Daily Tech News 17 March 2026
Top Story
- Nvidia held its keynote address at its annual GPU Technology Conference, where it showed off a preview of its new DLSS 5 software, two months after DLSS 4.5 was released at CES. (Tom's Hardware)
DLSS 5 goes all-in on AI, changing game graphics into the AI developer's idea of game graphics. It's... Not great.
It uses face detection to overlay what it thinks faces should look like on your game's graphics, adding twenty years to the age of characters while leaving their clothes untouched and sometimes leaving random items looking like they've just been dragged backwards through an industrial recycling facility.
And it achieves all this in real time using the power of your own graphics card... Assuming you have dual RTX 5090s, which you don't.
Tech News
- Encyclopedia Britannica has sued OpenAI for "stealing our shit". (Engadget)
They may not have used precisely those words.
- "Investors" on Polymarket have threatened to murder an Israeli reporter for reporting stories that ran against their "investments". (Times of Israel)
They "invested" in predicting that an Iranian missile would be intercepted; instead it crashed in empty land outside Jerusalem so that they lost their "investments".
Yes, they are gamblers trying to nobble a horse, only the horse is a person and the nobbling would be fatal.
- The cast of Firefly are looking for funds to reboot the series in animated form. (Hollywood Reporter)
Uh... Maybe? It was a great series cut off far too early, and it's probably been too long for them to reprise their roles in a live action series. Also one of the characters is canonically dead.
But animated? Anything can happen in an animated series.
- Micron has begun volume production of 36GB HBM4 modules, 28Gbps PCIe 6.0 SSDs, and 192GB SOCAMM2 laptop memory modules. (WCCFTech)
You can't have any. Not unless your name is Nvidia.
- Dell has introduced its new Pro Max desktop with an Nvidia GB300 CPU and 696GB of LPDDR5X memory. (Notebook Check)
They did not list a price, for obvious reasons.
Disclaimer: It's sunny again, dammit.

DigitalFoundry did a quick video on YT on DLSS 5.
They said that Nvidia claims that it's machine learning is simply readjusting lighting to achieve the new faces of the game characters, but I find that hard to believe.
It does look like the AI is recreating a path-traced version of in game lighting to give better depth and lighting realism but there's no way it's not recreating faces, especially in some of the examples Nvidia's demo showed.
The example of Grace from Requiem Evil they've been using, is obviously AI re-generated.
It may actually help some games look better, especially older titles.
But Nvidia has to come up with a way to optimize DLSS 5 because very few people can afford a 5090 to run it on.
This seems to be a preview of DLSS 6, which will probably only run on 6000 series GPUs next year.

I've bought from Apple, Best Buy, and Amazon.
Not really much difference between them as far as service, etc.
Sometimes Best Buy and Amazon have sales on Apple products, which Apple rarely, if ever, does.
Best Buy usually adds in some free software or subscription trials to streaming services with their sales. With the Neo they give you Apple News, Apple Music, Apple Gaming, and Apple TV for free trials for 1 to 3 months.
If you get it directly from Apple they usually include a few free trials as well, so really up to you on how fast you want to get it delivered.

Monday Overnight Open Thread (3/16/26) The Let Me Give You The What For Edition
[H/T - Uncle Jefe] "Russian River at Asti, northern Sonoma County, just after recently cresting just out of bank… "
Unfortunately time flies and there are whispers about certain conservative justices retiring. I nominate Judge Van Dyke to the highest court!
Judge VanDyke: "This is a case about swinging dicks."
30 members of the Ninth Circuit write to disagree.
The Ninth Circuit denied rehearing en banc in Olympus Spa v. Armstrong. Judge VanDyke wrote the lead dissent, which begins this way: This is a case about swinging dicks. The Christian owners of Olympus Spa—a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa—understandably don't want them in their spa. Their female employees and female clients don't want them in their spa either. But Washington State insists on them. And now so does the Ninth Circuit. You may think that swinging dicks shouldn't appear in a judicial opinion. You're not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we all can agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa— some as young as thirteen—to be visually assaulted by the real thing. Sometimes, it feels like the supposed adults in the room have collectively lost their minds. Woke regulators and complicit judges seem entirely willing, even eager, to ignore the consequences that their Frankenstein social experiments impose on real women and young girls. As you could imagine, this line infuriated Judge VanDyke's colleagues.
His response to their feigned outrage is hilarious. However, I was disappointed that he didn't write he wasn't a gynecologist but knew a cvnt when he saw one.
Good old fashioned sex, betrayal and politics without the Epstein angle. At least I don't think so.
Kyrsten Sinema admits she had sex with her married bodyguard in bombshell new court papersShe's Bi, but she does love swinging dick.
A criminal investigation has begun in Turkey after an injured English racehorse was killed and served in soup kitchen. Turkey’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry ran tests after a ‘foreign object’ found in a stew served at a soup kitchen in Mersin last month and discovered that it was an electronic identification chip belonging to Smart Latch, a four-year-old English mare.
Our world which includes our Canadian friends has gone completely nuts about the Hitler/Nazi thing. While Canadians allow government sponsored suicide, turn the blind eye to the atrocities of the Islamic faith. History be damned!!!
Although the purchase has been confirmed as legitimate, both Gale and Jouppien maintained it was merely an addition to Gale’s collection of historical artifacts and not an endorsement of the Führer. In a report from CBC, Jouppien added: “It’s not to be taken as an insult to any anti-racist group,” Jouppien told CBC News. “It was collected in the sincere interest of history.” Jouppien added that “not many people have the resources [Gale has]” to preserve rare items and that his collection is a contribution to history. Jouppien also claimed that Gale’s historical collection was worth millions of dollars.If I were a rare book collector, this would be something that would interest me. And if that bothers you. I'm not sorry. There is nothing to apologize for.
Why would you have someone there to protect the public asked Karen The Mayor. Well since you won't allow concealed carry this is the next best thing.
Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe said she was “surprised and shocked” to learn a Waterloo Regional Police Service sniper was deployed as part of law enforcement’s efforts to manage an unsanctioned street party during St. Patrick’s Day weekend in the city’s university district. Waterloo police confirmed to The Canadian Press that a photo and video circulating of a sniper monitoring the St. Patrick’s Day crowd Saturday was indeed a Waterloo police officer, but at first did not answer questions about why one was deployed. Police later said in an email late Sunday that “mass casualty considerations” were part of the safety plan for the event. “The magnitude of unfortunate mass casualty events that have occurred across North America and around the world in recent decades have shaped emergency response strategies for all large gatherings,” Chief Mark Crowell said in the email.It's not like Muzzies attack infidels during any secular or religious celebrations.
Yours truly doesn't even know where to begin to address this "Letter to The Editor". The first four things that came to my mind were:
1) The mentally ill are raising the mentally ill and enabling their illness.
2) Where is the Father of the mentally ill child?
3) Where did this "Mother" come from?
4) Obviously God does not exist in her world.
The GOP’s Anti-Trans Crusade Already Forced Me to Move My Family. I’m Still Not Sure We’re Safe.
We thought our new state would be a haven after the last one turned on us. But I know the signs, and they aren’t looking good. In May of 2020, my family moved so I could attend a clinical mental health doctorate program at the University of Iowa. I remember being so excited about the program’s LGBTQ Counseling Clinic, where I would be the assistant director and where I would get to focus on providing much-needed therapeutic care for queer folks. It was the deciding factor for me on what program I ended up attending. At that time, I would never have predicted that the same clinic that had drawn me to Iowa would no longer exist when my family would be forced to flee the state in 2025. At the beginning of our Iowa adventure, my kids were 9 and 12, and the plan was to stay at least until our oldest graduated from high school in 2026, if not longer. A few years into our time in the Hawkeye State, my oldest child came to us because they wanted to start on puberty blockers, since they were trans, and wanted to delay bodily changes that didn’t match their gender. When my child first came out, I was worried that because I’m a trans clinician who works in gender-affirming mental health care, others would assume my child’s choices were influenced by me. I was very careful to make sure they knew that whether to pursue gender-affirming care was entirely their own choice. The most important thing was that they knew we loved them and that we would support whatever choice they made.

“Upset about the music,” the karaoke enthusiast exited the bar, where James Emery, 27, “tried to get...Jablonski to calm down,” according to an arrest affidavit. Instead of cooling off, Jablonski pulled a Glock 9mm from his waistband and pointed it at the man, saying, “I don’t fucking care.” Jablonski, police reported, fired one round into the air. It was illegal for Jablonski to possess a handgun since his rap sheet includes a 2012 felony conviction (for battery on a law enforcement officer). He has also been convicted of DUI; disorderly conduct; theft; resisting an officer with violence; and violating probation.

Tomorrow, Miss Linda says, we can get a free donut each at the Krisy Kreme in the suburbs, and we can always find other errands to run out there, so that sounds good.

Right, they want the comparison to be solely on Men versus Women's "pro b-ball". Caitlin brought in big numbers, but with this Team USA, she went 2-7 the other day from 3 point land (but that is below her average). She is a good point guard and ball handler and gets a lot of cool assists, but not that great from her patented "logo three" signature shot. Several others are better.
BUT Caitlan does draw crowds and attention, so is worth the big bucks. And she gets it in ad revenue as well. Is it racist for her fans to watch (white) her? Well maybe, but not more racist than for the black/lesbie players to trying to destroy Caitlan.

I heard that once living in the edge of Fort Worth. It wasn’t a tornado, rather straight line winds in excess of 100 mph. (One local compared it to a tornado laying on its side). If someone had been standing next to me I could have shouted as loudly as possible and they wouldn’t have heard me. The entire building, a multi unit condo, was violently vibrating.
I should have been scared, but I was too awestruck by the raw power I was seeing. Next day I was looking around and found the remains of a large billboard, mounted on 4 I-beams, which had been ripped out of the ground and tossed about 200 yards from where it started.

Revenue sharing, though, has been the biggest sticking point for months. The players union's last known proposal called for about 26% of gross revenue, while the league has offered players more than 70% of net revenue.

I can see the importance of gross vs net revenue. If WNBA players got 70% of net revenue, they'd owe the league about 30 million dollars.

Something like 65% of Iran were under the iron fist of terrorist Islam. Venezuela was run by the drug cartels. Mexico is run by the cartels ... Russia may have more "freedom" but their men are being sent to die in war. China is tyrannical and abusive. Tyranny seems to be the norm in the world.
But "The West" in Europe still believes in freedom, or are they fully submissive to Islam, so their oligarchs can enrich themselves with cheap labor (not counting the cost of murder of social norms).
Exception is USA ... Right? Well, except for the DeepState, and Islam invasion, DEI absurdities, and infinite debt.

Would you --
1 - Plan to take the train from the airport to your destination in another city, with 10 large suitcases? (wrong answer buzzer, they had to rent a van)
2 - Put gasoline into a rented diesel vehicle? (sputter, choke, 600 euros)
3 - Use someone else's bin to dump your trash? (local anger)

I think the do-gooders and wannabe saviors over the years have actually made Haiti a far worse place than it would have been otherwise. They have trained the populace to expect solutions to their problems to come from outside, and they’ve given up any thought of fixing things themselves.
Yes, without outside aid there would have been one or more instances of mass death; but then the survivors would have had to pull their heads out of their asses and think seriously about how to Not Do That Again. And they would have solved their own problems.

I would giggle knowing the founders were looking down thinking why the hell didn't I think of that. Trump's womanizing don't bother me in the least. I wasn't voting for a monk.

Grok - Jeremiah Curtin, the 19th-century folklorist and mythologist (known for works like Myths and Folk-Lore of Ireland and Creation Myths of Primitive America), does not provide a direct retelling or unique variant of Helen of Troy's classical Greek origin story (the birth from Leda's egg after Zeus's swan seduction). Instead, in his 1898 book Creation Myths of Primitive America, Curtin discusses a Native American myth from the Wintu people titled "Norwan." He explicitly compares it to the Helen of Troy tale, noting that it "recalls the Helen of Troy tale" (or "recalls forcibly the Helen of Troy tale, both in its general plan and in many particulars").In this context, Curtin uses the Helen story as a parallel or analogue rather than recounting her own origin directly. The Norwan myth involves a beautiful woman (Norwan) whose desirability sparks a massive war among the "first people," similar to how Helen's abduction/elopement with Paris triggers the Trojan War.

Of course the first thing to do - after ensuring maximalist demands on regime change are met - is to go fix and fuel and the power system ourselves. Given that cracks/uppityness are appearing with just severe power problems, seems a decent bet that a dark grid and the widespread economic and social consequences would be enough to crumble the current order.
And I imagine we'd make it clear that any violence to try and cling to power will be met with decisive force by us. Our cred at removing/vaporizing adversary leadership is at a particular high at the moment.

Yes, without outside aid there would have been one or more instances of mass death; but then the survivors would have had to pull their heads out of their asses and think seriously about how to Not Do That Again. And they would have solved their own problems.

In conflict-zone aid distribution, depending on circumstances, you have to be willing to eat significant % diversion to reach people in need ("cost of doing business"). I would expect and hope if the US does major short-term humanitarian aid in Cuba it does so where we have total control and boots on the ground to enforce our will.

My hubby is the same as ever-- this is a good thing.
Only a couple-three more days for BIL... App't Thursday with some help agency. Hope they find a place for him. If not, he's going to a homeless shelter. Photo ID should arrive any day now, and then I'll take him to get a phone & his account straightened out. With luck, they can retrieve his call log and recover some phone numbers for him that way. (Doubt his lost phone is remotely accessible by now, it's been 'gone' for over a month.) Maybe he can dump himself on somebody else if he doesn't like the shelter... he'll be trespassing if he comes back here.

That tracks. When there is POS system with a faulty chip reader, and it won't let you slide the card until it demands it (after failing a couple times), I joke that it's a "socialist" card reader: whatever is not mandatory, is forbidden. In Mussolini's formulation: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."
Note the socialist equivalence of "outside" with "against." Your personal economic independence is experienced by the socialist state as a mortal threat, equivalent to counterrevolutionary armed insurrection -- and they will in fact murder you for it, then celebrate their virtue.

The first says, “I like accountants on my operating table. When you open them up, everything inside is numbered.”
The second replies, “Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything inside them is colour-coded.”
The third says, “No, librarians are the best. Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”
The fourth chimes in, “I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end and when the job takes longer than you said it would.”
The fifth surgeon shuts them all up: “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine. There are only two moving parts—the mouth and the asshole—and they’re interchangeable.”

It is a bit strange, you get used to constant nerve pain where the absence of it takes getting used to again.
But, as I was warned, now as the spine readjusts, I do have some neuro-muscular pain below the operation site. Sometimes that increased pressure causes the need for additional surgery down the spine which is why I put it off until losing strength and dexterity.

Holy moly. This is very interesting. March 13, 2026, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia regarding the long-standing case *United States v. Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) et al.* (Case No. 1:91-cr-00355).
The entry identifies that a Department of Justice attorney, specifically from the Criminal Division, has formally entered an appearance in the multi-decade litigation. While the court docket has been dormant for many years, This is potential extremely important due to the historical role BCCI played as a primary vehicle for CIA money laundering, clandestine funding of intelligence operations, and its deep entanglement with global elites throughout the 1980s including Epstein.

The Persian Immortal Guard, also known as the Immortals, was the elite infantry unit of the Achaemenid Empire, established by Cyrus the Great. This unit was known for its unwavering commitment to duty, maintaining a constant strength of 10,000 soldiers through a system of immediate replacements for any fallen or incapacitated members. The Immortals were distinguished by their distinctive colorful robes, golden armor, and ornate helmets, symbolizing fertility, abundance, and royal authority. They played a crucial role in pivotal battles such as Marathon and Thermopylae, earning respect across the ancient world for their discipline and martial excellence. The Immortals embodied the idea of enduring power through discipline, responsibility, and loyalty, and their legacy continues to be honored in modern Iran as a symbol of national defense and the eternal vigilance required to protect sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Yes, for the Robo-Ump. I cant recall every detail, but the strike zone will be a plane at the front-to-back center of home plate, 17 inches wide (width of home plate), between X and Y percent of each individual player's height. I can't recall the exact X and Y values. I guess they are about whatever the current definition of the strike zone is, between the middle of the chest and top of the knees. However, each players height entered into the program will be his standing-straight height without cleats. Each player on all the 40-man rosters are being measured now, during spring training. This system has been used for several years in the minor leagues. The MLB players are not all-in for this; the owners are and that's what counts. You can get all the details if you google robo-ump.
My prayers are up for your mother, Doof.

It used to be. But the top of the zone has been shrinking downward for 15-20 years. Analytics worship dictates an uppercut swing for ideal launch angle so the strike zone is low and small now.

Yes, the core facts check out via Illinois State Bar records, http://Patch.com, Daily Herald, and Northfield police reports: Irina Pavchinskaya-Cedano (aka DefiyantlyFree / Insurrection Barbie) was disbarred May 2017 after pleading guilty to felony theft (~$2k forged
idk the details of what the rest of the "theological" controversy is, but afaik, this is a legit finding about InsurrectionBarbie. Ted Cruz seemed to like her comments, for some reason, so the controversy is of interest.
The other side seems to be about whether "the Jews" (Israel?) is forever "chosen by God". Seems clear that Jesus saw the Pharisees were corrupted, so no, "Israel" is not (all) the chosen ones, while all others are not necessarily (infidels?).
But I "stand with Israel" because they stand against "Islam" (our common enemy), or at least against those not joining the "Abraham Accords". And that alliance seems based on a more "pragmatic Western Islam" than the "radical Islam".
It's all an enigma, wrapped in memes.

Mostly I side with evangelicals ... BUT, I just don't believe "Israel" was ever God's one and only "chosen people", despite the OT language. There were many times the faithful (the remnant) had to hide in caves from the corrupt ("Jewish") leaders. So even in OT times, birthright was not sufficient.
There are "end times" and some "Jerusalem" I guess, I'm not well versed on Revelation stuff, but Hebrews says "there is no more Jew nor Gentile" ... and I just can't believe it is all about bloodline, even in OT times. (JC mentions the Good Samaritan as opposed to the "Israelite" being a "friend")
But I'll keep working on the details ... there is always the Resurrection of the Just for good people, as opposed to the Resurrection of the unjust for judgment and a second death. I know where to put the rapists and murderers of good people as far as that goes.

I am looking at things with a fresh perspective and really relearning through a Church that I truly feel an amazing connection. We have been doing an entire series on Moses and I am honestly loving it, it ends next week, but I do feel this covenant exits- god doesn’t go back on his promises. But again, I am learning and relearning so much right now, I am not the expert on this at all. Our pastor breaks it down in such meaningful and understandable ways. I wish I could share the joy and the peace I am getting after each sermon with everyone, it’s been an incredible experience.

I never heard of "integralism" till today.
"Integralism... is an interpretation of Catholic social teaching that argues the principle that the Catholic faith should be the basis of public law and public policy within civil society, wherever the preponderance of Catholics within that society makes this possible."
That seems like Islam ... "when you get a majority, get off the bus/train, impose Sharia/Catholicism". It assumes One (human) Moral Authority is Correct, if it attains a majority?
USA was founded by Protestants, those that opposed One Central Leader, and were willing to let The People choose their own destiny/future. Protestants opposed a central King, Catholics accepted a central Pope, England accepted a central King.

I didn't see that. I am neither Catholic nor Protestant, but I think the "anti-establishment" views on religion relate to the "anti-globalist" and "anti-DeepState" views common to this site are interrelated.
Luther made some good points against the established church, but the Lutheran church of my youth has fully succumbed. Establishments in general SUCK. Constant "revolution" seems like the Mencken Theme of this site, to me.

Trump: I'm Thinking of Seizing Iran's Critical Port Island, Kharg
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that
American industrial production
of sick memes was up 1700%
I don't believe Trump is thinking about American boots on the ground, but the leftwing foreign propaganda press will do anything, say anything to stop this president and prop up any anti-American, anti-human regime to spite Trump.
President Trump is working to assemble a coalition of countries to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and hopes to announce it later this week, four sources tell Axios. Trump is also weighing a seizure of Iran's critical oil depot on Kharg Island -- a move that would require U.S. boots on the ground -- if tankers remain bottled up in the Persian Gulf, U.S. officials say. Why it matters: Oil and gas prices are rising as Iran's blockade of the Gulf's narrow strait drags on, choking off a significant share of the world's crude supply. Iran is blocking Gulf countries from exporting their oil while allowing tankers picking up Iranian crude to pass freely -- keeping its own oil flowing to China and other countries. As long as the blockade holds and Gulf oil is restricted, Trump could not end the war even if he wanted to, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
Trump answers critics: "These are naive people that frankly are stupid." In related news, the terrorist who tried to blow up a synagogue full of Jewish children was the brother of a Hezballah terror-commander killed by the Israelis in Gaza. Who the US let into this country, because we have a violent Fifth Column which is always recruiting new soldiers to attack us from within.
Driving the news: In a Truth Social post Saturday, Trump claimed the U.S. and several other countries will send warships to the Gulf to reopen commercial shipping, and called on China, France, Japan, South Korea and the U.K. to help. On Sunday, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One he "demands" that NATO countries and other oil-importing nations -- including China -- help the U.S. secure the strait. "We are talking to other countries about policing the straits. It will be nice to have other countries policing with us. We will help. We are getting a good response," Trump said. Trump said the U.S. is in talks with seven countries and mentioned some had already declined, while stressing that the mission "will be small" because Iran has "very little firepower" left. ... "Most of this oil isn't our oil -- it goes to other countries. So if they want it and they want the price to come down, they need to help out," the official said. ... The intrigue: Trump is drawn to the idea of seizing Kharg Island outright because it would constitute "an economic knockout of the regime" -- essentially defunding Tehran, a third U.S. official said.
Meanwhile: the memes are flowing like wine.
The brother of a terrorist who rammed a vehicle into a Michigan Jewish preschool was a Hezbollah commander, Israel Defense Forces have said. Ayman Muhammad Ghazali, 41, was shot dead after driving the vehicle into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Mich., on Thursday. His brother, Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali, was responsible for managing weapons operations within a specialized branch of Hezbollah's Badr Unit, the IDF said in a statement Sunday morning. This unit of the Lebanese terror group is responsible for launching hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilians throughout the recent war with Iran, the IDF said.
Ghazali's two brothers, a niece, and a nephew were killed in an Israeli airstrike on March 5 in the town of Mashgharah, Lebanon, just days before the attack, a local official told AP Friday. The family had sat down for their fast-breaking meal during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when they were struck. Ghazali, who was allowed into to the US in 2011 as the spouse of a US citizen, was granted US citizenship under President Obama in 2016, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
After crashing his car, which was packed with fireworks and gasoline jugs, he exchanged fire with an armed security guard before eventually fatally shooting himself after becoming stuck in the blazing vehicle.

The straits will have to remain open for traffic. That's a given. We're stuck with that, now.
The destruction we've wreaked already on Kharg Island might have to be repaired - if lower fuel prices in the West and a semblance of an economy for Iran are a priority. I don't think they're critical factors, though I'm not in charge, so who cares?
An American military presence on the island would be effectively permanent. It would invite attacks on US military and private sector personnel by the mainland sandmaggots. It's a flashpoint.
My inclination would be to maintain the naval presence and just menace the Island from the sea until these people do or do not get their shit together.
That naval presence is a needful thing in any event, and it can probably achieve the objective without committing troops, even in that limited area.

A couple of things: the guy got an immigrant visa to the United States on the basis he was getting married to a US citizen, but was living alone.
So, what happened to the wife? It would not surprise me in the slightest if this was a fake marriage to get him into the US.
We also need to determine - stat - who else in the US is related to Hezbollah commanders, and have them have a little chat with the FBI indicating that they are being watched, and so they can be put into preventive detention if there are more incidents like this.

It's definitely a demonstration of how feckless and weak every other naval power is on Earth compared to the United States.
We are the ONLY nation that can project and maintain power of this level for any length of time.
Most other nations can barely project power into international waters beyond their own shorelines.

Three protesters were arrested Wednesday after a confrontation outside the Arkansas Governor's Mansion in Little Rock during an event featuring Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk. Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders hosted the event to promote an education initiative encouraging "Club America" chapters at high schools. "I had the privilege of calling [Charlie Kirk] a friend and seeing firsthand the movement he built," Sanders said. "Bringing Club America chapters to Arkansas high schools will help continue that mission and inspire the next generation of leaders." About 30 protesters gathered outside the mansion, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. Arkansas State Police said a physical altercation broke out between protesters and event attendees. Videos posted online show the chaos escalating as protesters, bystanders, and law enforcement join the scuffle.

This year's design--debuting exclusively with Vanity Fair--is especially unique. The theater has been designed to represent a calming garden courtyard, with greenery woven throughout it. It's an ode to this year's pointedly handmade theme--"A Human Touch"--as well as an attempt to create what feels like a relaxing space in a chaotic world. "There is an unsettled nature around the climate right now, and there's just something very calming about being surrounded by architecture, but having this space for trees to grow," Billingsley tells Vanity Fair. "We are exploring the contrast between the organic and the rigidly architectural, and that creates the feeling that life can exist anywhere."And beneath the veneer: Here's the reality underneath what Hollywood wants you to see:

LHGrey™️
@grey4626 Ahhh...the Dolby Theatre the morning after: a once-hallowed coliseum of counterfeit grandeur now gutted into a rancid abattoir of shattered bottles, crumpled prestige, and the stench of three hours' worth of performative excess. This isn't "cleanup." This is the autopsy report on Hollywood itself...pathological, terminal, and perfectly representative of the psychic refuse that slithered through its velvet seats. These are not artists. They are a collective personality disorder in couture: narcissistic cluster-fucks whose grandiosity is so brittle that they cannot even contain their own waste. Every empty champagne flute, every discarded gift bag, every sticky condom wrapper of ego left behind screams the same truth...these motherfuckers shit where they eat, then swan off to the afterparty while the invisible brown hands they pretend to champion on stage are left to mop up the evidence of their moral incontinence. It's textbook projection pathology: preach "diversity," "sustainability," "empathy" for the cameras, then treat the working class like disposable wet wipes for your celebrity bullshit. Psychologically, it's exquisite in its lethality. Decades of unchecked adulation have produced a sub-species of human whose prefrontal cortex has atrophied into pure entitlement. They are incapable of object permanence when it comes to consequence; the mess simply ceases to exist once they exit the building. This photo is the mirror they refuse to face...literal filth mirroring the spiritual gangrene rotting beneath the Botox and the scripted tears. Hollywood isn't "problematic." It's a metastatic tumor: malignant, self-replicating, and leaving necrotic sludge in its wake for the proles to excise. Fuck their golden statues. Fuck their standing ovations. Fuck their three-hour circle-jerk of self-congratulation. This trashed mausoleum is the only honest Oscar they earned last night...the trophy of their own degeneracy, captured in high definition for anyone with eyes and a spine to see. The immigrants they exploit will clean it. The rest of us will remember it. And the Hollywood trash will pretend, once again, that none of it ever happened.

NBC has a shocking poll that reflects the shift in the Democratic Party. Today, only 13 percent of Democrats have a positive view of Israel. 17 percent favor Israel over the Palestinians.
I think we have solved the woke right mystery….they need an audience to keep them employed and if this is the direction our country is headed, they need to be aligned. Our rewriting of history is paying off dividends for this crowd, isn’t it?

No, it was completely foreseeable. Go back 30 years ago and you could see how the constant accusations of anti-Semitism any time a conservative piped up was grating on people. There was also the Crown Heights example, and instead of addressing actual bigotry in the Dem coalition, the leaders decided to just ignore it.
Actually, they continued to support it, tolerating it and funding organizations that pushed it because it brought them needed votes. And so here we are.

Flying onto the Island of Montreal is exciting and the death-defying taxi ride from the airport to the hotel was a flat fee through highways being expanded and wannabee race car drivers! We wished we had planned a longer visit.

All Nine Antifa/Trantifa Terrorsts Convicted by Federal Court; This is the First Time Antifa/Trantifa Has Been Convicted of Domestic Terrorism
The terrorist attack took place on July 4, 2025. Wikipedia calls this clear domestic terror attack an "incident."
The 2025 Alvarado ICE facility incident, alternately the Prairieland ICE detention center incident, occurred at the Prairieland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, United States, on the evening of July 4, 2025. Officials say that eleven individuals, some in black clothing or body armor, set off fireworks and vandalized parked vehicles and a guard structure outside the center. A person in a nearby wooded area allegedly opened fire with a rifle after local police responded; an Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck and released from the hospital a short time later. Eleven individuals were arrested soon afterward; within the ensuing month, the alleged shooter was arrested after a manhunt, and five alleged associates were arrested. On October 16, 2025, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed terrorism charges against two suspects, and in a social media post, United States Attorney General Pam Bondi said the two men were part of "antifa", which she characterized as a "left wing terrorist organization." Major media organizations said this is the first time the DOJ has charged anyone with terrorism in connection with alleged antifa activities, mirroring statements made by FBI director Kash Patel. In October, an eighteenth person was arrested on a state charge of aiding in the commission of terrorism.[3] In January 2026, a nineteenth person was arrested. Supporters of the defendants refer to them as the Prairieland 19. Several defendants say they believed they were attending a peaceful "noise demonstration" and had no knowledge of any planned violence.Sure. Nine of the terrorists were just convicted.
In a first, nine Texas Antifa members found guilty on federal terror charges
In a historical first, nine people have been convicted by a federal jury on domestic terrorism charges connected to Antifa. The group was accused of being a part of the North Texas Antifa Cell, and was found guilty of rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and attempted murder, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas announced Friday evening. The group was convicted of the attempted murder of an Alvarado, Texas, police officer and correctional officers at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center occurring on July 4, 2025. The convictions came after a 12-day trial beginning Feb. 23, which included 45 witnesses and more than 210 exhibits. The first conviction of its kind comes six months after The Center Square asked President Donald Trump if he would designate Antifa a domestic terror organization following the rise of left-wing political violence. In response, the president officially designated the group a terror organization a week later. Several Antifa cells in Europe have since been designated foreign terror organizations.

has always been the plan. a bloodbath is how they can take control. they already tried it in Minnesota.
“Accused of being part of Antifa” That’s all anyone can ever say, cause Antifa isn’t a really organization.
Guilty of being against fascism? Aren't we all?! That's an odd thing to accuse someone of unless you are a fascist. ...but Antifa doesn't exist... so I am very confused.
Wearing black clothing, using signal app, turning off your phones tracking, bringing weapons to a protest but leaving them in your car. This is all it took to "prove" that it was a coordinated attack by terrorists.
Just for reference, your first sentence is what a lot of people do for protests these days. A lot of protest organizers actually recommend you do these things as it makes it harder to identify you in the increased surveillance state we live in.
Branding matters. I don't know who decided shortening "anti-fascist" to "antifa" was a good idea, but they absolutely rat fucked things by doing it.

Meaning...There was one shooter, but a whole bunch of people who participated in the set up of the shooting.
So, all of them got charged with attempted murder, not just the shooter.
And this is where I hope I am wrong, but only the shooter got convicted of attempted murder. His co-conspirators got convicted on basically aiding and abetting, but were found not guilty of attempted murder.
Am I right? Or wrong?

The shooter is facing life.
I guarantee they were all offered plea deals: Turn on Antifa and walk.
They all rolled the dice that this was Portland, OR. Betting the guild of commie lawyers would save them.
The fact that their lawyer tried, clumsily and stupidly, to force a mistrial, should've clued them in to the caliber of attorney they'd drawn.
Die in prison, fags.

See, to read their screeds, it was just a protest.
That took place late at night.
And they all just happened to be wearing black.
Seriously, that's the sole reason they are all blaming for the conviction--that they wore black.
Not the fireworks shot at the ICE vehicles and building.
Or the vandalism to draw the officers out.
Not the ambush of the officer when he did come outside.
Not that he was shot in the neck.
Not the texts and other messages among them coordinating the whole ambush in advance.
Nope.
Just a little, innocent, harmless protest on the Fourth of July.

Earth tones? AntiFa has been doing the black thing since 1929. Because commies hate their Marxist siblings, fascists. NAZIs were the ones in earth tones. Italian fascists were also in black. Honestly, it doesn't appear all that well organized even back then.

#OscarsSoWoke
Before that: Actor Jerry O'Connell said his wife and daughters became physically violent when he said that the Democrats should have had a primary rather than coronate sure-loser Kamala Harris.
He wasn't even saying he supported Trump. He was a bitter Democrat angry that the party had shot itself in the foot. And for this, his wife and daughters began cursing him and became physical.The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@VigilantFox Jerry O'Connell reveals his liberal daughters were "filled with RAGE" and "became PHYSICAL" with him when he criticized Kamala Harris as a candidate. O'CONNELL: "If I say this, will I stay married? Blow it over here." MAHER: "Sounds like you're going to blow it over here." O'CONNELL: "The night of the [2024] election... I was watching late at night, the returns, and I'll be honest with you, I didn't think Trump was going to win. I live in California. I didn't think he was going to win from what I was hearing." "I said something along the lines of, like, 'There was no planning.' 'This is what they get.' 'There should have been a primary.'" "I said something along those lines. I was just spitballing ideas as to--it was a shock, you know?" "My wife and daughters, without saying anything, became physical with me. They were filled with rage." "So if I am being careful with you in how I say things... I live with not one, not two, but three people who, if I made any kind of joke, they'd become very angry with me, you know?" Once O'Connell said this, Maher saw a man who had completely lost control of his household. He bluntly told him that living in fear of your own family's reactions is no way to live: "I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but I couldn't live that way... I say what I truly think. And if it makes you angry, I'm sorry, we'll have to work that out." "I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs and just shut the f*ck up."

But really, all we hear about these days is how Hollywood is dying, the industry is violently contracting, everyone is out of work, AI is the future and most of the present, while post-production and filming BOTH are leaving California -- and no one even knows the Oscars happened until their feeds are full of women in weird gowns on Monday morning.
It's a goldmine for comedy, and all Conan could do was reach for old, stale material. Robert DeNiro already yelled FVCK TRUMP two administrations and eight Oscars ago.

That's not a distinction I made.
I don't know what other people treasure, what the masses are looking up again after years of being released.
I just know that the Academy has never been about that. Ever. From the beginning, it was about controlling the direction of the industry.
And it made sense when that direction was actually aligned with making money. Now...control of the Oscars is control of...the Oscars. The studios spend much more money on slop for the masses that they don't think will ever win awards. Because the industry has essentially bifurcated in that regard.

The woman I argued with on another blog two days ago must be in quite the snit as she's vanished and raking her dirt and leaves and saving bugs. And I was nice as I can debate nice and Southern. It was not like I called her names or got mean.
I reckon she felt she could go against the wind and state her nonsense of the two fuel planes sadly crashing in mid air. Her "sources" said Cent Com is lying and a missile shot the plane down. I said otherwise and that no one knows, but I doubted the Sec of War and our President would lie to us.
She fired back that I was gaslighting (which I will never understand) and needed a mental health check. Lol. Maybe I do, but I'm basically harmless.

Moonlight is the black gay movie in Miami.
Made little money. One of the peaks of Hollywood giving a bauble to the black part of the industry to try and get them to be quiet now.
It keeps not working, though, for some reason. Instead, they had to invite thousands more people into the Academy.

I have. More than twice actually. Haven't watched it in years, but I have watched it multiple of times. It is a dreary movie but well acted (except for Streep, who is remarkably overrated). I liked it. Was it Oscar worthy? I don't know. I was probably watching Star Wars for the 8th time and Star Trek (movie came out in '79) at that stage in my life.

She was quite hot with a rocking body a few years ago. But the last few years haven't been kind. She looks more masculine now, almost a tranny, and is so painfully thin she looks anorexic.
I don't remember the last movie I saw her in, but I was like "wtf happened to her?"
Unless she plans to work out and bulk up for the role, there's no way she'll have the imposing physicality to play Athena.

Eh.
Sinners is massively derivative. It'll be as effervescent as Black Panther.
It's more a problem with our fractured, balkanized culture that individual movies don't have that cultural cache anymore.
You need to be in the zeitgeist for longer. A few weeks is an instant, half a news cycle, forgotten by a flush of new memes and things that we must all pay attention to.
Television series are probably the only thing that can have that cache anymore because they last for so long and come back year after year.

It is better to lead by example and you can bring stable logic and sense into the relationship rather than trying to reason someone out of a position that they never used reason to get there.
The predominant leftist (and Muzzie) emotion is ANGER, and that makes anyone challenging that anger doomed to failure at that moment.
You have to wear it away by erosion over time--that requires holding frame and not descending into nor feeding their anger.
The rise and fall of the trans movement is an example of emotion driven policy championed by AWFULs that is now becoming a sad clown show spiraling toward oblivion.

I always thought a prime Natasha Henstridge would be perfect as Helen. She was practically supernatural in both face and figure, not a bad actress, and had some physicality. Sadly, it didn't last forever. She's still making C-rated movies, almost unrecognizable.

I think it'll disappear too.
It's not a very good horror movie. I doubt it will have a lasting following among its most natural audience (horror fans).
And it's pretty ugly in its depiction of black culture. If you were a closeted racist who wanted to portray blacks as feral, I don't know what you'd do differently than Sinners. It's thoroughly unpleasant in this respect.

Not exactly. The Vampires talk about piece and love and that crap and don't care at all about skin color. They made the lead Vampire Irish I assume to make it clear he isn't supposed to be a Klan stand in.
Note they do also have conflict with the Klan separately.
There is a also the point in it where the first of the group of main characters to get converted is also the one who is white, but I'm not sure if that is supposed to be a political message or not.

The DEI quota thing for Best Picture noms is frickin' hilarious. Especially since the Academy ignores the DEI requirement at the drop of a hat, when the politics and star power is lined up correctly.
Oppenheimer is the perfect example. Pasty white cast playing pasty white characters, directed/shot/edited by pasty white filmmakers, NOTHING DEI about the film at all.

Propagandists focus on fanning anger as to get their supporters to focus their anger on specific targets. Then what is true or not, or even logical, is thrown aside by these heuristic short cuts--Orange Man is bad therefore all bad things can be attributed to him. Same tactic by the Woke Right, Muzzies, and leftists, except the target is Jews and Israel. Leftists aim at straight white males too. And so on.

As Good as It Gets
The Full Monty
Good Will Hunting
LA Confidential
I mean LA Confidential is the clear winner here, although I could live with As Good As It Gets. Good Will Hunting is pretentious crap. Full Monty shouldn't even have been given consideration. I haven't seen Titanic but given its story and approach I wouldn't like it. Cameron is a hell of a moviemaker but this is just a bad story.

The 90s were Hollywood becoming "fake indie" before they let the indies completely take over.
If they had installed people dedicated to its destruction, the Academy couldn't have done it any better.
They rejected popularity except in certain specific cases starting in the 80s. The case study I use is Ghostbusters. Every loved it. Made a shit ton of money. Perfect for the Oscars.
But...it was the wrong kind of movie.
The book end was The Dark Knight 23 years later. Again, the wrong kind of movie was liked and had made money. The Academy couldn't allow that.

Yep. Once you dehumanize someone as evil, then you can attack any attribute that 'evil' person has and get others to join in. Root of tribalism and social herd psychology to punish the heretic, outsider, etc. And sometimes that provokes a bad response by the object of hatred depending on their internal frame. Tell someone they are evil all the time and the worst person in the world, some come to believe it.

Regardless on individual taste, Titanic is one of the biggest box offices successes of all time, As Good As It Gets is probably one of Jacks Best Films, The Full Monty is fun, Good Will Hunting is a great writing debut for two guys how would go on to become huge movie stars with a remarkable understated acting turn for Robin Williams, probably his best acting role.

He looks like it would be very safe to bully him, while at the same time, he is a rude, sarcastic twerp by nature. No one should put up with DV, and it is all too easy to picture his wife getting physically violent with him, if he had one. He likely made the right choice to remain a bachelor.

The New Ayatollah is Probably Gay and What Is Even More Disqualifying, He's Also Dead
President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay -- and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal. Trump couldn't contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources. Others in the room also found it "hilarious" and joined the president's reaction, while one senior intelligence official "has not stopped laughing about it for days," said one person familiar with the briefing. The shocking claim was described to The Post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the White House. All three sources say the implausible-sounding allegation is viewed as credible by US spy agencies, rather than false information intended to undermine Khamenei, 56, who was selected to replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8. Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Mojtaba, who earned the nickname "the power behind the robes" while serving as his aging dad's gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.The power bottom under the robes more like
Recent reports say that he's in a coma following an airstrike and has no awareness that there's a war on or that he's confined to a hospital.
The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khamenei family. Mojtaba, who is believed to have been wounded in the same Feb. 28 airstrike that killed his father and other members of his family, has made "aggressive" sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication, one of The Post's sources said. US spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of Mojtaba Khamenei's alleged sexual attraction to men, but the sources insisted the tip is solid, with one saying it was "derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has." ... Mojtaba's purported sexual orientation had been whispered about inside Iran since at least the May 2024 helicopter crash that killed then-President Ebrahim Raisi, Ali Khamenei's presumed favorite to be the next supreme leader, sources said.
... Some elements of Mojtaba Khamenei's sex life have been reported before and may lend credence to the allegation. A classified US diplomatic cable from 2008, published by WikiLeaks, described Mojtaba being treated in the UK for impotence, though that report did not identify what may have caused the condition. The State Department file says Mojtaba married "relatively late in life" -- around age 30 -- "reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended visits to the UK, at Wellington and Cromwell Hospitals, London." "Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment; after a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant," the leaked file said.
... Homosexual conduct is illegal in Iran, though the government does allow surgical sex change operations, which some gay men reportedly are pressured into undergoing to avoid criminal penalties. Sodomy is a capital offense in the nation of 93 million people, with some gay Iranians infamously hanged from construction cranes as a warning to others. "In Iran, we don't have homosexuals," former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is believed to be an ally of the younger Khamenei, claimed in 2007.
Iran's new Supreme Leader is unaware of the ongoing war in the Middle East and does not know he is the Islamic Republic's new leader, according to a new report. Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, succeeded his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following his assassination on February 28. He is reportedly in a coma at the Sina University Hospital in Tehran following an airstrike, according to a source in Tehran. Due to his condition, he does not know of the ongoing war, the death of his family members, including his wife and son and of his own election as Supreme leader, the source said. Mojtaba is also reportedly in intensive care and surrounded by security officials, while a large section of the hospital has been sealed off to guard Iran's Supreme Leader. It is unclear whether Mojtaba was injured in the same air strikes which killed his 86-year-old father. A separate source told The Sun through secret messages sent to an exiled dissident based in London: 'One or two of his legs have been cut off. His liver or stomach has also ruptured. He is apparently in a coma as well.'Trump notes that there are reports he's dead:
President Trump on Mojtaba Khamenei: “A lot of people are saying that he's badly disfigured. They’re saying that he lost his leg... Other people are saying he’s dead. Nobody is saying he’s 100% healthy, and he hasn’t spoken... we don’t know if he’s dead.”pic.twitter.com/723pzlZaC4

Beginning when? There could be much more to this story.
Assuming it's true. This could be oppo propaganda from political opponents looking to deep-six him while he's on his deathbed (or dead).
While being outted as gay in the USA usually gets you more sex and free jars of lube, in Islamic countries being gay is considered a crime against nature. So anyone angling to get rid of this creep would want people to think he liked penis.
I think the guy is toast regardless.

My question is how so many rappers are homosexual. What is the rap-pouf connection? I thought it was just a gag in Tropic Thunder when they let slip that the rapper was queer but apparently it was just commentary on the entire musical form. They all sing about banging bad bitches, but apparently prefer bumming dudes instead.

The last chapter of Nicholas Irving's book tells of a night raid where they took out a camp full of jihadis. When they went in after dawn to survey the area, the men were in various states of perversion with each other at the moment of death.

TBF I'd also find it pretty funny if I found out the fundamentalist theocracy I was at war with had just ended up with a gay supreme leader.
A normal presidency would be toppled over, if the president laughed disdainly at someone for being gay
It’s breathtakingly stupid. Even for this administration. What’s funny is that intelligence and the NY Post think this story is credible or relevant in anyway.
While this is hilarious, I feel like there’s a real darkness in this: like they’re gloating about his wife and children being dead.
Hegseth has also been running his mouth about how US bombardments have left Khamenei physically disfigured. I feel like they’re trying to bait him into public appearances while they hide in bunkers.

BYD’s latest EVs can get close to full charge in just 12 minutes
The vehicle has a range of up to 800 km and will be launched in Europe next month and in the UK in the summer. Pricing is yet to be revealed.
The Chinese carmaker has aggressively expanded in the UK and Europe with affordable EVs and plug-in hybrids as sales in the home market have come under pressure from a government crackdown on pricing competition.
BYD sales in China plunged 41 percent in February compared with the same month in 2025, marking its biggest fall in five years.

Iranian exile
@MahyarTousi
delivers a SAVAGE takedown of Iran’s foreign minister claiming to be the “voice of the Iranians.”
TOUSI: “It’s like Tim Walz saying he’s the voice of Minnesota.”
“It’s not true.”
“Of course, it’s not just they’re not the voice of the Iranian people, he’s also not the voice of the Iranian regime.”
“Because…there is technically a difference between the government side, which is their foreign minister and the president—who’s a puppet—and the actual regime.”
“These guys are under the control of the regime, but they don’t have any power, they don’t even represent people, they were just there to nod and say yes to Khamenei.”
“Now he’s gone and his son is apparently a cardboard leader at this point and their job is just to go on TV and talk nonsense.”
“It’s just completely pointless and it’s hilarious to watch.”

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 16, 2026 01:52 PM (PYyV9)
Substance abuse is known to open people up to demonic oppression. When I see addict that gives a particularly hinky vibe, I assume there's a demonic presence trying to get its hooks in. Even if he (or she) isn't intoxicated at the moment, there could be lingering impairment from brain damage, creating vulnerability to influence and suggestion. And, that is highly likely to be compounded by a state of unrepentance for things done while drunk or high (or in order to get there), since genuine repentance would mean avoiding the conditions that led to it.
As I understand it, that's the entwined triple-whammy that makes addicts so vulnerable to demons: physical impairment of the brain, in a state of unrepentance, that they can't leave as long as they want their next fix more than getting right with Man and God... which an impaired dummy has trouble caring about.

From what I understand, and I don't understand much, the prices of oil are based on speculation of what barrels of oil will cost in the future, and gas prices go up and down based on the barrel of oil futures. I kind of understand why they would raise prices of oil at the pump based on what its going to cost them next month, but only kind of.

Hey, how the fuck can the poor Persians be liberated from the murderous IRGC and basij? Those fuckers have enough weaponry and ammo to kill every single citizen times twenty, at least.
The haitian slave revolt lasted over a dozen years and it is estimated that between 100,000 and 350,000 blacks of african descent lost their lives from violence, disease, and starvation. I cannot imagine something like that happening in a place where we have free reign to fly warplanes over every square inch, but what do I know.
I heard it said that about a million of the persians are regime-adjacent. That's a lot to kill. The toll in the congo during the Second Congo War 1998-2003 was 4.5 million, again, many of the deaths from trauma other than kinetic conflict.

They need to be able to pay for their next delivery of gas. It's a very cutthroat business, since the customer is very price-sensitive, so they don't have any cushion. They need to raise prices if the next delivery is going to cost more, but they can only get away with raising prices if everyone else does too; so they all track the price of oil futures, and most survive to pump another day.

Axios "Journalist:" The White House Says That Everything Tucker Carlson Is Saying Is Bullshit
Marc CaputoAww, darn. That was the best part of this.
@MarcACaputo The online chatter about @TuckerCarlson looked like quite a story: he was being spied on by the CIA & knowing that, Trump treated him as a useful idiot by feeding him disinfo that fooled the Iranians about the looming Feb. 28 attack But top admin officials say it’s bullshit 1/2 2/2 Specifically, I'm told 1) there's no CIA investigation of Carlson 2) In his meeting, the two politely disagreed, & Trump held to his position Iran was a threat & didn't mislead him Said one source: Trump "wasn't participating in an op."
3) an addendum for folks saying that the CIA wouldn't investigate but would only refer to DOJ (or that the NSA or another intel agency made the reference), I checked that as well Same answer: no That said, DOJ/FBI is getting lots of citizen requests to investigate him re FARAWorth noting: If the CIA was reading Tucker's texts, it wouldn't be due to wiretapping his phone. It would be due to spying on the Iranian intelligence officials Tucker was chatting up:
Rod D. MartinWould it? I don't know if you can be prosecuted for telling a foreign government non-classified/open-source/personal observation stuff. Maybe you can be.
@RodDMartin 3h UPDATE ON THE TUCKER CARLSON FIASCO. So in case you missed it, Tucker announced by video that he has been informed that the CIA is reading his text messages and is preparing a criminal referral against him. Several things have happened since. First, you must understand: the CIA would never reveal that it had illegally wiretapped anybody, because why would they? Aside from possible punishments for guilty parties, the bigger issue is that an illegal wiretap would kill their case: "fruit of the poison tree". So if they're actually preparing a criminal referral, they've dotted their i's well enough to get past a judge. So how does the CIA surveil an American citizen? In most cases they can't, at least not legally. So if it was legal, they probably were NOT surveilling Tucker, but rather some foreign enemy with whom he was texting: he was talking to people he shouldn't have been, about things he shouldn't have said. That's about the only way you get there from here. A couple things have happened since: First, Buckley Carlson (Tucker's brother) took to X to give a lengthy definition of treason and explain why whatever his brother did wasn't that.
Hmmm.... Second, both Axios and the Administration have denied any of this is true. Which is...interesting. Both might have motives to deny Tucker's story (e.g., why would the Administration confirm a possible-but-future investigation the DOJ hasn't yet initiated?). But what if they're telling the truth? Buckley's post suggests Tucker was telling the truth, at least so far as he knew it, and the family is mounting a defense. Glenn Greenwald certainly thinks that's true. But Glenn could be wrong, and Axios could be right. So we now have three reasonably likely possibilities: 1. Tucker Carlson violated FARA, which is particularly ironic given how many times he's publicly called for FARA investigations of various people he dislikes for unsubstantiated allegations that they were on some foreign government's payroll. No one would more richly deserve this outcome than Tucker Carlson, IF this is what happened. 2. More sinister possibility: Tucker Carlson was aiding and abetting a foreign enemy (because that's a far more likely reason for the CIA to be involved, given the above-stated limitations). In this scenario, it is very likely that Donald Trump had Tucker to the Oval Office to feed him disinformation that then magically appeared in texts with Iranian leaders. ==> Just to be clear: that would NOT fall under "journalism". That would be espionage, and Tucker would (if that's what happened) be in danger of spending the rest of his life in prison.
3. More narcissistic possibility: Tucker made it all up, as Axios claims. In that case, this would mean that he made up a scary story about the Trump Administration to get clicks, cash, and standing as a victim persecuted by the "evil" Donald Trump, "bought-and-paid-for" agent of "the Jooos". And honestly, this morning, I think most of us would lean toward Aisle 3. It's pretty much classic him. But that obscures the magnitude of what happened this weekend. Either Tucker Carlson lied or he didn't. If he didn't, then he was likely aiding and abetting a foreign enemy in time of war, or at least committing the same kind of FARA violation he's accused his enemies of for years. And if he did, then he's just a charlatan. Either way, Tucker Carlson blew a Titanic-sized hole in his own credibility this weekend. It seems to be an unforced error. And that's going to be very hard to overcome outside the realm of his own devotees.Below: It almost seems irrelevant to bring up Taqiyya's past statements, as he his plainly not the same man he once was, due to the demon-scratch that caused him permanent brain damage. But in the past, Taqiyya argued for all sorts of people to face FARA prosecutions.
I used to watch Tucker all the time. Watching him take apart people such as Schiff, Avenatti, and Swalwell was like watching an artist. It was masterful.

Speaking of narcissists, this is the best takedown and picture I've seen from last night's orgy of self-congratulation, aka The Oscars.
This is the autopsy report on Hollywood itself...pathological, terminal, and perfectly representative of the psychic refuse that slithered through its velvet seats.
These are not artists.
They are a collective personality disorder in couture: narcissistic cluster-fucks whose grandiosity is so brittle that they cannot even contain their own waste.
Every empty champagne flute, every discarded gift bag, every sticky condom wrapper of ego left behind screams the same truth...these motherfuckers shit where they eat, then swan off to the afterparty while the invisible brown hands they pretend to champion on stage are left to mop up the evidence of their moral incontinence.

The attack comes after a separate drone strike and fire at Fujairah on Saturday, underlining the vulnerability of the UAE’s only export route that bypasses the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
Shipping traffic through one of the world’s most important energy choke points has virtually ground to a halt since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran on Feb. 28. Iran has retaliated by targeting ships trying to pass through the maritime corridor, with several incidents reported in recent days.
Fujairah sits at the end of the UAE’s Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP), or the Habshan–Fujairah oil pipeline, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
Spanning around 248 miles from onshore oil facilities at Habshan to Fujairah, the pipeline is estimated to handle 1.5 million barrels per day, with a reported total capacity of close to 1.8 million barrels per day.

Okay, I was conspiracy theorizing last night when I suggested that Carlson may be pulling a snape here, but a funnier possibility occurs to me:
Tucker felt that, regardless of what Trump actually said in their meetings, he had persuaded the President that attacking Iran was a bad idea. And he communicated that, with the end result that their entire leadership was wiped out in an intelligence 'own goal'.

I had to fire the Sleep Golem I sent for Carlson. He was supposed to dismember him and return with a sack of Christian gold for my sacrificial altar, but all he did was scratch him up.

I circle you back to my theory that Tucker has always been a kook, it was just well contained between the beacons at Fox, so when the opportunity arose to boot him, it was taken. Again, corporations do not exit money makers stage left for failures of low magnitude that would blow over as soon as the next scandal came down the leftist pike. I am guessing he was becoming more and more of a liability - now that he no longer has those gatekeepers, we are seeing it for ourselves. Which is sad, but the truth is probably that the Great Tucker we thought we knew was just an illusion.

He has changed significantly in his public stances several times, in the search for money. But Fox fired him for a reason and I think it was because he was increasingly irrational and difficult to keep within the lines.

If he disclosed non-public information from that discussion to his alleged paymasters or any other foreign entity, he's in violation of the Espionage Act.
Information doesn't need to be "classified" in order for unauthorized disclosure of that information to a foreign actor to be harmful to the interests of the United States.

What about DOJ/FBI investigation? Usually, when a government agent or lawyer says "No, the X isn't investigating Y," it's carefully worded to exclude whoever is actually investigating.
Do I think anyone is investigating this sad blowhard sack of unrequited goat love? No, I don't. But the statement above does leave open the possibility that some agency other than the CIA is.

It would be due to spying on the Iranian intelligence officials Tucker was chatting up"

That was my amused interpretation when the Tucker-Iran-Contra Scandal popped up.
I thought FBI wasn't tapping Tucker's comms. Instead, Mossad was tapping Iran's; they just happened to catch Tucker as he was sliding into the Ayatollah's DM's.
Maybe, maybe not. But given how he's currently acting, it's less conspiracy and more pattern-matching.
After all, remember that one blogger that made it big with the RaTHer-Gate scandal? Little green... something? Turds? Got a brainworm, soon became one of those nose-ringed, blue-haired Karen harpies.
There was another blogger, Patter-something. Frey. Had an ongoing series about "Deport The Criminals First". But then got another brainworm, was all Anti-Trump, All Anti-Time. And that was during the first administration. Wonder if he's now trying to drive over ICE officers and dropping charges against illegals today, thanks to the TDS.

-The impotent Ayatollah was supposedly homosexual
-Proposed gun law in Virginia specifically exempts members of the legislature

You have been, indeed. I can attest to that. His mannerisms and behavior always annoyed me and I didn't trust he really believed any of it but I never saw him going this route.
Pet peeve: being annoyed by someone doesn't mean they're a grifter. "Grifter" has turned into "fascist" or "racist" where it's just "someone I don't like", which is annoying.

In the case of people doing crap for money, fame, and power, grifter is the appropriate term. As they believe in nothing themselves (and Tucker's media career indicates that), they follow the path that gets them that--facts and reality be damned.

No.
A grifter is a con artist.
Tucker Carlson has been running con jobs on his audience since he was a liberal Republican on CNN, then a neocon war cheerleader, then an anti-war Trump populist, then a pro-Iran Jew hater.
He believes nothing, and spent his career running one scam after another. Megyn Kelly is very similar.
They are grifters.

Taqiyya Qatarlson: The CIA Is Preparing a Criminal Referral Against Me Just Because I Was Acting as a Foreign Agent for Iran
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? Because I gotta plead ignorance on this thing. Because if anyone had said something to me that that kind of thing was frowned upon... Last week I saw Taqiyya Qatarlson stating that if Trump negotiated with Iran just to lull them into a false sense of calm while he prepared to strike them, this would constitute a "sneak attack" every bit as terrible as the Pearl Harbor attack and furthermore, any official taking part in this -- including Trump -- should be and "punished right away." In other words, prosecuted.Tucker Carlson says that if the U.S. lulled Iran into a false sense of security before attacking, it would be as bad as Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor - and anyone who participated “needs to be punished right away.” pic.twitter.com/kjOqC9EAbx

WOW — Tucker Carlson reveals he is facing a criminal referral by the federal government for "talking to people in Iran before the war"
— Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) March 15, 2026
Tucker was in the White House multiple times lobbying President Trump against action there.
Who were these "people in Iran" he was talking… https://t.co/33xWuXGjue
He mentions being prosecuted as a "foreign agent," which I assume refers to acting as a agent of a foreign power without registering under the FARA Act. However, I doubt he's guilty of a FARA violation, either.
The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), enacted in 1938, requires individuals or entities acting as agents of foreign principals (governments, parties, or individuals) to register with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)Being an "agent" would require him to have actually agreed to be an agent, or to have taken money to act on behalf of Iran. You can't just be prosecuted under FARA because you sympathize with dirty foreign communists and Islamists, as Taqiyya Qatarlson so clearly does. So I don't think he can be prosecuted here, either. Is Taqiyya lying about being a criminal target, just for clicks and sympathy? Very possibly! He is an inveterate liar. And his ally Cavernous Nostrils is literally threatening violence against Trump's government if they "come for Tucker:"

Hmmm. I'm not sure if misinformation could still be classified. Maybe. Or if it's still illegal to pass classified info to foreign enemies, even if the government expects you will pass the info alone.
So ... if the information given to Fucker was classified and he passed it to enemies in Iran, he could still be guilty even if it was false info and he was expected to pass it. Maybe.

Arizona man who admitted to crucifying pastor asks for death penalty so 'we can move on with our lives'
. . .
Sheafe, 51, is accused of murdering William Schonemann, the pastor of New River Bible Chapel, in April 2025 before mutilating the man's body. Schonemann was found dead with his arms spread out in his bed and his hands pinned to a wall, authorities said.
. . .
Sheafe told Fox 10 last year that the murder of Schonemann, 76, was part of a plot targeting more than a dozen Christian leaders across the country in a mission he called "Operation First Commandment."
He has claimed that Schonemann and other Christian pastors were leading followers onto a false path. The defendant’s father, Chris Sheafe, told the Arizona Family that his son had become obsessed with the Bible and has a large tattoo of a Hebrew word for God on his neck.

She cited abortion, LGBTQ and transgenderism as the reasons
"It’s impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today."
"I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture. I have compromised my relationship with Jesus for too long, and I’m grateful God did not give up on me — He gave me time to repent, turn, and be fully devoted to Him.”
"That conviction includes the issues I cannot reconcile with Scripture: abortion, the normalization of the gay lifestyle, and the push to redefine gender."

Tucker has been adamantly calling out the foreign influence of Mossad / Israel on American politicians (AIPAC) over the past month. Jokes on him, the foreign agents in charge of our administration and Congress don't like being called out.
Tucker doesn’t care about Gaza, he calls out Israel because he is a rabid anti-Semite, Christian nationalist and white supremacist. Broken clocks occasionally right and all, but he is absolutely not a good person.
Meanwhile, the real foreign agents are anyone aligned with aipac. JFK wanted to list the precursor to aipac as a foreign agent (he was killed before he could). Also, as much as I loathe Tucker, if T imprisons him for essentially free speech, it'll be like Navalny.
Tucker really is a Russian asset and a serious threat to our national security. He's someone I would encourage tue CIA to watch like a hawk.
So is the president and most members of congress, heck people like Obama's chief of staff even went to serve in the IDF after 9/11 instead of here.

As a lawyer, and if this was your client who was told information was classified, but it wasn’t because it wasn’t real, but it was hoped the not really classified information would be passed along, what would you do with this argument? 😂

_____________
I don't know enough about this area of the law, or the specific facts of this case to offer any advice.
I think any info can be classified, even false info or info that may have been true at the time but later turned out to be false. I don't know exactly what information Fucker was given, so it's hard to judge.
Same thing with giving him info knowing it will be passed. Kinda like a sting operation. If an undercover offers stolen goods or drugs to a buyer, and the buyer buys, it's still a crime even those the undercover expected the buyer to buy.
Do I think anything will happen? No. It's possible tha Fucker is making he whole thing up for attention.

I don't think so, because Vance was saying and doing questionable things outside of Cucker's involvement. His constant excuses for the woke reich "influencers" for example. "These are just kids making funnies, let's not ruin their future", when we are talking about 20-30 year old men. At Kirk's memorial, he went all "big tent" when there are clearly people who need to be tossed out pronto.

Wow…this is…wow. And what would be wrong? The part where she lost her husband in front of her child? The fact she is trying to keep his vision alive in honor of him? The fact she is being torn to shreds by kooks in every corner, both known and unknown and learning in real time no one is really trustworthy, it’s all a viper pit? My guess is Charlie protected her from that fact. Help me to understand what exactly the right protocol is under such circumstances, because my Emily Post does not have a section on this. Charlie Kirk’s are not a dime a dozen, no one will fill his shoes. And do not ever underestimate how catty some women are when the one in front of them is prettier. Do not underestimate how some men view pretty women as stupid and silly. Not all, in either one of these cases. But some.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

"Conservative" commentators turning radical left is an old thing.
34 Years ago I was in a small audience that listened to Russell Kirk give a speech about Lord Acton at the inauguration of the namesake Institute. In it he outlined how lunatic the Mr. "Power Corrupts" became Marxist in his dotage.
A prophetic address. He looked delighted giving it and glancing at Fr. Sirico while grinning slyly.

@FmrRepMTG
If you’re noticing Tucker Carlson being attacked from literally every direction of the political machine. ⁹
It’s because they are terrified of him running for president.
Because he would win and they know it.
And that’s why I’m deeply concerned for my friend Tucker Carlson and his family.
These people are vicious and evil and will attempt to destroy anyone and everyone that reveals the truth.

Treason consists of levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

A lot of people are reflexively white-knighting Erika because her husband was generally agreed upon as a huge asset to our side.
The fact is they don't know shit about her other than she was married to Charlie, and now she's the head of TPUSA evidently on Charlie's wishes.
They're also defensive of her because of the idiots "on the right" attacking her like Cavernous Nostrils. One can have never seen, heard, or read Candy O or anyone like her, independently observe Erika Kirk's public persona in the wake of Charlie's death, and come to the independent conclusion that her public persona is off-putting. Carrying on the legacy of your assassinated husband is one thing. Giving your kids to other people to watch while you go on the talk show circuit while his body is still warm rubs me the wrong way. Deal with it.

Insurance companies don't make money off of premiums collected, they make money off of investing those premiums.
So a $10 million ad campaign is a business expense against their taxes.
And even if it only gains $3 million in new premiums, it's worth it.
That's not a $7 million loss, it's $10 million in reduced taxes and $3 million in increased revenue; net $13 million.

Pedantic argument.
The Constitution says clearly that when an individual wages war on America, he is guilty of treason. That kind of implies the Founders believed that a single person could, indeed, "wage war".
Oh, but since you say an individual can't wage war on a country, then everything's fine, and hell, that clause ought to just be scribbled out. That about sum up your point?

I think people can dislike or be distrustful of Mrs Kirk without having to be a stooge or a puppet. Its unfair of me but she reminds me of a televangelist's wife, not that Charlie was anything like those scum. Doesn't mean she's a bad person or is untrustworthy, its just the "vibe" as the kids say with the flashy shows and makeup and clothes.
But the stuff Candace is going on about is not just low its actionable and insane.

No, you are inferring that. It doesn't imply anything other than someone who goes to war against the USA is guilty of treason.
Seriously, what would "war against the USA" by a single person look like? How would that be distinct from just protest, or crime? Does he drive a tank into a base and start shooting it? What does this one-man war consist of? Its irrational.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 16, 2026 01:27 PM (PYyV9)
1. "levies war against [the United States]" (ie., goes to war against the USA, whatever that means)
OR
2. "adheres to [United States] enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere"
The statue doesn't require a formal declaration of war, although it would be easier to determine who the "enemies" are if there was such a declaration.

When he was tried at the Council of Konstance, he's answer every charge with a dismissive "I've done worse than that". After about 20 times the prosecutor finally blurted out "well, what's the worst thing you HAVE done?"

More than 80% of the oil that flows out of the Strait goes to China and India.
Every barrel can move in different ways. UAE has a pipeline that normally does 800,000 barrels a day and is now doing 7,000,000 per day. Traffic has been redirected around Saudi Arabia to avoid the Persian Gulf altogether.
And the current prices are making operations extremely profitable for American shale oil, which will ramp up production and drive prices down.
Also, Qatar's promised $150 a barrel is dead. I can't seem to get past $100 now except on weekend trading.

American shale oil is immensely profitable at $90 per barrel.
The peak was more than a week ago (during weekend trading) when it got to about $125 a barrel.
Hell, ships have gone through the strait without turning off their transponders while Iran promises not to hit the 80% of traffic that goes to India or China.
The strait is effectively a non-story at this point.

He limited shale exploration, but I don't think there was actually any draw back on existing.
It's just, when oil is at $60 a barrel, it's not that profitable, especially to open new sites.

Money Center Banks that Pushed the Tricolor Securities Fraud Are Being Sued by the Investors That Were Defrauded
, because Tricolor’s customer base was an “underserved community.”
While all parties involved deserve ridicule for thinking that a pool of lower-than-subprime loans could make a high-quality security, the lawsuit doesn’t just allege that the big banks were pushing a junk product, the allegation is that there was willful blindness to the fraud that was occurring. Further, with the fraud in plain sight, the banks continued to earn underwriting fees for promoting these fraudulent securities.
“Tricolor Noteholders Sue JPMorgan, Barclays and Fifth Third” [Bloomberg - 02/27/2026]
In their suit, the noteholders claim the banks ignored “clear evidence” of fraud, including “alarming” 2022 and 2024 audits of the company, because they were earning millions of dollars in fees underwriting Tricolor’s securitized notes.The CPA audits of Tricolor indicated waving red flags, including: • Nearly half of payments received on a given day were posted to the wrong account. • Defaulted loan accounts showed financial recoveries from repossessions, even though the subject cars were not actually repossessed. • Loan delinquencies were inaccurately reported and re-aged so as to show those loans not being in default. The plaintiffs accordingly allege that: • JPMorgan, Barclay’s, and Fifth Third “responded by hiding what they had learned and sticking their heads in the sand to avoid learning more.” • JPMorgan, Barclay’s, and Fifth Third withheld or misrepresented adverse information in offering materials for investors. Per the plaintiffs’ suit, “Defendants fueled and perpetuated Tricolor’s Ponzi-like fraud.” When the Tricolor fraud blew wide open, JPMorgan’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, was quoted as saying ”It is not our finest moment. When something like that happens, you can assume that we scour every issue, every universe, everything about how it could be taking place to make sure it doesn’t take place from here. You can never completely avoid these things, but the discipline is to look at it in cold light and go through every single little thing, which you can imagine we’ve already done.” Dimon added, ”When you see one cockroach, there are probably more.” To repeat what I said back in October, If there are more “cockroach loans” like Tricolor that are about to blow up, it is not an economic indicator, rather it is a sign that banks and investment houses abandoned their underwriting standards in pursuit of woke cred. I’d also argue that it’s not fair for Dimon to blame employees whose “discipline” was lax. While this is only my opinion, I will state with a high level of confidence that plenty of lower-level analysts and underwriters at JPMorgan knew just how uncreditworthy Tricolor was, but senior management pressure for Community Reinvestment Act credits, woke bragging rights, government favor, etc., compelled every layer of credit approver to recommend approval for a lending facility that objectively should have been rejected. Mr. Dimon stated that he was going to look at the Tricolor debacle “in cold light and go through every single little thing.” I hope he did. And if he has not yet uncovered why the underwriting and approval chain felt they could not decline the Tricolor facilities, then the light is clearly not cold enough. As the lawsuit by defrauded investors moves forward, the question I’m most interested in isn’t “Who knew how bad Tricolor was, and when?” Instead, the question I have is why did otherwise intelligent bankers think they had no choice but to consent to promoting Tricolor as a good credit risk when the fraud and lack of creditworthiness were so evident.

Buck, you are being kind. These securities were much worse than the sub-prime mortgages, which were at least backed up by real estate (inflated, but they still existed).
A used car's value drops by the day, and my guess is that a fair number of these cars were simply abandoned, towed, and then auctioned for a tiny fraction of their value.

For the same reason many investment bankers didn't blow the whistle on subprime mortgages in the early '00s. They got their marching orders from a government that knew precisely nothing about investment banking. See also, EVs and automakers.

The plaintiffs in this case bet they wouldn't be the last ones, that they would take the profits and unload the dogshit on someone else. They lost that bet.

The Democrats have argued every single vote protection measure proposed or passed since 2000 will disenfranchise millions of voters. Since then *0*....ZERO...have been disenfranchised. That's right, its a proven fact not a single eligible voter has lost the right to vote.
So it makes no sense why they would oppose simple ID here, like you need to get on a plane, or to drive, or to get into a government building...until you consider how they stole the 2020 election.
Now if every R said something like this...

"Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”
To all those smugly doubting if it's temporary: It's literally written into the text that typical Virginia districting standards are resumed after the 2030 census. Please learn how your state's legal system operates.
Maybe republicans will consider a gerrymander ban nationwide now with all the bitching and moaning ive seen from them in this sub
Summarizing the comments on this; people love gerrymandering when the GOP does it. But not if the democrats do it. Okayyy Russia bots
Good on Virginia for taking a stand in working to repel the MAGAt manipulation of gerrymandering. MAGAts only know how to cheat and steal. They lie about *everything.*

Like the prison phone scams where they charge prisoners $1 a minute for local calls. They do it because they can. The costs or accounting are immaterial -- just keep sending bills to people who have no choice but to keep paying.
It checks all the boxes, vulnerable client base, perpetual payments, lots of fees and penalties, they are subsidized by government welfare, and it's "social justice."
I wonder if anyone is reporting on it from that angle. These are the attributes that the financiers love. Who cares about things like accounting, just send the sucker another bill and he will pay, he has no choice.
I have known people in this situation - they are overwhelmed by their bills and just pay and pay. Many are stupid, but I think many just lose hope. This is vulture capitalism at its finest and Biden *encouraged* it by calling it "Social Bonds."

Do they have red light cameras or speed cameras in Texas.

No. Yes. I reported them the next day and got new plates issued on the spot.
See. This is where I advocate setting up a sniper hide and when they steal the plate, drop the thief and leave the body lay as a warning to other thieves.

Posted by: XTC at March 16, 2026 12:13 PM (1YL6+)
Having been in the car business myself, the way this works is a dealer will sell a car they bought for $3000 for $8000. The dealer will take $4000 in cash, and finance the rest at maximum legal rates.
The dealer already covered the cost of the car in cash, plus a little profit, so the loan is just gravy. When the borrower inevitably defaults, the car is repoed and sold again.
What Tricolor seems to have done is taken all these loans and repackage and sold them to banks, who then sold them as investment vehicles. Insanely risky.

There is good and bad debt.
If you borrow to buy a car to just get you to a job, that's probably good debt.
If you buy more car then you need to just get to work and you finance it that is likely bad debt.

I ordered a pair of pants from Amazon...shipped with USPS
On the day it was supposed to arrive...when I was home...I got a message it wasn't delivered because of animal interference.
I don't have any pets and again I was home all day. So I asked my regular mail guy and he told me someone else handles amazon stuff - call the office. Three calls of phone tag later where they kept saying they couldn't find my pants they just...show up in my mail box one day.
Was the alternative guy going to take them until his boss got on him? Where they buried in his truck and he found them later? Who knows...

On the day it was supposed to arrive...when I was home...I got a message it wasn't delivered because of animal interference.
I don't have any pets and again I was home all day. So I asked my regular mail guy and he told me someone else handles amazon stuff - call the office. Three calls of phone tag later where they kept saying they couldn't find my pants they just...show up in my mail box one day.
Was the alternative guy going to take them until his boss got on him? Where they buried in his truck and he found them later? Who knows...

Arizona man who admitted to crucifying pastor asks for death penalty so 'we can move on with our lives'
. . .
Sheafe, 51, is accused of murdering William Schonemann, the pastor of New River Bible Chapel, in April 2025 before mutilating the man's body. Schonemann was found dead with his arms spread out in his bed and his hands pinned to a wall, authorities said.
. . .
Sheafe told Fox 10 last year that the murder of Schonemann, 76, was part of a plot targeting more than a dozen Christian leaders across the country in a mission he called "Operation First Commandment."
He has claimed that Schonemann and other Christian pastors were leading followers onto a false path. The defendant’s father, Chris Sheafe, told the Arizona Family that his son had become obsessed with the Bible and has a large tattoo of a Hebrew word for God on his neck.
"Adam became extremely interested in the Old Testament. He read it extensively. And part of that process became his interest. We weren’t excited when we’d learned that he’d done it, but to have the tattoo," his father said.

Mid-Morning Art Thread
Roger de La Fresnaye This is odd, and decidedly not human. What a strange life the artist must have led to see his, or anyone's, marriage through the lens of Cubism. I understand seeing the world, or politics, or architecture, or even nature as the hard angles and cold images of that art world. But love? That's...disturbing.

Cubism can be interesting if it's used properly but so many artists used it to be edgy, it actually became boring. I think it works in "Nude Descending a Staircase" because that work is about motion not the nude.

Sinners was really good. It should have won more. I felt like it was just on the verge of something great, which just needed some editing help to get there.
it was obviously since Anderson had not won they were going to give it to him this year, then the rest of the awards were mostly to make up for that, since that film is clearly not his best.

Sinners was one of the better movies, yes. But honestly that's a sign of how far movie making has fallen.
20 years ago Sinners would have been "best movie of a particular weekend" and there would have been 20-30 better ones.

"Sinners" was decent. Good action, good acting, good music. I liked the first half better. I think it would have worked well as a revenge fantasy against the Klan, which is where I thought it was going at first, similar to "Inglorious Basterds".

Sinners was actually good
I'm sure Train Dreams is good lol I really do want to watch it
Bugonia was good and I'm shocked it was nominated?!?! my genre tastes are mainstream now I guess
Hamnet is nice. Kind of ... it's a good film. it reminds me of the Oscar-winners of my youth lol. High brow I guess (but boring)
F1 - again that was nominated? that's a good film
The Secret Agent I'm curious about.
it was overall a decent group? better than recent years? I dunno

Studio heads make a great deal of money. Their primary responsibility is to determine where the zeitgeist is going so as to greenlight future movies. A blind man could see that the SH genre was totally overexposed and redundant, yet they continued to dump billions into them.
I would have been willing to tell them that for much less than they earn.

The Morning Report — 3/16/26
For decades, critics of regime change in Tehran have invoked the specter of chaos – often assuming that the only alternative to the Islamic Republic would be instability. But regime change from within, a concept I have explored in my scholarship, offers a fundamentally different pathway than externally imposed transformation. . . Rather than externally engineered governance, regime change from within involves the transfer of sovereignty to the Iranian people themselves, enabling them to dismantle authoritarian rule and construct democratic institutions through their own political agency.
The objective is the replacement of the ruling theocracy with a democratic republic grounded in pluralism, secular governance, and the rule of law. The political blueprint for such a transition already exists in Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan, which calls for universal suffrage, gender equality, freedom of expression and assembly, separation of religion and state, and a non-nuclear Iran that lives peacefully with its neighbors – a plan that former National Security Advisor General James Jones recently referred to as “Jeffersonian.”
What Rajavi’s February announcement makes clear is that the Iranian opposition is not merely protesting the current regime – it is preparing for governance after its fall.
. . . Well, this kind of scenario might just be the case 90 miles from Florida,
A group of residents in Moron, central Cuba, protested early Saturday, targeting the local headquarters of the ruling communist party.The demonstration, reportedly tied to the island’s energy and food supply issues, resulted in the partial destruction of the building, and five individuals were arrested.WIth the Maduro junta gone and the Mullahs on the ropes, Cuba's access to oil has effectively been cut off. The Russians have, or had propped up the Casto-ite communist Cubans decades and that mostly ended with the collapse of he Soviet Union leaving the Chi-Coms and other regional Latin-American Communist redoubts their only allies. Will the rest of Cuba catch Moron fever?! Let a thousand AOSHQ puns bloom!
So if the government collapses, or is overthrown, don’t expect a peaceful transition of power as was the case in Czechoslovakia or Hungary or East Germany. Expect a bloodbath. Cubans are very vengeful. And they have decades of anger, suffering, and deprivation to fuel that overdue bloodbath. The rulers know this. If the regime makes a deal with Trump on time in order to obtain some oil it might, just might survive, albeit weakened, but if Trump and Rubio walk away and keep the pressure on, it’s the end. Incidentally, notice that the demonstrations in Cuba are not anti-American (after all, the Cubans are not liberals). And they are not protesting the boycott. . . . . . And if the Cuban regime is overthrown, what then? Chaos. There is no organized resistance in the country that could take over. Possibly there may be a military coup d’etat. Possibly Cuban-Americans will step in. Either way, do not expect the new government to pay off the defaulted national debts and diplomatic agreements of the previous government.Have a great Day!

- Iran responded to the U.S. military’s Operation Epic Fury by firing hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones at targets in Israel, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. The seemingly indiscriminate retaliation prompted the terrorist group, which has been backed by the Iranian regime, to express “deep concern” about the conflict in its first such appeal to the regime.
Even Notorious Terror Group Hamas Thinks Iran’s Retaliatory Strikes On Neighbors Are Too Much
- During an interview with MS NOW on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded to claims that he told the U.S. that Iran had enough uranium to make multiple nuclear weapons by saying that he did say they had enough material that, if enriched further, could make ten nuclear weapons, but claiming that this was actually just trying to convey how big of a concession Iran was willing to make and not making a threat.
Iranian Foreign Minister Admits Mentioning Nuclear Bombs Like Witkoff Said, Claims It Wasn’t a Threat
- After years of domestic unrest, economic collapse, and growing popular resistance, the durability of the ruling system in Iran is increasingly uncertain. What matters now is not merely whether the current system crumbles, but whether a credible democratic alternative is ready to assume responsibility when it does.
Preparing for Iran’s Democratic Transition

Trump couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.
Others in the room also found it “hilarious” and joined the president’s reaction, while one senior intelligence official “has not stopped laughing about it for days,” said one person familiar with the briefing.

They were doing intellectual backward somersaults with backflips and twists to find something... anything wrong with Epic Fury and imagining all sorts of horrible outcomes. That are absolutely incapable of admitting or believing that anything Trump led could be good. It's a disease.... TDS

After the Mocks sued, Shapiro countersued, claiming that the land was now his through "adverse possession." He basically claimed that they abandoned the land despite their repeatedly trying to gain entry and repeatedly turning down his offers to buy it.
Welcome to the world of adverse possession. It is a doctrine dating back to 2000 B.C., and the Code of Hammurabi, allowing people to acquire title to land abandoned by owners over a long period of time. A really long time.

Let me violate the "no maths" rule. Let us assume that, in that state, 60% of voters are dems and 40% are republicans. Then assume that the dem and GOP voters spread their votes uniformly on their side of the partisan divide. That'd mean each GOP candidate gets 20% of the vote while each dem candidate gets 7.5%. This (mathematically possible, but unlikely) scenario would have two republicans proceeding to the general election, guaranteeing a republican guv in CA. So I wonder if the dems are working to get their voters to coalesce around one of their stinky candidates or will they leave it up to fate?

Nothing is written in stone, here. There are a number of possible outcomes. This is 100% down to how Donald Trump handles this.
But, if he listens to the many voices like General Jim Jones up top, clamoring to overlay "positively Jeffersonian" political systems in countries with huge numbers of radical Muslims, then, yeah - we're in deep shit. That Kool-Aid is pure poison, but lots of people are thirsty for it.
Just because the Islamofascist regime is undesirable, doesn't mean the natural alternative is an Iran where the millions of barking mad religious fanatics just throw up their hands and say "oh wow, these infidel swine were right all along. We should govern things around here through reasoned debate, in a way that guarantees their civil rights against our pitiless theocracy. Let's call together a Congress right after the Chamber of Commerce meeting, and maybe a Taylor Swift show."
That outcome is likely impossible, and if it somehow can be done, it will require decades of occupation and administration by US troops.

This is where I'm at.
But I think people who want that should be clear-eyed about it. That approach will not lead to a free Iran. Even if a straight-up majority of people want Jeffersonian democracy (I have doubts) there are still too many Muslims for a democracy to bear.
One of two things will precipitate from that power struggle. One would be the Islamists regaining control and going back to their old tricks. At some point we'd have to return and blast them all to kingdom come again. Not great, but meh, it's a yuuuuge setback for them, in any event.
The other would be a military dictatorship that ruthlessly keeps those Islamists suppressed, and more-or-less complies with our demands for peace - something like al-Sisi in Egypt, or Gaddafi in Libya before Hillary Clinton deposed him. Better outcome, if not optimal.
But building a democracy there would have to be done at gunpoint, by us. And people who want that to happen should be clear-eyed about that, too. That lunch will not be a free one.

Not speculation, actual law.
SCOTUS set the sorta outer limit of "no major judicial rulings" on changing election laws at about 90 days before the election in the TX redistricting case.
That is, the law must go in effect and the injunction was improper.
Early voting starts in MN and VA on September 18th.
Thus, let's not pass the SAVE Act until late July.
Under that precedent, the injunctions preventing its implementation would be struck down.
Remember: The SAVE Act includes a provision for private right to sue to enforce it--we don't need to wait for the DOJ to sue states

I'm sure it totally was organic and not the CIA. I can't prove it but something about this makes me want to say, fuck the USA.
In the last 5 years, 15% of Cuba's population has immigrated, a demographic disaster comparable to the potato famine in Ireland. Furthermore, the tourism market declined after the Covid-19 pandemic, and now they are suffering from constant blackouts and oil shortages. But somehow people will argue that it's all the CIA's fault and that Cubans love the communist regime and how they've ruled for the last half-century.
I just hope they get Venezuelaed and not Iraned
I too hope the pedophile class that runs the US government just kidnap a sovereign head of state rather than bombing them, yeah, that'd be much better. 🙄
President Trump says Cuba wants to make a deal with US. He’s spent a lifetime pretending to be a businessman. Everyone always wants to ‘make a deal’ or he’s always ‘negotiating’. It’s like a toddler playing make believe.

Many years ago when I was in the army, one day they offered to bus us over to Reno for the day. So of course I went. Reno is like a seedier version of Las Vegas. I did not gamble that day but the casinos offered very cheap meals at their restaurants. As long as you can resist the allure of the gambling you can get relatively cheap hotel rooms and meals at these places... at least that was true mumble, mumble years ago when I was in the army

Every single thing Conan believes, as expressed in his comment, is the opposite of reality: England does not arrest grooming gang pedophiles, England's arrest of Andrew and Lord Mandelson aren't pedo arrests, and America arrests pedos when local law doesn't protect them, or force elementary school children to accept their advances, and, lastly (and obviously), Trump is no pedophile.

Actually, it might be the best compromise to restart the franchise. People like the original cast, but they're way to old now to do live action and look right, so animation of their original characters with their voices might be the right call. Animated series can be successful when targeted at adults and with more serious topics.
If it is successful, I'd hope to see a spin-off live action with a new crew. Could be like Star Trek...we had the original series, an animated series, and The Next Generation.

So if it is 2%, for every $100 you spend you will on average get $98 back.
While you can of course "beat the odds" in the short term, it is unlikely.
You then can and should price out how much you will gamble if you are going to do so ahead of time...AND STICK WITH IT. Also, I think an important point is that money that is lost is in fact lost. If you go in with $100 and get down to $80 that twenty bucks is gone...don't bet on the basis of "I'll win it back"

The articles on the conviction of those Antifa in Dallas are bizzaro-world.
See, it was just a protest on July 4th.
And they only got convicted because they happened to wear all-black.
So they're being prosecuted for their 1st Amendment exercise.
Nothing about how:
- it was late at night
- they were shooting fireworks at the cars and building and vandalizing the vehicles to draw the agents out
- and then started shooting * at the agents when they did come out
- all pre-planned via extensive text messages
* the ones that even mention that part, 1st imply that it was defensive on the Antifa part and 2, that it only grazed his neck and the agent was fine, so no big deal.

- North Korea's latest scam is placing remote workers with tech companies. (NBC)
They've actually been doing this for a while. They fake their ID, phone a friend for interviews, send the money to the government, and steal secrets if they get a chance.
- Electric vehicle sales are booming in countries where a hundred miles is a long distance and nobody has children. (Electrek)
Less so in places with a future.
- Myrient, the 385TB archive of retro games that was dying of exorbitant hosting fees, has been saved. (Tom's Hardware)
The entire archive has been backed up and volunteers are working on a new website and torrent server.
I took a look myself, but I don't have 385TB of space available and it was hard to know where to start with a partial archive.
- Britain is investing $2.5 billion in nuclear power to protect itself from future energy price shocks. (GB News)
Not fission which exists and actually works, but fusion which doesn't. Except on an inconveniently abrupt scale.
- What good is a glass worm? (Aikido)
Glassworm, an attack that injects vulnerabilities into open-source projects by slipping invisible Unicode characters into sensitive places, is back.
Unicode merges all human languages, ever, into a single character set. Its creators never bothered to ask if this was a good idea.

Economic literacy would be a huge benefit to journalists, especially to an editorialist. Trump is not at fault for consumer rejection of EV's. Consumers got there all on their own, and only bought EV's when someone (Uncle Sam in this instance) paid them to buy the product. Rejecting any further participation in that corruption makes Trump a hero, and not a bad guy.

"The trick relies on invisible Unicode characters: code snippets that are rendered as nothing in virtually every editor, terminal, and code review interface.
"Attackers use these invisible characters to encode a payload directly inside what appears to be an empty string."

Sunday Overnight Open Thread - March 15, 2026 [Doof]
Bar Harbor, Maine - from Maggie LuskJohnson on X
Florida Man's Crappy Plan Man caught on camera stealing septic tank
Surveillance video shows a man trying to steal a septic tank, then returning the next day and taking it after his initial attempt failed, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies responded on Feb. 27 to a reported theft at a construction site in the 21600 block of W. Highway 40 in Dunnellon, the sheriff’s office said in a social media post. “As you can see in the surveillance footage, they discovered that Alfio Nocifora had a crappy plan to steal a septic tank on February 22 with his 2013 Toyota Corolla,” the post states. The attempt failed when a Jeep Cherokee arrived at the scene and, according to the sheriff’s office, Nocifora fled. He then returned the next day with a rented U-Haul truck and successfully loaded the septic tank and about $2,500 worth of electrical pipe. Deputies said Nocifora covered the U-Haul license plate and identification number with tape. A detective later identified him, obtained an arrest warrant, and deputies located him in Citrus County, where he was taken into custody, the sheriff’s office said.News video clip available here
Guinness has recorded some strange records over the years, and Favour Ogechi Ani’s record definitely ranks up there with the weirdest and most difficult of them. Starting in October 2025, the Nigerian woman spent 70 days confined to her home, counting out loud to 1,070,000. Counting out loud might not sound like the most difficult thing in the world, but can you imagine doing it for up to 14 hours a day, 70 days straight? It’s the kind of monotonous repetition that could make a person go mad, but Favour Ogechi Ani was so passionate about counting and focused on breaking the 18-year-old record for the highest number ever counted out loud that she never thought about quitting. “Honestly, it was tough, but my passion for counting kept me going,” Favour said. “I had a lovely team supporting and cheering me up, and it was fun despite the challenges. My determination to achieve this project was a burn-the-boats mission. I never thought of giving up for any reason.” Starting on October 8th, Favour Ogechi Ani started livestreaming her daily counting routine on YouTube, which helped validate her record attempt. She also credits the people cheering her on as an extra motivating factor that kept her counting daily until December 16 of last year. *** The old record, which had stood for a whopping 18 years, was an out-loud count to 1,000,000, but instead of just counting to 1,000,001 and calling it a day after a grueling counting marathon, Favour kept going until 1,070,000.

The Army has officially adopted the M111 (and it’s practice counterpart the M112). May not sound terribly significant, but they are the first lethal hand grenades adopted since 1968. As many know, our standard M67 grenade works pretty well as a fragmentation grenade. Pull the pin, four-ish seconds later it goes ‘splodey, and sends out shards of metal in pretty much every direction. Basic, simple stuff. Unless you have to use it indoors, within the blast radius of the fragments. Fragments can get deflected, go in odd directions, through thin walls – not as much fun, right? *** Has there ever been a case of mesothelioma reported in someone sharing a room with an exploding grenade? (“Call Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe for action!”Thank you David for your contribution to our Smart Military Blog. Although you know which ONT host probably doesn't like this story?

Fast forward (actually rewind, but details) to Women's History Month at the White House (March 12, 2026). Melania hosted in the East Room alongside POTUS, and she went full fierce with an Adam Lippes Levi Belted Leopard Print Chenille Maxi Skirt. Leopard print on a midi/ maxi length? Bold, but no one is surprised Melania owned it. The skirt was paired with a what I believe to be the Ralph Lauren collection cashmere sweater we have seen before. The belt adds definition, the chenille texture is subtle luxury. The shoes are Christian Louboutin black suede Pigalle Follies 120 pumps. This look is “I'm here to honor women who roar." Adam Lippes has been a go-to for FLOTUS (remember that Inauguration coat?), and this proves why: American-made elegance with a wild side.
Shoutout to Second Lady Usha Vance at the same event, she looked absolutely lovely in the Marie Oliver The Paxton Dress. The high-neck, long-sleeve midi in a striking blue-and-white abstract zebra-ish print was modern, confident, and fresh. The pattern pops without overwhelming, and the silhouette is graceful for daytime White House duties. Usha is starting to elevate her style game, and she is also an adorable pregnant woman. Love that for her.
We can't skip the historic first: Melania chairing the UN Security Council on March 2. She chose a sharp Christian Dior belted gray virgin wool tweed jacket (removable scarf for options) over a matching pencil skirt. Peplum shaping, which is currently very on trend, black belt cinch, textured tweed, it all equals pure business chic. Dior + Louboutin heels? Unbeatable power combo.
Which of these looks was your favorite, are you Team Tweed or Team Animal print? ----- Thanks, Piper! By the way, if you'd like a sneak peek at what Piper will probably be featuring next week, check out Piper's X page. She's been posting Oscar red carpet stuff this evening.

Just finished watching a classic psychological mystery, Crossroads, from 1942. William Powell of the "Thin Man" movies plays a French diplomat in 1935, married to Hedy Lamarr (yes, her), and saddled with amnesia. Suddenly he is thrust into a maze of blackmail and duplicity; Basil Rathbone and Claire Trevor demand a million francs from him, because, they say, he was their confederate in a robbery in 1922. But he doesn't remember!
Or does he? Powell and the script keep us guessing until the end. It's a fine little B & W mystery.

Tony Bennett was in it, as I recall -- probably his only dramatic role.
The original screenplay might have been pretty good stuff from Harlan. But knowing his stories of how studio execs can ruin things, I wouldn't be surprised if there were too many cooks meddling in the production. Usually Harlan took his real name off projects he was disgusted by, using his pen name "Cordwainer Bird."

There were four of us in emergency having done so. Felt bad for a plumber who hurt his whole hand pretty badly. It was busy, so the gave us all morphine and stuck us in a corner. The three of us with hand injuries spent our time busting chops of the guy who stuck his foot in, like how can you clean the shoot with your foot. Actually a kind of fun afternoon. When I got home the kids and I went looking and found the top of my thumb.

I usually open the ONT every night and read through it but don’t look at the comments until the next day so it is too late to comment. So, pie from last night. Lemon Pecan Pie from The Hammett House in Claremore, OK. They serve it in a heated skillet with a brandy butter sauce with vanilla ice cream. I don’t know if mindful has made it there since it is a little NE of Tulsa. If you need another reason to go to Claremore, there is also the J. M. Davis Arms Museum.
I am going to make a trip to the Hammett House in a couple of weeks for some pie, with a side trip to The Amish Cheese House in Chouteau, OK.

I have been thinking about that - it would be like the Iranians to burn as much of their own country down as possible when they know they’re losing.
I suspect Trump is hoping they’ll slack off in threatening oil shipping in the Straits of Kharg is threatened, but I think they are far past any rational reasoning like that now. Still, it’s probably a good idea to occupy it, as well as a few other small islands in the straits (for strategic reasons)

I've been to RenFaires in CA, OR, and WA. All.of them at least tried for some degree of authenticity. This one seemed to be a carnival with a 17th century theme. They.market it as family oriented, which requires the rough edges of that time period to be rounded off which explains some of it. For instance, unlike others, they restrict weaponry to the degree that it's cartoonish, and they're pretty fussy about "revealing attire". The other is that is obviously a commecial.endeavor, and the assembly line nature is not well hidden. Very little of the independent artisan goods on sale showed any real artistry. At least the jousting seemed to be skilled, in a "WWE rasslin" sense.
For me, it wasn't worth the ~400 mile trip. YMMMV.

The Hammett House used to print the recipe for their lemon pecan pie and for their German Chocolate pie on their placemats but the last time I was there they had stopped doing that. You can find the recipe on the internet. It is fairly simple. My wife baked it a few times. There is an orange pecan pie variant that we tried one time but we much preferred the lemon pecan. A word of warning, they have many types of pie and some of them are huge. The peanut butter chocolate chip is several inches tall. The first time I ate at the Hammett House, we were in town for an audit and the client took us there for lunch. The food portions were huge and covered the plate. Then they asked if we wanted any pie. We said sure. It was tough staying awake that afternoon while auditing their books.

President Trump does like some misdirection and doesn't mind if the rest of us are confused in the moment as a result. Whether he says shit, or quite obviously sends stealth bombers the long way around the world to give a false timeframe for an attack.
I wonder if we're going to find out at the end of this if he asked a friend to play a role that would in the short term require him to shred his reputation, but put him in a position to feed Iran information that lead to their entire leadership being in one place when we were ready to hit them.
I mean, it's a low probability guess, and I'm annoyed enough that I'm not listening to Tucker any more, but I can see *Trump* doing it.

MN Faire gets a bit of everything. Proper Ren Faire garb, including a few dirndls, and outfits with structural-steel bodices, and an occasional belly-dancer outfit. A few teenage or twentysomething college girls in fairy costumes with a pound of glitter. Random steampunk outfits. Someone wearing last year's Halloween costume. Extras from the last Mad Max movie. Cosplayers that missed their convention and went to the Faire instead (The Doctor, Deadpool, etc.)
Mostly people in regular street clothes, or something approximately Renaissance-Faire appropriate, though.

The caption.
"Local resident - Mohammed"

I'm resting this week and wanted to relax and watch all the 'Saw' movies which I've seen before. I did buy a few last time. But the first movie is no longer free.....today. The series is across several services.
Wtf
The 'Terrifier' movies were fantastic. Number 2 was amazing. The lead actresses breasts were mesmerizing...

6 armed British police officers arrested a man named Lee yesterday at Manchester Airport as he returned to the UK from a vacation.
The arrest was made due to someone reporting that they were offended by a Facebook post Lee had made about immigration

They did such an amazing job creating the characters for 2. I think of the hobby thread considering how much time Sienna was shown putting together the costume. And the breasts. I followed her on Instagram.
The clown girl too. Very pretty teenager.
A great movie, 'The Black Phone.' I know Madeleine McGraw from DisneyChannel. She won a chainsaw award for her performance there. Number 2 was pretty good too.
You got me wondering if 'Teeth' is still available.

Funny thing, I don't think the gauge wires are truly "soldered" as in having been wet by the molten solder. The factory didn't solder them; they wrapped the wire around the stud, and applied a daub of glue. Nichrome resistance wire doesn't "take" solder. But I built up blobs of solder on the ends of the studs, and simply submerged the nichrome wire in the molten blob, and let it set. The gauges worked when bench-tested, so I assume the wires make decent electrical contact.

I got real good at reconnecting broken traces the width of human hairs on game controller PC boards. It was a necessary skill during my tantrum man days, lol. Well, years of guitar amp work kinda helped, but still. Its like micro surgery on the amps sometimes. Kinda like playing the game operation, only the patient's nose don't light up if you touch the wrong thing. Instead you just burn up a bunch of shit that you really don't want to burn up.

The Incredible Petrified World!
Today's offering are two more of the excellent Big Sky Cigar Co. Yellowstone, is the fifth of their River Series of the best fishing streams in Montana. The others were covered a few months ago. This is a very mild cigar, made in Esteli, Nicaragua. A blend of Ecuadorian, Connecticut and Nicaraguan tobacco. As all of these cigars, very well made and simply great to enjoy. I've paired it with some great, if not well known bourbons. Big Horn, Devil's Brigade and Penelope Four Grain. The second cigar is Tim Montana Vigilante. Which I had to try because of the name. It is unexpectedly mild, very similar to Yellowstone in taste and flavor. It pairs well with the above bourbons also Buffalo Trace. Finding the cigars is harder. I order them from their website and there are brick and mortar stores around. As a side note Texas has a lot of stores that carry them. For some reason the company is not able to ship to residential addresses in Texas. I has three people try to explain that to me from the company. I still don't get it. They shup out of Miami though and are very prompt.Excellent, Winston AKA Pops! Thank you!

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

They do ship here. I've ordered from them before and they're great. They have some newer cigars as well, but I've not encountered them yet.
By the way, the Cigar Pairing Parlor in Yakima is open. The restaurant and bar are yet to be approved. They do have three working golf simulators. Hours are odd.

While not bullets, I learned to shoot skeet on a range that was built on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. On breezy days, it was common to have your outgoing clay targets slow down, stop, and then come back towards you.

No, if anything it's worse.
There's no indoor smoking at the store in Yakima. You could when they were on the REZ but the new owner wanted to do something else.
Also, I don't know if the excise tax on tobacco products is being collected by out of state vendors.
9.8% is damn steep. Then, they want a $2.00 per pack cigarette tax increase.
For the chirren of course.

Rule #4: Be sure of your target, and what is beyond it.

We have been to the range and can confirm that we worked on fundamentals. Given the encouragement of last week's content, I sought to focus on trigger. At times, I found success. Other times, success was more elusive. The problem I have is that I'm trying to do the same things and it feels the same, but results vary.
Grateful, on the other hand, remains a sniper.
We're both getting new glasses, so will be interesting if being able to see helps our results.
We also gave the gubs and magazines a proper and thorough cleaning, so we're ready for next time.

PI, I have a Colt Kodiak, which is a 4" barreled Anaconda with ports (six in all). .44 Magnum recoil out of that feels significantly softer, and .44 Special feels like .38 Special. So the barrel ports do make a difference to me, at least.

I purchased a S&W 657 (.41 Magnum) w/ /6.5" barrel and unfluted cylinder some years ago, and even before I'd shot it, sent it in for Mag-Na-Porting, which was relatively new and 'hot' at the time. While waiting for its return, I purchased another identical one.
Upon its return, I took them both to the range, excited to experience the salutory effects of the ports (two on each side of the barrel). Bang! No perceived difference. Bang! Same.
So I fired them both simultaneously, one in each hand, single-action. No perceptable difference with the ported one in my right (strong) hand. Only when I fired the ported one in my left hand could I detect a slight difference in recoil reduction.
Now I did have an opportunity to shoot a competition 9x23 (a very hot 9mm round) with an excellent port. It had negative jump (i.e. you had to bring it back up on target, not lower it.

The Kodiak's rubber grips really help a lot when it comes to softening felt recoil. Do your bride's hand fit the grips of that Bodyguard 2.0 well? If her hands don't fit well with that pistol, all the porting in the world won't help her.

I you couldn't feel a difference in .41 magnum, then I doubt my wife could feel any difference in .380 acp.
The Performance Center upgrade does have a slightly longer barrel. One of the reviewers did get a small velocity increase on his chrono compared to the OEM barrel.
I figure it never hurts to have a bit more velocity in .380.

TRex, where does your trigger finger sit on the trigger, the pad?, the distal (first) joint? or does your finger go further into the trigger using your standard grip. When you get inconsistent results, the first thing I would check is fit of the pistol to your hand. Next, I would check to see if your master grip is consistent. For proper recoil management, the bones of your forearm and wrist should align with the muzzle in a straight line. Using a crush grip (grip as hard as you can and then back off just a tad) also prevents using your smaller fingers from milking the trigger. You get a consistent force. This is NOT a target grip nor firearm specific.
Contrary to Herr Glock, the distal joint where the trigger nests in the first joint is the most consistent in placement and allows the strongest leverage to pull anything from a double action revolver 12 lb trigger to a striker fired 4.5 lb wt.
Try while drying firing at home.

People can and have gotten into legal trouble at the ranges. A fair chunk of range customers may be leos or leo adjacent and I can think of several cases where bystanders at the range got people firing into trouble. One was a Wisconsin case where a guy had a defective Olympia AR that doubled. He went to prison when a leo saw his problems at the range and reported him to the ATF. Other cases involved unlicensed SBRs or shotguns, people using the Glock switch, etc.

Not suggesting or recommending that anyone tries to violate a law. A range would need to look at the equipment of all law-abiding customers if they were actively trying to identify outliers.

Usually it does. Magna Porting is the premier pistol porting firm but most people find porting unpleasant with minimal effects on recoil unless you are firing really hot rounds with a lot of gas (like full round 357 rounds).
As a sidenote though, in the K Frame Model 66, flame cutting and barrel cracking (the original K Frame in 357 used the same flat spot on the underside of the barrel (to allow the cylinder to close) of forcing cone where cracking happens in a full diet of hot 357 rounds.
Dunno if porting would help or hurt that. On teh SP 101, it is a tank and go to go with unpleasantly and heavily loaded 357's if your hand tolerates it.

AND I think the bigger one will be the carry an assault firearm on or about one's person any place open to the public...
I suppose that they could probably change to allow only members to shoot and that would make it a club not a place open to the public. But that's going to also put a dent in who is going to come and shoot. AND it is also seems to me that if the cops wanted to be a-holes about it they could wait in the parking lots of ranges and ask people what is in the cases.

I adore M66's, esp. w/3" barrel. For shooters, it shouldn't be a big hit either way. Collectors (and an unfired no-dash is collectable) will probably wrinkle their noses.
Given the weight of an SP-101, I'd be surprised if any significant recoil reduction happens.

Question for the Horde. I have an old H&R pocket hammerless .32 revolver. Apparently a first model, first variation. Seems identical to this pic: https://tinyurl.com/3928p4t3
Four-digit serial number.
It would not fire reliably because hammer spring was too weak. Ordered a new hammer spring, which had to be cut down because too long. Finally made it fit; it did a fine job of popping the primer on an emptied-out cartridge.
New problem cropped up. Now the trigger does not reset fully. It springs back maybe 90% of its travel, but has to be pushed the last 10% . And the sear and the hand won't reset unless the trigger does all the way forward to its stop. Remove the hammer spring, and trigger resets. Seems like the hammer spring is causing pressure on a part called the "rebounder", to which the hand is affixed.
Any suggestions? I am thinking maybe a hammer spring of lighter-gauge metal?

Was the porting part of a factory custom job? You can check S&W's historian to find out (this will cost time and $$). I don't know about Ruger. Generally speaking, a factory custom job might even enhance value if it's sold to the right buyer (with documentation). Post-factory custom work rarely enhances value unless other factors come into play (famous or notorious owner requesting customization, well known gunsmith, etc).

Not sure if he was spotted by RSO or if someone reported him to TSO, but he was escorted off the premises.
Somewhere along the way this got reported to the "authorities." And turns out the guy was a DC resident, and he had 3d printers and stuff he had printed lying about in his abode. He is in deep doo doo.
So this is not a regular check for legal compliance - but if you try to modify a gun you have rented from a range AT THE RANGE - bad things are likely to happen.

We don't enforce laws, just our own safety SOP, is our answer. Not aware there's ever been a stool pigeon incident (like the cases whig describes, which are incredible to me). And it's common for people to come and swap out parts on ARs to shoot, then swap them back to CA-legal condition when they leave.
We get SEALs fairly often, coming for various reasons. They always ask if they can bring their "work" guns. I always answer "the more exotic the better, and we don't enforce laws here". Last time this happened the guy brought a newly introduced .308 AR-10 variant, think he called it an SP-10, with some sweet optics (duh). A pleasure to (accurately) shoot at the 300-yd target. Beautiful.
Best rule is to always call ahead and check.

Thanks Red. I've been doing a bit of reading/vid-watching on that exact topic the last couple of days. A couple of questions if I may.
As I understand it, I can establish the trust with myself as the only trustee and then when I buy my first NFA item and assign it to the trust, I have to do all the ATF stuff -- prints, pics, etc. What is the process to add other trustees?
What is the difference between a trustee and a beneficiary?

According to Brave AI, Smith & Wesson Model 66 did not have factory-standard Magna-Porting as a cataloged option. While Magna-Port is a patented process by the company Magna-Port, Smith & Wesson never offered it as a standard factory feature on the Model 66.
The SP-101 might be ported from the factory but doubtful that the Model 66 with no dash was as production ended about 1977. FWIW, it appears the Ruger did have a licensing and mfg agreement with Magnaport to offer models from the factory with it.

If they are in collectible shape (like nearly new), see if you can get the original box (for Rugers that are factory ported, it is on the box) and instructions. Some people keep the boxes, some don't but it can make a difference in value.
If you do shoot 357 magnums in a K Frame (the newest revived ones are fine to shoot btw due to a redesigned sleeved barrel), use the heavier 140-158 gr rather than the light and hot 125 GR JHP that police used.

The ATF requires that the NFA Trust meet its legal requirements as a condition of approval. As well, all Trustees/Responsible Person must do the complete approval process - background check, fingerprints, photos, etc.

So how does a Virginia legislator get himself a nice mail order Daniel Defense AR out in the near future? He shows his special legislator ID to the FFL in VA when it comes in?
How does an FFL person know the ID is valid, and that the guy or gal standing in front of him is still in office? Or is it good for life, your VA legislator status, as far as buying the gun?
And how will a shipper such as Palmetto State Armory know they are shipping to an anointed VA gun buyer?
Ima gonna go into the fake ID for gun buy biz in VA starting soon.

What is the difference between a trustee and a beneficiary?
Posted by: Oddbob
=======
Go ahead and put a wife (or kids) on the trust to begin with. If something happens, makes it easy to transition and there is a difference between an NFA trust that only deals with one NFA item rather than multiple firearms and NFA items. The latter is more expensive to draft but better overall in the current $0 tax stamp era.

Lots of P7 mags for the 4 pistols (I did physically see those already), which is nice. And I have a personal connection to Triple K here in town, which manufactures out of production mags to order.
As I said I don't shoot 357, just did a few cylinders way back to see what it was like. Though the Colt King Cobra is a boat anchor and seems like it could handle a diet of those.

I use construction grade sharpies and yep, Dykem is expensive so I only use that on the most critical parts like sears, etc.
Lampblack also can serve if you don't mind the mess. I am thinking that the spring may be strong enough to be pulling some of the moving parts out of alignment enough to rub on the frame or other parts in the trigger-hammer like a hammer block if you have one.

Colts are gtg with heavy loaded cartridges and the Cobra is the more modern revolver design compared with the older 1898 era locking mechanism using leaf springs.
Colt always had better and more consistent metallurgy back in the day than Smith did. Smiths were easier to work on their lockwork and better double action triggers unmodified. Colts had better single action.
To give you an example of mag prices, I bought a Sig ex military P6 in the early 2000's, sold here as the P225. Original magazines now are about 75-100 bucks each and no longer available other than Pro Mag. The brief revived Sig P225 a couple used different magazines for that model.

1. Buy guns and ammo. And mags! Now.
2. If you have the parts for something that falls under the definition of an assault firearm (say you have an unfinished lower) and you have been putting off building it - build it. Would assembling it later fall under the ban on manufacture? Not a great risk.
3. Look into trusts especially if you have non-immediate-family who would be recipients of your firearms upon your death - because transfers will be banned except for immediate family. And VA legislators!
4. Take pictures of your inventory (scuba to the bottom of the pond if necessary) and email them to yourself. This self documents ownership and puts a timestamp. If you are not comfortable with doing that, the lawyer said his office will photograph and place the photos in a private file there in the office for a fee.

My go-to cigar supplier is JR Cigars.
I’ve found some very good cheap ones, and I smoke a LOT of cigars.
Their JR alternatives are excellent. My go-to size is a Robusto. Every order contains at least 2 bundles of their Cohiba clones. Excellent. And some others, like Hoya, La Gloria, Punch, and other top brands.
Sign up for their e-mails. Warning! You will get a lot! But their 40% coupons will get you nice, enjoyable sticks for under 2 bucks.

The rest of the parts for the P6 are available as many of them are used in other P models.
Some of the oldest models may not feed certain hollowpoints like Hornady well. But the design is rock solid (cousin of the P220 in 45 ACP) and the weight of the pistol makes them easy to fire and the single stack magazines are more reliable than double stack on old used magazines. I have about ten mags or so from mine as I bought them from the LGS for a steal after the LGS ran out of the P6s to sell.
The one negative other than older ones feeding certain hollowpoints is some people report issues using ultra high velocity +p ammo as the slide moves too fast to pick up new rounds. Feed it 124 gr hollow points with a decent ogive and it simply works and accurate as heck.

Who knows but my opinion is that it won’t move the market much because the new brands are bigger with more political and economic muscle than the original commie brands. But it almost doesn’t matter to me because I’ve moved away from the classic commie brands. I really like the new brands that don’t have any trademark issues with the old commie brands. I smoke mostly AJ, CAO, some of the Pepin and Bradley smokes, and AVO when I can find a good deal on them (the Synco is excellent but very expensive).

Peter Pi, who founded Corbon, was a talented designer and Corbon bought the Glaser line of ammo and make those too. He left Corbon and there was some disruption for awhile but others have taken it over and it is shipping product again including a considerable line of pistol and rifle self defense ammo. Some using DPX bullets.
If you see them around, the Federal Nyclad 125gr hollow points in 38 Special perform well other than barriers and are very low recoil. Nylon coated swaged lead hollow point bullets.
Myself, I have Remington 158 gr swaged lead hollow point ammo ( the old FBI load) and Speer still made at last check, swaged lead 158 gr hollow point bullets for practice round loadings.
The Golden Saber line from Remington also has a very good 38 Special +p cartridge but not been made in the last several years.

I used to buy Cubans at duty free (or tabacchias in Rome or other places in Europe) regularly, but mostly as gifts as I was a very occasional burner of dried cured black leaf back then.
I was just thinking of the trademark fight. I think the New World guys are on the high ground for many reasons, and if anything a likely outcome is, say, Montecristo in an advantageous joint venture with or buying the Cuban one outright. Can see the resulting companies having Cuban and non-Cuban lines. Imagine the sector in Cuba will need massive investment, from the fields on up. But one way or the other the fields of Pinar del Rio and the rollers will be part of the cigar world once the gangster regime is liquidated.

You heard correctly. The Cuban quality fell off a cliff — although the very high end and obscenely expensive Cuban smokes still have a bit of a unique flavor — in large part because they found a yuge new market in status-obsessed China where all they care about is that it’s a Cuban cigar.

Recognizing that the de facto repeal of the 2A by courts - and their substitution of their own "doctrines" and "tests" and often just outright nonsensical policy preferences - is probably the most outlandish abandonment of the constitution on a competitive list thereof, would think there would be some pushback.

Biggest "beginner" mistake is starting with too fine sharpening stones. Get a 600 grit (more coarse) and maybe a 1000 or 1200 (finer grit) and a leather strop. Start coarse until you can feel a burr develop on the edge, and refine it with the finer stones. Takes a little practice but you'll get the hang of it!

I used to be able to create (and feel) the burr on my 400 grit stone, but the last time out, it wasn't happening for some reason. The Sharpie test told me that I had the correct angle, but the end result was unsatisfactory.
I guess, just like shooting, knife-sharpening is a perishable skill!

Agree. I would add that sharpening should be a regular thing so the blade doesn’t ever get dull. I use the contraption sharpener I mentioned above because it’s idiot proof, but I sharpen regularly so I never need to use more than 800 or 600 to start.

For example I expect the carry on or about one's person law to get overturned at some point. I have heard people say that this law is intended to only cover open carry. "Washington Gun Law" on YouTube opined that, said don't worry about the law so much.
EXCEPT THE LAW DOES NOT STATE OPEN CARRY. It says you cannot have it on or about your person in any place open to the public. That means people are going to get dinged on it.
And I think it leaves you open to forfeiture, too.
It's going to take a while to get these changed, and people will pay a price for it.

If it is, (I think it is but I am often wrong) the spring may not be riding well on the nose of the trigger, if it is too long it might interfere with the full rebound.
I think it is similar to the Spanish knock-offs of the S&W Russian. I can't tell if the H&R acts with the upper or the lower leg of the V-spring from drawings and I have never had one apart. Does this animation of the Spanish pistol help?

I do have a shitty utility knife that I use for hacking through corrugated boxes and those infuriating metal foils on whisky bottles and some other things you shouldn’t use a knife for. But my real knives are pampered and kept sharp and only used for meal prep.

It is a V-shaped trigger spring, but its action is different than in that animation. Without the drag of the hammer spring, the trigger spring moves the trigger quite forcefully to the reset position.

Well, the garlic is out in the sunshine, probably soon to be eaten by those vile rodents with bushy tails and a penchant for damaging my home. But if they survive the squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

The wife and I went to Bristol, VA yesterday to try out the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. On the way back, we finally had a chance to hit the Buc-ee's east of Knoxville not too far from Dandridge.
Well! You know how there are regular Walmarts and Super Walmarts? Apparently there are Super Buc-ee's and this was one of them. This place was far bigger than the ones in N. Crossville, TN and Royse City, TX.
Got my beef jerky and candy-coated nuts too.

There was a time in this country when people would have been ashamed to take food stamps at all, much less bitch and whine because you can't get exactly what you want, regardless of the fact that I'm paying for it.

Meatloaf is one of my wife's "comfort foods". In fact, I have been married long enough to know that the smell of a comfort food being cooked almost certainly means she had a bad day or a bad week.
Since I am an Idiot, it took several years to realize I should always ask what is bothering her. This week, it was one of her class disruptors took it up about two more notches.

I'm sure its a bit of PITA, but actual SNAP recipients that need a bit of help with groceries probably just get the eligible items with the SNAP card, and then buy their treats with the EBT card or cash.

I get 12oz of 1/2" thick bacon from our butcher, only give it an hour on the smoker, then cut it up into 1" pieces and throw in the Dutch oven, cover with a cut up onion, 28 oz Bush's baked beans, 1/2 cup brown sugar, some ketchup and mustard and molasses to taste, bake at 225 for 6 hours and refrigerate overnight.
Served cold.

Yeah, I have salmon filet planned for tomorrow, but if we lose power, told the spouse it's probably PB with bananas and honey.
We lost power Friday with the last windstorm for 3 hours (hadn't lost power in years)...so I don't know which way this will go. Thankfully, we had a Church soup dinner to go to which had power (told the spouse if I'd have been in the middle of prepping dinner, it would have had to be tossed, so at least tomorrow is a 20 minute cook plan).
I'll probably prebake homemade blueberry muffins and serve 2 cold salads (fruit and cucumber), so it's just the salmon for the worst of the storms...

Roast the cabbage in wedges and the carrots separately (you can rewarm the carrots if you can only fit one at a time in your oven).

There is an air gap between the inner and outer glass panels...that's for insulating the heat of the oven from the exterior glass. The interior glass will be as hot as the oven, and it will radiate a lot of heat into the kitchen.
So...if you use the oven, your kitchen will get hot, and there is a significant risk of getting burned very badly.

Wouldn't recommend slow cooking cabbage. Add all the other ingredients to your crock pot. About an hour before dinner time, Roughly dice your cabbage and saute in olive oil and maybe some carraway seeds. I usually would do this in a large stock pot so you can move the cabbage around as it cooks.

For truly tender, fall-apart brisket nirvana where Christians and Jews agree on a messiah, I have to roast the meat at least 8 hours, preferably 10+. That’s how long it takes to break down the collagen at low and slow.
Yea, I can make a pretty good brisket in a few hours. The meat is not hard, and quite flavorful, but I wouldn’t call it tender or anywhere near the nirvana ideal.
In fact, we did St Paddy dinner yesterday, and we did corned beef — duh — and only had time to roast for maybe 3-4 hours. Came out good, tasty, but I wouldn’t call it tender.

1 medium yellow onion
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 14 oz can fire-roasted tomatoes, diced
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup beef stock
1 bottle beer (I used Dead Guy Ale on hand)
2.5 lbs brisket, cubed*
6 strips of cooked bacon, cut into pieces
2 cans chili beans in mild sauce
1 tsp chocolate/cocoa powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp cumin
2-3 tbsp chili powder (I used a chipotle blend)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp oregano
Black pepper and salt to taste
2 spoonfuls of masa hating to thicken
I don't have a smoker so I used a smoky black pepper rub in the brisket and cooked it at 250 degrees for 5-6 hours in a pan, with a bit of liquid (tented in foil for the first two hours).
Sauté onion, garlic, and peppers; add seasonings, sauté for three more mins.
Dump in crockpot along with can of tomatoes and chicken/beef stock. Add brisket, bacon, and beans. Stir so the delicious gestalt of flavors can brood. Heat on low for 3-4 hours.

I was wondering why a "Mexican Mule" was not called a "Burro."
So I looked it up.
And the "El Burro" cocktail is..... a Mexican Mule.
Though it is The Internet, so there are 75 variations, adding things like pineapple juice and Angostura bitters.....

My wife brought home a Sunbeam counter top deli slicer from the church rummage sale, it is chrome and probably as old as I am. It has to be disassembled to be cleaned, and honestly it needs to be regreased as well.
It does, however, work very well at slicing roasts and corned beef very thin and even.

There is an air gap between the inner and outer glass panels...that's for insulating the heat of the oven from the exterior glass. The interior glass will be as hot as the oven, and it will radiate a lot of heat into the kitchen.
So...if you use the oven, your kitchen will get hot, and there is a significant risk of getting burned very badly.

No, no, no...grab a pan, coat it with oil, and just smoosh the meatloaf down into it on your stove top on medium heat...make it a skillet circle. Let it crust on the non-sauced side and flip it.
See if it turns out. If it starts burning before fully cooking, then you can just turn it almost into a beef scramble...

Allocated booze is the rare stuff that is doled out in small quantities to liquor stores, based on their purchases of the cheaper mass-market stuff. So a liquor store might get one or two bottles of the good stuff, and they have to figure out how to sell it. Lottery? Points systems based on how much each customer buys, etc. Or they can just jack the price!

I bought one from cabelas about 10-12 years ago and it works fine. Very heavy but very adjustable, I bought the middle of the road one. Not the most expensive unit but a couple steps up from their lowest price models which are cheap plastic junk. Sort of a biotch to clean but disassembly is straightforward just time consuming. I use it for my jerky meat cutting as well.
Sucker is sharp and you need to wear cut resistant gloves when taking it apart to clean it or reassemble it or you are going to need a handful of bandaids.

This irritates me because "olallie" is Chinook jargon for "berry" generically. It did mean salmon berry by itself but it was used as the class identifier for other berry fruit.
Which means olallieberries are "berry berries"

Sofrito (3 Tbspn)
Oregano (2 Tbspn)
Garlic powder (1 Tbspn)
1 teaspoon:
ground coriander
onion powder
paprika
cumin
½ cup olive oil
S&P to taste
After four hours (over night even better) make a braising liquid of 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup of water and a 1/4 cup of lime juice. Pour this into a roasting pan, add the shoulder, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 300. 5-6 lb roast should be done in about three hours, then remove foil and blast at 400-450 for another 30 minutes to crisp up the skin.
Remove from the oven, skim fat from the braising liquid, add maybe two tbspns of cider vinegar then pour into a bowl filled with chopped parsley. This is your garnish. If the roast falls apart as you try to lift it out of the pan, you've done it correctly...

Parboil those tiny potatos 20 mins
Trim and Halve brussels sprouts (you can stop here if you don't celebrate)
Parboil them separately the last 10 mins of the taters
arrange cut side down in the roasting pan
add Salt and a splash of vinegar
Drain and drop taters with gently but not arranged.
Salt if you haven't already.
Add your beef on top and roast as usual.

I had a hankering for some salmon yesterday, so got a previously frozen fillet of silver at my fish monger.
Because it was frozen, it needed some fat, so I melted some butter and threw in blackberries, lemon, a pinch of sugar and some salt.
Salt and pepper on the fish, then the blackberry sauce, oven for 10 minutes at 400.
Served with homemade coleslaw and turmeric spiked rice.
Beautiful colorful flavorful plate.
Leftover salmon will be a salmon salad sammich tomorrow. Because no one should reheat silver salmon in a microwave. Just. No.

Take my Mexican meatloaf idea above - do salsa, guac, eggs, salt, pepper and then food process some corn chips and/or tortilla chips and mix in...use I'd just say crush, but I don't think you want the sog factor of the product in the eventual meatloaf.
Cook like you would normal meatloaf.
I'd suggest you could also use your normal gluten free fake subs...but I like to stick to suggesting real foods ideas if I can (but like, using your gluten free bread as the dry binder will also likely work for a "regular" meatloaf type)...

So no one has designed a small, low-cost, easy-to-clean meat slicer yet?
That seems pretty un-American to me.
And an opportunity.....

Pretty sure my mom used oats. Isn't that gluten free?
I have never cared for meatloaf, myself. But that won't surprise anyone!
Posted by: Dash my lace wigs! at March 15, 2026 05:36 PM (h7ZuX)
Oats can be gluten free, but they are an iffier gluten-free sub b/c you have to look at how they are grown. Some are 100% gluten free, and some are not...b/c some are grown right next to gluten products, so they will not say they are 100% gluten free (which will still make them fine for most folks, but not allergy or very severe intolerance folks)...
It's why when oats products say they are 100% gluten free, it's not a worthless label like "duh" - it does mean something...

Is that with or without any sides?
Here in Central Texas, a local chain named Rudy's (which bills itself as "The Worst BBQ in Texas"*) is now charging $10 plus change for a brisket sandwich.
* It's far from the worst. On a bad day (brisket can be quite variable), it's a little past ok, on a good day, it can approach (but not equal) the best brisket available locally.

Lol. I don’t think you understand how marketing and pimping works. It’s the mystique and rarity that creates demand. Not the other way around.3
You’d lose the bet. I just bought a bottle online. Maybe it’s bullshit and they never ship it, but we’ll see.
There is NOTHING that can’t be bought, no matter how many people tell you it’s ’sold out.’ Telling you it’s ’sold out’ is the whole point of the marketing. Don’t fall for it.

Yes, that's called the secondary market. You are paying some multiple of the retail price. There is also as much Pappy van Winkle 23 as you want on the secondary market, and it's about $3,000-$5,000/bottle, with a list price of about $250.

Avocados are a great sub for folks that can't eat eggs. You'd be using the avocado mashed, so it needs to be riped and in almost spreadable form (thus, why guac is a nice sub in) and you want a firmer binder b/c avocado will give you less structure but more mouthfeel, so you want to combat that less structure with enough dry bind.
100 years ago, folks wouldn't have imagined half the foods we now just eat normally - but this is where creativity in cooking or screw ups (hello ice cream cone and corn flakes) come in...

As I said, you can get anything no matter how sold out it is. Do you have to pay more? Of course. In any event, assuming they ever ship it, I’ll post my tasting notes. I’ll make another bet that it’s drastically overrated and pure marketing driven by bourbon influencers waving it around.

This is going to be confusing, but try to keep up.
Retail price for most of the allocated bourbons are in line with their quality. The secondary market prices are often stupid. The trick is to find the allocated bourbons at stores that sell it at the retail price.

Cook the ground Mirepoix the night before, and chill. Add a gelatin packet to the cream/bread crumb mix. Add the egg, then add the veggies, then the meat. Go easy on the salt in the mix. Add the bulk of the seasoning to the outside. Too much salt on the inside turns it into a cake. Use a floured, greased bread pan, covered with double foil. Turn over and knock out the loaf 30 min in. Add the glaze after a few and cook till crispy.

3. I’m not sure what’s controversial about me saying ‘X is not worth the price, it’s mostly hype.’ I say it all the time. My bet above was to compare this bourbon at whatever list price is to more commonly available bourbons at the same price.

One solution, especially after the 3rd or 4th, is to use your hands to pin the base of the glass to the table, which is probably spinning and unsteady. Then use your sonar to maneuver your mouth to the rim of the glass. After three or four attempts, you will get the hang of it. Then simply slurp, lap, and sip until you have consumed the beverage, clearing the way for the next round. I hope this helps.

1. Yes, if made from raw iron, which they are not.
2. I also saw double glass insulated cocktail glasses but they are bulkier.
Personally, if I really felt the need for them, I would go for the metal ones. We pre-chill our martini glasses in the freezer and it doesn't take us forever to finish enjoying them.

Driving back from my favorite local cigar store last week, my eyes caught the spare 12V outlet just to the right of the radio and it occurred to me that it would accommodate a wine cork. This was confirmed shortly after arriving home. (No, I did not open and consume a full bottle of wine for the cork, and anyway, shut up...)
Next, I removed the smart phone bracket from the selfie stick by unscrewing the locking collar from the stick's ball joint. The collar was narrower than the cork, but a bit of whittling from a sharp knife solved that issue. I slipped the bracket socket over cork and a couple turns of the locking collar secured it firmly to the cork.

The stem is there for temperature management of the drink. Gripping the stem allows you to drink without your skin temperature warming up the martini. Otherwise, in order to have a properly cold martini you would be tempted to gulp it down like an uncivilized savage.

We had a freak snowstorm in Seattle on Friday.
Took all the weatherguessers by surprise. So, kids went to school, the store weren’t mobbed and the shelves emptied. There was no Panic! At the Disco! No chains on the buses. Everyone just said “oh wow! This is cool!” And continued on with life.

Southern CA has a serious heat wave. Had two days of Santa Ana already, then two days off. Starting Monday, we get at least a week more.
In San Diego it's no picnic, but Los Angeles is going to be worse. LA will have temperatures of 100 F or more, strong winds, and a city government that's apparently committed to burning everybody out.

Two ounces of vodka-I like Costco's French imported-with a splash of a less peaty scotch, like Glenmorangie. By a splash I mean less than 1/8 of an ounce. I never measure. Stir the vodka with ice and pour into a glass before you add the scotch. Then add the olives. Not sure if the scotch "floats". It adds a taste but does not overwhelm the vodka.

Becoming An American, Or Even Entering The Country Is Not A Right...It Should Be A Rare Privilege
That headline should not be controversial. In fact it should be axiomatic. For most of our history our immigration policy was to allow almost unfettered immigration with a few restrictions. Criminals, the ill and infirm, and then in the 20th century, illiterates, were not allowed into America. After World War I the immigration restrictions recognized country of origin, with the goal of keeping the ethnic character of the country about the same.
And that wasn't all! There were political restrictions created by the various immigration acts of the first part of the century after the assassination of William McKinley, trying to keep out the budding revolutionary fervor in Europe. Anarchists, socialists, simple political radicalism...all were restricted. In fact, America deported immigrants who espoused overt anti-American beliefs. But in 1990, that changed. The immigration act of that year removed most ideological restrictions, in favor of "security restrictions." And who? The usual suspects! The ACLU and other civil rights organizations, academia, and the left in Congress all agitated for relaxing political restrictions. Why is just as easily answered; keeping the post-Cold War leftists out of America was deemed to be "un-American," and in violation of our free speech rights and other civil liberties. Left unanswered was why foreigners should be afforded the rights protected by the United States Constitution! Conspicuously absent was any recognition of Islam as a malign force whose sole objective was the subjugation of the world and the creation of a global caliphate. That sounds like a security risk as well as a political risk! Naturalized but radicalized: Recent terror attacks expose glaring problems with citizenship vettingAs many increasingly argue that the U.S. immigration system is too lenient, four incidents in less than two weeks are being investigated or classified as terrorist attacks linked to Islamist extremism. Most of the alleged perpetrators are naturalized U.S. citizens. Throughout history, we have expected people who immigrated here to become assimilated to the American culture. And I think over the last 30 years or so, there's been this idea that we no longer need to do that, and this is an example of the consequences of those kinds of bad policies," Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., told Just The News. "We need to be more nimble when things are changing on the world stage, in the geopolitical realm. We need to be able to say, 'Now, wait a minute, maybe for right now, in light of the fact that we've got a war in the Middle East where we're attempting to take out the state sponsor of terrorism and free the world from the stranglehold that they've had for 47 years, should we maybe be reconsidering what we're doing in terms of bringing people into this country?'"
With all due respect (that means no respect at all, unless it is earned), we should not be "more nimble." The goal of American immigration policy should be the protection of our way of life, without any acceptance of gray areas in potential immigrants' politics or world view or adherence to a revolutionary political philosophy that use an ersatz religion to control its believers...otherwise known as Islam. The core of Islam is the creation of a world government that is antithetical to 250 years of American Exceptionalism, 2,500 years of Western culture, 2,000 years of Christianity, at least 2,000 years of Hinduism, 2,400 years of Buddhism, and 2,800 years of Judaism. It aims to achieve that through violence, and has been remarkably consistent in its application of violence for its entire history. If Western governments cannot recognize the existential risk of Islam being treated as just another religion, then all is lost. The United Kingdom is almost certainly lost already, with only the faint glimmer of hope in the Reform Party and Restore Britain Party. France is in similar straits, with its National Rally Party being actively targeted with lawfare by the ruling parties. And...sadly, Islam is not the only existential issue. The majority of the world has no concept of personal freedom and individual autonomy. They are comfortable with authoritarian governments, with the rule of law being an afterthought, with tribalism being the primary driver of social and economic behavior. It is incumbent on America to reject those attitudes and return to a rational immigration policy that raises to the pinnacle a desire to become American, with all that entails. Immigration law should be a hammer, and if deserving immigrants are denied entry, we will survive. But if the default decision is admission, we will be destroyed.

There is precedence for doing exactly that. The 1924 immigration act set quotas, banned immigration from certain places and made english language skills testing mandatory. johnson and his "great society" plan ended that and opened the flood gates of pretty much unlimited immigration again.
Unfortunately there is no way that is ever going to happen again.

The 1965 Immigration Act opened the borders, and my guess is that the political restrictions were often ignored. But they were on the books until 1990.

It's the same shortsightedness, too.
Post-World War 1, experts said the industrial revolution was going to eliminate 90% of jobs and usher in workable socialism. Western Europe deliberately took their eyes off the ball to pursue that and we all see where they ended up. The US (and most of eastern Asia) did not. We were thus open to the fact that while jobs were eliminated by mechanization and automation, many new kinds of companies and jobs appeared as a result. That cycle repeated with computers in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, the Internet in the 1990s and 2000s, and AI will likely go the same way.

As John Adams said: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
I think the moral side of that statement is key.
Any religion that does not have a core component of morality is not compatible with a multicultural nation. Indiscriminate immigration turns the notion of a melting pot into not a mixed salad, rather into a garbage pail.

One of the dudes owns them and keeps them in a stable out in the country. He brought them to town knowing that an anti-regime crowd was to be there as a counter to the pro-regime vigil that was to happen that evening.
(That was after he said he brought the horses to town simply to get them trained to be in a city environment).
He claims is "neutral" but had "friends" attending the vigil and wanted to protect that group against the anti-regime crowd.

Freshman year of college -- fall of 1979 -- and one of my dorm's "suite mates" became one of my best friends (great guy, and later great American).
He was an Armenian from Iran, and his family had gotten out before things went sideways.
We were at a small liberal arts college in SoCal known for our prowess in athletics (he was a good soccer player, me in football). Anywho, he was occasionally physically threatened by other students (usually redneck-types) after our Embassy was taken hostage; me and a couple of my buddies had to surround and protect him on some occasions from a mob of ignoramuses (ignorami?).
Things finally settled down the following year after the election of Reagan ... and eventual freeing of the hostages.

Smiths other book The Theory of Moral Sentiments (7 years before Wealth) he states ‘How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it.’
He does make clear that this is a core idea in Western Civilization and Democracies. He had, my guess, already started to think about wealth, and prosperity, and freedoms (to pursue work that provides that) needed to build a good society.

- Belief in personal responsibility and accountability
- Belief in Personal Freedom. Freedom from government coercion.
- Belief in Free Markets. Capitalism is nothing more than individuals freely choosing what to buy rather than a central power deciding what they should buy (e.g. curly light bulbs)

Our strength is because of our Unity, not our diversity. The diversity is a given, unlike most of the rest of the world. America is one of the few places on earth where you can become and be accepted as an American no matter where you come from. All you have to do is accept the tenets above. That doesn't happen anywhere else. You can move to France or Germany or China but you will never be accepted as a Frenchman, a German or a Chinaman.
That is the unique beauty of America and it is something to be cherished and appreciated and defended.

From a quick initial search I'm leaning towards proton and maybe tuta as well, yes two accounts because it might be good to have one as a backup / spam bucket. I know some Morons have proton but does anyone else use tuta? I never heard of it until today.

Coming out of Israel Kan TV channel:
Kan News: Deep divisions inside Iran’s leadership over ending the war. Some officials are reportedly pushing toward a deal, while the IRGC is driving a far more hardline, pro-war stance.
Sources say decision-making behind the scenes is increasingly chaotic, with no clear authority since Ali Khamenei’s death and Mojtaba Khamenei’s influence still uncertain, especially after his reported injury.

They have traditionally pointed to incidents in WW2 where Jewish refugees were refused asylum, ignoring the fact that the American government greatly expanded Jewish immigration during that time frame, expanding quotas in light of the persecution of Jews in Europe.
However, pointing this out is seen as anti-Semitic, and generally leads to the banning of commenters that mention it.

The Hart-Cellar Act in 1965 (pushed by Teddy Kennedy) is a prime example with regards to immigration.

Book Thread: (03/15/2026) [JTB]
Welcome to my attempt at a thread on AOSHQ. CBD asked if I would be willing to try a couple of book threads and that got me thinking. The Horde is so varied and interesting in their reading habits. This is a chance to ask a few questions about reading that intrigue me. So here goes.
Sorry the man, to my mind, who has not in his own home a place to be all by himself, to pay his court privately to himself, to hide.-- Michel de Montaigne Was this the first man cave? The idea is certainly pleasant and one I've sought most of my life. What would you include in your reading space? (BTW, it probably helped to be a wealthy 16th century French aristocrat to make a place like that.) I've always liked this painting, 'The Bookworm' by Carl Spitzweg, circa 1850. This could be me, except I don't like ladders. It's so typical that reading one book makes me dig out five others.
WARNING: A lot of single and double quote marks have been used in this segment.
There's a book coming out in March, "The Real Shakespeare" by Irene Coslet. She 'proves' that Shakespeare was actually a Jewish woman of north African descent living in Venice (Italy not California). The book blurb on Amazon says "Generations of researchers have tried to dismantle the myth of the Stratford man. Now, in this intriguing and well-documented book, Irene Coslet conclusively demonstrates that Shakespeare was a not a man, but a woman: a dark-skinned lady, of Jewish origin, born into a family of Court musicians from Venice" One review describes Coslet as a "feminist historian" who claims that the true author (authoress?) is Emilia Bassano and this 'fact' was buried under "western-centric ideology". The examples of her proof mentioned in reviews make "Chariots of the Gods" look like hard science. Bassano, later Emilia Lanier after marrying an Englishman, may well have been a remarkable woman. So are many of the Ettes in the Horde. Doesn't mean they wrote Hamlet or Macbeth. This level of 'woke' is both tiresome and irritating. And the publisher has the brass-plated gall to charge $36.95 for this 200 page screed. I assume, and hope, it will be remaindered in record time. I find the arguments about who wrote Shakespeare to be intellectual (maybe) curiosity and speculation. Or masturbation. (I suspect some is just academic snobbery.) Because even if it wasn't a glove maker's son turned actor, the plays and sonnets still exist and their perceptions, glorious words, and emotional connections with humanity have continued for four centuries. Feel free to disagree. Is there any one book that made you a life long reader? For me it was Treasure Island with the Wyeth illustrations. I think I was in second grade and kept a dictionary at hand to deal with the many new words. The challenge and difficulty were part of the attraction. It was the first time I realized how words alone could paint a picture in my head and then come to life. A first step into true book nerdom. I'm noticing more articles and YT videos about how physical media, books, DVDs, CDs and so forth are increasingly popular as an alternative to streaming and digital everything. The stories point to increased sales, the success of the revitalized Barnes and Noble stores, and a general preference to own (and control) the materials. These stories appeal to me partly because I didn't grow up with digital versions, which didn't exist, and partly because I don't trust the 'gatekeepers' of the digital world. I don't know if they are true or just a continuation of LPs are better than CDs attitude. Anyone else noticed this one way or another? What I've been reading: LOTR (of course) -my 60th annual rereading. The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition, Volume I: The Ancient World and Christendom - usually a few pages at a time since the topics lead to endless rabbit holes. But too interesting to abandon for long. Luis Melendez: Master of the Spanish Still Life - His still life paintings are so well done and appealing. I can get lost studying one image and reading about how he achieved it. I find looking at the works of painters I admire to be soothing and a welcome distraction from all the crap news that tries to bury us. Books I've acquired just because they appear to be fun reads to have on hand. I often learned about these books from the book thread. Route 66 A. D.: On The Trail of Ancient Roman Tourists by Tony Perrottet Poplollies and Bellibones: A Celebration of Lost Words by Susan Kelz Sperling The Adventures of Tom Bombadil edited by Christina Scull and Wayne Hammond - This is an expanded version of the mid-60s edition. I had that but it disintegrated from use so I splurged. Hope everyone has a great week of reading.Comments

Switch the marbles for an assortment of people vying to find a missing gold statuette, and the tray for the Greater New York area, and you have "Dancing Aztecs" by Donald Westlake. This is a funny, tricky, and absolutely satisfying book.
I thought I had spoiled the story when I was flipping through the book to see how many pages it contained, but fortunately that wasn't the case.
Westlake holds that NYC casts magic over people. Maybe in the '70s, but now? I think he would cry.
************
Somebody posted last week that eBay has bargains for book hunters. I agree. I just picked up a lot of 10 Westlake hardbacks for less than $10 each. So much for THAT New Year's resolution.

One question…does Welsh have any say in how his books are marketed? “Porno”, “Filth”, “Skagboys” and others have the least appealing cover art possible, designed to repel not attract readers. Hilarious books but jeez, reading them out in the general population does tend to scare off others.

Mr. Wagher's Parallel Multiverse was created by a having a botched time travel experiment in the 24th century randomly toss people across time and dimensions, so they wind up in alternate timelines and get to cope with their new circumstances. It sounds dumb when you say it out loud, but it results in some pretty good page-turning adventure stories.

But people have been arguing about the identity of Shakespeare since the middle of the 18th century. It started out as somewhat of an obscurantist pastime, devolved into a parlor game and now, IMO, is a truly dangerous pursuit seeking to erase the achievement of a white, Christian, heterosexual man in favor of the current woke category of the oppressed.

I also re-read the rules for GDW's Persian Gulf game from 1986. Still haven't worked up the energy to play it, but the maps are laid out. I had the first two games in the Third World War series and they got lots of use back in the day. I picked this up a few years ago when Iraq had wound down and these were going cheap. There are fancy reprints with updated graphics which I hate. Give me basic 80s graphics.
Bedtime reading is of course Unfinished Tales, my go-to book to help me sleep. I read "Of Tuor and His Coming to Gondolin."

Per my post and Bryce's comment 14 about RLS and Wyeth illustrations. A few years ago Abbeville Press released a gorgeous slip case edition of Treasure Island and Kidnapped with the Wyeth illustrations. I lusted for it but figured I already have decent copies. Finally gave in to the temptation and glad I did. Clothbound hard covers, sturdy case, excellent binding and paper quality and print size. And the illustrations are beautifully printed. Books that are a pleasure to hold while reading enhance the whole experience.

One can definitely trace a line of influence from Dorsai! to Lois McMaster Bujold's books about Miles Vorkosigan. I wonder if Bujold read about Dickson's protagonist Donal Graeme and wondered "how would people _really_ react to someone who is always insufferably right about everything -- and what if he wasn't always right after all?"

Much of academia is Gnostic. They no longer use facts and evidence but instead proclaim deeper, intuitive mysteries that pervious scholars were unable to access because of their sex or skin color.
The old stereotype was a bunch of nerds arguing in Latin about Vergil vs Homer, but now it's just impenetrable largely made-up jargon that is meaningless in the real world. I would argue that this is partly why they are so comfortable with chaos around them - their minds are already full of it.

FBI agent Carrie Swanson is assigned to investigate, and finds that the remains are female and only a few years old. As they delve into the case, the pair find that the dead woman was a former archeology student, and that her professor had been taking his students into this area on several occasions, and more than one of them is missing. While they investigate, another former student is found alive in the desert, holding lightning stones and trying to reach a remote outcrop.
What they reveal is that an ancient tribe known as the Gallina lived in the region and were believed to be sorcerers by the other tribes. The Gallina used lightning stones in their rituals to summon their spiritual warriors. The indians of the Chaco valley exterminated the Gallina tribe hundreds of years ago. Has the old magic resurrected this tribe?

This got me thinking about Trump and Roosevelt and how many parallels in life they share.
They were both second sons born to iconic NY families.
Both became heir apparent to their families fortune and titles when the first born in each case succumbed to alcoholism.
They both ran for President as outsiders in their own parties
They were both targets of DC "insiders" trying to protect their grift
They both (miraculously) survived assassination attempts during primary speeches. (Roosevelt was saved when his folded over speech in his breast pocket stopped the bullet. Teddy finished his speech in a blood stained shirt.)
I'm sure there is more, butI find this interesting.

Over Christmas break in 1990, we linked Battle for Germany and Southern Front together and because the Wall had just fallen, we made the Pact start in Poland. We did it with teams: three NATO commanders, two for the Pact. I was in charge of the Central Front. It went poorly, because of the ticking clock you referenced. My opposite number was giddy because he was able to stop me on the "old" frontier almost across the line.
However, he had overlooked the fact that I had quietly shifted all of my airmobile units and a bunch of my best aircraft to the Balkans, and my colleague was tearing things up, forcing the Bosporus and penetrating into northern Italy. The game was technically a draw, but I loved the idea of Russians in Milan.
We set up a ladder over the middle of the table so that people could take a moment to view the "satellite picture" of the entire front, which was epic. Later on I did a Yugoslav Devolution scenario using Southern Front counters.

I don't say man cave because first of all, it sounds both juvenile and homosexual to me, and secondly because it's not that. Anyone is free to come in whenever I please, and I even set up a separate, good workstation for the wife and kids.
But the fact is, wives and children aren't too interested in sitting at a computer, and they don't often have to, so they rarely do. And the room is very clearly for grown men, with bookshelves and firearms and masculine art all over the place. Chicks and kids have a natural aversion to great stuff like that.
My youngest does go out there frequently because she looooves her daddy, but that's why I put a TV in there - I anticipated that so I installed that, and I keep some blankets and toys for her on the couch.
But when I say I need to be left alone in there to concentrate or just relax for a couple hours, that is generally respected. And the door locks, if it ever isn't, for some reason.

The one that turned me to the true mystery would probably be the Roy Rogers novel Ghost of Mystery Rancho from the late Forties. Roy, a young Texas Ranger, battles and tries to uncover the identity of a murderous bandit who wears a skeleton costume and mask, so that no one, even his men, knows who he is. Reading it again a few years ago, I was struck by its narrative speed and energy, and the neatly-concealed solution to the mystery.

Being a fan of mechanical timepieces, it is fascinating to see how watchmakers going back two hundred years developed what are called complications. Complications were mechanical means to add features such as dates and moon phases to timepieces. There were some incredibly complicated features that were made to watches and clocks many years ago.

On a lark I checked with my library and found it available via audiobook on the Libby app. It was five hours long and I listened to it mostly while commuting.
I would give it a rating of 6.5 out of 10.
I had to install a vulgarity filter and it was necessary to clean said filter at least twice in the first half of the book. After about the first hour he seemed to leave the four letter words behind stay focused on the pop psychology self-help message.
He reinforced a lot of principles I've already embraced from another author I much prefer: John Eldredge, who comes from a much different world view.
I'm not sorry I listened to it, but wouldn't do so again.

Lets think about the other types of crime the Hardy Boys could stop. Sex traffic and prostitution? Murder-for-hire? Drug dealers? Child molesters? Pornographers? All taboo subjects, so it had to be smugglers.
Having the Hardy Boys go undercover as jazz musicians to bust up a heroin ring would be cool, though. Especially the part where they wear blackface so they can join the band.

Michell himself is an interesting writer, described as 'an esotericist who was a prominent figure in the Earth mysteries movement.' Besides the Bard book, I also recommend his Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions (a fave of Eris).

This reminds me of a YouTube trend that the algorithm has deemed necessary for my viewing of a little child facing the corner in a time-out with the dog standing dutifully next to him. Mommy asks the child why they are in time-out, then asks why the dog is also there, and the child explains how the puppy was an accomplice. A typical example:

Lets think about the other types of crime the Hardy Boys could stop. Sex traffic and prostitution? Murder-for-hire? Drug dealers? Child molesters? Pornographers? All taboo subjects, so it had to be smugglers.
Having the Hardy Boys go undercover as jazz musicians to bust up a heroin ring would be cool, though. Especially the part where they wear blackface so they can join the band.

I haven't reread it recently, but I believe David McDaniel's last and unpublished Man From U.N.C.L.E. novel, The Final Affair, mentions Frank and Joe's father, private detective Fenton Hardy!
McDaniel loved doing that. In the same book he mentions Saul Panzer from the Nero Wolfe series; and in an earlier work he has Solo mention Rusterman's restaurant, the one Wolfe's oldest friend Marko Vukcic established in NYC.

I've been on a Lawrence Block binge lately. Specifically, continuing with the Matthew Scudder series. Currently reading "A Dance at the Slaughterhouse," which is quite dark. Subject matter is pederasty and snuff porn, and law looking the other way. I'm near the end, and it looks like Scudder is going to mete out the justice himself.
I digress. One of the thinks I love about Block is how he weaves his story using casual conversation and banter. Just pulls me in, as if I'm sitting at the table listening to him tell his stories with his friends.

Since they were older -- college age, right? -- and had cars, I found them much more interesting (for a while) than reading about kids my age then (9-10). I always identified with adults in fiction more than I did with kids. Even Heinlein's hero in Have Space Suit -- Will Travel was a high school boy. And I certainly loved reading about Sherlock Holmes (not only not a kid, but not even of my country or century) and James Bond.

There are two more books in the series, which I will not be buying. Indeed, there are older, out-of-print books that only collected half of the material that was in the book I have, and I wish I had that smaller collection. It would have kept a lot of sub-par material off of my shelf.

The short was included in the anthology The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, featuring stories from the days before Nebula Awards existed, voted as HOF-worthy. Heinlein's "The Roads Must Roll" is in there, along with Bradbury's "Mars is Heaven!", Blish's "Surface Tension," and Asimov's "Nightfall." Vols. 2 and 3 contained novellas.

Notably, although most of my ebook purchases come through Amazon, I bought this book from Barnes and Noble. Because B&N had the price just as low, because I want there to be a viable alternative to Amazon, and because my Nook Glowlight 4 is a better device than my (admittedly old) Kindle Paperwhite. The Glowlight has some physical button on the side of the device that turn pages, rather than just relying on the touchscreen. It's a small detail, but it dramatically improves the reading experience.

I recently learned of a new one: "Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, a Prose Rendering: A Text-Faithful Translation of the 1590s Epic Poem". Haven't had the chance to start reading it yet but it is a beautiful three volume, slipcase edition. Again, quality binding and paper, wonderful original illustrations (think Alan Lee LOTR quality), and a pleasure to hold. I start reading it this week and plan to have a copy of the poem from Penguin Classics at hand to compare. A completely nerdy thing to do, but 'mine own'.

Within the first few pages of Advance Britannia, Churchill's advisers and cabinet are fretting that the entry of the US into the war will render England either a satrapy of the USSR or an American-owned protectorate.
They were also concerned about Japan attacking the US, because it necessarily meant any American aid would be siphoned off to wage war in the Pacific and render the European conflict a longer, bloodier one.

I've always been a reader. I know I started with Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames, Nurse but then it was anything and everything. History, fantasy, classics. Later I discovered romance novels. I like most of you I only vaguely remember most of them. They have to make a huge impact like Tolkien, Heinlein, recently Sanderson and yes, Shakespeare.

To me the interest remains in the later stories, because the unspoken suspense there is: Will Matt go back to drinking? Eventually in the series his sober life settled down, but for the first few books after his time began with AA, there was still that little worry.

Walt Kelly did some wonderful parodies of 1960s ad-man speak ("run it up the flagpole and see who salutes") in a storyline about Howland Owl and Seminole Sam persuading Pogo to run for president (I forget the year; it might have been 1956). He also did a standalone story, The Man From Suffern-on-the Steppes, which had Owl, Albert, Porkypine and Churchy LaFemme as ad-men in the USSR.

When I was twelve, Mom (who worked nights as a private duty nurse) decided my brother, age eight, and I could be left sans babysitter. I don't know if the black woman who'd been watching us had raised her price, or decided she didn't want to work for no white woman watching no white kids (I don't remember much about her at all). But what Mom did was not illegal then. And we were good, responsible kids.

It’s dense with information on how to shoot, and how to build your kit. Wonderful full-page diagrams of bows of various kinds to help you build them. Almost made me want to revisit my decision not to take up archery as a hobby and dump something else instead. I mean, who needs hobo porn, really?

Also enjoyed every book in the Hardy Boys series. I was probably about 10 or so, and at that age, the idea of having a famous detective for a Dad, a great looking gal as a girlfriend, and solving interesting mysteries with a little danger involved in my free time was pretty appealing.
Also, along similar lines I have a full collection of Chip Hilton sports novels. Still read through them every few years or so. I thought it would be awesome to be a superstar athlete in every sport in high school and college and have an athletic complex in my back yard at home.

The reality is that the ill and mis-educated people being turned out today have no reason to study a foreign language unless they plan to live or work in an area they will need to know one. A ditch digger or paperpusher won't interact much with people of the world, unless their area has been overrun with foreigners that the politicians bend over for. I can see the case for eliminating that requirement.

In my case, a page of French. I've never really had the patience to sit down with a book and a foreign language dictionary and start reading. Think I remember references from Henry Miller and a couple more of the expats learning some French that way. There are a number of untranslated Simenons or translated books that have been out of print for years.
Just for giggles, I pulled a copy of one in French from one of the 'archive' sites and ran it through Google's free translation service. It did the translation in under a minute. Makes interesting reading. You can follow the story, mostly, but some of the translation is pretty awkward (Simenon is seldom awkward) and it's almost like the translation software has been told not to use masculine pronouns too heavily, so the he and she references don't always match up as they should which throws you out of the story for a minute.
Anyone else tried this? How'd it go?

I have an owner's manual in Spanish for the Mercedes W123 coupe model of the 1980s. With my background in Spanish -- I studied it from high school into college -- and my knowledge of that car model and cars in general, I've often thought it would be a fun project to sit down and write out a translation. Though I would still need a dictionary.

Reading "The Boxcar Children" left a real impression on young me. It was the first time I encountered a retcon/reboot/corporate interreference in a series. I read the series from the beginning, and saw the characters grow up and mature. The original teenage-protagonists became adults and aged-out of the story, and the pre-teen tag-along kids aged into teenagers and became the new teenage-protagonists. But then, all of a sudden, new books came out that took place in the past, with the original protagonists de-aged and without any of the growing up they had gone through.
I don't remember if the later stories were bad or anything, I just remember being shocked by their appearance.

Both. My parents were never really worried about me as I always had my nose in a book. But there are things most kids learn in grade and high school about dealing with peers and dating etc that I didn't really pick up on until college. Wouldn't relive my freshman and sophomore years for anything.

Spanish is the default "foreign language" at what will be my daughter's high school. I took four years of Spanish at that high school... and never used it, despite living in Texas for three years. The dirty little secret that no one wants to acknowledge is that the masses that came over the border in the last ten years were illiterate peasants and gangbangers. We refuse to make our daughter learn a useless language.

I love reading about possible casting choices for roles we think of as iconic and inevitable.
For Leia, Lucas wanted 13-year-old Jodie Foster but she was signed on to make "Freaky Friday". 14-year-old Terri Nunn, soon to be lead vocalist of Berlin, was also being considered. Ultimately it was down to future Randy Andy paramour Koo Stark and Carrie Fisher.
Fox wanted Al Pacino to play Han Solo (!!!!!). Christopher Walken was also in the running.
Mark Hammel riffed off Harrison Ford the best but Lucas still wanted to hire an unknown for Han Solo, and Ford had been in "American Graffiti".
The celebrity following the movie's release was swift and dramatic. "Months earlier, Ford had been a stoner-carpenter dad who could barely get an acting job. Michelle Phillips, of the mamas & Papas, went to see Star Wars anwd leapt out of her seat when Han Solo appeared on screen.
"That's my pot dealer!" She yelled out.

This sounds, too, very much like sitcoms of the '50s and '60s, where misunderstandings, sometimes willful, drive the plot -- and one person simply asking a crucial question would explode it all.
Shakespeare used the "girl pretends to be a boy" plot in other plays too, like Twelfth Night. It helped that only male actors were allowed on stage then, so a male actor playing a girl character could easily pose as male.

It is a really interesting concept. The main character walks through a labyrinth goes through a gate and ends up in three different places. He has become Synchronus, split into 3, in order to prevent a cataclysm which has happened before over the centuries. He has to find the Evil one who causes this and do away with him.
He has different strengths and weaknesses in each of the three places. Each society has some of the original but also different dangers. He has a guide in each place to help but needs to figure out his task.
Like the first book, completely unique in concept. Highly recommended even though I'm not done.

It offers more Middle-Earth related poems as well as the original ones and commentary about them. It still uses the Pauline Baynes illustrations from the 1963 edition which I also have.

To a geologist, the above makes no sense. "Prasiolite" is a tem for a green-tinted variety of quartz crystals, sold as a gem. Most of the "prasiolite" in the marketplace is Brazilian amethyst, turned green by heat treatment or irradiation.
Lightning stones are septarian nodules from Michigan. No quartz in them.

Try Deepl.com.
It does Spanish and French pretty well -- though a bit awkward with some phrasings and slang.

Memoirs of Jeremiah Curtin
[...] "Curtin’s later career included significant work with the Bureau of American Ethnology (1883–1891), where he documented Native American languages and pre-Christian origin story mythologies."
Curtin also gained fame for translating Polish literature, notably Henryk Sienkiewicz’s Quo Vadis and The Trilogy.

Meanwhile, I have literally hundreds of others, counting Kindle binge-buys from the early days of their high-quality monthly sales, waiting to be read or re-read. (If I hadn't been forced to downsize my life a few years back, there would be some three thousand. And hell yeah, I still haven't gotten over that. Reference library, rare books, books whose contents I could recall just by looking at the covers... those of you who mention getting rid of your too-big libraries, think really hard before you do it.)
The Book Thread is my favorite, yet it seems to be the hardest one for me to join in real time. Maybe I had better make my sleeping-in day Saturday instead of Sunday!

If you develop an interest in that WSS and other wars in the late 17th and early 18th Centuries, Helion & Company have some books on the WSS (like Marlbourgh's war in the Iberian Peninsula) and Louis 14th's other wars.

For those who are intrigued by Spenser or his book, but have trouble with the original, you might take a look at the new version. The title is "Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, a Prose Rendering: A Text-Faithful Translation of the 1590s Epic Poem" by Rebecca Reynolds as author/translater. It's available from Amazon for about $75, and through other outlets. You might be able to buy from the publisher, Sky Turtle Press, but I couldn't find any links to do so in a brief search.

Thanks for the info. I've been intrigued by Spenser's The Faerie Queene ever since my professor pointed out a copy in the Bancroft Library at U.C. Berkeley. I was taking a History of Science class and we were there to see a book belonging to Isaac Newton with his notes in the margin as well as some of the editions of Galileo that got him into trouble.

I have been interested in reading that, and perhaps Volume II because that covers the Western tradition to the present day.

For those who might fear the new prose edition of "The Faerie Queene" might be a woke version of the original (particularly considering the significant moral and religious themes of the original), I saw nothing from Ms. Reynolds during the kickstarter campaign or after to suggest that possibility, and what I've read so far in the book also doesn't seem to be following a woke path.
Also, Ms. Reynolds and Malcolm Guite seem, at the very least, to be professional friends who share common interests in literature, poetry, and themes of faith and "Faerie" (almost a direct quote from Google AI for what it's worth). Guite encouraged Reynolds' "Fairie Queene" project, and has commented favorable on the finished work. Reynolds posted a bit on the kickstarter pages regarding her connections with Guite, but I can't find the specific posts I remember (honestly, the only reason I remember them at all is because some of the posters here have favorably mentioned Guite) and don't remember specifics. Anyway, from all I've read about him I doubt Guite would recommend a subversive version of Spenser's book.

The stuff buried in library stacks and cold storage can be fascinating, and imagine what you might find if you could dig through older European libraries.
Like your Newton's notes, a historian, I think it was Geoffrey Parker, once mentioned finding in the Spanish Archives reports to King Philip II of Spain from his Viceroys in the Americas; those reports were the originals of the reports and still had annotations in Philip's own hand that were used to prepare the King's formal responses to those reports.
I hope that academic librarians in Europe and the Americas are taking care to preserve and copy those old records, but I'm not confident anyone is actually working on that rather than advancing the SJW cause. Otherwise lots of history will be lost.
I've done a bit of research into the history of the British Raj and the various princely states and Presidencies. Some records are available and can be quite detailed (for example, the pay records for the Sikh army for selected years in the 1830s and 40s are available), but lots of records from Ranjet Singh's Sikh Empire in the Punjab appear to have disappeared during and after the partition of India and Pakistan.

Who knew:
I recommend "Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare: A Guide to Understanding and Enjoying the Works of Shakespeare," as a great guide to the plays and the period's culture, language and knowledge history (whether accurate or not, his history of Richard III is very Tudor influenced) that assist in understanding Shakespeare. There are, however, three problems with the Asimov book: 1. IIRC, it doesn't cover all of his plays, 2. It doesn't contain the full text of the plays, it merely quotes the specific text form the play that Asimov will be explaining, so an inexpensive complete edition of Shakespeare's play would provide context to the parts quoted in Asimov's book, 3. Asimov sometimes fails to distinguish his opinions from actual facts. It was first published yonks ago, but has been reprinted several times since and good quality used or even new additions are easily available.

BTW, if if you want to see his plays performed, in addition to the usual Branagh and the like, I'd recommend two different and unusual choices:
#1. The BBC filmed the Lancaster/York historical plays under the overall title of "The Hollow Crown as two sets. The first has Richard II & Henry IV, and the second has Henry V, Henry VI, & Richard III (with all parts, i.e. Henry VI, for example, was written in two parts). I have watched all but Richard III and highly recommend them-I haven't watched Richard III yet because Richard/Glouster is played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the series and he chewed the scenery so much as Glouster in earlier play that I will have to screw my courage to the sticking place in order to watch him in Richard.
#2. The very silly version of Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" starring The Flying Karamazov Brothers, Avner the Excentric and a host of others. The play's two pairs of twin brothers are played by Karamazovs, with much juggling and silliness. Broadcast by PBS,it was unavailable except for bootlegs. It's now available on two or more ewetube channels-search for Flying Karamazov Comedy of Errors.
