that long hot summer with 10lb son. Who caused weird cravings like Oreos at 2am and everything on a hot dog (I don't like hot dogs). This was bad enough, plus the frat boys mooing at me when I crossed the street nearly sent me over the edge. They were in a convertible and seriously I wish I had launched myself into the car and said, "Who's laughing now?" Which is also an annoying song.

On the list of shit songs, I notice 'The Pina Colada Song' is noticeably absent.
Let's see - A bored, emotionally checked-out husband decides the solution to his dead marriage is to answer a personal ad from some woman who likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. He writes back under a fake name, they set up a shady meeting at a bar, both clearly ready to cheat. When he shows up, the mystery woman turns out to be his own wife, who was also so sick of him that she placed the exact same ad. They stare at each other in mutual embarrassment, realize they’re both equally scum of the earth and dishonest, and somehow decide this is romantic instead of deeply pathetic. The end.

Marines: For those of you who were never in the Parachute Ski Marines and didn't do basic at Macho Grande, magazines are typically loaded using a "stripper clip", a metal tray that holds cartridges by the base and allows the rounds to be pushed (stripped) into the magazine body.
To keep everything in alignment, a small metal guide slides onto the magazine and holds the clip while the cartridges are pushed into the magazine box. Once the cartridges are in, the guide is removed from the magazine. The unfortunate Marine wasn't listening when they told him how to use a stripper clip guide, and managed to shove the entire clip into the magazine. I suspect there is another clip already in the magazine, and now it is hopelessly jammed. Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at September 25, 2026 10:41 PM (t/Q8n) 122

Our very conservative Catholic school used to have an 8th grade father/daughter dance.
When I took my oldest daughter, the dance was a big flop ... because middle school girls with their fathers. One of the moms running the dance decides to get transgressive and puts on "I'm Too Sexy". No one at all goes out to dance, so after a few beats, I head out to the dance floor and start lip-synching and doing a fair imitation of the guys dancing in the MTV video. After my first pass across the gym, I rip off my sports coat and make another pass. At this point all of the dads are howling and the girls that have seen the video are giggling and trying to explain it to their friends. I get back to my daughter and reach out my hand. She pauses for a moment, and then concedes that sometimes you just have to go with the "dad joke" rather than fight it. She comes out on the dance floor and starts copying me, but much more gracefully. Shortly thereafter the dance floor gets flooded with fathers and daughters, and the rest of the dance goes very well. When alcohol is not a permissible social lubricant, some times you just need a big 'ol Idiot. Needless to say, I still like that song.

Evening, all,
Some of those "hits that shouldn't have happened" were pretty darn good. "Afternoon Delight" was charming. "The Chipmunk Song" (in small doses, say, once a year) and "The Streak" (ditto) were funny, as was "My Ding-a-Ling." And "Macarena" has an irresistible melody to it. None of them is "City of New Orleans," "Classical Gas," "Fancy," or "Ode to Billie Joe," but not many songs can be.

As bad as W's GOPe admin was, imagining algore's SCOTUS picks and his cabinet's ratcheting of regulatory tyranny, it brings a smile to my face to think that Morello et al. were such dopey Nader stans that they inadvertently saved us from that.

To our cool northern brethren, in the exceedingly unlikely event this war happens, rather than dying horribly 30 to 1 to an overwhelming military force because your elite liberal betters expect you to cosplay the Taliban because they spent all your tax dollars on retarded liberal shit instead of tanks or artillery, the cool provinces could just tell Ottawa to fuck off. You can become independent countries and get rich selling oil and minerals! [. . . ]How profoundly fucking sad is the Canadian government that they think being the Taliban is ASPIRATIONAL? The Taliban died in droves. They lost every battle with insanely bad K/Ds. They didn't "win" the war so much as America just kinda blundered around for twenty years failing to create a flourishing Jeffersonian democracy from a bunch of goat molesting cavemen for some baffling reason, until we said fuck it, this is lame, we're out of here.

Driving up the mountains today to look at fall colors a song by The Who came on. My dude knows I hate them and explained to me that I hate Roger Daltry. Ok. Whoever.
I don't know why, which is my standard answer to anything. I am so happy that I have nothing to do tomorrow! What a great day is ahead! If I have a week or two of social stuff I start getting a bit nuts. I am right there currently on the map. We "had" to meet DIL's parents for dinner Wed night after doing a bunch of stuff for two weeks of socializing. They were visiting from FL and I like them. Her mother is fun when she's not wacko from travel (I will blame this instead of her mother's cat who bit her wrist and she showed me). I heard, in great detail, about her father being cremated (semi-normal discussion), and her uncle who's an undertaker of a funeral home and gory details I'd rather not know. I kept thinking she'd stop so I could change the subject but this went on for awhile and I tried not to glug my wine. My husband says she's the only person he's met who talks more than I do...but at least I'm entertaining and don't have a cat bite. The food also sucked at this restaurant.

Went down a rabbit hole recently about songs that a pretty much disgusting, but everyone sings them anyway without knowing the real meaning behind the song.
For example: The Knack "My Sharona" is about the lead singer of the band being obsessed and pining over an underage minor. I think you'd be surprised (or not) how many songs were truly and completely misinterpreted. "Every Breath You Take" is about a stalker....and how many weddings was that played at?

So far I think I have hated every song mentioned tonight.
One of my brothers nearly went loco when his roommate played "I Will Always Love You" sung by Whitney Houston over and over again. Yes I know Dolly wrote it. I'm not sure if we should invade Canada based on Celine Dion's stuck stiff person disease. I think she's playing in Las Vegas now. I saw a photo recently of her waving her arm around at any rate that did look stiff. Sometimes I only skim the surface of stuff I don't want to know. She's always been weird, marrying that old man. Then having a demonic clothing line for babies. Then her stiff disease, which she's always seemed to have had anyway. I'm not fond of "My Heart Will Go On." Apparently everything is frozen in amber with her. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 25, 2026 11:06 PM (hzuYO) 197

What is grunge?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at September 25, 2026 11:16 PM (JrHfD) Lucky woman. Grunge was a music genre from the 90's that started in Seattle as a form of underground rejection of the way that new wave and punk became industrialized, and made exactly like the music they were supposed to be objecting to. And once it became popular it was picked up by the major labels and turned into the very form of music it was supposed to be rejecting. Grunge made flannel shirts popular as urban street wear. Also, think Nirvana or Alice in Chains, or Pearl Jam, or Temple of the Dog. You know. Them. Posted by: Kindltot at September 25, 2026 11:26 PM (rbvCR) 243

We Built This City was an anti-corporate, bitter song about the music industry. It just had the veneer of happy, mid 80s, bounce to it. It did get overplayed but every 80s Pop hit got overplayed. I think the hate for it is overblown. It is 'meh' but it's not terrible either.

Evening all.
I didn't have a chance to chime in earlier today on the Lindsay Clancy post, and the vile opinion column by Wendy Murphy. She always had a bit of a feminist streak going back years, but clearly being in the ivory tower of edumacation has influenced her. In fact, she was one of the first harpies pointing at Karen Read as guilty of murdering her Boston cop boyfriend all based on planted evidence from a purposely botched investigation, and statements by a local news outlet of slam-dunk video evidence that didn't actually exist. And she's been strangely silent about the murder of a young woman by the name of Sandra Birchmore who was abused and groomed by LEOs in Canton, MA and the Mass. State Police. Oh, and she was 10 weeks pregnant at the time. Posted by: Effie Perrine at September 25, 2026 11:29 PM (Zr3aZ) 248

AI told me my hosting costs would be unmanageable due to outraged advocacy groups and angry people. I told AI that I would put ads on the site and likely make money off the perpetually offended, so I would have double income. AI told me there wouldn't be a market. And, I told AI to get out more... 78% support the deportations, 54% support removing all illegals. That's a majority customer base. AI told me I would likely be sued.

Also, I am trying to shave down a broken shovel handle for my trenching shovel. I did it once before, but the draw knife and my poor abilities made it a conical shape to fit in a tubular handle, so it broke because of the poor fit.
So I thought to myself, if only I had some sort of lathe so I could try paring it down with a chisel. Not having a lathe I have screwed a couple of L brackets to the picnic table to make a rudimentary lathe. Supposedly it will be powered by my wife using the socket adaptor on the electric drill to spin it. We will see if my rudimentary lathe will do any good, tomorrow.

I saw a question on a leftwing forum, "Would cruise ships exist in a socialist state?". I originally understood that as "would a socialist state actually bother to provide such an expensive form of entertainment?" but apparently what they really meant was cruise ships are bad for da Erf.
But I don't care about stupid leftist virtue signaling so...I took a look at what the Soviet Union provided and the answer is mixed. The Soviets did convert a group of ships into cruise liners and they used them partly for local cruising around the black sea and partly as real cruise ships for foreigners even losing one on rocks off of Australia. Looking at the Black Sea cruise experience well...no private bathrooms and people packed in like sardines... doesn't look fun to me but I'll give them credit they did allocate some resources to building cruise ships though a cynic might assume it was to build knowledge on how to run the profitable international cruises.

Instead of using a chisel, try spinning the handle in your rudimentary lathe and using a flap wheel on an angle grinder to form the taper. To use a chisel on a wood lathe, you need a VERY solid tool rest. The forces involved can be pretty fierce.

>> Black Hole Sun" is canon now.
Yes, the Little Red Dots, and this is rapidly converging to "big black hole" "stars" if you can call them. Fascinating and evolving thing. The question was always where did the yuge, supermassive black holes that are at the center of most galaxies come from? Did they come from mergers of stellar mass black holes somehow, or did they somehow come earlier. It's looking like that latter now. The black holes formed first,and were the seeds around which galaxies formed. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 25, 2026 11:47 PM (w6EFb) 277

I'm sure I've seen every Saint and Falcon movie. Watched a lot of the B series movies, Torchy Blaine, Boston Blackie, Dick Tracy, Hildegarde Withers, Maisie, about 10 Andy Hardy movies, they are great fun and filled with so many excellent character actors. Watched every Dead End, East Side Kids, Bowery Boys too. These cheapo movies kept a bunch of studios afloat.
Kay Kyser and his band made four feature films for RKO. The first one, "You'll Find Out" is very good comedy/horror movie. Lugosi, Karloff, Peter Lorre are in it. Posted by: Study In Black and White at September 25, 2026 11:49 PM (Fn+3X) 280

I just watched a Warhammer 40K vid where the joke was everyone that went to the team medic got shot not matter what their condition was, and another soldier trying to learn from him who would not do that failed to get certified as a medic.
At the end they have the younger soldier expressing his woe noting, "Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone suffering from a minor short term illness is shoot them in the back of the head" as the video goes from the space marines scene to...a Canadian flag.

He does pretty well, although there are occasional soft spots, because we have some pretty tall birch trees around the joint. I suppose it would have helped to run it up the flagpole, but of course then it could have blown off. It has been a lesson in patience, but mostly good.

Obviously I am not RC, but I was interested in reading about the beatification of Fulton Sheen, because he sounds like both a very scholarly as well as a kind, devout man who loved Jesus and his work in the church. I think we need as many holy people to intercede for us as possible. , and I know he was no friend to communism and loved the U.S. Also, I was concerned that it be a safe Mass for all involved and since I didn't hear anything to the contrary. I guess it was. Thanks, God!

It's the little 29 dollar USB dongle I bought to give wifi capability to my old desktop computer. And I think the issue is that the OS loses its grip on the USB bus every so often.

I have tapered hammer and shovel handles by using the bench grinder.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 25, 2026 11:51 PM (dPOOv) And I might do that, but I don't want a tapered piece, I did that last time with a draw knife. The shovel socket is cylindrical, and if the handle is tapered, it puts all the stress on the wood at the mouth of the socket when I pry with it. That is why it broke at that very point this last time, I suspect. If I can get it taken down to fit the socket more closely, it should spread the stress for the entire socket wall, and maybe the handle will last a couple of years more before I have to buy another handle. I mostly use it for digging out root balls and the like. Love that shovel for making holes.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 26, 2026 12:41 AM (dPOOv) ====== The received wisdom as to why Canada cancelled the trade deal discussions with the US is that at least 3 premiers threatened Carney with a revolt. Probably more than 3 were ready to rumble if the Canadian tariffs were reduced or eliminated. Carney still hasn't given Canadians a full answer for the lack of a trade deal. The absence of political transparency in Canada is frightening - in every sense of the word. I'm more sympathetic about Smith's position - she needs a popular referendum on the matter of separation before she can play hardball with the Carneyites. Otherwise, Ottawa would hammer her as a separatist, or worse. Posted by: mrp at September 26, 2026 12:52 AM (rj6Yv) 346
Or the provincial leaders will be bought off by some trinkets and you'll never get the chance to be rid of Ottawa again.
"Does this boot make my face flat?" Posted by: OrangeEnt at September 26, 2026 12:49 AM (1Ff7Z) which is why I do not trust Danielle Smith. If the referendum passes, she should resign as Premier, and make way for a hard-liner to take the helm. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 26, 2026 12:53 AM (dPOOv) 347

Posted by: mrp at September 26, 2026 12:52 AM (rj6Yv) Danielle Smith is damaged goods. She became the leader of the (very) conservative Wildrose Party, and was in line to become Premier. Then she made a deal with the (squishy) provincial Conservative Party, and squish Jason Kenney became Premier. Set us back at least 5 years.

My little USB wifi dongle just quit again. Unplugged it, and replugged; started working again, but it was uncomfortably warm. Maybe streaming tuns through it is taxing it too much. It is a dinky little thing, about a quarter the size of a thumb drive.

Because for a long time, I have been experiencing the occasional keyboard and mouse freeze-up, which eventually resolves itself. Could be a glitch on the motherboard, too.

This beaver's got big plans for his new dam.
__________________________ One of the funniest things I've ever seen is this woman who ended up having to raise a beaver (not a euphemism for pilates). I forget the circumstances, but she ended up having an adult beaver living in her house. And, this little bastard would survey the house and find things he could carry and end up building a damn in the hallway leading to the kitchen, every damn day. Half way through the video, she says to her husband, "Where's Rico?" and leaves the kitchen to search for the beaver....and just as she leaves the kitchen you hear a yelp and a whole bunch of crashing off camera as she presumably tripped over something....then a shout. "YOU LITTLE SHIT. THATS MY SEWING MACHINE!!!" Posted by: Orson at September 25, 2026 07:33 PM (dIske) 23

Just watched another video today about how every time Shaqulle O'Neal goes to the zoo (which he does a lot because he loves zoos) he always goes to the Primate portionj to taunt the Silverback gorillas. He'd go with team mates, and they all said Shaq loves to stare them down and they all always come over to the glass and just stare back...except when they were in Philly the one time and there is a giant Albino Silverback named Joey there who just waltzed right up and started pounding hard on the glass trying to get at him. Shaq said he was pissed because Joey didn't know how Shaq had escaped. Gotta love Shaq. Posted by: Orson at September 25, 2026 07:43 PM (dIske) 32

Now the soft rock might be a thick deposit of volcanic ash, and the harder cap rock a lava flow, but the mechanism for forming the pillars is clearly erosion.

Penguins are non-existent in the Arctic because the few that made it there were eaten long ago. This account illustrates why the mephitic menace has not managed to migrate to the most Northern parts of the globe:
"In the second voyage of Sir John Ross to the arctic regions, he purchased a sledge of the Esquimaux, and on examining it, it was found to be made of frozen penguins, with skins sewed over them; but the cross pieces were the leg bones of the reindeer. It was not an erroneous conjecture of some of the crew, that when these poor creatures are driven to extremity for food, they turn to and make a dainty meal of their sledges, as, with the exception of the reindeer bones, the whole of them is eatable."

“In the service of the first A [aeronautics] in NASA, we are rebuilding our X-plane fleet. The X-59 is researching quiet supersonic flight, but it’s just the beginning,” the NASA head told attendees.
Questions about the disappearance of the SR-71 come a week after NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman discussed plans for a new high-altitude, high-speed X-plane -Serial 61-7980 was the last SR-71 built and the last to fly, _Sources told the publication that the plane was moved into a hangar earlier this year for an inspection,... “As NASA recommits to flight test and works alongside industry to push the boundaries of airframe and propulsion design, it will not be long before NASA once again is flying as high and as fast as we had in decades past, and then even more.” _ZH https://tinyurl.com/4e9pzbxm Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 25, 2026 08:48 PM (vC80E) 84

There are at least nine Flock automated license plate readers (ALPRs) currently monitoring the traffic lanes used by drivers entering the Pentagon's parking lots, including many of the DOD's own employees.
The purpose of these cameras is to give the Pentagon's security forces the ability to automatically record information about incoming vehicles that may pose a security risk. But if the alleged vulnerabilities of Flock cameras are as serious as the company's critics allege, then this equipment could be exploited to obtain a detailed list of the national security officials seen entering the Pentagon each day. In this way, the Pentagon's rush to obtain security equipment from private contractors may pose a national security risk of its own. Concerns about the ability of Flock products to track people alongside cars has produced backlash from privacy-minded citizens, resulting in both protests and contract cancellations. Others have criticized Flock's devices for security vulnerabilities that expose them to unauthorized users, flaws which could be especially dangerous in the context of military facilities Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 25, 2026 09:37 PM (vC80E) 108

Missing Blackbird,
Remember when NASA pulled an old F-1 out of storage from Marshal and partially test fired it to try and figure out how it worked. Well maybe NASA is going to start doing some technically risky research again. I really would like to see some testing done on the linear aerospike engine. Posted by: pawn at September 26, 2026 12:59 AM (XKNhI) The Week In WokePanel recommends the 12-month suspension of the American Psychological Association over "pervasive culture of antisemitism." NACIQI recommends that the Senior Department Official (SDO) suspend the American Psychological Association Commission on Accreditation's recognition for 12 months from the SDO decision on the grounds of non-compliance with all sections listed as non-compliant in the final staff report and that the agency has failed to address the pervasive culture of antisemitism within the programs that it accredits," the decision read. The NACIQI is an 18-member advisory body, established in 1992, that makes recommendations to the U.S. Secretary of Education on "matters related to accreditation and to the eligibility and certification process for institutions of higher education."43% of "Americans" have a positive view of socialism. More than four in ten Americans have a positive view of socialism -- 43 percent -- only 12 points lower than the 55 percent who view capitalism positively, a recent Gallup survey revealed. The survey asked respondents if they have a negative or positive image of small business, free enterprise, capitalism, socialism, and big business. Small business had the highest rating at 95 percent positive, followed by free enterprise with 77 percent positive, and capitalism with a 55 percent positive rating. However, 43 percent now have a positive view of socialism. This is "the first time this figure has exceeded 39% in Gallup's trend since 2010," Gallup reported. Democrats' view of socialism has grown more positive over the past several years. More than half, 57 percent, had a positive view of socialism in 2018. Now, that figure among Democrats stands at 65 percent. Coinciding with that is the fact that Democrats view capitalism less favorably, dropping from 42 percent in 2025 to 35 percent in 2026. Similarly, independents are cozying up to the ideology. In the last year alone, independents went from a 37 percent positive view of socialism to 45 percent. Feminist Karens are always contriving fake reasons that men aren't allowed to see attractive women. Rather than admitting what it is -- simple catty jealousy -- they spam out fake political reasons. Oh, it's not just that we're bitter jelly wallflowers. It's that we don't want to see female athletes sexualized. They don't explain why they've never objected to all the naked female athletes in the Sports Illustrated "Body" issues. They also don't explain why they don't object to male athletes like David Beckham wearing just their skivvies in ads. See, that's just "modeling" this horrid and vapid feminist femsplains.Feminists are very fond of the "It's Different Because I Said So" style of argument, you may have noticed. Not only do transgenders experience fewer murders than the general population, but the murders they experience are committed by their "intimate partners," not strangers attempting a "trans erasure." The Dutch have reported that their first euthanasia of a baby went well with no complications, except for killing a baby, of course. Antifa types try to block a highway with ropes but a truck says f you hippie scumbags. The full Converse ad that professional and semi-pro Grievance Grifters pretend is a KKK dog whistle. When you see the whole video, you better appreciate how completely fabricated this latest Race Hoax is. A Maryland Renaissance Festival has done what was necessary and banned the furries.
I've never been to a Ren Faire -- yet -- but when I do go, I hope to see people in dark-ages era outfits, especially busty girls with low necklines. I don't want to see a bunch of smelly autistic perverts in Sexy Wolf costumes. Adult female toddler has meltdown over the fact that her old female friends are now married with families and so can't go out to half-price margaritas night at Chi-Chi's at the drop of a hat like they used to. SJWs have instruction manuals for how to validate yourself and cultivate your already-overgrown narcissism. Self-care isn't just for deranged AWFULs, either. It's also for aging overrated pussyboy leftist "rockers." I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸Video here.

That Dutch story is hard. I sympathize with parents watching their baby struggling to breath and having scary epileptic fits. I know that euthanasia is bad for society, Canada shows that when MAID, or euthanasia is an option and the bureaucracy is deciding on treatments, any condition that is chronic or expensive to treat becomes "death is the best treatment"

The flaw in socialism is right there in its own definition. We want to redistribute resources fairly, right? Equality, right? Well, some people are not going to want to give up what they worked for. So there must be a coordinating committee of "allocators" to decide who gets and who loses.
The moment you have those allocators in place, deciding things the others cannot, there goes your equality. Thus proving that socialism, let alone communism, will not work. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 25, 2026 06:30 PM (wzUl9) 77

Medieval sanitation wasn't up to par with modern standards (or Roman standards frankly), but it did exist. People were aware you had to cook stuff properly, that poo had to be carted outside the city gates, and that rats were bad. Problems started to recur in the early-modern period when spices and perfumes started showing back up. Kitchens didn't have to take care of the cooking so much. Men and women at court could hide their stench (I've been to Versailles, they had discreet nooks to drop loads, the servants would sweep them off).

As I recall, the Ren Faire people, the Society for Creative Anachronism or SCA, had the year 1600 as a cutoff. You could not develop a character from a period later than that. So I guess you could role-play a contemporary of the young Shakespeare, who began his career in the 1500s, but not someone who knew Donne, Milton, or Dryden.
Not sure what their earlier cutoff was, or if they had one. Maybe after the dissolution of Rome as an empire? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 25, 2026 06:36 PM (wzUl9) 93

Original 1985 Pairs Used/Vintage: Typically sell for $3,000 to $15,000, with the black/red colorway often fetching $800 to $4,000 depending on wear and size. Deadstock (Unworn): Can command $20,000 to $50,000+, with specific high-demand pairs like the OG Chicago reaching up to $61,805. Mine were black/red, worn but not terrible shape, Size 9s IIRC.

Regarding premature babies & the killing of that Dutch toddler (which made me sad & I rarely read similar)...
Grandson has a friend in school. Granted her parents are 100% insane & I won't get into that. She was born premature, but not 26wks. She's worn glasses & has other issues, which seem mild, since she was a baby. A bit odd looking and with her parents I just don't know. However, this kid can RUN. We were at a cross country yearly deal yesterday. The kids run almost 2mi and she is fast and came in 3rd overall for her age group and the first of girls. Grandson, meanwhile, was the middle of the pack and that's fine with us. We did not have sports til 7th grade. These are 3rd graders. She may not score high on exams or be the prettiest in her class, but this girl can run. The poor baby the Dutch killed made me sad. I was blessed with healthy babies at term (well, eldest went beyond). Our first girlie came in the middle of the pack because, like me, she wasn't trying. She could do anything but doesn't care (like me). We go to our car and there is this nitwit father telling a 5yr old, sort of a quiz, on how to be an "athlete." I wanted to tell him to let the kid be a kid. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 25, 2026 07:05 PM (hzuYO) 184

I honestly think or guess the popularity of socialism is that these idiots think life will be like a big pie. Between college debt and idiocy they want more, more, more.
Divided into pieces from everyone dumping their wealth or income into the pie and divided up. I think not. We were poor college grads starting out. Poor newlyweds. We worked hard, bought our first house under Carter's 12% interest rates. Remodeled and lived there 10yrs. Barely made a profit raising 2 boys, but cut debt, and built a beautiful home and later a pool in FL for 20yrs. Sold that one and bought the forever home out West where we met. Working/sacrifice is a mystery to these "socialists" who think because their parents did well they should by birth. Tough luck. Shut up. And, no, I am not sharing. Pay your dues.

The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), which oversees the country's merchant marine fleet, has ordered SUNY Maritime College to send its training ship "Empire State" into federal service. The ship normally serves as a floating classroom for maritime cadets, however MARAD has the authority to activate these vessels up for national missions.
Empire State departs the Bronx campus September 30, arrives in Norfolk, Virginia October 1, and will spend a month there getting its flight deck certified before moving into a support role for the Navy. That role hasn't been confirmed. MARAD expects the mission to last about 170 days. ------------- What's up? Is the Navy that short of ships? The Merchant Marine did participate in WWII.

206 -- Donna Andrews set one of her Meg Langslow mysteries at an SF con. I can't remember which book.
Posted by: Captain Josepha Sabin at September 25, 2026 08:19 PM (DK5Sh) Perfect: Nikole Hannah-Jones Didn't Just Send Her Daughter to a Failing School, She Sent Her Daughter to a School That Teaches Her Fraudulent "1619" AgendaI didn't highlight an important part of Nikole Hannah-Jones' virtue-sacrificing of her daughter to boost her career as a professional race hustler. I rage-quit the article just a thousand words in. John Sexton read further -- and found that the school routinely allowed fights, did not discipline students, and didn't even grade students.Toward the end of first grade, Najya started sometimes saying she didn't like her school and complaining how chaotic it was at lunch. I decided to visit during the lunch period and was shocked by what I saw. Najya's class and another class were sitting at their tables in the cafeteria with no lunch and no adult supervision. Children were running wild, chasing, hitting and pushing each other while the teacher's aides and cafeteria workers stood by looking bored. Several times, I had to instruct children to stop striking each other and to sit down, at one point physically pulling two boys apart. When I asked one of the aides why the children weren't being supervised, she told me the lunch period was short-staffed. After I sat back down with Najya, she told me, "It's always like this, and that's why I don't want to go to this school." ... Finally, a few days before school let out for winter break, I received a folder in Najya's backpack with the math assignments I had been requesting since our conference. Once I tucked her into bed, I sat at my dining room table and scanned one page, then another and another. None of them were graded. I started checking Najya's work and discovered most of her answers were wrong. Najya believed herself to be good at math -- it was her favorite subject. But now I understood she thought she was correctly solving all her problems because her teacher was not checking her work. Similarly, Najya's writing assignments were rife with uncorrected punctuation, capitalization and grammar errors.This isn't a question of money, this is a result of poisonous leftwing policy imperatives about "equity," insisting that grades are anti-equity as they separate good learners from poor ones, and that punishing any student is likewise anti-equity because good-behaving students aren't punished at all. By abandoning all standards, a single standard is selected by default: the standard of the sewer, the standard of the pit. "Equity" is the only thing that matters. It's pure Harrison Bergeron. Remember, the only thing we need to do to improve failing schools is pay teachers more and give every student his own laptop. It has nothing at all to do with ending all disciplining, suspension, and expulsion of chronically disruptive and even violent black students. The Federalist notes that the deranged narcissist Nikole Hannah-Jones just happened to Virtue-Sacrifice her daughter at a shithole school that didn't teach students anything, but did waste time teaching her debunked, fraudulent "1619" thesis. Some kids can't do homework therefore "equity" demands that no students do homework, including the more advanced students who could actually gain from it. " Under the Unison system, students completed their assignments during class time where a teacher could guide and help if they got stuck. But for students like Najya, this practice proved absolutely harmful," Hannah-Jones admitted. "She'd bemoan how the less experienced teachers struggled to manage their classrooms and would expend so much attention on the small number of kids acting out that they'd be unable to complete their lessons or help a student stuck on a problem. There were occasionally fights in the hallway." Instead of disciplining any children who acted out in class, teachers had to "refocus students and mitigate conflict" in real-time, meaning they had very little opportunity for actual class instruction. In the same sentence, Hannah-Jones claims that "this is good educational practice," and then adds, "but kids like Najya, who were just trying to do their work, saw this treatment as deeply unfair." In reality such policies are unfair because not disciplining students deprives both misbehaving students and their more studious peers of educational consistency throughout the day. Like not assigning homework, or "equity grading," there is no accountability or rigor during or outside the school day, and students in such schools often end up advancing years in school while remaining academically stunted.When her ill-prepared daughter finally went to a more academically focused school -- which was attended mostly by (spit) whites and (spit) Asians -- she found that her shithole school fake education left her woefully unprepared. Remember, the only problems here are "racism" and white people not paying enough in taxes to "resource" these schools properly. The problem is definitely not the destructive left-wing cult of "equity" that left-wing blacks have forced on their own children. Don't worry, guys -- Randi Weingarten says she's going to figure out Who's Responsible For This.

The other shocking statistic I have seen is how many public school teachers send their own children to private schools.

Per student per year costs in major cities has exceeded $30,000. The answer to education is to fire all the teachers and administrators, bulldoze the schools and give the money to the parents. If the child passes a standardized test each year, the payments continue. If not, the money is given to a "educational advisor" to spend on the child's behalf. It's pretty simple.

It's pretty obvious that the school Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to wasn't even capable of that basic function. It was a zoo. A menagerie of animals that were not confined to cages.

Attended a middle school volleyball game yesterday.
I had no kid on the court, yet I was the loudest cheerleader in the building. (I used to coach volleyball.)

This is child abuse to send her daughter to that school when she could afford the best for her.
Son #2 was having problems in kindergarten (public school in FL, a good school). The teacher was the same his brother had. I always volunteered once a week til 2nd grade. I saw quickly that an apparent autistic or out of control girl was screaming for most of the day. I spoke to the assistant principal and had him transferred out and things got better within days for him. I was there for him, not being a Karen and screaming about the one girl as that was not my problem. I don't deserve a Mother of the Year (or day) award but they always came first. In my career/jobs and everything around them til they were older. I could have been a big honcho at the med center but they came first vs a MS degree in nursing. Working full time was also not what I desired as I am a dingbat sloth first and foremost. For this idiot to prove a racial point and donate her poor daughter to the cause is criminal. I hope this daughter says adios to this "mother" and abandons her as she taught her to do. Let her be lonely in the assisted living and on holiday dinners.

There is an important datapoint that is being glossed over here.
Both Right and Left seem to be converging on the idea that school quality does not matter, On the Right, they claim good students do good wherever, and on the Left they claim that bad students are really good students who were oppressed. The homework does not help achievement comes fro the Left, but then on the Right, just last night, I saw a bunch of posts on Twitter about how achievement of kids across different skills does not get a bump if they are admitted to the best schools. This looked at a couple studies from NYC exam schools -- the very best schools that test for admittance. On the Right, I think a lot of it is an attempt to discredit the "systemic racism" claims, and on the Left I think it comes from an attempt to discount the poor performance of certain groups on that homework or tests. It is interesting. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at September 25, 2026 05:25 PM (vAcOX) 79

Even in the lower grades, too, you didn't get credit for doing the work correctly but then making an arithmetic mistake; oh, no, you had to have the exact figure. Under the pressure of tests, of course, you can get rattled, make an arithmetic blunder, and go off the rails. If we'd had calculators to check our work . . . but we didn't.

This girl and others like her should never graduate HS without being able to read or do math.
Mississippi (my home state) is mocked, but they did this right & kept back 3rd graders, black, white & purple, who should not advance years ago I went to really good public schools in MS til the federal gubment got involved when we'd been integrated for over four years. None of us kids cared there were blacks at our school. Or, none I was aware of...and we are talking about a HS of 50 kids in each class. The Feds changed school districts. This forced me & others to choose to skip our junior year by taking American Lit and History in summer school. I then had to go to a lily white private school I hated vs the all black school I was zoned to. I went to a junior college, got some algebra, microbiology & other stuff (mostly English classes) and transferred to a huge university out of state. Basically the Feds, not my parents, interferred with my edumacation and it is possibly nothing short of a miracle I got a college degree. Granted, speed reading and instant memory helped. Along with determination and my main goal of having a great time. Regardless, this mother's actions are worse. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 25, 2026 05:35 PM (hzuYO) 118

Of all my teachers, I suspect that the one who did the most for me until I got to college was the lady I had for geometry in tenth grade. And that could have been because I liked the subject and didn't hate the work. (No, it was not because she was hot, because she wasn't.)

I am reminded of the line, I believe attributed to Mark Twain, that people who do not read great books have no advantage iver peiple who can't read them.
Nicole Hannah-Jones had the opportunity to give her daughter a tip-notch education, even in that pit of despair tax money sink-hole she was attending, if she had actually paid attention and been a parent instead of dropping her responsibility on the local school district. Not every parent really has the time or wherewithal to keep close tabs on their children's schooling, but Hannah-Jones did. Her question, "In fighting for every black child, did I betray my own?" gets the entire premise wrong. If she was really honest with herself, the article would have been titled, "In sacrificing every black child's education on the altar of 'racial justice,' I bound my own daughter in the chains of failure."

My grandchildren go to Catholic private school. In a very good public school district. Their parent's choice and I am for it. I never tell them what to do with their kids (so far). Parents can afford it.
At least where they are the trans and gender confusion won't reach them. I know all the stuff about Catholic schools, yada, yada. It is a conservative school. High acedemics (I am shocked at our third grade boy's homework). While he may find out this year there is no Santa Claus, he will not be in class with trans kids or kids who think they are kitty cats with a litter box required. Our girl has already been in trouble in kindergarten. I am sorry my DNA has been passed on to her in looks and behavior. However, she's much smarter than probably 90% of her class, so there's that. She was also deprived of her best friend (who went to public school) and girls she knows (three classes for each grade).

There are a lot of parents who look at the schools as daycare. They don't want to monitor what their children are learning as long as they can be free to day drink and pursue their own interests. It is sad. Posted by: four seasons at September 25, 2026 05:42 PM (/QHx4) ******** True into HS. Eldest son, a professional saxophone musician, taught HS band/music for a few years before another degree in computer science engineering. Parents would get ticked if their kid was not first chair. He'd calmly tell them they don't practice. One mother said that was HIS fault. Another wacko mother got mad at him when she found out her daughter wanted to be called Seth. Right, right, right. He got out of this insanity, and they lost a fine teacher and man, about a decade ago. I was paranoid someone would sue him for their own crazy.

Why waste your time investing it in the fleeting years you have with your young children when you can spend it in a glorious cubicle farm staring at a computer screen in mind numbing tedium while you give the best you have to offer to a soulless corporation?

Nikole Hannah-Jones confesses that she abandoned her child to the school system. She did this so she could concentrate on her career instead of her child's future. The virtue signaling of this abandonment is aligned with this, and equally amoral. And her career consisted of slandering her country and doing all the damage to it that she could. What an all-around odious contemptible wrecker. And there are thousands more where she cane from. Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at September 25, 2026 05:54 PM (krI25) 186

Posted by: ballistic at September 25, 2026 06:03 PM (oqH4h) Supreme Court Now Okays Trump's Plan to Allow States to Use Federal Databases to Screen the Voter Lists for Ineligible VotersThe Supreme Court had previously joined in the left-wing plan to delay implementation of Trump's Executive Order until it was late enough in the season that they could claim it would cause "chaos" to implement it so late. Now it blesses not a screening of mail-in ballots -- that would still cause "chaos," I guess -- but the simple use by states (at their discretion; left-wing governments won't screen ballots) of the Social Security databases to discover if a voter is a citizen or not. So this is a weaker version of Trump's plan, which left-wing states won't even implement.If you're surprised to see the left-wing minority dissent quoted more than the actual ruling of the court, you must be new here. The dispute dates back to late March, when President Donald Trump issued an executive order that (among other things) directed the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to set up systems that would permit state and local governments to verify voters' citizenship and immigration status. Those agencies then modified the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, known as the SAVE system, to include the records of U.S.-born citizens, to give it access to Social Security numbers, and to allow users to conduct multiple searches simultaneously. ... Sooknanan wrote that "the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote." Moreover, she continued, "states have partnered with the federal government to access the database and are actively removing United States citizens from voter rolls based on inaccurate information."Boy lower court rulings sure are being highlighted here. I wonder what the actual Supreme Court just ruled? You know, the actual newsorthy information? ... U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer went to the Supreme Court on Sept. 8, asking the justices to freeze Sooknanan's ruling while the litigation continues. Sooknanan's decision, he wrote, was an "indefensible order that threatens the integrity of upcoming elections by vacating the federal government's authority to internally use Social Security data when fulfilling its duty to respond to requests by States to verify the citizenship of individuals for voting and other purposes." Moreover, he argued, Sooknanan did not have the power to enter her order because the challengers do not have a legal right to sue, known as standing. Among other things, he contended, the federal government is not the source of any injury that the challengers and their members might suffer, because the SAVE system "merely notifies the States whether the federal government can confirm citizenship."I'm omitting the next three paragraphs, which extensively quote the plaintiff's arguments. Not a lot about the arguments that actually prevailed. The majority rejected the challengers' contention that the use of the modified SAVE system violates the Social Security Act, the Privacy Act, and the federal law governing administrative agencies. It explained that in a federal immigration law enacted in 1996, "Congress ... separately and expressly authorized DHS to request and receive information relating to citizenship and immigration status from other agencies, including SSA." The Supreme Court has also "often granted" review (another factor in determining whether to award emergency relief), the majority wrote, "where a lower court has set aside an important federal program" -- which, it appeared to suggest, the modified SAVE system is. Moreover, the majority added, the federal government will suffer permanent harm (yet another factor that courts consider) if the district court's order remains in place. Under federal immigration law, the majority reasoned, "the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters. The order below prevents the Federal Government from using the program it believes is best suited to the task."Unrelated: Obama wants to create a censorship board stuffed with leftists and NeverTrumpers to patrol people's speech.

That was a trick question. Both the anti-fracking and anti-GMO movements have been shown to have been funded by Russia. They also are involved in a lot of the climate hysteria, brexit (which Russia supported, but mostly to harm the EU), and just about every movement that fractures European society or harms their industries and economies. The problem is, other than Brexit, the Left supports every damn one of the Russian lies because they too support destroying the West.

_________ Blue states won't use this screening, but red states will. This is potentially a big deal because there are competitive senate races and especially competitive house races in red states that could determine who swings the big dick in Congress. Cutting down non-citizen voting fraud in these competitive elections could make it harder for Democraps to steal these elections. That's why the Democraps were so desperate to shut this EO down.

Like an open source X that is controlled by a board appointed by a combination of government and other stakeholders (activists and academic/government experts) which will be funded by some kind of public-private scheme like PBS/NPR (which the Ds will start funding again from day one next time they control Congress and White House). Fact checked and moderated by academics, activists, identity orgs, and journalisms, of course. It’s another Obama internet thought control wet dream in a long list of them over the decades.

>>Before any mail in ballot can be opened the signature on the outside must be verified by 2 people 1 from each party mas a match to the original voter registration .
What fucking planet do they live on???? Mail in ballots in most jurisdictions were totally handled by gov workers at centralized locations without any party oversight. Verification was completely automated, but done by Dominion and other software that was dialed down to allow everything. In most of these cities there simply are no Republican poll watchers as there is no effective Republican party so no, not two parties. During 2020, they had to "watch" from 6 feet away, they are banned from the counting room, they were sent home early due to lying about stopping for the day, and they were ignored when they raised the red flags.

SCOTUS is a political institution and should be treated as such. By my count, liberals are short a few seats. That should be rectified.
Guessing half of Houston and Detroit will mysteriously be purged. This is how this reads to me: "You can use this info. Go ahead and prevent people from voting. We'll determine if it was legal or not down the line. When it no longer matters." The American experiment has failed. Death by a thousand kkkuts. 250 years was a good run This should 1000% be ignored. This court has completely lost it's fucking mind. It's explicitly stated in the constitution the federal government doesn't have authority over elections. These justices know there's a big desire among left voters to impeach several of them. The democrats should declare a constitutional crisis and state that it’s an unlawful ruling. The justices and the court has no authority to defy the constitution or give the federal government the right to do it. Start to move in a direction that doesn’t recognize the court as lawful, credible, or legit. This will get appealed, which will delay it until the end of the election.

The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), which oversees the country's merchant marine fleet, has ordered SUNY Maritime College to send its training ship "Empire State" into federal service. The ship normally serves as a floating classroom for maritime cadets, however MARAD has the authority to activate these vessels up for national missions.
Empire State departs the Bronx campus September 30, arrives in Norfolk, Virginia October 1, and will spend a month there getting its flight deck certified before moving into a support role for the Navy. That role hasn't been confirmed. MARAD expects the mission to last about 170 days. Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 25, 2026 04:58 PM (vPv7/) 180

I'm now calling the dude Buns of Steel, and they will be after 3mo of PT. He moaned about this and he's going. The ortho doc did not seem impressed that a gluteal minimus muscle is hanging by shreds. So I won't be, either. This doc is a team doc of pro teams. I was surprised my 72yo former runner wasn't delegated to a PA being over 50yrs. His nurse said she saw the note of my phone call and got him in. I was Southern polite and must have sounded worried. It's a miracle we got to see The Man. One of those surprises in life and I slept well last night that he was not going to be in the basement on crutches for two months and/or maybe having more pain after surgery.

It seems that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson writes a lot of dissents which are then joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, as opposed to Kagan or Sotomayor writing a dissent for Jackson to join. Indeed, even when either of those two do write a dissent, Jackson still writes her own dissent.

But also, Gavin Newsom and California Democrats openly brag of giving welfare to illegal aliens, "legal or not."Here's some better news: Trump is drastically reducing the number of (mostly fake) "refugees" in 2027. And the left is going to hate this crop of refugees, because they're actually refugees. The Trump administration plans to cap next year's refugee inflow at 17,500 people, down from the 125,000 target set under President Joe Biden. The State Department laid out the plan in a notice sent to Congress on Tuesday, a week before the 2027 fiscal year opens in October. Admissions will "primarily be Afrikaners from South Africa," the notice says, naming the Afrikaans-speaking white minority descended from Dutch and French settlers. Biden's agencies set the 125,000 target in his last year in office. Resettlement contractors put the long-run average at roughly 92,000 a year since the program started in 1980. Trump's first term bottomed out at 15,000. The administration set last year's ceiling at 7,500, then lifted it to 17,500 after declaring that unforeseen developments in South Africa had created an emergency. Next year's number holds at that level. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

"Resettlement contractors put the long-run average at roughly 92,000 a year since the program started in 1980."
Resettlement contractors? Illegal immigration is the single biggest industry in the country. Bigger than apple. Bigger than google. Bigger than probably the entire S&P 100. There are trillions of dollars being showered on illegals and their remoras and diasporas. Most of this money is subject to almost no oversight or limitation. It's just poured out the window. The politicians, NGOs, "non-profits," "contractors," influencers, and god-knows-who-else all get a nice fat slice of the luce. The taxpayers? They get fucked in the ass with that milking minotaur cock. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 25, 2026 03:10 PM (iFTx/) 20

But you can't hold a whole state responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole welfare system? And if the whole welfare system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our government institutions in general? I put it to you, isn't this an indictment of our entire American society?

Trump administration to welcome up to 17,500 more White South Africans as refugees
Trump is racist and a certified White Nationalist. It is a mortal sin to vote for GOP this November if you hate racism. Trump doesn't give a crap about South Africans. This is all Musk's doing. Same difference when billionaires control Trump's policy, but still. Ahhh the oppressed Caucasian Neandertal European in South Africa. So to be clear, bringing in immigrants for votes? Trump decolonizing South Africa was not on my bingo card. I also didn't expect him to do so much to fight climate change! Can't pollute the environment if you can't afford to buy gas! these aren't just 17,500 Afrikaners.

This is an interesting story. The actual details of the harassment seem murky and not particularly dramatic. I sense an op to get rid of a guy -- spit! -- who is now more trouble than he's worth. Caldwell is a black guy who helped the whiter-than-milk-in-snow Mikie Sherrill with the substantial black populations in places like Newark and Camden. Once she won, he was expendable. I hope Caldwell tells her to suck a fat dick.
Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill called on her running mate, Lt. Governor Dale Caldwell, to resign over an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment. “The investigation found that the Lieutenant Governor engaged in serious, repeated violations of state policy and failed to uphold the responsibilities of his office,” Sherrill said Thursday. “The substantiated finding of sexual harassment is extremely troubling,” she added. https://tinyurl.com/6sxhdhya Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 25, 2026 03:19 PM (iFTx/) 43

This article doesn't even cover all the welfare "income" illegals get are are entitled to.
There are tons of "off the books" benefits run by nonprofits (many of which get state funding) that dole out all sorts of assistance, often to illegals. Example 1: PG&E (the state'e utility company) provides huge discounts for anyone who claims to be "low income" -- without needing to provide any proof -- including debt forgiveness (meaning you ultimately don't have to pay for electricity + gas at all). The notifications for this program are printed in Spanish, Vietnamese, Hmong, Arabic, Chinese and Amharic. Example #2: Every major urban area has several "food insecurity" nonprofits that dole out mountains of donated food weekly. No ID required, no proof of low-income status, no proof of residency, etc. And as has been complained about and documented multiple times up and down the state, these handouts are often overrun by non-English speakers who drive up in Escalades and F150s, and load up as much as they can carry, every single day the pantries are open. The the food ends up for sale in flea markets and the streets of LA and SF, or used as the stock to make restaurant food. Posted by: zombie at September 25, 2026 03:19 PM (Av6i5) 47

Some clever AGs can make a case on how California is stealing from the citizens from the clean states and demand restitution from California.

Compare and contrast: The FNM just had an aneurysm over an ad that had an Asian woman wearing a white skirt claiming it was white supremacy and put black lives in danger because a shadow on her skirt looked like a klan hood When "Kill the Boer" became the top song in South Africa the FNM argued that it was just a song and who cares about those crazy people in the media just saying things.

I knew a guy with a coffee cart. Licensed permitted, legal.
He did corporate gatherings and meetings but that was mostly during day. He thought to open internet cafe (this was back when they were a thing.) and hire himself to serve coffee when he was not doing events. Good steady work at night. Made plans, got license, rented storefront bought computers. Opened. State shut him down. Said he needed license to operate restaurant, and that required vent hoods and employee restrooms and etc. etc. he said it's just a coffee cart. I can operate it anywhere and I have license to say so. They said no way. Drove his family bankrupt. Very sad. They lived in trailer with stacks of computers everywhere.

"Between October 2025 and March 2026, 4,499 refugees were admitted into the U.S.; all but three were white South Africans, with over half arriving in February and March;[20] by August 2026, that had number increased to a total of 12,901 South Africans (and only three refugees from Afghanistan).[21][22] By mid-2026, dozens of applicants to the White South African refugee programme had been rejected, although the total number of unsuccessful applications was unclear. Some rejection notices cited criminal histories or public-safety concerns, and the decisions could not be appealed.[23]" Posted by: Nova Local at September 25, 2026 03:38 PM (tOcjL) 107

Then again, the natives can't farm, anyway. In Zimbabwe they killed or chased off the white farmers. The argument was they were getting rich off of the natives so if you gave the land to the natives they would be the ones to get rich and everyone would still have enough food. That turned out to be...wrong.

Posted by: 18-1 Recent developments include a $3.5 billion compensation deal agreed in 2020 under President Emmerson Mnangagwa, with the first payments made in April 2025 to 378 farms. The government has also offered to return land to foreign nationals (mostly Dutch, British, and German) and allows white farmers to lease land from black owners, with nearly 1,000 white farmers reported to be back on the land as of 2024. However, many exiled farmers remain skeptical, citing lack of trust in government commitments and the need for constitutional protections and capital to restart farming. I'd want more than "constitutional protections". Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at September 25, 2026 03:45 PM (FKi1y) 121

I like that FLOTUS is doing her own thing this term for fashion. Very tailored looks. She can wear anything and look good...altho I didn't like the yellow gown she wore at Windsor (she forgot to call me). That was a bummer. I am currently wearing a hot pink, long sleeved, ski resort tee shirt. Complete with holes from rose thorns. Grey leggings for comfort and a pocket for my phone. I plan to see no one but the man who is stuck with me for life. It's all good. I might have a martini on the deck and blast rock and roll later. Totally back to zombie life after son/DIL flew home to FL yesterday. Our drive to the top of a mountain this morning completes what we planned. Fixing to make dinner (Greek spiced beef/veg pitas with tzatziki sauce, which look good and super easy). Doing laundry. Took a few large granite/quartz sparkly rocks outside that I found in the mountains today to put near a rose bush. My dude doesn't understand my obsession with rocks and stuff.

Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at September 25, 2026 03:29 PM (vAcOX) Back in the mid 90s when I was in college, I lived in a house owned by the proprietor of the best Chinese restaurant in Santa Barbara. SERIOUSLY good food. The house was a flophouse that he kept mostly for his Chinese workers (almost certainly illegals, given the cheap rent). The landlord was kind of a nice guy, but his wife was a stereotypical dragon lady. Well, about a year or so after I moved out, INS and the FBI busted him for being a major importer of illegals from China. He got caught while driving up north trying to catch a flight out of Frisco. His wife had already skipped town and beat the Feds to the punch. She basically abandoned him to his fate. He ended up getting about 10 years in prison, and his wife was never seen in the US again. The restaurant, which had continuously won local "best Chinese restaurant" awards for something like 12 straight years, closed down immediately and never reopened.

I can't stand the South-African accent. There's something uncanny-valleyish for me about it. Almost sounds like normal British-Empire English, but then you realize it isn't. Off-putting.

Such a shame - there's so much about this state to love - part of me says "why should the libs be the only ones to enjoy it". Hell, if it was just me (it isn't- between wife, two kids in college, two in middle/high school - wouldn't consider moving while they're in school) - I'd almost consider finding work or retiring out here. Except for the state governance. But then, Maryland is hardly any better these days...

Make the mistake of asking a Kiwi if he's Australian or the other way around based on their accent and get ready for an indignant response. The South African accent is different. Particularly Afrikaners. Posted by: JackStraw at September 25, 2026 03:59 PM (viF8m) 178

The restaurant, which had continuously won local "best Chinese restaurant" awards for something like 12 straight years, closed down immediately and never reopened.
Posted by: IllTemperedCur ---------- I used to go to a few in the area and they were all like that -- nothing but illegal help. Only the owners spoke English. At the time we figured they flew in on tourist visas and just overstayed -- Think how cheap that is for the owner - no insurance, no tax, no withholding, .... just cheap room. This guy must have been doing worse to get in trouble - maybe renting them out. or running a knocking shop. probably drugs.

California is Brazil. A small ultra elite group of mainly white people. A somewhat larger but still relatively small group of upper middle class professionals, mainly white and Asian. And then the majority is brown/black living in poverty.

People whine about fuel prices, but California is never identified as part of the problem by regulating several refineries into closing.
Posted by: Community Notes at September 25, 2026 03:51 PM (U4c/V) Calif net population growth is slightly positive, but it's all immigrants. Folks born here are leaving in droves.

In NY they would do the same with the Irish in the 80s and 90s when I lived there. Every fucking pub in the city had irish workers on tourist visas. At least they spoke English, sort of.

Those that are illegals (i.e. the majority of them) generally insist on getting paid in cash and thus PAY NO TAXES on their income. It's all off the books. As a result, illegals have a massive financial advantage over citizens who follow the rules, and are often must better off.
So you may ask, how did the contractor fall upon so much cash and and avoid banking scrutiny? Simple. A lot of home building, particularly flipping, is a money laundering operation. A drug dealer obtains a house, pays labor and suppliers in drug cash, turns house over and make large profit, the money has been laundered and now can make larger home purchases. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. This is how a drug dealer can easily convert cash into legit portfolios. Posted by: Community Notes at September 25, 2026 04:16 PM (9Hs2w) 204

Posted by: 18-1 at September 25, 2026 04:02 PM (sKqQm) That "Jersey" accent is mainly Hoboken and Jersey City. and it's a Brooklyn accent. I grew up in Central Jersey, near Perth Amboy, and when I was serving in the army '67 to '69, a guy from California asked me where I was from. When I told him I was from NJ, he was stunned. "Where's your accent?" Sorry, you watch to much TV. Posted by: thatcrazyjerseyguy at September 25, 2026 06:21 PM (hmYU4) 207
The Los Angeles Time reported on this in the 90s, noting that many CA duplicates of federal programs were only distinguished by the lack of legal residency or citizenship requirement.
