As the Likely All-Time Star Wars Box Office Failure Mandalorian and Grogu Is Set to Bomb on May 22, Lunatic Abortion-Thirsty Former Celebrity Mark Hamill Publicly Prays for the Death of the President
As always: the subhed is Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
Mark Hamill appeared in the TV show the film is based on -- well, he didn't "appear," a de-aged CGI double of him "appeared," one that doesn't look like a wad of chewed gum covered in a homeless man's beard-hairs -- and it's very likely this assassination-wishing communist death-cultist will appear in the Disney Groomer Organization's new disaster. They calculated that this would stoke audience interest. So now this lunatic does this, and the same Groomer corporation who fired and defamed Gina Carano for saying her pronouns were "beep/boop" stands behind their assassination prepper.
Julia 🇺🇸
@Jules31415 3h Mark Hamill knows exactly what he's doing. If you read the comments in the Bluesky thread, it's inspiring many mentally ill individuals to fantasize about this scenario--and even call for it. I've even had leftists calling for it in my thread this morning. Sick--and in some cases, potentially criminal. Our country is in real trouble.
🚨 NOW: The White House is EVISCERATING deranged Mark Hamill for openly egging on the death of President Trump

The SAME Mark Hamill that Barack Hussein Obama just welcomed to his trash can library in Chicago
THEY WANT 47 TO BE KlLLED.

John Kass asks the question many of us have been asking ourselves: What if Republicans began agitating for the murder of Barack Obama like Barack Obama's cultists agitate for the murder of Trump?
These questions are no longer hypothetical, like they used to be. We're tired of playing by different rules. If the real rules supported by the Democrat-Media Complex say that it is understandable and even noble to agitate a movement's more excitable members to kill people the movement doesn't like, the countdown to the Republican embrace of this rule is officially ticking down. John Kass, continued:
The Democrats responded to the assassination attempts by scoffing, smirking, laughing, protected and supported by legacy corporate media, and accusing Trump of staging the attempts on his own life. But none dared stand up to the rabid left that has tried to take Trump's life and threatened the lives of other Republicans, from Republicans in Congress shot by an angry leftist at a baseball practice, to conservatives on the Supreme Court. And I wondered: What would happen if Obama's life had been repeatedly threatened with assassins failing three times in a matter of months and Republicans called Obama a fascist What if conservatives appear on late night TV talk shows to mock Michelle Obama the way ABC's Jimmy Kimmel tastelessly mocked First Lady Melania Trump, and dared say Michelle was "glowing like an expectant widow?" How long would he have a show? Don't think of it as some parlor game. Think of it happening right now, for real. Would Kimmel keep his $16 million salary and perks if he mocked Michelle? Would the blue cities burn at the hands of angry blacks as the cities burned during the Democrat "Summer of Love in 2020 when the left turned the violent drug-addicted thug George Floyd into a saint? The broken legacy media won't address this and or dare challenge their rabid leftist subscriber base. I don't see the Chicago Tribune and the rest of Chicago media demanding that Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker shut his Ozempically skinny lips and insist he stop inciting assassination by repeatedly screaming lies that Trump is a Nazi and Fascist? I'm sure you can outline the issue. Three assassination attempts and they will continue because the hard left demands it.
As Jimmy Kimmel basks in all the attention he's getting, has anyone had the good manners to think of Tuffy Gessling? You've forgotten Tuffy? He's the Missouri rodeo clown banned for life for mocking Obama, daring to ask the crowd if they wanted to see another clown in an Obama mask "get run down" by a bull. Gesseling was forced to march the walk of shame and he was banned. FOR LIFE. And he was a real clown not some buffo from Chicago who had the crooked influence peddler Tony Rezko buy him a Chicago dreamhouse while presenting publicly as some kind of virtuous political reformer. And the great Hank Williams Jr. had an iconic song, one of my favorites, titled Are you ready for some football? It was deleted from Monday Night Football." He called Obama some kind of Hitler. And apparently only white male Republicans can be called the 'h' word, but Obama may never be mocked that way. Never, ever. But ESPN/ABC currently defends Kimmel for his tasteless attacks on The First Lay Melania Trump and the Trump family.

The left has built such an impregnable bubble that they cannot imagine any other viewpoint but their own.
In the 90s, the ration of liberal to conservative professors on campus was about 3 to 1.
Massively lopsided, but with 1/4 of the professorate being conservative, liberals at least were exposed to conservative ideas and had to understand there was a debate.
The ratio is now 9 to 1 and many areas are 100 to 0. The people most harmed by this are the liberals, ironically. They don't realize that they are a minority and start pushing money-losing idea like "the future is female!".

The scariest part of the movie was a nice guy marrying a cheating bitch. His college age daughter was hot. Great hair.

As satisfying as that step will be, it isn't going to make any difference.
The left is a hivemind, and every single one of them is expendable to the cause. Literally any of them can stand up and proclaim the idiocy they feel they must believe in and they'll all fall in line. And they don't have any more sense of self preservation (insofar as understanding consequences goes) than Hamas or the (current) leadership of Iran.

No. He doesn't. He's just a sad, angry, mentally ill decrepit leftist fucksack who is still butthurt that his career was shit even after starring in three of the biggest movies of the 70s and early 80s.
Harrison Ford went on to be one of the biggest stars of the next 20 years.
Carrie Fischer would have had a much bigger career, but she couldn't keep off the drugs.
Hell, even Billy Dee in a small part became the epitome of cool and female attraction in the 1980s. Those Colt 45 commercials? Genius.
But Mark Hamill? His career took a yuge shit. He's still not over it. His endless TDS and ranting screams "look at me, I'm still here, pay attention to me!"

Isnt Mark Hammill a big time Hollywood faggot who needed his anus reconstructed in 1984?
Or was that his face? Probably both.
How did he get the part of Luke anyway? Not many knew back then of the filthy depravity of Hollywood. Bryan Singer probably wasnt around discarding young boys like Mark.
And he sounded so gay in ESB and RTJ, definitely a bit like Rip Taylor and Charles Nelson Reilly.
Rip Taylor, but a Jedi.

Christopher Nolan does seem to be swinging for the Failure Fences with this one, though.
As of May 2026, reports are unconfirmed, but it is heavily rumored that Elliot Page is cast to play the ghost of Achilles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. While Page is confirmed to have joined the film's cast, specific character details remain undisclosed.
Key Details on the Rumor
The Role: The rumor suggests Page will appear as the "ghost of Achilles" (or a shade) rather than the living warrior from The Iliad, fitting the narrative of The Odyssey where Odysseus encounters dead heroes.
I choose to believe it. TBF, there's a difference between Achilles, and the ghost of Achilles.

It's odd because Nolan seems professional and reasonably based, if not in politics than at least in making movies.
Why would Nolan hire (or allow to be hired) a creepy weirdo with serious mental issues who almost surely would be needy and toxic on set?
It's not like there aren't 10 million other actors who would kill for the part.

Ari Shaffir in his recent spot on Joe Rogan pointed out that when he had a comedy series he got told he had to go for diversity, and then the Suits handed him a short list of acceptable minorities the Suits knew so he could hire them.

There was some discussion on here a while back about this phenomenon, and IIRC it's because modern movies are mixed for their eventual release to home audiences, not for theater viewing. Most people don't have true home theaters with big side channel speakers, so they boost everything that is mapped to those to make it audible at home, thus when in a theater that has a proper sound system those channels completely overwhelm everything else.

The interesting example of this is Vance Boelter. The left claims, falsely, he was some right wing terrorist but it appears no one really cared.
Now, there is a problem here too because Boelter claims Walz told him to do it and he killed Walz's primary opponent in the state Dem party.

Shadows was a full-blown "let's do everything we'd normally do for a movie - merchandising, novels, tie-ins, etc. - without actually doing a movie." In hindsight it was a dry-run of the prequel plan in the same way that the Special Editions were dry runs for the kinds of sequences George was planning for those films.
The game is rough to go back to today, but the best thing about it is that it inspired the creation of the Rogue Squadron games. The second one, which is sadly still locked to the GameCube, is one of the greatest Star Wars games of all time.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Investigates Evidence That the "Intelligence" Community Treasonously Covered Up for China's Election Interference So That Neither Trump or Congress Could Do Anything About It
Just the News:
Read the whole thing.
DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show The evidence continues to stack up that the U.S. intel community sought to downplay China's actions in 2020 as Trump sought reelection, perhaps at the cost of legal or ethical rules. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that there was a "false impression that Russia sought to influence the election, but China did not." By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News. The memos indicate Gabbard's team first learned about the evidence -- much of it yet classified -- last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director's Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.
Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020 The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump's candidacy in 2020. The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states' voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged. They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China's malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter -- the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber -- trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter's whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years. The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President's Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.
These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump's 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News. One email in the possession of ODNI allegedly states that an intelligence agency planned to massage one particular presidential briefing document meant for Trump to dodge the mention of election influence concerns despite raw intelligence reporting on the subject. The memos also point to emails showing alleged attempts by certain CIA officials to cover up election influence efforts by China and to push a CIA analyst to change a federal record about an agency meeting where CIA officials purportedly hinted that China-related evidence was being held back to avoid helping Trump in the 2020 race. ... It was revealed last year that a confidential human source told FBI counterintelligence in the summer of 2020 that China's communist government was seeking to meddle in the impending election in an effort to help then-candidate Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was made public.

Shortly after 9/11 a whistle blower from the NSA came forward to say his program had identified that Atta was in the US and engaged in a terrorist operation. He further noted that his concerns were dismissed and his program was shut down.
BUT it wasn't because of his Atta finding. His program had also identified a number of American political leaders were on the Chinese payroll and THAT is what got his program shut down.

The creators of the channels were apparently DUTCH??!!??!! and paid actors to do the videos and they'd post them. But obviously, it's just as easy to get AI to do crap like this.
The CBC seemed most offended about content going against the narrative. As if people are too stupid to watch something and make an intelligent decision. Which leads us into the entire 'War on Disinformation' which I don't care about since I ultimately expect to see a LOT of dead elites.

Can you imagine for one second after being "selected", Bush putting out any kind of order to begin searching Muslims or paying attention to their contacts in other countries because he had a warning? Would the Left say the warning was real or fake? Would they have been calm or exploded in a rage?
We couldn't even do that on 9/12, nor can we even do it now. Because the Left won't let us. IOW they were completely full of shit.

Mark Hamill's recent social media post about President Donald Trump is coming under fire just weeks after a third assassination attempt on the president.
Hamill shared what appears to be an AI-generated photo on his verified BlueSky account, depicting Trump in a flower-surrounded grave, in front of a gravestone that reads, "Donald J. Trump 1946-2024," with the words "If Only" written on the photo.

Two Caveats: (1) there is no Statue of Limitations on Treason under United States federal law (but of course, I can't imagine the GloboHomo Deep State allowing that to be pursued); and (2) active ongoing Cover-Ups of prior crimes in the furtherance of a conspiracy restart the Statue of Limitations clock ticking again and anew (and I hope & pray that the Grand Jury in Florida looking into various parts of the Grand Soft Coup and Stolen Election Conspiracies against President Trump are taking this into consideration -- although likely nothing will happen).

That's crazy if you have a country worth defending. I'm in Canada and my government LOATHES me so obviously my price to sell out my government would be lower. Much lower.

In one of his best evuh, Trump not long ago referred to the corrupt cartoonishly autocratic president-for-life of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, AKA Uncle Sasha, as "the highly respected" president of Belarus. (narrator: nobody not in the hands or sights of the Belarus security services "respects" Uncle Sasha, even nationalistic Russians mock him)
Hilarious. But this was Trump's way of thanking Lukashenko for moving to resolve an issue of Americans in detention. So it was fine.

I know that it's viscerally satisfying to have executions publicly "cruel" (hanging, firing squad, gas chamber, "old sparky", burning at the stake, drawn and quartered, flayed alive, etc, etc, etc) but I view that as counterproductive.
I think that the purpose of execution is to simply remove people who don't deserve to live. Anything which impedes the efficiency of that is a problem, and political and legal obstructions are much enhanced under the cruel and unusual clause of the Constitution. Therefore, the quicker and more painless method will result in more bad guys removal.
Which is why I push for the " small sealed room and a tank.of nitrogen" method. Quick, painless, and, as an extra, cheap.

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Child Predators Working as Staff Around Children on a Disney Cruise Ship
Plus: Seattle's Woke Wallflower Communist Mayor Exceeds Even My High Expectations for Excellence
Well, it is the Disney Groomer Corporation so I understand why they felt they were welcomed to hunt for prey on the ship.
A group of alleged child predators were arrested after they'd been working around children and families aboard a Disney cruise. They were apprehended by the same immigration agents Democrats want to defund. KNSD reported Wednesday that a Disney cruise docked in San Diego after a trip with stops in Ensenada, Baja California, as well as Catalina Island, where federal agents took several employees into custody. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Sandra Grisolia released a statement about the raid: "On April 28, HSI San Diego arrested twenty-three crewmembers from multiple cruise ships at the Port of San Diego as part of Operation Tidal Wave. The arrests targeted individuals suspected of involvement with Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), based on information received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children." "The arrestees were transported to Los Angeles for processing, and their visas were revoked," the ICE spokeswoman continued. The New York Post clarified that it's unclear which other ships from companies outside of Disney may have been involved. Dharmi Mehta, a passenger on a Disney cruise, said that witnessing the arrests was "really unsettling." ... Benjamin Prado from Union del Barrio stated, "This is not an isolated incident," adding, "In fact, it has become a growing pattern, not only here in San Diego but throughout this country.

So the visas were revoked based on suspicion of CSAM, not convictions. Heh, players might think they can mess around in the US legal system indefinitely, but it turns out standards are different for visas.

It's good to see the news media in Seattle somewhat doing their jobs. Maybe they should be told that in Marxist countries the media is very soon after the takeover lined up and shot.

The creatine I was using already. I found milk helps to ... mitigate some of the gastric issues with that. The kefir seems to work as well.
The kefir and matcha I wanted to try because it is supposed to help gut health and there are 'supposed' to be metabolic benefits from the matcha.
I am just trying out a new form factor to make it both simpler and palatable.

We have raves here in Northern AZ. The couples are kind of cute, make interesting mating noises, and are tender with each other. I often see one or more chasing red-tail hawks away from presumably one or more of their nests.
Before we escaped Southern Califzuela, we frequently had groups of loud & obnoxious crows in the neighborhood. They'd sit on the peak of the rooftop of the home across the street continually squawking -- to the point where I started picking up and throwing rocks at them to get them to scatter and leave me in peace.
Anywho, I hope Ace is successful in befriending his because I worry that he's a loner with no friends ... like me. ;-)

The downtown area around the convention center was weird. There wasn't any poop on the sidewalks, and all of the public transit trains were clean and clear of bums.
But more than half of the commercial space was empty and vacant. It had an almost ghost town vibe to it.
Pike Place was the only area that had any kind of vibrancy in a circus flea market type of vibe, and you can tell that the city has dumped a ton of money into the waterfront area around there. Which, I have to say, as far as urban waterfronts are concerned, Seattle's views aren't the best.

Back in the days when voter turnout was 45-50% on a good day, people would moan about how poor it was, when in reality the people were generally satisfied with things. When voter turnout got to 60%, it was because something was on the ballot that annoyed them. Anything above 65% tells you the voters are pissed. The dems can hide behind jungle primaries and vote by mail, but it will eventually catch up with them, and usually in an ugle way.

Have only been to Europe once (to be the Best Man at a dear friend's wedding in Copenhagen) back in '98. We then sailed on a schooner to Sweden (with the objective to make it to Riga, Latvia -- but didn't make it).
Upshot was two noticeable annoyances: (1) the public restrooms were awful, outdoor, and barbaric; and (2) NONE of the payphones at the time (you 29-year-olds probably don't remember those -- and I didn't get my first mobile cell phone until '99) were in working order.

Pike Place was the only area that had any kind of vibrancy in a circus flea market type of vibe, and you can tell that the city has dumped a ton of money into the waterfront area around there. Which, I have to say, as far as urban waterfronts are concerned, Seattle's views aren't the best.
I can't say that I have an overwhelming desire to go back - thats for sure.

Congratulations!
I remember not long after 9/11, on a quick vacation to Catalina Island, walking around alone in the stillness late one night (insomnia) -- and looking for a station to tune into on my portable transistor radio.
I picked up one of the local L.A. talk radio show hosts (likely a rebroadcast from earlier in the day) -- Dennis Prager. A young, recently-married adult male called-in to say that -- although he and his wife wanted to have children -- he was afraid to bring a child into the world at that (traumatic for many) time.
I remember Prager's response: "Bringing a child into the world is the ultimate expression of optimism in the future."

Crows are highly intelligent birds capable of recognizing individual human faces and holding grudges for years, even passing this information to offspring.

Cruise ship crews are as cliquish as a US high school, and they split along lines of departments, job functions, and national origin in addition to individual personalities.
The hotel, food and beverage, and entertainment employees are on six-month to eight-month contracts. They stick to a single line as a rule and generally stick to a single ship over their careers. This results in friendships and interpersonal conflicts that can form over many years of tours.
On the mainstream lines, the ships are all big enough to house large enough crews for problematic gangs to form. The bullshit is the same as we have on land: drugs, prostitution, gambling, and extortion.
Supposedly kickbacks and certification fraud are huge problems for crew from India just like it is in US work visa programs and offshore working arrangements.

Seattle gets earthquakes less often.
However, Mr. Ranier is a symptom of their geological risk, rather than the cause.

I knew some locals who had "season tickets" and did not understand it then or now. I know people in the West who love Disney. I appear to lack the magic gene.
Our musician son worked two summers in the Disney Collegiate Band, which was a great experience for him. I don't think it exists now, but kids from all of the USA competed for a spot and he met many friends he still keeps in contact with. Clinics by professional visiting musicians.
H lived in a dorm for the summer at UCF. Told us of the tunnels running under the theme parks, so I could see it being used for trafficking in the past.
I never liked Disney much once the "magic" wore off for our boys.
I'd rather die painfully, have to sit next to cabbage/pee Hillary on a Greyhound bus with no AC, or kiss Biden than go on a Disney Cruise.
Between the Disney characters and a cruise ship would do me in. Which we will never try I don't care how wonderful cruises are, and our son has tried.

A naive analysis looks at our government and assesses it as incompetent. They take in all this money and don't actually resolve any of the problems they are supposed to!
But if this was simple incompetence it would eventually get resolved, and things used to play out that way. Remember we went through a cycle of bad urban governance that changed with the likes of Rudy.
But that will not happen any more, because the goal of government is NOT to resolve the issues voters complain about, but instead to enrich the people in government and their clients.
You aren't seeing a broken system anymore. You are seeing a well oiled machine, but it isn't designed to do the things you think it is supposed to do.

The Morning Rant
Norway has approved plans to reopen three gas fields in the North Sea that were shut down nearly three decades ago, a move the government says will support European energy security. The Ministry of Energy said on May 5 that it has approved development plans for the Albuskjell, Vest Ekofisk, and Tommeliten Gamma fields, all located in the Ekofisk area in the southern North Sea. The fields were discovered in the 1970s and began production between 1977 and 1988, but were closed in 1998 during a redevelopment of the Ekofisk field. Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Aasland said the reopening showed the continuing value of Norway’s offshore assets.
Norway is positioned well in comparison to most of the rest of Europe, because they are almost entirely powered by hydro power. They use petroleum for profit, which sounds good, but they are unbelievably smug and hypocritical about going carbon-zero domestically, because they pay for it with petroleum exports!
Gas will be exported to Emden in Germany, while condensate, a light liquid hydrocarbon that is separated from natural gas, will be sent to Teesside in the UK. Unlike Norway, Germany has moved more cautiously, backing limited domestic and cross-border gas projects, while the UK’s major new North Sea projects remain caught between energy–security arguments, court rulings, and a government net-zero policy shift away from new drilling licenses. Germany and the UK are collaborating on net-zero goals—the total “decarbonization” of all sectors away from fossil fuels—with Germany targeting 2045 and the UK 2050.
Ah yes...the two European economies failing the fastest! Destroying domestic energy production, welcoming millions of 3rd world savages who are busily draining the government coffers while simultaneously catering to their every cultural demand does not sound like a solid basis for a 21st century economy! Germany is particularly suicidal...they had 19 functioning nuclear power plants in 2000, and today? Zero. None. At least the UK only cut nuclear power by half, not the absolutely insanity of the Germans. But both countries are fixated on carbon-zero economies, and both countries will fail. Perhaps they can repurpose their highways and use them for solar generation? Nobody will be able to drive anyway. Or start cutting down their forests for a few years' worth of heating. That would work! It is impossible to run a modern economy on renewables, except for a few small countries that have hydro or geothermal. The other technologies simply don't work. The sun doesn't shine very much at night, and the wind doesn't blow 24 hours a day! Plus, the destructiveness of solar and wind is the dirty little secret of the environmental lobbies. Solar is inefficient and sucks up huge amounts of land. Wind generation is also inefficient, uses a huge amount of petroleum during construction, and is famously unreliable. Then at the end of their functional lives, these installations are enormously difficult to recycle. Mostly they get dumped into land fills! And the upshot of all of this communist/environmental nonsense is that electricity rates in Germany have almost tripled since 2000. And in the UK? Pretty much the same! But all of those Germans and Brits can feel satisfied that they are saving the earth! as they freeze in the winter and boil in the summer. At least the Germans can enjoy their fast cars for a little while longer on those good highways of theirs...right? Except that their fuel costs between double and triple what ours costs. It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at their predicament. They have no one to blame except themselves and their feckless leaders. In 50 years, when the UK and Germany are the poorest countries in Europe, and on the fast track to being governed by Sharia law, I wonder whether their citizenry will question their decisions, or will they continue to blame everyone else?

Meanwhile, China has over 1,200 coal fired generation plants, with hundreds more under construction and planned.
The US has around 200 such coal fired plants by comparison.
The Chinese burn coal shipped in from the US and Australia, which is carried across oceans by hundreds of ships burning fossil fuel derived energy. Such a joke.
China is allowed to continue to pump massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, as under the Paris Accord they considered a "developing nation".

Posted by: XTC at May 07, 2026 11:02 AM (FpHTM)
With almost any produce (grown thing) it is about the soil and how they are grown (how quickly.) A LOT of produce is grown in China. Their soil is shit and they have used a old soviet chemical that dramatically increases growth rate and size, but also depletes soil quickly (their already shit soil.)
So you have these massive berries or tomatoes or whatever, but they have no flavor. They are usually pale and just kind of disgusting looking. Saw it with strawberries sourced from there... fuck almost 20 years ago.

Support for the National Health Service is virtually 100%, yet the vast majority of the population is deeply dissatisfied with it. Make it make sense.
According to a December 2024 poll, almost nobody in Britain (only 1%) supports abolishing the NHS. Despite very high dissatisfaction—with 51–59% of the public reporting they are unhappy with the service in 2024–2025—the vast majority still support a publicly funded system, with 89% wanting it to remain free at the point of use.
Desire for Radical Change: 63% of Britons want a radical overhaul, rather than getting rid of it entirely.Satisfaction Rates: As of early 2026, 26% of British adults are satisfied with the NHS, with 51% remaining dissatisfied.
Core Principle Support: 81–83% of Britons favor the NHS continuing to be funded through taxation.
Privatisation Concern: 66% of people are concerned about outsourcing the health service to private companies.
While dissatisfaction has reached historic highs, the public generally seeks reform and better funding rather than the removal of the National Health.

Yeah, they are retarded because they continually do not understand that they do not understand large scale, complex systems. Most people don't. The thing is most people don't but also realize they do not have their arms around how large and complex the system is, so they don't fuck with it.
The problem comes in when people who think they are smart (but are really fucktards) think they DO understand the system and then decide to fuck with it.

My willowed comment from last thread:
It's not that the can doesn't contain tomatoes, it's that they aren't San Marzano tomatoes in the sense that they're the correct varietal grown in the correct soil and manner as to have the distinctive taste people are looking for when buying San Marzanos. They are cheap, industrial-scale produced tomatoes that taste like ass.
If you want San Marzanos, the brand you want is Bianco DiNapoli. You need look no further.

You'd almost have to see a side by side comparison like I mentioned with the strawberries. We did one at that time. On the one hand you had the chinese strawberry which was about 3 times the size, pale, washed out looking. On the other you had a strawberry from south america. Deep red. Smaller but much firmer.
And this is not even getting into the taste differences, which were dramatic.
At what point is something such a distorted version of a thing where it is no longer an example of that thing?

AI Models Near the Point Where They Can Build a Better Version of Themselves
"My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it: 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously," Jack Clark, who heads The Anthropic Institute, told Axios.
The speed with which AI systems are evolving is far outstripping our ability to gauge the impact on humans and society. Lots of good things can happen in medicine, biology, and other sciences where AI is already making a big impact. The speed and autonomy of artificial intelligence models promise an abundant future.

It is interesting that Europe got this to occur running, essentially, their own version of the rat utopia experiment instead.
Eh, pretty much every developed economy (and many developing ones) have sub-replacement fertility. I think it's because we've simply found too many ways to amuse ourselves, other than reproduction.

See the problem with movies/books is that they are presenting a case that AI, or alien contact, or genetic experimentation could be really, really bad for humanity as a whole.
Our transhumanist elites DO NOT CARE.
Their focus is instead: Absent some fundamental change in our level of technology SOON I will die. There is no afterlife so its the end. And if I am going to end it is worth risking everything and everyone else for a chance to expend how long until I end.

Trains are an odd one. I think for the most part the people fascinated with them (like my Dad, definitely my Dad) are not really thinking of the kind of societal impact of them. It is just an obsession. (I feel it a bit for airships.) There is a romance for people there that is compelling. It is not about the practicality, but something inherent in the thing. During Thanksgiving/Christmas, my uncle will literally just put train switching station webcams on their giant TV and he and my Dad will just sit there and watch.

A few years back I read a well done essay by someone who rode the train across the country. (Thank goodness the hideous ticket cost was underwritten by some journalistic benefactor.)
He said it was a completely different universe which he playfully named "Amtrakistan."
I think this may be it:

Densha de Go! is more about directly manipulating a passenger train's acceleration and braking to keep on a tight schedule, with harsh time penalties if you overshoot the platform at stopping points.

I didn't used to like Impressionist paintings until I saw a few in person. Being able to stand close and see the techniques then standing back to see the whole effect was eye opening.

I didn't take any surface rail out of that station...just subways. The station was redone on the inside, and is now a two-level shopping mall on top of the subway station, with the trains to the north. It's sort of a weird place.
But I don't remember seeing those structures...

63 45 Trains are an odd one. I think for the most part the people fascinated with them (like my Dad, definitely my Dad) are not really thinking of the kind of societal impact of them. It is just an obsession. (I feel it a bit for airships.) There is a romance for people there that is compelling. It is not about the practicality, but something inherent in the thing. During Thanksgiving/Christmas, my uncle will literally just put train switching station webcams on their giant TV and he and my Dad will just sit there and watch.

That big building in the background is along Boulevard de Batignolles, which leads to Montmartre, and sort of to Sacre Coeur. Not a beautiful walk because the neighborhood is sort of dumpy (unless you want to pick up a hooker), but the view of the church is amazing.

I had a cow orker who's dad loved photographing black and white and color photos of trains coming down the tracks. He would post up off to the side of the tracks and get shots of them coming towards him. He sold a few photos to those calendar companies that make the annual calendar themes.

What's the over/under on the first trip on the California high speed rail system?
10 years?
We took the TGV a lot, and it is fantastic. But it is also financed by the government via ridiculously high taxes. And...of course...France is much denser and smaller than the USA, so trains can work. Here it's just a joke.
But longer distances...into central and eastern Europe... are not so great.

They have been driving me crazy for years. They sell San Marzano tomatoes and have a fake DOP seal on their can that has plausible deniability. Oh? You thought that was a DOP seal? No that's just a special logo that doesn't mean anything but looks exactly like a DOP seal. And I'll be honest the last set I got at Costco on sale in a three pack was bad even for regular tomatoes.

I was never a big fan of trains, except-
we lived within walking distance of train tracks when I was a wee tad and my friends and I would occasionally wander down there to place pennies on the track and have the train flatten them.
That was cool.
As was getting the engineer to blow his horn when passing.
On the down side- my folks told me to stay away from the tracks because hobos would occasionally hop off the trains and were dangerous to children.
And in fact we sometimes saw hobos coming away from the train track area.
They always looked pretty grotty so, I suppose the romance of riding the rails was more myth than reality.

You buy a British anvil. It comes from a manufacturer founded in 1743 whose Wikipedia page contains a 4,000-word section titled “Decline.” The casting is genuinely magnificent, the proportions perfected over eleven generations of wheelwrights and naval ironmongers. It arrives three weeks late with a handwritten apology referencing “industrial action at the Crewe distribution hub.” The accompanying booklet is bound in green cloth and contains a foreword by a minor royal. Halfway down page 12 you discover that the company was acquired in 2009 by a private equity firm headquartered in Luxembourg, and that the anvils are now manufactured in a facility outside Katowice. The quality is, against all odds, still excellent. There is a small brass plaque on the side which reads “By Appointment.” It does not specify to whom.

It's more complicated than that. They literally stole an election in plain site, then pulled a Reichstag fire on the people who showed up to protest. Crickets.
The thing is even then things did not get bad enough for people to overcome the need to not blow up their life to hang them all from lampposts. It is natural.

OMG, this is so true. I had an eye dr. appt just yesterday and my prescription changed. I brought a few pairs of my old glasses with me just so I didn't have to buy a new pair of frames. Just with the lenses alone, I replaced the lenses in 2 pairs and it cost over $400+. And I don't even have vision that's bad...no coke bottles! Just need clarity for distance when I drive or go to shows. I left there thinking what a racket.

With almost any produce (grown thing) it is about the soil and how they are grown (how quickly.) A LOT of produce is grown in China. Their soil is shit and they have used a old soviet chemical that dramatically increases growth rate and size, but also depletes soil quickly (their already shit soil.)
So you have these massive berries or tomatoes or whatever, but they have no flavor. They are usually pale and just kind of disgusting looking. Saw it with strawberries sourced from there... fuck almost 20 years ago.

Monet is one of my very favorite Impressionists and we visited his home and saw his gardens one rainy day in May 1999. He had cataracts and the surgeries back then impacted color in his paintings. His kitchen was blue/white tiles with copper pans.
We left after a bus of Orientals arrived with their dang cameras. It was serene til then.

The Morning Report — 5/ 7/26
The slip occurred when the debate segued into the destructive Palisades Fire of 2025 and reports that dozens of fire trucks were in need of repair prior to that fateful day. It was when Bass had to utter the word “trucks” that another word slipped out. “So yes, there were fire trucks that were broken, but there were also fire fucks,” Bass said before she immediately corrected herself to say “trucks that were out of use.”No it's not the broken trucks that were the problem it was her and Gavin Newsom's politically-driven ineptitude and incompetence that caused one of the most expensive and beautiful neighborhoods in Los Angeles and America to be reduced to ashes and rubble, and more than a year later to remain a ruin and a monument to insane leftist policies. "Fire Fucks" indeed. Both of them should have been fired long ago and in a sane world should never have been within a billion light years from any position of political power. And it's not just them but the political party and movement that they are floating near the top of. Barring some unforeseen dark horse candidate Greasy Greaseball Newsom, despite being white, male and publicly non-homo, will probably be at the top of the ticket in 2028. As a reminder, California was once the 6th largest economy in the world, and a place that for generations Americans flocked to, as a place to live the American dream. Now people with an ounce of sanity are fleeing California in droves. The Democrats are not necessarily worried about that . . .
Democrat California Gov. candidate Katie Porter inadvertently revealed the real reason leftist politicians are pushing for sanctuary cities. Porter let the mask slip during Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate and admitted that illegal immigration is one of “the only ways [California] has been growing in recent years,” seemingly embracing the replacement of American residents with foreigners. Notably, the deep blue state has welcomed illegals to the tune of millions while an estimated 10 million California residents have fled the state in the last decade.And as if you weren't aware, they may be here illegally but every one of them is a registered Democrat who votes, early and often I'd bet. And for their troubles they are given welfare to the tune now of hundreds of billions of dollars, as was uncovered in Minnesota and in Ohio and surprise, surprise California. Elsewhere this item just underscores the utter evil of Democrat/Leftism:
A Chicago alderman is calling for “corporate” criminal charges against the pharmacy chain Walgreens for its plan to close a store on the city’s troubled South Side over concerns over retail theft and violence at the drugstore. “We’re not here to beg Walgreens to stay,” Ward 6 Alderman Will Hall said at news conference, surrounded by local community members. “We are saying that their decision is the wrong decision my opinion. In my opinion, it should be considered a first-degree corporate crime. Because the amount of people that will be hurt by this, the amount of elders who will not have access to healthcare is evil.”What's evil is causing the breakdown of the family and decriminalizing crime while blaming free market capitalism, America and our society which allowed Chicago to become a one-time flourishing megalopolis, unlike the decaying hellhole it is today thanks to vermin like this alderman and his ilk. Well, once this Mamdani-wannabe seizes the means of production and all private property, paradise on earth will be achieved, just like in the Soviet Union. Or Cuba. And speaking of Cuba:
During a press briefing on Cuba on Tuesday, Jayapal spoke about how, in January, President Donald Trump had signed an executive order “declaring a national emergency over the threats to America posed by Cuba.” In a post on X, Scott responded to Jayapal’s comments in which she described the sanctions against countries giving oil to Cuba, and firms and banks working with Cuba, as “an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba.” “DISTURBING: @RepJeffries and @HouseDemocrats, members of your party are OPENLY admitting to aiding a communist adversary in coordination with foreign countries to VIOLATE American sanctions,” Scott wrote. “@POTUS put those sanctions in place to keep Americans SAFE and to hold the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime accountable for their crimes.”So, where are the arrests and prosecutions RIck Scott, and President Trump?! The world wonders... Have a good day!

One entrepreneur started an “All In” Grocery store, and by golly it was going to he great. Serve the “community” and the rest of it. He got all kinds of grants, loans, special tax breaks. Anyone expressing financial skepticism was accused of racism. Construction lagged for about 4 or 5 years, and more skepticism.
Finally it opened to much fan fare. It didn’t last 6 months. Where’d all that money go? They had claimed to be the first grocery store in the area, which wasn’t true. They claimed the only reason there were no grocery stores was because of racism. The only color grocery stores care about is green.
The Hy-Vee store had been there maybe 10 years, but it closed after “All-In” grocery opened up, citing “performance issues”. Uh-huh. Now they have no grocery stores.
The local rag interviewed the locals and all the usual bullshit allegations ensued. Nobody can even mention just exactly why these establishments can’t make a profit. Weird, huh? Stupid bastards.

And as I said yesterday, wars are unpredictable, and you don't always get what you want the way you want it or at all...especially if you start by hamstringing yourself.
I still think Trump initially got convinced that the winter uprisings combined with the decapitation strike and initial defense destruction would flip the country favorably to us. It did not. Now, he's trying to figure out how to extracate with the most gains for us (which right now, seems to be the furthest kick down the road).
He doesn't want to be the starter of the next Vietnam or Afgjanistan or even Iraq 2...the perpetual war that saps the morale of everyone, drains our budgets, and never gets really won. At least in our favor.
It is what it is. Sunk costs are done. Sometimes things don't work out the way you expect at the start.

Iranian figures are putting out statements publicly mocking and laughing at the US for the collapse of the plan to escort ships through the straits. The Saudis and the UAE are furious that the US is refusing for now to retaliate for any missiles fired at their countries, to the point that the Saudis have now threatened to refuse to allow the US to use Saudi bases to support the operation.
Last Thursday night, it is reported that Hegseth and others recommended a much stronger response, and that Trump turned them down.
Trump appears to be listening to advisors who say high oil prices are damaging his political standing, and that he should just find a way to claim victory and leave, allowing the Iranian regime to maintain full control. The Iranians are now openly expecting this.

Does anyone actually believe that they will do that? At best they will give up a tiny amount, get the US to stand down, and the say they can’t find the rest while making all kinds of excuses. Then within 5 years they’ll have a nuke, use it, and we’ll be back at this war, except that in that one millions will die.

I know, and sadly agree. Our last best hope is counting on the Iranians to be so stupid that they force Trump to do what he clearly no longer wishes to order.

62 PDT'S plan from the beginning was get rid of the nuke capability . The IRGC, in this latest plan are conceding all the enriched uranium and giving a 15 year moratorium.on any enrichment.”
Does anyone actually believe that they will do that? At best they will give up a tiny amount, get the US to stand down, and the say they can’t find the rest while making all kinds of excuses. Then within 5 years they’ll have a nuke, use it, and we’ll be back at this war, except that in that one millions will die.
That’s the cost of failure at this point.
Posted by: Tom Servo at May 07, 2026 08:04 AM (I68sz)
Or it's not. B/c someone else will do something to kick the can, then. Or maybe the Iranian people finally do something. Or the Mideast itself gets in its own turf war. Or a million things. Thus, the last 47 years of kick the can just continues.
PS - The unforunate thing...even if you stop what they are doing now...Iranian allies could put them right back to the same place. So, ending this doesn't end this without a pro-US government and people. And that's not coming.

I seriously can't tell WTF is going on with Iran. If I want them annihilated(boots on the ground) I'll be attacked and told to go sign up to fight. If I say this is starting to smell like a debacle then I'm attacked for being a doomer black piller.

Exactly 2 people have ever been indicted for violating the Logan Act, most recently in 1853. Exactly neither of them were convicted. People like to throw it around to show that they know what laws are on the books but it's dead letter, even assuming that it wouldn't be ruled unconstitutional.

Who has really had control of Iranian oil and the shipping, maybe by control of insuring the shipping, for a long time? Is it possibly the same "outfit" that installed the mullahs in Iran in the late 70's?
Want to drive up oil and shipping insurance costs? Just have the mullahs cause some trouble for awhile.
Who are the globalists? Over there and yes, here?

101 From what I'm reading, Iran will have to cap its wells which will freeze its oil industry and end revenues for many months. Not capping will make it worse. China hardest hit, after Iran.”
That’s a meme that’s been repeated endlessly, and it’s not actually true. Wells can be shut in, it happens all the time. Now due to geological issues some of their wells may not come back and produce at the same rate, but that’s a guess, not a certainty. The Iranian leadership will risk it.

The New Yorker interview with Obama, published Monday, shared how their marriage was affected by Barack’s continual involvement in politics. The former president pointed to President Donald Trump as the reason for his involvement.
“She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” Obama said, adding that the pressure remains to be politically active against the Trump administration, despite the precedent of past presidents retiring out of politics altogether. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”

Treason is the only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution. According to Article III, Section 3:
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.

Election Fraud has obviated this. Votes no longer seem to matter. There is an ebb and flow to politics and the parties, but the Democrats have been very focused on One Party Rule for 25 years now, they have decided to short circuit the whole process. That’s my take on it anyway.
They certainly don’t seem inclined to moderate or tack to the center or compromise, they won’t acknowledge the electorate overwhelmingly rejects their policies. Nothing else makes sense. Even Biden stated publicly “I don’t need your vote!”; why would he say that? Well, he also said “we have the most inclusive voting fraud system” or something along those lines. A gaffe, maybe. Maybe not.

There are several hallmarks of the failed war strategy we’ve experienced since 9-11. First and foremost is the lack of a battle plan with stable mission objectives that dictated the end of conflict. We stayed in Iraq and Afghanistan because the those mission objectives, set by civilian leadership, constantly shifted with the political winds. That wasn’t a military failure. It was a leadership failure. I’ve often made the point we won Afghanistan in a few months with roughly two ODA’s and a bunch of NA insurgent fighters. That’s exhibit one.
Ultimately we failed to execute a battle plan that properly applied the maximum force needed to meet the objectives quickly and decisively. War is ugly. People die. A lot of shit gets broken. The question becomes what is your capacity for sacrifice versus what you will gain based on your objectives.
A battle plan is not immutable. It may shift to take advantage of events in the battle space. However the mission objectives should always stay the same. If they do not, you are constantly moving the ball and forcing battlefield adaptations that were not planned for. That heightens risk.
You choose where we are now.

Katie Porter, on the other hand, is deliberate in her use of the "f" word. She a very angry person and she wants to take out her anger on other people. That and she thinks using the "f" word repeatedly makes her sound like a tough broad . We can and all have used the f word, but generally not repeatedly in an attempt to influence people to think you're a tough broad or guy, but rather because we're fed up or angry or tired. Even if I were still a Democrat and lived in CA I probably wouldn't vote for her for that reason.

What this means, in plain English, is that 3 days ago Iran attacked the UAE with missiles and drones. The UAE expected the US to retaliate, but instead the US told them “well we’re trying to make a deal, so just pretend like it didn’t happen.”
The Saudis and presumably the UAE, who have been our biggest regional supporters, are saying “well if that’s the new deal, then we’re out.”
And Iran knows this and is laughing at the weakness we’re showing now.

The protection plan in place by the US has ships transit the Hormuz in an area deemed safe, close to Oman. Several cruise ships used this route weeks ago on a mass "break out" of the Persian Gulf where they'd been trapped.
As I've been saying; commercial shippers have a say on whether the Hormuz is safe or not. Crews have to be willing to run a ship in this area and not get shot at. Insurers have to be content with The Plan™ as well.
There's more than enough American firepower in the region go bring Iran to its knees. At great cost to both them, and us. We're not there yet. Maybe soon. Maybe never.

This statement, while perhaps noble in its intent, is not the reality in Adolescent Gender Clinics. I submit that the feedback loop that is created when a troubled teen tearfully hugs the doctor, nurse or counselor and sobs, "You are the first person who ever really, really understands me..." is such a powerful positive motivator for the provider that rational analysis of the evidence goes right out the window allowing the provider to ignore simple biologic reality. You could call it Gender Clinic Affirming Care.

In the seventy two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element--the British weather. Britain's chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on. With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower. With only hours to go, the fate of the war and the lives of millions hang in the balance.

I saw that pathetic attempt to spin Democrat troubles. El Commandente Zero seems to have decided that the way to make antisemitic communism palatable to voters is to paint the GOP as "a worry".

"I'd love a Republican Party that...believed in rule of law...and wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses."
“There has been a Republican party like that in the past, and I want to see that return."

What he did is demonstrable. He took what was almost a post-racial America, proven ironically by his election, and turned people against each other. He weaponized the government against the very people who elected him. He further used the government and its resources to undermine the opposition political candidate. He perpetrated that fraud knowingly and with evil intent. He was the first to weaponize the justice system against his political enemies with the person driving the charge.
He knows it. We all know it now. It’s there for everyone to see. Whatever influence he had has been tainted and revealed as both biased and corrupt by the span of time.

California is an enigma; status as a global economic powerhouse and a place with extreme, worsening social issues, such as high poverty, immense income disparity, and severe housing costs.
Believe Newsome, Bass, etc., were never going to rush rebuilding areas of the Palisades Fire (Palisades & in Malibu) where many of the residents were 'middle class,' underinsured, and will never be able to rebuild even like-for-like residences to live in for any length of time. And of course the wealthy residents, Billionaire's Beach and similar areas, have - at least temporarily - moved to safer locations and/or have sold their devastated properties to investors.
Guaranteed, unless there are more than one political miracles in Cali, it will be the Federal government's/Trump's fault for not providing bottomless financial aid and assistance.

This solves the cooling problem but rather opens up the shark problem.
- The first draft of the spec for PCIe 8.0 has been announced, with ratification expected in 2028. (Tom's Hardware)
A single lane of PCIe 8.0 is twice as fast as a full x16 slot of PCIe 3.0, and it should be backwards compatible.
PCIe 6.0 support is very limited even in the enterprise space, so we'll be waiting a while for 8.0 to land on our desktops.
- If you want a Mac Studio you'll be waiting six weeks to forever depending on the configuration. (Toms' Hardware)
The 256GB and 128GB models have followed the largest 512GB model into the overpriced dustbin of history - remember, we're talking RAM sizes here, not storage - and even the basic 64GB model will take six weeks to deliver.

It reminds me of a webcomic a few years back where the main character was dealing with his teenaged sister in law's anger at God because of her best friend committing suicide. She kept throwing questions at him until he basically said "I don't know." He used the analogy of a doctor working on a child whose too small to understand why he's being hurt by this adult.

I read an article a few months to a year ago about some guys who were trying to install generators and small data and computational setups at oil wells which flared the natural gas rather then trying to capture it. The idea was that the “free” power would offset the cost and potential latency issues from lack of scale. I haven’t seen more about it so I’m not sure it’s working.

First of all, as talented she is, she isn't American.
More importantly, it's completely wrong for the context. It should have been "Mouth For War," but we were already a pussy country by then.

In this case, it's heralding the end of "AI IN ALL THE THINGS!". In the Xbox situation, the previous rocketman wanted a help screen that would pop up help depending on where you were in the game. Maybe a neat feature for those that want it (and don't... yanno, have a f@$%ing phone glued to them already). But all the extra hooks and processing and network usage it'll use in the background (because it WILL be there), and the constant "Disable This" being forgotten every time MS updates a thing, meant it'd be a bloated feature that would slow down the console.
So, a good thing happened.
Conversely, Evil Google is r@ping your limited storage space with a 4 GB file it shadowdrops, for AI purposes. And keeps shadowdropping. Woe if you're on a metered connection.

Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace and Megyn free zone. Please. Will you be smarter after reading this ONT?

Teen fertility collapsed globally starting around 2007. This affected countries across the income and policy spectrum. This paper argues that smartphones changed how teens spend time with each other, and that this change in turn drove the collapse in teen fertility. Once enough teens are on the phone, being on the phone is where the peer network is; in-person time falls sharply, and with it the unstructured contact in which most unintended teen conceptions occur. The model predicts that the shift towards the phone-mediated equilibrium affects multiple aspects of teen behavior. The same instrument that produces a collapse in teen fertility produces a surge in teen suicides.Yikes. Isn't there a happy medium somewhere?

Yes. Bavaria is heavily Catholic and that extends north into the Rhineland. The more north you get, the more Lutheran the princes became.

As I was complaining about, NASA released 12K+ high res photos from the Artemis mission, and just unceremoniously dumped them with no organization or much rhyme or reason at all. Some people put together this wrapper site to put the photos in a chronological order at least:

There will be a timeline bar at the top where you can slide through to various points in the mission.

I did a writeup on it a few years ago, and I own it on DVD. The John Barry soundtrack is superb, and the sequence where the Cygnus fires up its engines is one of the best moments in sci fi.

Wait, they're less capable of making babies (which could be a problem) or they aren't sleeping around as much (which is probably good for them)?
If the latter, I can't help but think of the posse Jesus has following him in Revelation of men who've never touched women, which seemed weird when I was younger but makes more sense now given the way the world despises "incels."

Starting in the 80s, pop culture began to disparage and ridicule virginity. It went from being a virtue to carrying a stigma.
The term "incel" is the final form of this Satanic invocation. It posits that the worst thing in the world to is lust and be incapable of acting upon it.
Ironically, the people who seem to invoke it the most are usually dedicated Onanists.

You're welcome. And that's not all of them, just what the author considers the best of them.
NASA's site where they dumped all that was getting slow and crashy due to all the traffic. They will eventually get them all catalogued and ID'd and all the info filled it, but it will take a while.
And they will eventually post the full RAW files, from I understand.

Publius - the Apollo crews were scheduled by Donald “Deke” Slayton, head of the astronaut office. I’m sure you know the basic rotation scheme he had set down. But it sure got screwed around a lot, and swapped around, as personnel got killed, injuries, mission changes etc. What I’m getting at, the crews that were assigned weren’t too sure who would get what mission, it was all very tentative and subject to change, so I’m not sure it’s possible to even say Armstrong was specifically “picked” to be the first lunar commander based on his Mad Skilz. It’s just the way it all shook out after years of shuffles, sometimes due to tragic events like Charlie Bassett and Elliot See auguring in, etc. The truth is, I think, any of the crews could have accomplished any of the missions. It was certainly a team effort par excellance with all those guys in mission control and basically every contractor and subcontractor on call for support. MIT and IBM and a gazillion others.

I'm not sure how accurate it is. I-95 in south Florida was not complete until the 1980's.There was a gap between WPB and Boca Raton until the 1970's and the portion between WPB and Fort Pierce wasn't completed until the late 1980's or 1990's. Even today, the portion between WPB and Fort Pierce veers sharply inland due to some agreement dating back to the 1950's that no competing road would be built east of the turnpike.

Trump is not caving on Iran and nuclear weapons.
Limiting any "deal" to nukes would actually be caving, and kicking a large stack of cans down the road.
If true, Saudi move can be puzzling. But the only actor here with transparent and (in their universe) rational public behavior is actually the fanatics of the IRGC. Don's Fog of War has rendered actual US intentions almost as opaque as is SOP in the Arab states. If you've spent much of your life dealing with the region, fairly interesting.

However, apparently the native pronunciation always had something like the "An" before, and it was the French who dropped it, and called it Tananarive. So back then, they were using the French pronunciation.

Waaaay back in the 1980 period I was in a cover band that did a shit ton pf priest songs. We had our suspicions back then, we were pretty damn sure bob was a flamer. The way he dressed was a bit of a clue, but yeah the lyrics on some tunes had our scratching our head. Then, around 1982 I got a chance to meet the band. I had 2 smoking hot chicks with me and a slightly younger dude that was friends with one of the chicks. They were doing 2 shows in the general area, so we all went to the second show and met them again a few days, maybe a week later. Rob remembered the dude's name, almost greeted him like a long lost friend. I had the same 2 smoking chicks with me....nothing. 1 was a tall blonde with superior melons...nothing. Ooookaayyyy then, no need to wonder any more.

Reuters quoted sources who said the memo seemingly abandoned some demands the Trump administration has made in the past, such as “curbs on Iran’s missile program and an end to its support for proxy militias in the Middle East.” It also did not mention Iran’s missing stockpile of some 900 pounds of near-weapons-grade uranium, which the administration has previously said Iran must surrender in order to end the war.

U.S. forces operating in the Gulf of Oman enforced blockade measures by disabling an Iranian-flagged unladen oil tanker attempting to sail toward an Iranian port at 9 a.m. ET, May 6.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces observed M/T Hasna as it transited international waters enroute to an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman. American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade.
After Hasna’s crew failed to comply with repeated warnings, U.S. forces disabled the tanker’s rudder by firing several rounds from the 20mm cannon gun of a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet launched from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Hasna is no longer transiting to Iran.
The U.S. blockade against ships attempting to enter or depart Iranian ports remains in full effect. CENTCOM forces continue to act deliberately and professionally to ensure compliance.

Fast-forward to June of 2024, and the video for "Rather Be Me Than You" shows them "comfortable in their own skins" in a way that when we're younger, we hope that's how we'll grow older, but not everyone achieves. I think they're basically dissing their anon critics: yes, we might play smaller venues, but we're working where you're a gigless problem customer getting kicked out.

The portable dishwasher alarms me. The bathroom alarms me as they don't show but the top of the shower. If the generator failed who do you call and when do they arrive to fix it? Electrolysis for the water pump...hair removal? Wut?
I was seasick once on a boat (only time motion sickness) in a really bad storm on the Gulf of Mexico and that open porthole looks alarming...are there snakes in the Bay? Plus there is no pool or mountain view.Is there cable and Internet service? Why don't they show all the rooms? Did someone die there?
I could last maybe a weekend if the guy I was with made it worth my time, he knew what to do for all emergencies with an epipen or two and guns,a Navy SEAL, and had a boat tied to this lighthouse that may be haunted by ghosts trying to get to land or find a mate or a cheeseburger with curly fries.

We've been together 49yrs, married 47yrs and still like each other a lot! We have the mentality of our grandchildren and the aches at night of our age. Worth the ride! No complaints. I have it all.
He had a complaint tonight (rare) that the pasta sauce was too salty and he asked about the broth amt. It is possible I screwed up. He then said for dessert we should have the gorgeous lemon meringue pie that would strip enamel from your teeth that I made one Easter when our sons were small.Therefore, 2 complaints of my cooking (so far) in our marriage.
He asked tonight if my plan is to suddenly cook crappy so I won't have to ever again (he gave me an idea!). He's a good cook so we'd survive.
The lemon pie mistake was using 2 huge Meyer lemons vs normal lemons from our FL neighbor and not considering the lips curling back response. We all cracked up. It was perfect to behold til the first bite.

She saw her stuffed lamb at the bottom of her bed and used her feet to bring it to her hands. I think she's very smart as well as pretty.
It was a perfect day til she threw up all over me before we got her home. A virus she saved especially for me. As a nurse I felt badly for her and not fazed, cleaned up, thought all would be well. Then boom again 45min later before we got in the car. Then this little darlin scared me a bit as in 2hrs she was dry heaving every 15min til the doc told DIL the amt of Zofran and 1.5ml pedialyte that stopped it and she was normal again.Son out of town as he travels for job. I was close to insisting on an ED visit when the Zofran worked its magic in 15min. Sons were not infants with their virst virus and older. She broke my heart with her little head on my shoulder and was so still vs her normal self (I was wearing a towel during all of this). Thankfully she got better as quickly as it came.

I see some survey (TESS) was completed, and it has found 10,000 more exoplanet candidates. Not all will be confirmed, of course, but compare that to the current 6000 confirmed one.
When the Roman space telescope is through, it's likely to push it over 100K exoplanets.

I remember some of the arguments years ago that there had to be a second one, because egyptians never just built one if they were using them as a gateway. There was always a pair. Thats assuming the egyptians built the sphinx to start with, because there is a shit ton of proof that its waaaay older. It has water erosion, and there hasn't been that kind of water there for over 10,000 years. Another argument is the head is too small, that it was most likely a lion originally, and it got carved down to a human head. Who knows.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at May 07, 2026 02:29 AM (snZF9)
Roman has a much wider field of view than Hubble. It's something like in one year Roman can survey what would take 100 years with Hubble.
Roman has two main missions. One is a large scale survey of the structure of observable universe. There are problems showing up with the current cosmological models, and Roman will confirm or refute them. This is things like the Hubble tension, and the "S8 tension".
The second one is a YUGE exoplanet hunt using gravitational microlensing. It will be able to detect exomoons (if they are massive enough and far enough away from their primary planet). They figure they will find 100K more exoplanets when it's done.

When paleo astronomers used computer programs to see what the sky looked like in 10,500 BC it turns out the sphinx was looking at the constellation Leo as it came up from the horizon. Its almost if the damn thing is a time capsule. I sometimes wonder if the entire egyptian thing was stolen from a far more ancient civilization. I read some great theories that the pyramids of Giza are the originals and every other one is a copy. There was never anything like them before or after. One of the details was that only the great pyramid has a grand gallery and king and queen's chamber, and that wasn't known until around 700AD when they were finally breached. The descending passage was known in ancient times, and all the "copies" have it because it was only passage they had access to to copy. They didn't know about the others, so no other pyramid has them. Crazy shit.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at May 07, 2026 02:49 AM (snZF9)
And another wild thing is the amount of data Roman is going to spew. Over 1.4 TB of data per day. The deep sky survey will top out at 20 PB in 5 years, and the exoplanet survey will add another 10 PB to that.
They had to come up with much higher bandwidth comms for this, not to mention an infrastructure to distribute and work will all that. Data rate will be 500 Mb/s. And that's from the L2 point.

Indeed. I've read a lot of that over the years (and forgotten a lot of it, too). That magic date of 10, 500 BC, give or take. The Younger-Dryas.
There are other alignments too that all go back to that magic date, I forget. It's also claimed the slightly off-center alignment of the three pyramids corresponds to Orion's belt stars. Orion = Osiris. Was 10,500 BC the end of "Zep Tepi", the First Time, when the gods walked and ruled the earth....

The Younger-Dryas is amazing. Just what the hell happened there is something, but it was Biblical level catastrophism. Meltwater pulses before and after like you wouldn't believe ravaging. The megafauna extinction in North America. The ice sheets melted so fast, it's unbelievable (where did the energy to do it that fast come from?).
And, how about this. Plato's account of Atlantis puts the destruction right around 11,600BC or so, corresponding to meltwater pulse 1B. But that's all crazy talk, woo-woo nonsense. Atlantis is just nonsense, of course...

yeah, well somebody back then had serious technology. When they were doing some work around Tiwanaku they found that a lot of the giant blocks were held together by having a dog bone shaped dovetail carved across the joints of the blocks and then had molten steel poured into the recess to form a clamp. They found the same technique in ancient egypt half a world away. The one in S America looked like a dog bone, the ones in egypt was shaped like a bow tie, but the purpose was the same.

There is a German tale of the old farmer woman who decided to graze her old milk cow on the turf roof of her hut, but afraid that the poor old cow would wander to far and fall off the roof, she determined she would tie the tether rope around her wrist by way of running it down the chimney, so she could control the cow that way, and do her housework inside at the same time.
Of course the cow fell off the roof while she was working near the fire, and so doing yanked the poor farmer woman up the chimney where she most likely suffocated.
As in all German humorous tales, that was the knee slapping part.

They live in China. I'm sure that environment has rendered them immune to heavy-metal poisoning. And the mercury would kill the tetanus bacteria.

The reason Democrats roll out Mayhem Summers like clockwork is that it's effective. There is a tacit understanding in America - that Democrats can stop the mayhem and Republicans cannot. Everyone knows that Dems control the blood spigot, and Republicans are are powerless to turn it off, let alone on.
So, on it goes, and if voters want it turned off, they know what they have to do. Lawless violence is one of their best tools. It puts votes in their column, not the other way around.

Sigh, hacking away at life. I was chatting with an insurance guy today who told me about one of his clients in La Jolla. The boys inherited the place from their parents, but they live in Guadalajara. Instead of selling it for $28mm, they decided to keep it because otherwise "they wouldn't have an excuse to visit San Diego."
7,000 square feet, 180-degree ocean view, just remodeled the kitchen for $250,000, needed something to tool around in when they come to town so they augmented the Bentley with a $450,000 Porsche, they barely ever visit but keep the place impeccably maintained all the time (lawn mowed every day), etc. I told him to ask if they need a house-sitter... or at least a tenant in some knob of the house.

No one local would touch them. So last week I sent them to a cobbler in Austin along with an unbelievable amount of money. They are apparently the experts at this so I'll report back in a week or so when they come back.
It was hard reconciling the cost, no one wears boots anymore, no where as much as in the 80s when it was kind of the fashion out west. They should be pretty nice looking though when they're done.
I guess from here it's a Stetson, line dancing, pissing in a trough, and passing out on random friend's back porch. Or I could be content with just the wearing boots part.

I stumbled on a video about that last week. He's suffering from severe akathisia, which is absolute hell on earth. It's restlessness with an uncontrollable compulsion to move, coupled with severe anxiety. Your fight or flight is ramped up to the red line. Imagine a constant panic attack state.
They're blaming benzos for it. He was on those long term, and had to withdraw, which is bad enough, but it was quite neurotoxic to him, which they apparently are in small fraction of the population.
He was essentially hooked on them, yet they were killing him, so he had to get off. He thought he had kicked it, but the akathisia came back.

A full on exposed API has revealed (17) thousands of people who signed up for the GTFO Ice site.
Full names, phone, and zip codes.

GTFO ICE is a coalition of three orgs:
1. DEFIANCE dot org : Miles Taylor + Xander Schultz
2. Save America Movement : Steve Schmidt (yes, of the Lincoln Project)
3. Project Salt Box
Taylor's security clearance was suspended by presidential memorandum in April 2025. Trump called his conduct "treasonous."
Five months later, Taylor launched DEFIANCE dot org. Five months after that... GTFO ICE

I'm guessing Iran signaled some kind of openness to a deal.
My view of this is that Trump thought we could kick the shit out of Iran, and the populace would rise up and overthrow the regime. That (unsurprisingly) did not materialize, and now we need a way out of this. So it's just a chaotic dance of threats and negotiations until we can get some piece of paper signed, by someone.

I think it is just a 48 hour pause requested by Pakistan for Iran to reconsider terms and let the government get its collective fingers out of its butts. Everything is still poised on station, Iran is financially dead in the water, all the neighbors want them dead, and they get to chose between shutting down pumping or just pouring the oil onto the ground like some massive sin of Onan.

It's fascinating to see the Scott Adams (RIP) "two movie screens" thing at work.
Trump has completely destroyed the conventional wisdom. Defied expert predictions for years on end, yet even his allies think it's all a fluke, just luck or something.
But maybe the Ranting Buffoon thing is just an act, a WWE persona that he uses to cause people to underestimate him.
I have seen zero evidence that this operation was not planned with profound forethought and flexibility. Iran has been crushed in a world-historical fashion, yet people keep insisting - without evidence, as the cool kids say - that somehow the Iranians are the eevil geniuses that have crashed their economy, wrecked their military, and their oil wells are about to piss out.
Okay, whatever.

He's been all over the world undergoing what might charitably be called "alternative therapy" (crackpot quackery not-so-charitably). He went into some Moscow facility where they put him in an induced coma to ride out cold turkey withdrawal. Then after that, he went to Serbia for more. And then a bunch more of this "alternative stuff".
Suicide is quite common with akathisia -- it's hell on earth. So, on the one hand you can't blame him and his family for trying anything, yet all the "alternative" stuff could've messed him up more than it helped. Who knows.

Here's the thing: Iran's government can still fall. I think that's the part everyone is missing. Trump doesn't need to overthrow them, just defang them. He's done that. And he's gang-raping China's economy. UAE gets it. It's a new world order, but in a good way.
So make a deal, let oil prices start to fall as summer driving season starts, but the Mullahs are still hated, and weaker than ever. Let Mossad do their thing.
Yeah, that's the other part. Maybe we're outsourcing work to Israel rather than vice-versa. Kinda wrecks the whole "Joos run everything" concept.

Back many years ago when I lived in Texas I knew a cobbler that fixed boots. The guy had a booming business. People came from miles away to have him fix their boots. Usually the heels. Cowboys, ranchers, well people of all kinds. Cowboys were especially good customers. They had their boots broke in and would rather have them fixed than break in a new pair. Our town had a Rodeo that is still there and bigger than ever. Folks are very particular about their boots. No telling how much the old guy raked in. He was a character.

Will Fetterman Flip?
Will Lumpy Jack finally assume full control over the body?
Lumpy Jack is blasting Democrats for supporting "Hamas/Hezballah shitheads."
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., described protesters who demonstrated in New York City on Tuesday as "Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas s[---]heads," and indicated that the Democratic Party should speak out against them. "Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas s[---]heads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care," Fetterman wrote in a Wednesday post on X. "Where's my party's condemnation?"By the way, I wanted to link Fetterman saying "I can't see continuing as a Democrat" and "the party has lost their way" but I could not find video of Lumpy Jack actually saying that and that's because he didn't say it. Those quotes are from a parody site called "Nothing on this Site is Real." Just wanted to give you a heads up about that fake news. But it still is possible that he'll become an independent. The party is determined to purge him. And the GOP is trying to flip him.
Fetterman made the comments when sharing a post on X that featured video footage in which people could be heard engaging in what sounded like an anti-Zionist chant.
If Fetterman does flip, according to officials who were given anonymity to talk about sensitive matters, it will be thanks in large part to his deepening friendship with a pair of senators and their high-profile spouses: Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), and his wife Dina, and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), and her husband, Wesley. But the first-term Democrat -- who's infuriated his party with his harder line on immigration and staunch support for Israel, Trump nominees, government funding bills and most recently the president's ballroom -- isn't yet persuaded. "I'm not changing," Fetterman told me in an interview Friday when I asked if he was ruling out both becoming a Republican or turning independent. "I'm a Democrat, and I'm staying one. " Yet, at least in private, he's not totally rejecting dropping his "D." When one senior Republican recently brought up the idea of becoming an independent to Fetterman, he absorbed the suggestion and didn't embrace or reject the overture, according to a GOP official familiar with the conversation. In our interview, Fetterman said bluntly: "I'd be a shitty Republican." There are his votes against big-ticket measures, such as last year's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, but also his liberal views on a raft of cultural issues. ... Fetterman has raised these same doubts about how welcome he'd be as a Republican to his GOP colleagues, too, I'm told by sources briefed on the conversations. If Republicans can't tolerate even Tillis, Fetterman suggested, how would they accept somebody who supports abortion rights, gay rights, legalizing marijuana and is pro-labor? (He flies the pride flag outside his Senate office.) Senate Republicans have reminded the Pennsylvanian that there are members of their conference who are more moderate on each of those issues. Trump, who knows a thing or two about party switching, has also gotten in on the action. He's told one GOP senator he prefers Fetterman making the full conversion to Republican, according to a source familiar with the conversation. And Trump has said, if Fetterman does, he'd reciprocate. In his typical unsubtle fashion, the president conveyed as much to Sean Hannity in March and asked Hannity to play intermediary.Fetterman's announced 2028 Democrat primary opponent is leaving death threats for his thirteen year old daughter.

@BenHart_Freedom BREAKING 🚨: Here's one reason John Fetterman is giving serious consideration to becoming a Republican. A Democrat named Raymond Eugene Chandler III, who was planning to run against Fetterman in the Senate primary for 2028, was arrested by the FBI on May 1 for leaving multiple voicemails with death threats and graphic obscene messages on the voice mail of Fetterman's 13-year-old daughter. Chandler also threatened to kill President Trump. Chandler had declared his candidacy for the 2028 U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania, positioning himself as a "leftist" or progressive primary challenger to Fetterman, running on a platform of wealth redistribution. Like most Americans, Fetterman is coming to the realization that today's Democrat Party is no longer the Party of JFK -- who was patriotic, pro-life, pro-God, very anti-communist, and pro-capitalist. But today's Democrat Party has become the party of political assassination, violence, mental illness, and hatred of America. Today's Democrat Party actively roots for Iran to defeat America and our troops. Today's Democrats are the party of open borders, lawlessness, election fraud, and using the schools to indoctrinate our children into radical Left LGBTQ ideology (including encouraging children as young as kindergarten to undergo gender transition surgeries). Today's Democrat Party actively works for America's destruction at every level. And John Fetterman has had enough. There are reports that President Trump has had conversations with John Fetterman, has offered him massive financial backing, and Trump's endorsement. Some say: "But Fetterman usually votes with the Democrats." True. But my experience is people change their voting behavior and views when they make the decision to switch sides. Both Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan were Democrats at one point. Reagan famously said: "I did not leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me. I consider myself to be a JFK-style Democrat. ... I think John Fetterman is coming to the same realization.

There was a definition of DEI recently, it has to do with torturing the language
Diversity = Only our opinions and ideas since your ideas are exclusive and it is bad to be exclusive.
Equity=Marxism, when it doesn't mean confiscation because you are mean and that is OK because you are guilty of not being a Marxist
Inclusiveness = cancelling and destroying any countering voice because drowning out any opposition is how the ideas that support our point of view can spread unhindered.

Something happened to Fetterman when he was in that hospital for what, a month, right? I'm trying to remember. He went in looking like he was to the left of Bernie and came out... as the Senator most likely to flip to the republicans. What changed?

Now or soon? No, as I think Fetterman loves his wife and kids & understands the potential lunacy they would face.
But I think he'll be back. And do watch Shapiro's play first.

Of all the Democrats in all the country, Fetterman was the least one I would've guess to turn out to be not a lunatic.

His support for the Iraq war was positioned as the only thing that mattered, yet Lieberman was there for basically every dumb liberal agenda item. He lined up and voted for ObamaCare, liberals SC justices and judges, tax increases, abortion, etc.
I think fetterman is largely the same in that he's not an antisemite that wants America to lose to iran, so everyone thinks he's some conservative hero.

I want him and the party to inflict maximum damage on each other.
Was Mehmet Oz a shit candidate?
Yes
But it was Fetterman's party that made Sean Parnell's ex's fake allegations of abuse as "very serious issue."
Which you know were serious and not at all made up because it was made in the middle of a custody battle.
And no police report was ever filed.

From everything I can see, Fetterman talks against his party's most odious positions, but his voting record is 100% Democrat-compliant when it counts. He might vote Republican when it doesn't change the outcome; same thing Ron Paul used to do.
If you look at his history before the US Senate, he doesn't look like somebody who's reasonable or has integrity.

For the last few months of his campaign and first fe months in office, it as looking like Giselle was the planned brain behind the Senator, that she would be the actual Senator. She was an illegal alien from Brazil, iirc, so not Senate material.
Guess she lost her role when Fetterman's brain damage broke him free from the oke virus, lol.

Some distance beyond the Straits of Hormuz.
A significant new world motivation now for wiping out the Houthi rebels and the Somali pirates that endanger traffic through the Red Sea route that is an alternative to the UAE Indian Ocean coast. Saudi Arabia already has a pipeline that cuts directly across the Arabia peninsula to the Red Sea. I expect that capacity will increase.

This is a concept very similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. However, instead of a dependence to alcohol, there is an inherent dependence to displaying a lack of intelligence, irony, and jackassery.
This year's theme, "Retarded Together", shows nuance and forethough. But, this year's event had it's obstacles. Some enterprising member of the serving staff had a laser pointer, and many of the outfits were damaged as participants chased the small light dot throughout the dining area destroying the placenta crepe display.

Saw a video of a Matt Walsh I think saying Rock or Rock and Roll is dead (been thinking that for a while). Anyhoo, he lamented that there is really not much of a shared culture anymore. Maybe the superbowl, but he said that 78 million Americans tuned into Ed Sullivan to see the Beatles in 1964. Can't imagine anything like that happening now. But if this is our culture I think I'll sit it out for a while.

A Spanish man employed by an anti-squatting company—tasked with legally recovering homes stolen by illegal occupiers—was set upon by a mob of Dominican immigrants and stabbed 11 times. He remains in critical condition.

Toronto Star, The Met Gala has been infiltrated by tacky billionaires, an affront to both good taste and eat-the-rich activists
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos are the gala’s controversial lead sponsors, threatening to tarnish Anna Wintour’s carefully curated legacy.
But what did that $42 million dollars raised go to? Anna Wintour's legacy.
As Page Six reported, tickets for the extravaganza, which raises money for the Anna Wintour Costume Center at the Metropolitan Museum, this year cost $100,000, while a full table started at around $350,000. Wintour raised a record-breaking $42 million with this week’s event.

I wonder how much any of them donate to charities? And I mean real charities, such as food pantries, pregnancy resource centers, or missionaries. But would entail actually seeing the poors as human persons.

Left-wing Terrorist Set Fire to the Palisades to Honor the Democrats' Murderer-Hero, Luigi Mangione
The Party of Plunder... and Murder.
He murdered 12 people and caused hundreds of billions of damage. More at Instapundit.
Alleged Palisades arsonist became 'fixated' with Luigi Mangione, said blaze started 'out of resentment of the rich': prosecutors The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become "fixated" on Luigi Mangione in the lead-up to the deadly blaze -- and then allegedly suggested the inferno was started out of "resentment of the rich," prosecutors said. Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, was obsessed with the accused health care CEO killer and had routinely searched "free Luigi Mangione" and "lets take down all the billionaires" online, court documents show. In the weeks and hours before allegedly sparking the blaze that triggered the catastrophic Palisades Fire, Rinderknecht -- who worked as an Uber driver -- ranted to customers about Mangione's arrest, too. "Many of defendant's Uber passengers on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, described defendant as angry, intense, driving erratically, and ranting about being 'pissed off at the world' and Luigi Mangione, capitalism, and vigilantism," prosecutors noted in a trial memorandum. When asked why someone would ultimately set the blaze, Rinderknecht allegedly responded that it "would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as 'we're basically being enslaved by them' and compared such an act of 'desperation' to the murder for which Mangione was charged," according to the memo.
This should hit a bit different now that court documents show the fire Burr was talking about was set by another Luigi Mangione fan. Bill promoted the exact ideology that led to 12 being killed & sucked up to the Dems for their crappy response https://t.co/6gABtZ7KtX

They claimed they found Bootsy dead beside a pot of boiling water and the neighbors wearing aprons which lead them to believe they planned to eat Bootsy."

In Oregon employers are required to provide insurance for any full time employee, so a lot of employers have few full time employees and a lot of employees that work 30 or so hours a week. And to make ends meet they get to work multiple jobs, some working 60 hour weeks with no overtime pay.
Because the State of Oregon, as embodied by the Governor, Legislature and Judiciary love them and want them to not be treated as slaves.

I can answer that. LAFD first wanted to bulldoze the burn area but were ordered not to because of the presence of an endangered weed. That's right, and endangered...weed...
They then wanted to post a shovel crew overnight, but were ordered out of the area because the county didn't want to pay for OT.
The arsonist started the fire, that much is clear. If there were any adults running LA instead of commies and lesbos, he'd be looking at a misdemeanor and a fine, after pleading down the arson charge...
Posted by: Joe Kidd at May 06, 2026 05:03 PM (nbLIj)
Bullshit.
Wealth in America is a mix of:
What you started with
Luck
Your ability to generate value for other people
For any rich or poor person you can find a mix of these factors. Leftists pretend only the first two matter...which is why socialist societies stagnate.
And in fairness on the right I think we sometimes ascribe too much to the last point
But most importantly from the perspective of society if you make sure people are well rewarded for generating value - few regulations, low taxes - then society gets more goods and services.
This is almost a Pascal's wager type thing. Assume most fairly gotten wealth (eg not government grifting) is the result of hard/smart work and everyone will be wealthier for it. Assume that it is all luck and stealing from the poor and we will all be poorer

Friend who's very experienced retired CalFire confirms that the crews who followed up on initial fire didn't do SOP (i.e. they effed up, big time). This was the fire set by the insect under discussion.
And there's a lot of ignorance and false understandings about the fire. Much of it took place under conditions where the only "tactic" is evacuation, there is no "fighting" it. And circumstances were a perfect storm of sorts for that area. Huge excess demand for water, all at the same time, modern plumbing (every property with plastic piping becomes a "leak"), and up-slope location of much of the area = serious water resource issue.
The politicos and voters are variously just as absurd, unfit, stupid, and vile as they appear. But the fire story goes far beyond them.

The FBI Raids the Home and Offices of the Virginia State Senator Pro Tempore Louise Lucas on Suspicions of Corruption
Were there any signs she might be involved in crime or corruption? Well, she owns a string of pot dispensaries.
Oh, and she's a black female Democrat with a triple layer of Anti-Accountability Armor. So no, no signs at all. Selling legalized weed -- which she campaigned for and voted for as a senator -- wasn't enough. She also sold illegal weed.
"Two people familiar with the case said the search was related to an investigation opened during the Biden administration that has continued, examining possible corruption and bribery related to marijuana dispensary businesses."
I wonder if JackStraw knows her. He enjoys the Wacky Weed so he is probably best friends with the so-called "420 Grandma." All these Potties have each other on speed-dial. Speed dial more like weed dial, amirite A report from Tony Sergura:
FBI agents--armed with multiple federal search warrants signed by a judge--are raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas, the Democratic powerhouse, first Black woman in that role, Finance Committee chair, and architect of the state's aggressive 10-1 redistricting map. Federal sources tie it to a major corruption investigation. The warrants extend next door... to the Cannabis Outlet she co-owns--the very dispensary this self-proclaimed "420 Grandma" championed while co-sponsoring legalization and blurring the lines between legislator and cannabis entrepreneur. Lucas, a close ally of CIA plant Gov. Abigail Spanberger and a force in Virginia politics since 1992, once dismissed U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner as "cucks in the corner" while engineering her party's electoral firewall. Irony doesn't get more poetic. Power's intoxicating brew--redistricting dominance, business interests in cannabis (with past reports of mislabeled high-THC products), and care facilities--now meets the cold scrutiny of federal law enforcement."Care facilities"? Oh no-- isn't that Democrats' favorite vehicle for pillaging the public funds? And indeed, not only does this illicit drug dealer own pot stores, she also runs a facility for the mentally retarded. And she just happens to be in charge of regulating her own easily-abused business. And, get this, she proposed and then voted for a special payment bump for her own business.
But Lucas presents the Senate with an issue. The close alignment of her private business and her public obligations and authorities raises issues of public perception and Senate integrity. For 28 years, she has operated a business, Lucas Lodge LLC, that provides Medicaid-funded services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She serves and has served for years on two committees that are completely intertwined with her business:Although people are talking mostly about her pot business, I bet the more serious corruption charges will involve pilfering Medicaid money. It's the Democrats' main business at this point. Update:The situation remains, at best, awkward for the Senate. It just got worse. This year, Sen. Lucas is the patron of the Senate Budget Bill (SB-30), which amended the baseline budget submitted by Gov. Youngkin. Item 291 #4s in that bill, Developmental Disability Waiver Rates for Selected Services, will specifically increase Lucas Lodge's Medicaid payments above the baseline. Sen. Lucas's budget bill passed her committee and the Senate floor. SB 30 will be the starting point for the Senate in the upcoming Special Session negotiations that she will lead. We'll see what happens.
The Senate Committee on Education and Healthcare (since 1994) oversees the regulator of her business, the Department of Behavioral Health and Disability Services (DBHDS), and the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), also known as Virginia Medicaid, and writes the laws with which Lucas Lodge must comply.
The Senate Committee on Finance and Appropriations (since 2008 ), of which she is now chair, funds the operations of both agencies and Virginia Medicaid, which, as indicated earlier, pays Lucas Lodge for services.
she also runs a facility for the mentally retarded. Yep. The VA Senate. Posted by: Mr Aspirin Factory

They even admit the investigation has been going on for 3 years, long before Trump’s current term, over evidence she solicited or accepted bribes.
Even then they immediately pivoted and let TDS take over: “Trump’s ally was pushing charges… good for the White House before midterms…”
This is the same network that cheered every Trump indictment that is now clutching pearls over a Democrat facing a years-long corruption probe.
The double standard is exhausting.
TBH, I'm surprised it took them as long as it did to invoke Trump.

The best part about it is, none of it fixes a damn thing. It only covers up the malady. The pain may go away, but it's temporary. You'll have to deal with it again, later.
Crutches don't fix anything. They only provide a temporary relief. The problem is still there.

It was perfect. You had to jump through hoops, and there was stigma; so even though realistically any dedicated weed enthusiast could get his "weed card" from the anxiety and depression caused by weed deprivation, that wasn't something that Becky and John in the suburbs did.
So, the "lifestyle" potheads got customized strains from concierge growers, which kept them away from the polymorphic criminality of street dealers looking to grow business by adulterating their product with something more addictive, or by getting their customers turning tricks (or both). Nice hippy chicks not otherwise good at business found productive work as medical weed growers. And no one else got sucked in.
Posted by: SciVo at May 06, 2026 03:58 PM (Sy6m/)
The dirty little secret is that the majority of "legal" weed sold in legal pot stores is ... illegal.
Most of the product sold in legal stores was shipped in under the radar from California. No taxes, no regulations, just a straight-up drug deal.
The government oversight of the "legal" weed industry is basically non-existent. It's Thunderdome.

Not just in the legal pot stores. About 10 years ago, the guy who owned virtually all of the legal pot grow operations and dispensaries in Santa Barbara was busted driving a box truck full of weed. Busted driving in Oklahoma.

Has the opposite effect on me. I'm more sensitive to every stimuli when stoned so when I had inguinal hernia surgery in 2020, I went a month without using. OTOH, the -done stopped me up (as opioids do) which is not a good thing when you just had a mesh implanted down there but the trade off for pain relief (and it was pain) was worth it.

Virtually anything that has a measurable pharmacological effect is going to be useful for SOMETHING. Might not be what one thinks it is though, and often times there are other, more traditional drugs that are better at the job, with less chance of side effects that are worse than the original malady.

It also helps that people can now smoke the right kind of weed for the high they want.
If you want to macrame yourself into your sofa, Indica.
If you like to stay awake but also high, Sativa.

And in the same county you have Helios Dayspring, who is/was serving two years in a federal prison for bribing a San Luis Obispo County supervisor and the supervisor ended up dead from a cocaine overdose.

Posted by: Heroq at May 06, 2026 04:13 PM (5Yz+T)
Like any vice (and it is a vice), it can be relatively harmless or incredibly destructive. Where's the threshold that takes it from occasional to compulsive? I suspect, because it's essentially unregulated, that for pot, it's lower than for alcohol. That's based on no evidence at all, by the way.
And who does the effect of a destructive vice fall on hardest? The poor. That's why the Democrats don't really care about the poor. Because they push policies destructive to them.

But--I'm 50 years older, too.
Seriously, the days when a bag of plain old pre-paraquat Mexcian cost $15 were the days when young people COULD smoke a lot and still get to class, do their work and laundry, have a part time job, and so on.
But some young people today not only smoke ultra engineered purplefuzzed gold-bleeding-bud whammy, they need a support group the size of the planet just to halfway function.

There has to be a nexus between the job and the drug policy. You can’t just arbitrarily test everyone - if it’s safety sensitive, you have to define that and most likely your admin staff isn’t going to fall under that umbrella. Security clearance work is something all together different.

Justin Baldoni Settles With Amber Heard 2.0, Claims He Paid Her Zero Dollars and Is Very "Pleased" With the Outcome
Subhed: Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
Before getting to that, I wanted to mention a story that broke a few weeks ago, but I didn't figure you'd care all that much. But I think it's semi-important in that it seems to indicate that Hollywood bitches and bastards routinely employ "crisis PR firms" to plant and spread disgraceful, wholly invented defamations against people they're trying to wheedle money (or credit, or power) out of. AI Summary:Rebel Wilson's crisis PR team, specifically identified as The Agency Group (TAG), has been deeply involved in legal controversies surrounding the production of her 2024 film The Deb.Rebel Wilson played "Fat Amy" in the Pitch Perfect movies, and was also in Bridesmaids as the weird roommate. She went on Ozempic and lost some weight, and I guess is now trying to move from supporting comic relief actress to leading lady.
Leaked audio and court documents from March and April 2026 revealed that team members allegedly planned a "heavy" smear campaign against producer Amanda Ghost. Key Details Regarding the PR Team (as of April/May 2026): The Agency Group (TAG): This crisis firm, which has worked with other high-profile figures, was allegedly hired by Wilson in 2024 to manage disputes with The Deb producers. Key Individuals: Leaked audio allegedly captured digital fixer Jed Wallace instructing publicist Melissa Nathan to paint producer Amanda Ghost as a "madame" and "sex trafficker" to ruin her reputation."Digital fixer"? I take that to mean someone employed to smear people online.
Internal Communication: In a revealing, court-referenced text message, a TAG employee described Rebel Wilson as "f---ing nuts," as reported in People.Yeah I got that sense.
Allegations of Smear Sites: Court documents in Sydney and California allege that Wilson directed her team to launch malicious websites (e.g., "AmandaGhostSucks.com") that claimed producer Amanda Ghost preyed on young women.All these people know is making up defamations about pedophilia about their enemies to gain power or extract wealth.
Denial of Involvement: While these leaked recordings and messages have surfaced, Rebel Wilson has denied in court that she authorized the smear campaign against her colleagues. Previous Legal Representation: The team was previously associated with high-profile Hollywood lawyer Bryan Freedman, who has represented other celebrities in crisis cases.Coincidentally, I'm sure, Bryan Freedman's clients include Tucker Carlson and Me-Again Kelly. Apparently he's now representing Justin Baldoni against Blake Lively.
The scandal is part of a larger, ongoing Australian defamation lawsuit (April/May 2026) brought against Wilson by actress Charlotte MacInnes regarding these same disputes.So, is this just Hollywood SOP? And did the Democrats' symbiotic relationship with Hollywood normalize the idea of just making up the Pee-Pee Dossier? Did Obama's palling around with Hollywood cocksuckers convince him it was okay to weaponize the obviously-fake dossier, because that's just how the game is played? As you might know -- or might also have completely tuned out -- fading low/mid-level TV actress Blake Lively decided that she wanted ownership over a would-be romance movie franchise. The movie made good money for a romance, and there are other books to adapt, so it's a valuable bit of IP. So she made up a raft of apparently-false defamations against the franchise's producer/director/owner (well, he owns the film rights to the book series it's based on) accusing him of sexual harassment. The object of this seemingly-fabricated defamation campaign was to pressure him to turn over control of the series to her. She filed a (seemingly false) lawsuit against him, leaked news of that lawsuit to friendly media outlets, and got her fancy Hollywood friends like Taylor Swift and her douchebag husband Ryan Reynolds to join the crusade against this man. He filed retaliatory lawsuits in return, alleging defamation. A judge dismissed most of the counts against Baldoni, but three survived. And now all lawsuits have been dismissed, with Baldoni apparently winning the settlement.
And now... Blake Lively's career as a low to mid level actress is almost certainly over. She'll be doing guest spots on TV shows, or maybe "star" in Hallmark movies. She has badly damaged the household's breadwinner Ryan Reynolds, who no longer has the reputation of being a semi-relatable cool brah actor, but now just seems like another mercenary douchebag who has escaped consequences all of his life because of the accident of charm. All because she craved ownership of something that just didn't belong to her. I wonder what firms Candace Owens is employing to cause so much emotional distress to Erika Krik that she hands over the organization her husband founded and nutured to that black Nazi grifter and psychopath.
Blake Lively Received Zero Compensation in Justin Baldoni Settlement: Report
Lively still has a pending motion for attorneys' fees and damages stemming from Baldoni's failed defamation lawsuit
No monetary compensation was reportedly exchanged in the lawsuit settlement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. TMZ, Variety, and other outlets confirmed the news. Lively still has a pending motion for attorneys' fees and damages stemming from Baldoni's dismissed defamation suit against her. ... The news arrives a day after Lively and Baldoni settled their legal battle tied to their film, It Ends With Us, avoiding a trial that was scheduled to begin on May 18 and expected to last six to eight weeks. At the time, Rolling Stone learned that Baldoni was especially pleased with the outcome. The contentious legal fight dates back to Lively's 2024 claims that Baldoni and Wayfarer fostered a toxic, sexually charged work environment that discriminated against women on the set of It Ends With Us. Lively also accused Baldoni and the film's producers of engaging in a campaign to smear her reputation. Baldoni countersued Lively for $400 million, accusing her of defamation, though the suit was later dismissed. He also sued The New York Times for defamation over their story that broke the news of Lively's original sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni -- that suit was also tossed out. Earlier this month, a judge dismissed 10 of Lively's 13 claims -- including allegations of sexual harassment -- meaning the trial was set to center on retaliation and breach of contract. Prior to the settlement on Monday, lawyers for both sides argued over the admissibility of expert witness testimony, with a focus on those tied to Lively's claims that she suffered between $39 million and $143 million in losses from the dispute surrounding the film. Baldoni's lawyers countered, arguing Lively's work history didn't support such estimates, and that the four films she'd appeared in over the past eight years had brought her earnings of roughly $21 million.

The quote refers to "young women." That is code for legal-age women -- probably in their 20s -- that the author wants you to think are underage because it's more inflammatory.
I've long assumed that, unless an actual age of 16 or under is specified, that any references to "young women," "young ladies," "teenagers," or even "girls" means that the female in question is of legal age, but they want you to think that she is not.

The plan belongs to retired police officers and firefighters. LEOFF Plan 1 was 160% funded as of June 2024 per the state's own actuarial valuation. It had not required a single contribution in 25 years. By 2029 it was projected to reach 200% funded with a $4.3 billion surplus.
The legislature terminated the plan, swept $3.9 billion, and is using $880 million of it to refill a rainy day fund it already drained to cover a deficit it created.

Here you go!
From thegatewaypundit...
For once, the issue at hand wasn’t what people wore (or didn’t wear), but rather the way people were being described.
If you’ve given any modicum of attention to this year’s Met Gala, you’ve no doubt heard about Aariana Rose Philip, a runway model who recently signed with a major modeling agency.
This decrepit culture instead focused on four things almost exclusively: Philip is black, transgender, someone who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, and the first such model to sign with a major agency.
And now Democratic 2028 Presidential Frontrunner!!

People wearing lovely clothes. It is a fund raiser for the Fashion part of the Met. This was the theme for this year:
"The 2026 Met Gala, held on May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, revolves around the theme “Costume Art”, which is tied to the museum’s spring exhibition of the same name. This theme explores the relationship between fashion and the human body, pairing garments with artworks from the Met’s collection to highlight how clothing functions as a form of artistic expression across history and how artistic representations of the body influence fashion, and vice versa."
So, yes, most of them will look very strange.

“In section four…this is on page two of the bill….”
“It says, ‘The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.’”

Reynolds doesn't own a cellular/wireless company. He owns a glorified dropshipping internet business. There's only three large cellular companies, ATT Wireless, Verizon and T-Mobile. And a few small, mostly rural carriers.
Everyone else runs on the Big Three's backbones. Reynolds' company runs on the T-Mobile backbone. They buy huge blocks of bandwidth from the biggies at a discount, then remarkets the bandwidth at whatever price they can support that undercuts the biggies while still providing them a profit.
The fine print on the resellers' websites will tell you which backbone they use.

Title: English Longbow
Weapon dominating medieval battlefields.
In the muddy fields of 14th- and 15th-century Europe, English and Welsh archers turned the tide of battles with a simple but deadly weapon: the English longbow. Made from yew wood and standing about six feet tall, these powerful bows could send arrows over 200 yards with enough force to pierce armor. Trained archers could loose up to 12 arrows per minute—devastating against charging knights.
Craftsmen shaped each bow from carefully selected yew staves, pairing the heartwood’s strength with sapwood’s springiness. Archers practiced from boyhood, as English law required weekly training. The visceral reality at battles like Agincourt in 1415: thousands of arrows darkened the sky, sticking into mud, horses, and plate armor, turning French charges into chaos. Archers even planted sharpened stakes to stop cavalry.
This weapon reshaped warfare and society. Common farmers and yeomen became feared soldiers who could defeat armored nobles, weakening old feudal ideas. Victories brought pride and some social mobility to archery families.

From 2020-2024 the entire left told me only crazy conspiracy theorists believed that any number of our elites were involved in sex trafficking or pedophilia.
Then Trump won the election. Suddenly not only were the larger arguments about the Epstein operation true, but all sorts of right leaning figures were actually involved.
Now, the real takeaway here is they think the Epstein claims were effective politically, and they want to use them against MAGA. But the amount of 180s on this are stunning.
Steven King for example tweeted there were no Epstein clients and only dumb yokels thought there were and yet a few months later he tweeted Trump was an Epstein client...

Yes. Those cities voting 90-10 donk are very helpful when you can pull in a bunch of lower population 60-40 R suburbs to dilute them, but it is just as easy to divide the cities into chunks to give to larger suburb districts as well.
Now one interesting part of this - most of the vote fraud comes from those cities. If the Rs do a good job in redistricting and it no longer matters that half of the votes in the cities are fake I wonder if the Dems will stop doing it?
The thing to watch for would be much lower turnout in those cities...

She was pretty good in the otherwise completely stupid and ridiculous Rhythm Section. It was a vanity project for her even then. They made her dowdy and glamour-free so she could emote and emote and emote. But then someone must have said "hey wait, nobody cares about Blake Lively unless she takes her clothes off." So they added some odd, stuck-in scenes where she shows off her real assets.

When the texts started flying I read as they involved Taylor Swiftboat. Things came to a thudding end for Lively a couple of weeks ago when many of the accusations were dropped.
She's married to a guy who has leetle simian eyes too close, like cyclops. Who made bajillions before they married...gasp...on a PLANTATION. Which I could care less about.
What I don't like about the mean girl is her attitude (and clothes). Also the facial mole but that's beside the point. Her and Ryan's "acting" are the same. I refuse to watch either in any movie from now til the end of time. She's done, don't know about Beady Eyes McGoo.
Baldoni? He seems ok to me. Married to a much prettier lady that Fakely. He had video proof as well of her little take overs. One involving her "surprise" kiss not in the script.
Internet rumors were that since she sleeps with many of her costars he was not caught in her web. Ego crushed she lied to mighty Ryan and it all began.
If you are being sexually harassed you don't force yourself on the guy, amirite? Or woo him with texts mentioning "no teeth" for her bj's skill.

She's also a tall & big boned woman from what I can tell. He had the right to ask that with his back issue vs her going loco about it.
She also was very rude (I know this from when this started) in an interview with a European woman who made a comment about her baby bump. Which was not a state secret at the time. Incredibly rude and snotty.
This couple really thought they were above everyone & untouchable.
The video of her wrestling with her parachute dream gown last night caught her bossing around about 5 men trying to help the wench.
It snowballed from there, I guess. However she bragged to Swift & others about "taking over" the movie (which I won't see). Her wardrobe choices (hideous on the movie). Trying to get rights to the spin off that won't happen. She and Ryan tried and failed to ruin Baldoni. At an awards show she had him and his family be in the basement or another floor to not outshine her.
She's a B word and it ain't beautiful.

The thing about Ms Lively that told me what she was involved the photo shopped Mother's day picture of Princess Catherine before she announced she had cancer. Ms Lively mocked her soundly, in several different instagrams (? tiktok? I have no idea how these people micro aggress others) and when the cancer was announced, said the typical "I'm sorry if you were offended" nonsense. Bless her heart.

Withered Aryan Hooker Me-Again Kelly: Tuq'r and I May Be Losing Our Old Audience, But We're Gaining an "International" Audience of "Young" Muslims and That's Even Better!
She's so stupid she doesn't realize she wasn't supposed to admit that her audience is hemorrhaging Americans and gaining Young Muslim Bots from Clickfarms in Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt.
Me-Again doesn't realize that most advertisers covet wealthy (generally) western audiences, and could give f***-all about Bot Farmers in Lahore.Megyn Kelly is excited about her and Tucker’s new Muslim audience- “he’s defending Islam!” 🥴 pic.twitter.com/cQM0ZLDCba

Me-Again claimed at the TPUSA event shortly after Charlie's murder that she felt a powerful, overwhelming instinct to "protect" Erika Kirk. That instinct lasted two months, until Candace Owens begin insinuating that Erika Kirk was part of the conspiracy to murder her own husband (and also was a lesbian pedophile child sex trafficker). At that point, Me-Again bravely declared that the only criticism being directed at Owens was "about Israel," and therefore she would never, ever honor her "powerful overwhelming instinct" to "protect Erika." After supporting the public Mau-Mauing of a grieving widow -- who is now surrounded by expensive security because Candace Owens' cultists threaten her and her children's lives -- Me-Again now complains about the many "bots" that are flooding her twitter threads.
It happened to Candace, Megyn says.

And then after I pay him he instead decides my roof is fine and instead tears down my deck.

I think a lot of people don’t realize just how easily and cheaply social media numbers can be faked. I just watched a Rick Beato video about whether a particular band’s audience had been completely faked, and while I generally think he was right about the music aspect of it, he seemed to think that Spotify and YouTube numbers can’t be goosed cheaply by bot or human factories.
Spotify I don’t know; if its numbers are based on paid subscriptions, then goosing the numbers will be proportionally as expensive as a subscription. But any free service like YouTube is ripe for automated and semi-automated fraud.

Tucker's never been more than a media Beltway lightweight on substance (this ranks just below generic Beltway lightweight). Somehow watched a speech he gave years ago to some group, some decent humor and etc but idiotic populist (in the dumbest sense) crap on serious subjects.
Apex of it all was the Lavrov interview. Whole thing was hyped/centered on "OMG 2 BIGGEST NUKE SUPERPOWERS AREN'T TALKING TO EACH OTHER!!!! REEEE!! GLOBAL WAR COMING!!!". Tucker asked Lavrov about this. Lavrov's expression was priceless. Savvy vet, he didn't give the "WTF?" look, just calmly said "no, of course we talk all the time". Hilarious.

But Trump also knows when to cut his losses and when nothing more can be gained. He thought he saw a feasible, affordable, and relatively safe chance to bring back Persia if he decapitated leadership and left the people an opening. Didn't happen. But he also saw a way to remind the world why we matter. That has happened.
So, he's got nothing more MAGA for us to gain. Give it a few years, and maybe things change.
It would be different if he wanted us to nation build, but he doesn't. AKA - if he leaves now, that's okay with me, and probably most of his voters.

In the last years of his show he also brought on a lot of alternative media people - the kind of people who are not mainstream, but garner a lot of attention on X (e.g. Curtis Yarvin). He was game to have them on and share their views, which was nice for people who aren't active online and needed a break from the same old cast of characters that are on all of the tv shows.

The truly preposterous kabuki on "Lebanon" is almost the more interesting thing at the moment, incredibly. Always allow for unknown/other considerations, but all attempts to find even a PR excuse for this ridiculous process have failed.

**********************
Feeding his mate and babies.
We have red finch nesting in a hanging basket. The only time the male gets involved is when he feeds babies and the mama bird. The mother bird built the nest. Otherwise he's useless and probably has another bird or two on the side. Sometimes he babysits while mama goes to the feeder for seed (they only eat seeds).
When they fly off I can use my front porch again as my dude has become a bird man. This is his new hobby.
He notes (he has a bird camera on the nest with a solar panel) that mama is looking fat again. I am going to use the front porch if she's going to lay some more eggs. I think we can peacefully get along.

Or it doesn't. I'm sure this conversation is happening a lot. What are we willing to spend/risk and how long are we willing to spend/risk it. By actions so far, it seems they will not put US troops on the ground in numbers to get it. They will also not risk anhilating the Iranian people to get it. So the US is not willing to do anything to get it. There may be many things they aren't willing to do, and they may settle for "promises" as the out if what they ARE willing to do doesn't or seemingly can't accomplish the goal.
Wars don't always go the way you want or expect. And as I've said, every way you hand tie yourself makes you less and less likely to get what you want done.

When I was living in SoCal, there was a small hawk that hung around the building where I worked. He used to hunt rats in the auto parts yard over the fence from the parking area. Once I caught a glimpse of him struggling to fly to the top of a short telephone pole at the fence line, struggling because his ratburger lunch was still alive and bucking like a bronco. Finally got up to the top of the pole and started digging into the rat's abdomen looking for the tasty parts... while the rat was still squirming.

The Long-Awaited Defenestration of the Philosopher Kings
JJ mentioned this but I really wanted to post about it.
I've seen some establishment-oriented "conservatives" using Tuq'r Qarlson and Nick Fuentes and Withered Aryan Hooker Me-Again Kelly as proof that we should never have aligned with "the populists." Nonsense. There are bad apples in every bunch. And in case the establishment pussies didn't notice, it was the populists -- not the establishment c**ts whom no one trusts or respects -- who drove the bad-actor Nazis and Islamists out of the party. Jonah Goldberg and David French and the Bulwark Krue did not exorcise Candace Owens and Ian Carroll from the movement. We did. I mention this because the establishment and populists disagree sharply on one fundamental point of representational governance. The establishment types, like the "journalists" whose good opinion they so desperately crave, falsely believe that they are some really smart customers. No one believes they are smart, except for they themselves. But they are absolutely convinced on this point. They have argued with themselves about how genius they are and they won that argument with themselves, because they're so wise and persuasive. This leads to their theory of respresentational governance: We, the stupid people who are incapable of higher-level, abstract, future-oriented thought, have elected these Sages and Philosophers to do our thinking for us. When we elect these c**ts, that is the end of our involvement in the political process. Our further thoughts are not welcome because we are so gosh-darn bad at thinking we would just exhaust the lucid minds of Philosopher Kings with our retarded ramblings. The establishment does not seek our counsel, it only seeks our grant of power to it, One Time, after which they will literally never again check in with us. And I say "One Time" because of the fact -- which may be changing (Spoiler Alert) -- that once an establishment c**t has Conned the Rubes into granting them perpetual unchecked power, they essentially have it for life, or until they're found balls-deep inside a 15-year-old boy, because it's very hard to boot an incumbent out of office, particularly in a district or state that is strong for one party. Contrasting with this theory of governance in which the brain-damaged troglodytes of the dirty masses grant power to establishment Philosopher Kings a single time and then let them do what their massively-powerful brains and consciences compel them to do, the brain-damaged troglodytes have a different theory altogether. We don't think we elect these pissant mediocrities to do our thinking for us. We think we've done the thinking ourselves. We think we've done the thinking, and we elect these no-talent, no-accomplishment Student Council Vice Treasurers and Disappointed Theater Kids to heed our thinking and merely do our voting in legislative bodies for us. Now I realize we probably "think" this because our Retard-Brains are glitching and misfiring as usual, but still, we would like to be heard on this point. But, because it's almost impossible to get voters animated enough to vote these self-declared Philosopher Kings out of office in one-party states or districts, the establishment types who believe we've elected them to do our thinking for us been permitted to carry on acting as if we elected them to do our thinking for us, and we have not had any practical, repeatable method of correction and punishment for this grievously false conception of their role in government.Until now, my fellow morons and brain-damaged troglodytes who have no capacity for higher-level thought.
The Philosopher Kings serving as state representatives and senators in Indiana, which, let's face it, is the government equivalent of a job as Arby's Night Manager, decided that comity with the Democrats and the good opinion of the leftwing media was far, far more important that the voters' decision that redrawing congressional districts was imperative as we close in on the most important midterms in a century. The voters finally got their say. We won't get those lines redrawn, but we will have no representation going forward.
President Trump proved to be a kingmaker in Tuesday night's Indiana and Ohio Republican primaries, where his seal of approval propelled several GOP candidates to landslide victories. In Indiana, Trump's revenge campaign against incumbent state senators who torpedoed his push last year to redraw the Hoosier State's congressional boundaries was largely successful -- with the president's preferred candidates winning five of six contests. "Everyone in Indiana politics should have learned an important lesson today: President Trump is the single most popular Republican among Hoosier voters," Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) said in a statement.I'm not so big on praising Trump here, because I didn't really elect him to do my thinking for me, either. But he's right on this issue and extremely right on the question of disciplining and ejecting arrogant, defiant "representatives."
That, on the other hand, I agree with 100%.
"Indiana is a conservative state, and we deserve conservatives in our State Senate who have a pulse on Republican voters," he added.
... The victories by Trump-backed candidates were decisive.
Trevor De Vries topped Indiana state Sen. Dan Dernulc by a 75%-24% margin; Tracey Powell beat state Sen. Jim Buck in a 65%-35% race; and Brian Schmutzler and Michelle Davis defeated state Sens. Linda Rogers and Greg Walker, respectively, by 18-point margins. The first incumbent taken out by Trump was longtime Indiana state Sen. Travis Holdman, who has been in office since 2008 and is a member of Indiana Senate leadership. Holdman was bested by Blake Fiechter by a 61%-39% margin. At press time, Indiana state Sen. Greg Goode was the only incumbent opposed to redistricting who was able to fend off a Trump-backed primary challenge. Goode defeated Brenda Wilson in the state's District 38 primary, where a third Republican candidate in the race, Alexandra Wilson, received about 10% of the vote. The White House had pressured Alexandra Wilson to get out of the race ahead of Tuesday's primary, reportedly over concerns her candidacy would confuse voters attempting to cast ballots for Brenda Wilson.

@willchamberlain 15h The base isn't stupid. Rule #1 of being a Republican officeholder: do not weaken your own voters' electoral power. Some Indiana State Senators thought they were clever and didn't have to obey this rule. They will be private citizens shortly.
Indiana has a sore loser law. They can't run after losing a primary.

Or imagine an analogy. I hire a man to replace my roof. He agrees to it and gives me a basic layout of what he is going to do.
And then after I pay him he instead decides my roof is fine and instead tears down my deck.

We'd rather complain about the do-nothings in DC than the active corruption going on in Indianapolis.

The truly amazing thing is that RINO barnacles like Travis Holdman simply can't accept that we, the people, have the sheer effrontery to kick him to the curb. It's taken as a personal insult, which I suppose it is, and a sign that we really shouldn't have any role in governance, since we're obviously too stupid to recognize his incandescent brilliance.

It would take an immaterial amount of money (for a national political organization) to push a state party hard to the right.
A few million bucks in signs, and suddenly name recognition for the challengers to the 10 most left GOPers in the state house is greater for those in the state house.
The state just took out something like 20% of its GOP state senators in one night.

The constitution firmly states who the owners of this government are. It’s not Trump, nor anyone else. It’s all of us.
The reason Trump has been so successful is he’s going a simple thing. He’s driving an agenda that is unquestionably the will of a vast majority of the people who elected him. Imagine that.

Now, why would they all fight an audit in such lock step? There is really only one reason...because they know what would come out...

But they crowed for decades, so proud, that they drove the Birchers out of the Republican Party.
The Birchers were kooky. But they were right about the commies.
However, their eager and decades-long embrace of the corporatist, phony-centrist-but-really-liberal class was far, far more damaging to the country than even the worst the Birchers could have done.

A top Virginia Democrat's office has been raided by the FBI in a dramatic anti-corruption investigation.
Virginia Senator Louise Lucas watched stunned as agents tore through her office - as well as a neighboring cannabis dispensary she co-owns in Portsmouth, around 20 miles west of Virginia Beach, on Wednesday.
The FBI raid is linked to a 'major corruption probe,' Fox News reported, adding that the bureau is 'serving multiple search warrants, approved by a federal judge, at her office and a next-door cannabis dispensary.'
Lucas, 82, the highest ranking member of the Virginia Senate as President Pro Tempore, was captured arriving on the scene as the FBI searched her office, per a live broadcast from the event.
Lucas told reporters on the scene that she did not know the reason for the raid.
Lucas was a key advocate of Virginia's 10-1 congressional map redistricting push.

Well....
It's not that we shouldn't align with the populists, it's that we shouldn't base our platform on populism. Because what the majority of the people believe or feel at any one moment may be transitory and/or wrong. "The people" are not always right - as a matter of fact, in a place where the populace is easily swayed, the people are usually wrong.
Your better bet is to have a set of principles - preferably ones that haven't changed "with the times" - against which you hold up policies, opinions, and events, and judge them. Then you go about convincing the people about the correctness thereof. THEN you get that majority to vote to do (or not do) something.
It's the major problem with our government today. We keep talking about accountability. But our system is designed to have the people do the accountability. And they (some important portion) just aren't interested anymore.

@MarioNawfal
🇩🇰 Copenhagen's Green-led council is limiting elderly care residents to 80 grams of beef per week for climate reasons.
That works out to 11.4 grams a day, which is less meat than most people put in a single taco.
A Green party rep explained the logic: the elderly "have been the biggest climate sinners throughout their lives."
So the plan is apparently to make them atone for it in their final years, one thimble of mince at a time.
Critics, including opposition parties and elderly advocates, say the policy risks undernutrition in a population already vulnerable to it.
The council says it's flexible, but the elderly eating climate penance for dinner might disagree.

Ace he had a chance to be consequential. I think that diving into the election certification issue is part diversion, and part revealing.
We now know all the subversive things that were going on at the time about which Trump and some around him knew were true. You can’t call it anything but a coup attempt. And yet, here’s Pence firmly aligning himself with the corrupt institutions of our government making an attempt to undermine it.
Go back and look. Pence had no curiosity about it. No real resistance in fact he more so aligned with the corrupt forces who undermined the election and POTUS without any hesitation. Ergo He was complicit by his lack of introspection, forceful expression of support, or at least the need to investigate. He walked the political line to save his own skin. Had it not been for people like Nunes, Jordan and others, plus Trump’s persistence , we could have lost this country and Pence by his lack of courage would have been one reason.

Critics, including opposition parties and elderly advocates, say the policy risks undernutrition in a population already vulnerable to it.
The council says it's flexible, but the elderly eating climate penance for dinner might disagree.

Sadly, Ace, that's EXACTLY what a goodly portion of our electorate does. They WANT to have responsibility removed from their shoulders. They want to be made safe and kept so. They want airbags and lane change notifiers and automatic headlights and cruise control that keeps them from running into the car right in front of them. It's why so many want AI - they want to ask a question and be told an answer by an infallible computer so they don't HAVE to employ their brains.
This is the big fight. Not over which party is in power or which sort of court is arguing over immigration. The big fight is convincing our fellow Americans to get off their laurels start taking responsibility for their lives and, particularly, their government.

The sequel trilogy did $4.47B at the box office. Force Awakens $2.07B, Last Jedi $1.33B, Rise of Skywalker $1.07B. The merchandise tells a different story.
Star Wars merchandise peaked at $700M in 2015 when Force Awakens launched. By 2019, the year Rise of Skywalker shipped with a billion-dollar marketing push as the supposed finale of the Skywalker Saga, Hasbro's Star Wars line was doing roughly $150M. A 70%+ collapse during the trilogy's own theatrical run.
Then 2020 happened. No new movies. A streaming show legally unavailable in most international markets. Hasbro's Star Wars revenue grew 70% year-over-year. One character named Grogu outsold three years of sequel-trilogy merchandise.
The sequel cast specifically can't move inventory at any price point. Rey, Finn, Poe, Rose, Holdo: Walmart clearance for years. Diamond Select's president said sales on TFA and TLJ products "were not too strong." Hasbro silently stopped producing Rise of Skywalker figures mid-line. There is no mass-market action figure for Poe, Finn, Lando, unmasked Kylo, Palpatine, or Leia from that movie. The licensees gave up.

Copenhagen's Green-led council is limiting elderly care residents to 80 grams of beef per week for climate reasons.
____________
No, it's for money reasons. Useless eaters need to be exterminated.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at May 06, 2026 01:05 PM (HdYcL)
Its for money reasons, but limiting the nursing home residents to one about 3 oz serving of beef a week is not exterminating them, they may just be using cheaper sources of protein than beef. The work cafeteria rarely serves beef anymore, lots of chicken and some pork. We pay for the meals but they probably don't want to charge extra very often to cover the cost of having beef so they buy the cheaper meats. They always have a tofu or other vegan protein option as well, which don't sell very well even in the peoples republic of Boulder.

"Turner once called observers of Ash Wednesday 'Jesus freaks', though he apologized, and dubbed opponents of abortion 'bozos'.
"In 1999, Turner made a joke about Polish mine detectors when asked about Pope John Paul II.
In 2002, Turner accused Israel of terror: 'The Palestinians are fighting with human suicide bombers, that's all they have. The Israelis ... they've got one of the most powerful military machines in the world. The Palestinians have nothing. So who are the terrorists? I would make a case that both sides are involved in terrorism.'
"Turner also said in the interview that he advocated Americans having no more than two children. In 2010, he stated that China's one-child policy should be implemented."

Wednesday Morning Rant
Like the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs, we're having an outsized impact. In the case of climate, we are not the dinosaurs. We are the meteor. We are not only in danger. We are the danger. But we are also the solution.
-- Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations; June 5, 2024 Like most "world leaders" - and all of the globalist and large NGO leaders - Guterres aspires to be a Bond villain. The arrogance and histrionics aside, Guterres and those like him are in essence very easy to understand: they are tyrants. The hubris and hysteria are an act in the service of increasing their power and control. They do not do it themselves. Their fortunes are delivered by the small-time locals who move the ball when commanded. Large or small, they believe everyone and everything must be brought to heel to build their utopia. Free expression, free action, individual prerogatives and everything else must not be permitted if they interfere with immanentizing the eschaton.
n the same speech as the one quoted above, Guterres went further and called for the outright destruction of free speech:
I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies ... I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertisingThis is all just so much noise - at least directly - as the BBC points out. The BBC also, however, points out the real purpose of such statements:
Mr Guterres' call for an outright ban on all fossil fuel advertising goes further - but it has no legal standing, and the UN has no means of enforcing the idea.
However, it will be seen as a boost for campaigners who have fought against sponsorship and advertising from coal, oil and gas companies.
Indeed. These were marching orders, and it is why, two years later, the frothing, hysterical shrieking from a faceless and interchangeable UN bigwig is suddenly relevant. Allies and conspirators in the campaign to destroy the fuel of human life never sleep. Every rabid outburst from the front men and every dry, scientifically bankrupt research paper from its academic organs all serve to provide direction to the local apparatchik. Every action helps set the stage for the local operators. We can find an example just this week. The city of Amsterdam is, as the New York Times puts it, "permissive" - but "permissiveness" goes only so far. There are some things Amsterdam frowns upon, so it will protect you from the real menaces of the world: the menaces of meat and oil.
On May 1, Amsterdam became the world's first capital city to ban ads for fossil fuel products and meat. It's part of the city's efforts to discourage consumption of goods linked with high carbon emissions. Ads for airlines, cruises, and faraway destinations are no longer allowed because they implicitly promote the burning of fossil fuels. Ads for beef, chicken, pork and fish are also banned because of the environmental harms caused by animal agriculture.On May Day. Of course. A fitting new law for the day of communist self-aggrandizement. But don't worry - dairy is still protected speech, for now:
... the advertising prohibition was initially written to include all food derived from animals, including dairy. But a compromise was struck to limit the ban to meat products, and it helped secure a majority vote.The very essence of democracy in action! It is not, of course, merely a ban on advertising nefarious products, there is also the requisite propaganda in the opposite direction:
Amsterdam is also pushing its citizens to eat less meat, and has set a goal for residents to get 60 percent of their protein from plant-based sources by 2030. "Because of climate reasons, because of health reasons," said Anke Bakker, a city councilor with Party for the Animals.Amsterdam is not the first. The leading light in this fight was The Hague, which banned energy advertising in 2024, shortly after Guterres' speech. The inevitable lawsuit followed in 2025, and the Dutch travel trade association and various travel agents sued the city. Predictably, they lost - and the judge's reasoning should send chills down the spine of any reader:
It is not up to the municipality to refrain from taking measures to promote the health of its residents in order to strengthen the future position of travel providers.It is not the municipality's role to refrain from censorship. It is not their place to refrain from oppression. Not when it comes to "health" or similar, however tortured to justify the action. And this rationale is particularly ironic in Amsterdam's case. The head goblin who pushed for the new ban, from a party called "GreenLeft," apparently said the following with a straight face:
Ms. Veenhoff likened high carbon lifestyles to an addiction. "If you're trying to get rid of an addiction, it's not very handy to see it everywhere," she said.In the city known the world over for its easy access to drugs and whores, the real risks to health and the true drivers of addiction are meat and energy. The mind fairly boggles. Beware the hysterical hyperbole and absurd demands of the global tyrants. They beat the drum and frame the argument to set the stage for the real villains: petty little communists like Veenhoff, who methodically, one district at a time, implement the schemes to destroy their people's rights - which means, of course, to destroy their people.

If they really believed this, they'd close their borders to third-worlders and then do everything to extract resources out of the third world to limit their ability to grow economically while limited the population that actually uses the resources to the steadily dwindling European population.
Heck, they might even support killing a bunch of third worlders since they keep breeding so much.

Ms. Veenhoff likened high carbon lifestyles to an addiction. "If you're trying to get rid of an addiction, it's not very handy to see it everywhere," she said.
Golly, you sound almost exactly like the weak Muzzies who insisted that children not eat lunches in the school cafeteria during Ramadan because their faith was sooooooo strong that their youths could not adhere to its tenets when face to face with temptation.
And, by the way, the school board (or school) that instituted that ban was in Alberta, the "most conservative" part of Canada.

Remember, all special elections that prove Democratic overperformance are to be considered gospel and all special elections that prove Republican overperformance are considered to be junk.
Your point was GOP voter apathy.
Indiana GOP voters just proved that they didn't have apathy, that they had clear targets and took them out. It directly addressed your blackpilling, but it's not valid because...?
I've been saying for months. Dems will probably win the House. It's just turnout differentials that play out in midterms. Out of power parties just perform better. It happened under Obama. Remember when there were "only Obama" voters? And it happens to a smaller degree under Trump (the 2018 "blowout" saw the GOP gain 3 senate seats).

Yeah, I'm gonna disagree with the above poster. I think Abi and the Dems asked for this, b/c Louise decided to reject EVERY SINGLE Governor change request on the bills and repass them.

This area voted for Trump yuuugely. But turnout is pathetically low for primaries and local elections. For some reason conservatives refuse to vote in them. So left wingers run everything locally. Turnout is 25%, if they get their side out to vote at 50% they win. They figured out they can steal primary races too if they get their side out knowing the right will sit out the “non important” elections.

I cheer that Trump and his team are treating the CC hysteria as the BS that it is instead of trying to be reasonable and gentle with those who fell for the con. But the brainwashed acolytes just view this as "Trump and MAGAs want to kill the planet"
It is a huge mental upheaval when your world view is shown to be false. I remember in 2008 when I realized "no the FNM does not just heavily spin the facts for the Ds, they smother inconvenient facts and make up lies to advance their party." It threw me for a loop and I already knew the media sided with the Dems, I just thought that the desire to have the scoop and be the first to air a story was in play. I didn't realize until 2008-2009 that almost all of the media had an unwritten agreement not to air the wrong kind of stories, or to tattle on their colleagues when a blatant lie was told.

Abi wants to be in charge - that's what she gets. She's gotten rolled by Louise on everything this year (and Abi can stand back and say VA is being targeted by Trump, which makes her more popular).

Let me state this up front because Im inarticulate and boring. Blow me. You want to be arrogant? Right back at you.
You’re on here spouting off things like how the special elections are meaningless. Which defies logic, correlation and probability theory to name a few.
There is always a correlation, which could prove to be meaningless if the factors involved stay the same. But if those factors do not stay the same and change, there may or may not be an impact to the end result. That is, for those of you at home, there could be a pattern or turnout in special elections that somehow correlates into a general election. It could be that it is minute and meaningless to the end result. But there you have it. It’s there. And yet you say without any basis, special elections have no impact on the general. That’s just one for starters. So please, give me a break. You’re hilariously self absorbed for no reason at all.

======
25% turnout is a different electorate than 75% turnout.
If you take all the special elections and do statistical analysis on them...they do not predict the next general election because of the massive change in turnout.
This happens year after year after year.
Let me show you an example:
https://is.gd/oZRAp3
This is the OH-6 special election from 2024.
It showed Republicans underperforming the previous regular election by over 20 points.
Was this predictive of the general a few months later? Of the national environment?
It wasn't. The district went right back to the 2022 levels in Nov of 2024 and Republicans nationally did better in 2024 than 2022.
Why was that not predictive?

My take on many of these special elections is that they just show the base levels of fraud the left can count on.
Why are more Ds votes being registered in the special elections? Because the Ds don't have to actually rouse their voters, they just get the people that submit the stacks of ballots to do so.
This is less effective in elections with higher voter turnout because the lazy Dems and Reps show up and vote and the fake Dem votes are a lower percentage of the final totals.

[Have a co-worker who recently had to stop driving owing to having "eye strokes" that left him legally blind.]
Here's a couple other things I've read recently that provide some future hope in this area:
. A (prosthetic) microchip implanted behind the center of the retina, along with a pocket controller that enables adjustments such as magnification and contrast, in use and continually being developed further: stanfordmag.org/contents/vision-quest
. And a Kim Komando show interview (begins at the 17:33 mark) regarding the use of Smart Glasses for the Vision Impaired: https://is.gd/mdXDST

All I know is that every time the GOP overperforms in a special election, it's an outlier than needs to be dismissed and that every time a Democrat overperforms in a special election it's purely predictive about where we will go for sure.
Two things:
1. Special elections are not predictive. They never have been and they never will be because 15% turnout and 75% turnout are different electorates. The 15 isn't a random sample of the 75 and cannot predict what the 75 will do.
2. I've said for months that I think Democrats will take the House. A minor majority of 5-10 seats. Senate should stay the same, though. Senate elections drive turnout in the states that have them to presidential levels so they reflect PVI pretty closely.

The Japanese also have computerized toilets that instantly analyze your poop, tentacle pron and used panty vending machines.
I like the idea of Japan stepping up to the plate to help contain the ChiComs, but I wouldn't make the mistake of considering them as "normal".
On the other hand, they brought us the ladies of Band Maid, so they can't be all bad.

Putting a parking garage on top of a building requires extra space and material for the access ramp unless you have a handy hill next to your building that you can just bridge from. Japan does have a fair number of hills to build next to.
Putting a parking garage under a building, while it does make the building more vulnerable to terrorist demolition, also maximizes the retail space in the building above it, and if you're dumb enough to build on a flood plain, assists in preventing water damage to said retail spaces.

I wonder what the per-area weight load is for garage space compared to retail, living, or office space. Especially with EVs. Although that raises the question of EV fires which would likely be less dangerous on a top floor than a bottom. Lots of considerations and trade-offs.

This is a good answer, but not terrorism. earthquakes.
The problem with a parking garage on the bottom is that they would have to go around the columns and that is very difficult.
US often build with what is called a "weak story" that collapses in an earthquake from shear load. There is also the problem of height and fire -- fire laws make it difficult to put underneath, and height is limited.

Like C19, I'm becoming more suspicious the intention is actually to nudge residents - the neediest in particular - from NYC to Pennsylvania.
It's been the pattern for decades.
-----
As of early 2026, Pennsylvania continues to be a top destination for New Yorkers looking for a lower cost of living and more space, with the Philadelphia metro area and eastern Pennsylvania remaining popular spots. Driven by high taxes and affordability issues in New York, thousands have made the move and stayed, with some moving to the Keystone State to secure larger homes and a lower cost of living, while retaining relatively easy access to NYC.

Night train-
Delvaux painted this artwork at a time when he felt trapped in a loveless marriage. He wished "to paint boredom, sadness and the desire to get away from it all... There is this nostalgic aspect about waiting rooms where people pass by briefly before leaving... I tried to capture the beauty of the waiting room in an empty station. People are not necessary, for a station has its own life"
According to Christie's, this work is "a powerful poetic expression of the overwhelming sense of paralysis and imprisonment Delvaux was experiencing at the time":
Depicting the stillness and ennui of a station waiting room infused with the languid erotic mystery of a sleeping nude and a lone train pulling into a station, the picture's main subject seems to be the articulation of a terrifying emptiness. The moonlit station clock and the empty gaze of the upright receptionist sitting to attention at her desk, echoed by her reflection in the mirror, seem to emphasize the frozen nature of time and space extending into infinity, while the nude lies bored and restless underneath a bleak sign advertising the endless cycle of arrivals and departures.[1

My hope for America is what it's always been. I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything. Where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity, but frankly it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential.
I think that should be the goal of every country in the world, frankly, but I think in the U.S. we're not perfect, our history is not one of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history; and ours is a story of perpetual improvement. Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer, and that is our goal as well.
But it is a unique and exceptional country, and as we come upon this 250-year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history. It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding.

The IRGC is running Iran now. The IRGC will continue to run Iran until they are taken out violently. The Mullahs are already finished, and those left are IRGC hand puppets.

I learned about Hanoi Jane’s exploits in North Vietnam when I was 13. The war in Nam ended when I was born but damn I found her behavior repulsive even so. I can’t imagine how the actual Vietnam vets feel about the bitch.

Went on our first cruise (to Alaska) a couple years ago. Most of the workers (on Holland America) appeared to be Dot Indian -- even the bartenders. They all spoke English and were polite, good, hard workers.
I got an "indentured servant" vibe, and even though automatic tips were included in the "all-inclusive" price -- I still tipped generously, especially the couple of young men who kept our room clean and never stole anything.

I suppose if it was anyone other than Trump doing it, I would hate it. It's almost always the progressives with their euphemisms and acronyms that are used to hide the true nature of what they are doing/promoting.
However, I enjoy the trolling from Trump. Just imagine the signage at protests - "ABOLISH NICE" "DEFUND NICE" etc..

The Morning Report — 5/ 6/26
Wow, two days in a row that I'm actually starting off with some good news.
President Trump proved to be a kingmaker in the Indiana and Ohio Republican primaries Tuesday night, where his seal of approval propelled several GOP candidates to landslide victories. In Indiana, Trump’s revenge campaign against incumbent state senators who torpedoed his push last year to redraw the Hoosier state’s congressional boundaries was largely successful – with the president’s preferred candidates winning five of six contests. A potential sixth victory for a Trump-endorsed candidate was still too close to call late Tuesday.While this is certainly good news for both the President and the people of Indiana and Ohio, both of those states' Republican parties, have done precious little if anything to move the MAGA agenda forward. As CBD and I noted in the most recent episode of the podcast,
Linked here, in the sidebar and on the usual popular platforms listed at the bottom of this post. the SAVE Act is stalled in Congress and in all likelihood will probably lay moribund if not flatline altogether before long.
This because of a feckless/useless or worse collaborationist GOP, not singling out IN and OH in particular but the Grifting Oleaginous Parasites as a whole.
Establishment Republicans have for more than a month stalled their half-hearted effort to keep their focus on the bill in hopes of convincing enough Democrats to vote for it. Of course, it’s hard to make liberals defend their unpopular stance if you don’t make them defend their unpopular stance. The Federalist reached out to Thune’s office on Monday. No answer on the status of the SAVE America act, which would amend the flawed National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo identification to cast a ballot in a federal election. Majority Republicans could push for an end to the bill-killing filibuster to pass the legislation. Several senators and President Donald Trump have urged Senate leadership to do just that. But they won’t, apparently trusting that Democrats wouldn’t do the same when they control the upper House again.
Adding insult to injury, SCOTUS handed the GOP a once in a multiple-lifetime opportunity to kneecap the Democrats and really help put America back on the track to sanity after decades of Leftist destruction.
. . . there is the landmark redistricting case that the U.S. Supreme Court just decided this week. In Louisiana v. Callais, the court held that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits states and localities from imposing any voting “qualification or prerequisite” that “results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen … to vote on account of race or color,” cannot be invoked to create race-conscious congressional maps — a dubious practice lawmakers had been blithely engaging in for decades. The court correctly held that such race-conscious mapmaking, including the devising of so-called majority-minority districts across many Southern states, runs afoul of the 14th Amendment’s sweeping equal protection guarantee.Now I'll single out Ohio insofar as Governor DeSwine and the state GOP have not done a damn thing to take advantage of the ruling as for example Florida and Texas. And that goes for all the other Republican states that have done nothing to reverse the Democrats' abuse of the VRA that artificially gives them the advantage in the House. Meh, we've been pissing and moaning about the GOP for years, and for the past three national election cycles, for the first time in my life (Ronald Reagan notwithstanding) with Donald Trump at long last we had a candidate that we actually wanted to vote FOR, as opposed to merely showing up to vote Against a Democrat knowing full well that whether Bush, McCain or Romney that they would do nothing to halt let alone reverse the trajectory off the cliff that America has been on for decades. As both CBD and I pondered, is someone like the youthful and driven Nick Shirley merely a one-off or is he reflective of a broader wave of disaffection of the younger generations at the Democrat/leftist/globalist enterprise that is making their future and the future of the nation one of misery and limited possibilities. Of course the academia/media/cultural propaganda complex will cast the blame on Trump, conservatives and America as founded and far too many Americans have been brainwashed into believing it. Somehow despite all that, Trump and the MAGA message broke through and in spite of the pushback, and some setbacks, it is succeeding and has gained a foothold on the road back from the long march through the institutions that have turned the American experiment on its head. Of course Trump cannot restore America on his own and not in just two terms. the road back like the road to hell that got us here will be a generational journey. Only time will tell if we and our progeny can stay the course for the long haul. And to continue and conclude with the positive vibes:
The United States overtook Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest exporter of crude oil over the past nine weeks, as Iran’s attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz choked off Middle Eastern oil shipments. Bloomberg News reported Sunday that the United States shipped more than 250 million barrels of crude oil from its wells and storage tanks to overseas buyers over the past nine weeks, becoming a “lifeline for global consumers.”
In the immortal words of J.D. Clampett WELL DOGGIES!!!! Have a good day!
- AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!
- Hegseth made the statement two days after President Donald Trump launched “Project Freedom” on Sunday. Adm, Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, said Monday that the U.S. destroyed multiple Iranian ships that posed a danger to commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran promptly struck several nearby targets, including attacking the United Arab Emirates, a U.S. ally, for the first time since the ceasefire went into effect on April 8. Iran also reportedly hit a South Korean ship.
Hegseth Insists Iran War Ceasefire Remains Intact Despite Ongoing Attacks
- Graham’s proposal demonstrates that he remains set on trying to topple the Iranian regime, despite evidence that, internally, the country is not as divided as previously thought. While weapons flows could destabilize the country, it remains unclear if it could lead to a successful popular uprising, or merely descend the country into years of bloody civil war, similar to Libya and Syria.
Graham Urges Trump to Arm Iranian Opposition Forces.
- The squeeze is on.
The Blockade is Costing Iran $400 Million a Day in Lost Oil Revenue
- A ceasefire may quiet missiles, but cyberwar rarely pauses; long after diplomats declare peace, hostile actors remain embedded in networks, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Diplomats Can Call a Truce but Hackers Don’t Have to Listen. CIVIL WAR 2.0, LEFTIST PERSECUTIONS, DEMOCRAT PUTSCH, AMERICAN DISSOLUTION - The findings suggest a growing skepticism about America’s role on the global stage, particularly among Democrats, potentially influencing future foreign policy and international relations. The data also highlights the deepening partisan divide in perceptions of international institutions like the UN.
Plurality of Democrats Say U.S. Is a Force for Evil.
- When corporate media and high-profile Democrats elevate alleged vigilante murderers to the status of a Robin Hood sort of hero, they are signaling that political violence can be a form of justice and is therefore justified. . .
Media, Other Dems Invite More Left-Wing Violence By Making Excuses For Killers They Agree With "DEMOCRAT/LEFTIST/GLOBALIST BORDER BLOODBATH," AMNESTY, IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY - Will ICE officially become NICE? Probably not anytime soon. But the mere suggestion has Democrats tying themselves in knots, and that alone is worth it. Sometimes the point of a move isn't to execute it — it's to watch your opponents trip over themselves reacting to it. On that score, this one is already a win.
Trump Dropped an ICE Rebrand — and Democrats Are Absolutely Losing It
- The funding provides critical financial support to law enforcement agencies, enabling them to invest in equipment and personnel without relying solely on local taxpayer dollars. This should allow local police to conduct immigration enforcement and prevent large build-ups of ICE and other federal agents that attract pro-illegal immigrant agitators, as at the protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last year.

I got back last night from my trip to Alexandria to get a new pup, an 8-month old rescue American Eskimo called Luna. She was a stray who came from a kill shelter (and those two words both anger me and rip my heart to pieces). Her foster mother told me she hates men - and she did bark and growl when she saw me - but once I showed her my own Odessa, she suddenly turned on a dime, jumping up and licking my face.
She's a very kissy dog now and Odessa is sulking. I think Luna is making sure this is her forever home and Odessa wonders why the new girl is getting love, but I expect they will both settle down soon.
In any event, I am happy for at least today.

He passed an "emergency EO" the other day. It would (potentially) reduce the tax on gas by 10 cents a gallon. The state AG has to sign off on it. It also freezes the gas tax as a July 1 increase was set to take affect. Another thing in his EO was a freeze on the vehicle assessment increase set to go into effect later this year as well.
All of this is framed as a Trump induced problem.
It's all state induced taxes and planned increases.

He also told the committee that a Biden-Harris climate adviser served on the board of the Coalition for Green Capital, joining in 2023 while the organization was applying for federal funds. He reported, as well, that the Power Forward Communities chief executive ran Fannie Mae during the Obama-Biden administration.

Although he was a tremendous stallion hound, Dutch's temperament was never quite what it should have been for a specials career. It would have been better if he was happy and stupid like his brother Ilya but he could get moody and little things in the ring bothered him. Her Majesty said she had to fight him every time.

It’s because all oil and gas sales, by contract, are now tied directly to market pricing.

Including a "stronk black woman" who's our version of Jazzy Crockett. She'd be a disaster. A former police chief is also in the running. He had the state's first Narcan "vending machine" installed. And was unable to fund refilling it. For a town of less than 5000 people. Narcan. Used to revive addicts who've crashed out. Like the mayor's addicted adult son.

Has there ever been this much attention paid to state senate primary elections in Indiana? It’s ridiculous that people are making a big deal out of this.
The fact that the state senate decided to not redistrict and Trump put so much emphasis on how evil they were. So it is an indicator of how much of Indiana follows Trump vs the party. So far, Trump loyalists have won...although idk if that is surprising.
Dem primary voter participation was very strong. Much stronger than has been the norm. Some of these Trump-backed IN State Senate nominees are going to lose to Dems in November. A couple of these seats are already swingy anyway.

Nothing equals a gas station changing price by .45 a day after the truck delivers. That gas that went into the ground yesterday was bought at a forty five cent cheaper contract last week.
You could apply that to milk on the shelves. Yeah, that gallon was $2.65 yesterday, but because of a storm in the midwest overnight, that jug is now $3.15.

With the caveat of my being an asshole commenter, I did mention last week that if anything costs Trump the midterms, it's gasoline prices. Driving through CT, NY, NJ, MD and VA this weekend, I had a chance to compare my current $4.15 / gal with other states. If the current predictions that prices will drop through the floor after Memorial Day turn out to be wishcasting, POTUS is toast. You and I might vote based on long-term strategic thinking, but most people do not.

I was a radical libertarian as a yute, and (after having cast my first POTUS vote for Reagan at age 19 in 1980) rebranded myself as a political conservative upon reading a subsequent William Safire Op-Ed that simply & clearly described the conservative vs. "liberal" divide at the time:
That conservatives value liberty & freedom over safety & security, and for liberals it's vice-versa.
You can see that divide accentuated today owing to the behemoth Federal Welfare Titty Daddy where the majority of males are conservative & libertarian while the majority of (especially young and/or single) females are

"If you go against that, he will pour his wrath out upon you, and it doesn't typically turn out well."
"Thomas Massie is the one congressional Republican who has been the biggest thorn in Donald Trump's side, they have poured millions into that race, and a lot of people are wondering, could he withstand a challenge from a Trump-backed challenger there?"
"If you look at what happened in Indiana tonight, and you're Thomas Massie tonight, or you're anybody else in a primary right now where Trump's on the other side of you, you got to be thinking, this is a bad night for me."

This is a good link to calculating gas prices.
Put in price of oil per barrel, add $1.45 for refining/shipping/marketing costs, and that is what the theoretical price per gallon should be.
For example $50 per barrel gives a gas price of $2.64, $100 per barrel results in $3.88
Inevitably prices above those come from extra state and local taxes and fees that are added on. In California especially, those can be 50% of the price at the pump.

I'd heard that too, YD.
[Per Brave "AI:"]
"You should not wash fresh chicken eggs before storage because washing removes the egg's natural protective coating, known as the "bloom" or "cuticle." This microscopic layer seals the thousands of tiny pores in the shell, preventing bacteria and air from entering the egg while allowing it to breathe. Removing this barrier significantly shortens the egg's shelf life and increases the risk of contamination."

Graham’s proposal demonstrates that he remains set on trying to topple the Iranian regime, despite evidence that, internally, the country is not as divided as previously thought. While weapons flows could destabilize the country, it remains unclear if it could lead to a successful popular uprising, or merely descend the country into years of bloody civil war, similar to Libya and Syria.

More than 50 members of anti-Putin activist group Pussy Riot stormed the Russian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale International Art Exhibition on Wednesday in their first-ever joint protest with Ukrainian feminist group FEMEN.
The action comes amid a backlash against a decision by the Venice Biennale – which also oversees the Venice Film Festival in September – to allow Russia to host a pavilion as the country continues to wage war against Ukraine.
A press statement released on behalf of Pussy Riot and FEMEN, said the protestors had performed their “Disobey” song, with FEMEN members stepping forward with blue and yellow smoke, Ukrainian flags, and chants.
Yeah, I know no one here gives a crap, but the idea of Pussy Riot just gives me the encouragement I need to focus.

Tech News
- The latest version of Google Chrome has a neat new feature: It installs a 4GB local AI model on your computer without asking or even telling you. (That Privacy Guy)
Now that you know about it, can you delete it?
Yes, if you jump through seven flaming hoops.
Does it stay deleted?
No.
Not only is this a generally bad move, it is probably illegal in the UK and Europe.
Also, on my PC it's only 2.7GB for whatever reason.
- Notepad++ is not out for the Mac. (Ars Technica)
The notepad is a lie.
Tech News
- Lenovo's 5th generation Legion Tab is out now for $849. (Liliputing)
That's with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which is not expandable.
I have the 3rd generation model with the same memory and storage capacity and a slightly lower display resolution. It cost me around $450, making the new model not a bargain I am in a hurry to pick up.
- Microsoft is automatically adding Copilot as an author to Git commits if it occupied the same continental plate as your code at any point. (Heise)
Thanks, Microsoft!
- Moving your systems to a mainframe is now cheaper than using VMWare. (The Register)
And it's not even IBM saying this.
- Google Deep Mind staff in Britain are about to suddenly be laid off due to economic conditions. (Wired) (archive site)
I can see the future. And sometimes even the past. Present is cloudy though.

My next question would be, "And what street or highway is that on?" This flummoxes most people, unfortunately. There is a major expressway that goes around Pine Bluff, the Martha Mitchell Expressway, with clear signs; and yet when I asked locals how to get back to it, they looked like I'd asked little cat Dagny about the life of the Emperor Tiberius.

Getting ready to take Boy F. to see his grandma and her yenta friends in Portland . It is gross how they fawn over him.
They used to fawn over me.

For the same reason, I would advise never reciting the “eeny mean1e m1ny m0” sequence. I thought the racist version was a juvenile delinquent variation of a more benign classic. No, the original version was the malignant version.

And with good road surfaces, even the state highways and county highways.
Kansas had good roads; so did Missouri, at least the Interstate and US highways. Arkansas wasn't bad until I got south of Little Rock, but the I-55 in MS was good. The moment I crossed the state line into Lousy-ana, though, my car looked back at me and said, "Boss, do we *hafta* do this?"

I didn't even try to challenge this. Instead I just nodded and went "Oh really. Interesting. I didn't know that."
To be fair, I think the salesperson intended to say the 15-in MacBook Air has bigger graphics performance because it has more GPU cores. It was all rather amusing.

Diana gets morose when Her Majesty leaves on a trip without her. So I let her sleep on the bed next to me last night. She occupied HM's side and, unusually, was no problem at all.

Lotsa nice towns between PDX and McMinnville. I only spent time at the airport there though. I did make time to walk through the Evergreen air and space museum and see the spruce goose.

Kirk: But for how...long? How...long, Mr. Aurelius?
My F150 has a slow leak in one tire I've been airing up peiodically for about two years now...the guys at the tire shop get kinda whiny about slow leaks they can't find and ya have to spend an hour or two waiting...might have to break out the bead breaker and spoons and patch it myself.

I was amazed at how weird hair-free and nose ring-free all the clerks were, even at the coffee shops, in Kansas.
Kansas seemed also to have few hijab-wearers around, as in "none." Salty replied, "They keep a low profile here. We have a lot of gun owners."

I can see the future. And sometimes even the past. Present is cloudy though.
The question for which we have ever received a satisfactory answer:
How is it that Dionne Warwick and the Psychic Friends Network did not foresee that its end was near?
The answer? It sat on a throne of lies!

I was last in Portland, 2016. I was appalled at the state of the city at that point. There's not a chance in hell I would ever return. I lived there in the mid-90s and it was always amusing to see the ecoterrorists repel down the side of one of the taller buildings so they could unfurl one of multi-story banners.
