Daily Tech News 18 February 2026

Top Story

  • Had an instructive argument with Grok today.

    Someone asked if a video was AI, and Grok said it indeed appeared to be fake. It was overlaid on a web page from The Hill and the article had no reference to the person in the video and indeed no video.

    Except the video was right there.

    Yet Grok swore blind that it didn't exist.

    Why?

    Because the video is copy protected and can only be viewed in a browser. Grok literally could not see it. And the reason the copy on Twitter was overlaid on a static web page is that the person who posted it took a screen recording to capture the video.


  • Meanwhile the third derivative of memory prices appears to be leveling off. (Tom's Hardware)

    Actually, more than that: In Germany prices have declined. Slightly. From five times what they were just months ago to, in some cases, as little as four times.

    So there's that.

7 mere lol, even roflmao, cannot express my feelings about the audiophile test results!

for years I have contemplated the insanely inflated claims (and even more insanely inflated prices!) of the dealers in "high end" "audiophile" copper wires.

I knew it was all nonsense (virtually all copper wire is OFHC, f'rinstance), yet ... the madness went on, and on ...

But since engineers have shoved the sum total of human knowledge into it, they had to smooth out the bumps to make it fit. It always tends toward the middle, by design. The aim is to be acceptable, rather than great, and never to offend anybody, which is a perfect fit for corporate customers.

15 Isn't there some other law of surveys that they're almost entirely bimodal? You can even use that to check the validity of a survey, because if it looks like there is in fact a single mode around the mid-point/average, instead of two "hot spots" at the top and bottom, the responses are probably inorganic?

Actually, more than that: In Germany prices have declined. Slightly. From five times what they were just months ago to, in some cases, as little as four times.

So there's that.



Steve at Hardware Unboxed tested some 'KingBank' branded DDR5 RAM (CL 40) that was ultimately made by CXMT out of China.

On a 9800X3D system the results were negligible for most games competing against faster RAM from Crucial and Kingston.

The prices, in Australia at least, were slightly cheaper but he says not to expect it to stay that way now that everybody is looking to get Chinese RAM for that very reason.

Much marijuana was smoked, is my guess.

Posted by: m at February 18, 2026 05:15 AM (+YA9H)

29 So in an interesting twist for our sleep little town....

Last month there was a shocking fatal shooting of an 18 year old employee at a Sonics in our community at around 8:30 in the morning. We actually were caught up in the police response for it, as there was a lockdown of two nearby schools and a major thoroughfare where the Sonics was located.

Anyhow, just yesterday they announced the arrest of the suspect.

Intercepted at the Bali airport as he stepped off the plane on a temporary passport from the US.

Whatever was going on it involved the FBI, State Department, Interpol and who knows who else.

And the victim?

He was the targeted victim, and had been shot previously at another restaurant in another nearby small town much earlier. Somebody wanted this kid dead, and had the know-how to involve international travel as well.

30 Yeah, after a review, I got some info wrong.

39 For a time, anything labeled Western Electric, the really vintage stuff from the 20s and 30s, got good prices from collectors. Even the solder.

Sometime in the 1990s maybe a couple guys from Japan rented a van in the US, and armed with phonebooks made a roadtrip around the country hitting all the longtime Radio and TV repair shops still in business and cleaned out as many of the desirable audio vacuum tubes, which can garner a stupid money. There was one in my hometown up until the 2000s and he still had quite a bit of swag, though none of the old school audio output tubes.

Wayde Preston was pretty good in it.

He's in one of my favorite Maverick episodes; "The Saga of Waco Williams" where he plays Waco, who pretty much defeating the town boss (played by the ubiquitous R.G. Armstrong), while killing his son, and in the end impresses the man so much he encourages Waco to marry his daughter (played by a very young and attractive Louise Fletcher) because "I've never seen a man I thought was good enough for my daughter until you".

I'm pretty sure Wayde got the part in Colt 45 because of that one episode, as it's a highly-rated (8.8 on imdb) and the audience at the time loved it.

Police emphasized that Baker, despite being linked to prior incidents, was a hard-working young man.

“He was working two jobs, trying to make a living. That’s honorable,” Wright said. “This was a tragic situation, and our main focus is bringing closure to the family and the community.”


At another shooting at a Marcos, house was burgalrized, then shot & killed at the Sonic.

He was working, no doubt, but I see a kid dealing on the side, something went down and drugs or money went missing, they're looking for his money or drugs in the house, and then shot him for not paying up.

I could be wrong, but that fits the facts.

Eat, sleep, commute, work, that's it. It smells really good. Used Andouille sausage and shrimp, added the usual for this kind of feast; celery, onion, bell pepper, tomato's, mushrooms, okra. Added red beans and rice. I've made Jambalaya before and it's fairly simple. Listening to a CD box set of various songs based in New Orleans, so jazz, zydeco, R&B, soul, ect. And that is about as Mardi Gras as I get. Don't expect much more from a Pennsyltuckian expat living in Babylon DC.

They show only series on this WEST streaming channel through Dish.

Have Gun Will Travel is on it but they play it at like 2 in the morning, followed up by The Californians at 3 (not impressed by that one), thenColt .45 at 4, and The Texan (with Rory Calhoun) at 5.

Be safe out there. I am absolutely confident you will be a good role model for the other drivers.

One of my memories of driving was a late early release. The roads were covered in rain that froze to a glaze of ice. Took me an additional hour. And I called in a personal favor to get the roads I needed to travel salted.

I paused before going down a hill with a deep gully on either side of the road at the bottom. The salt truck was on the way, fifteen minutes out.
The bus was very quiet as I went down in 1st gear with the foot very lightly on the brake. Made it, but it could have gone so wrong.

It's been going on for a few years now.

Mostly young men who graduated in a tough job market and said "Screw the rat race, I'm out."

It's got the CCP worried so much they've banned the Chinese word for "lie flat" off the internet.

90 @73/NaCly Dog: Thanks for the words of encouragement.

"I paused before going down a hill with a deep gully on either side of the road at the bottom. The salt truck was on the way, fifteen minutes out.
The bus was very quiet as I went down in 1st gear with the foot very lightly on the brake. Made it, but it could have gone so wrong.
"

Ooof. I've found in situations like that you're pretty much on your own. Dispatch isn't there and can't see or feel the conditions. I'm waiting for the day I advise them of terrible road conditions and ask what they advise, to which the response is likely: "Proceed carefully if you feel you can do so" (which puts it back on me) and I then hit them with the phrase that should make Legal's sphincter pucker: "Can you send that advise to me in an email?"

And if the kids are voluntarily being that quiet, they instinctively know they're all in a dangerous situation. Glad it went well for you. Good call on first gear and a feather touch on the brake.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - February 17, 2026 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Tuesday ONT. What awaits you on this mid-winter night? Glad you asked! Step on in and see for yourself...

***


5 years ago today, we lost a one-of-a kind legend.

doof-elrushbo-2026-1.jpg

Rush Limbaugh will ALWAYS be the voice of conservatism. I first heard him in 1991 at the recommendation of a good friend. I was immediately hooked, and I listened to his radio program or read his website nearly every day for more than 25 years. I imagine many of you have a similar history with the man behind the golden EIB microphone. On the anniversary of his passing, let's enjoy just a few examples of his greatness.

Rush explains liberalism (August 2013)


Rush explains the Trump phenomenon (Oct 2018 )


Take in the first 20 seconds of this video especially. Two legends of conservativism - both sorely missed.


Let's also revisit this spectacularly titled opinion article from Erick Erickson which was published the day after Rush passed away.

Talent Returned To God

My mother insisted that my dad and I take a college road trip together when I was in 11th grade. I got to drive. My dad got to control the radio. We opted for backroads and scenery instead of speed and the interstate. Driving through rural Alabama on the way to my eventual alma mater, Mercer University, in Macon, Georgia, my dad went in search of radio legend Paul Harvey.

Instead, he stumbled upon a voice claiming to have talent on loan from God. My dad and I may not have had a super close relationship at the time, but together we found Rush Limbaugh and could connect with each other through listening to Rush.

Years later, I helped start the website RedState and randomly sent a note through the comment line at Rush's website. I not only got back a reply, but it was from Rush himself. I could not believe he knew who I was. Thus began a correspondence, which led to a friendship, which led to a mentorship.

The first time I ever remember my dad telling me he was proud of me was the day Rush Limbaugh referred to me on air as his friend. My dad nearly ran off the road and immediately called me with fatherly pride. After years of running RedState and being on television, my parents finally decided I would be okay in my career choices after Rush designated me one of his guest hosts.

Definitely check out the whole thing.

Turns out, not EVERYTHING is bigger In Texas

The World’s Smallest Skyscraper Is the Result of a Massive Scam

smallest-skyscraper2.jpg

At just 40 feet tall, the Newby-McMahon Building in Wichita Falls isn’t very impressive, even when compared to regular-sized buildings, let alone skyscrapers. And yet it was supposed to be one of the most imposing skyscrapers of its time when it was designed in the early 1900s.

The nickname ‘World’s Littlest Skyscraper’ is a dubious title to have, but the Newby-McMahon Building is indeed dwarfed by every skyscraper in the world. It isn’t remotely worthy of being called a skyscraper, as it’s dwarfed by several normal buildings in Wichita Falls, but the story of how it came to be is truly fascinating.

The origins of the Newby-McMahon Building can be traced back to the early 1900s, when the North Texas city of Wichita Falls became the center of a regional oil boom. The discovery of black gold in nearby Burkburnett turned hundreds of locals into millionaires, as mineral rights were negotiated virtually everywhere, from street corners to temporary tents.

Philadelphia oil man J.D.D. McMahon was the first to notice the city’s dire need for office space and quickly proposed a solution – building an imposing skyscraper right next to the original Newby Building, built by Augustus Newby in 1906. His blueprints caught the eye of several investors, and he was able to raise about $200,000 (about $6.8 million in today’s money).

McMahon promised a multistory office building that would be built just across the street from the St. James Hotel, but what he failed to mention was that it wouldn’t go up very much. Exctatic investors didn’t notice that the building’s scale was measured in inches rather than feet, and, by the time they realized they had been scammed, it was too late.

Check out the whole thing. Video segment at the link.

Yes, Presidents' Day was yesterday - but this cool bit of trivia hit my feed this morning. From Kevin O'Neill on X

RIP to my favorite Presidents Day fun fact.

John Tyler, our 10th president, had a grandson alive until last May.

John had a son while in his 60s.
That son had a kid while in his 70s.
And that kid, Harrison Tyler, passed away last year at age 96.

So… New fun fact:
John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

That's a pretty random but interesting tidbit!

But wait - there's more! Check out this very Horde-worthy comment to the post

Correction: Steven Tyler was John Tyler's father. 'Dream On' was almost our national anthem. And 'Love in an Elevator' was written by Otis Redding, two years after he founded the Otis Elevator Company.

Look it up.

Had a good day today. Got a haircut for the first time since pre-COVID; cut off a good ten inches of hair. I got tired of the ponytail. Then I went to a local diner/ice cream place for lunch.

48 I remember well the day Rush went national August 1, 1988. I had been listening to Bob Grant in NY for years. I was still living and working in NYC then. Bob Grant seemed very jealous this young upstart was going national, as I'm sure Grant always wanted to. Grant was on 3-6 PM and I listened to him on a Walkman while commuting home. I started carrying a little radio to hear Rush at work when possible. I was in the Carpenters Union then. Grant, Like Rush, started out in California in the mid 60s. He moved to NYC and had a legendary feud with Alex Bennett, a cool hippie who had a radio show in NY then. Bennett later moved to SF.

50 My favorite Rush Limbaugh "lesson" was when he went off on "special" tax proposals. The one he commented on was a proposal by some entity for a sales tax for an additional penny for the police and fire departments.

HE WENT OFF ON IT. He (correctly) pointed out the FIRST duty of government was public safety. Therefore funding for police and fire departments should be solved FIRST, and then everything else figured out afterwards. The younger me (this was during the middle '90s) really appreciated this ranking of government priorities. Even conservatives need to be reminded that these kind of proposals are gimmicks--other leftist bullshit has already been approved and yet we're asking taxpayers the equivalent of "Would you all pay more sales tax if we kept you...safe?".

52 The thing about Rush for us was, we don't listen to the radio except when we're in the car. And whenever I'd tune in Limbaugh, he was either going into a commercial break, touting something, or otherwise filling time without his actual commentary. We'd pull into our driveway just as he'd come back from commercials.

Disappointing. That was why I quit trying to listen to Mark Levin, too.

The benefit to podcasts is that a lot of them (not all by a long chalk) don't do commercials, or if they do they are at the beginning and end - and I download them to listen while driving so I can pick up and drag the USB into the house.

The No Agenda Show (Adam Curry) for example does no commercials, but they do spend a good amount of time thanking the donors who give more than $50

81 Doof, Good "Call" on the hidden video. I bought "Into the Woods" on vinyl when it was released (not because vinyl captures the nuances in the music we have lost in the digital age, but because I'm old). There are no stinkers on that album either, which is good, since it is a pain in the ass to get out of your chair, and skip to the next track with vinyl. Yup, you couldn't just press a button on some fancy remote. No sir. You had to lift the needle, and try to delicately drop it on the next track, or you would irreparably damage both the needle and the album. Every time you played it in the future, you would be reminded that you gashed the damn thing by the skip or a pop. Anyway, good song Doof.

110 78 Damn you Jeffrey Epstein!

Why? at long last we get to see how far politico's will go to protect one of their own.

Why haven't all the doc's been released? if they were, consider well both Clinton's would know precisely what not to recall -- which is precisely why both want it televised, which makes it that much more difficult to parallel construct a conviction of implications and perjury upon them... They're cooked, and so is Brennan and his dancing undead.

All things open to question are precisely why Epstein chose to prominently display a life sized portrait of Bill Clinton in a blue dress pointing an accusing finger at the viewer.

"I am not a great man, I am a failure – and you have made me one." -- Clinton'01

If a President of the United States ever lied to the American people, he should resign. -- Clinton'98

It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. Clinton'98

“the people in charge are lying to the public and telling them not to believe what we’ve seen with our own eyes.” Clinton 01/26/26

"We'll actually have to work very hard to kill as many people in the 21st century. What's the difference? This time, you think the victim could be you," Clinton'07

Without Bill Clinton, there factually would have been no Epstein, ctHillary would not have been able to pimp out Chelsea to Maxwell and all the while the secret service protectors were duty-bound to report every shenanigan, every misdeed, especially when it involved foreign countries and nations to whom? MSNBC's uncle sourpuss. and if he didn't know, how intelligent was he really?

but to get to that information all kinds of gymnastics are required to hide the obviousness of the truth -- they all knew, and Clinton knew that they knew, and he could force them to watch.

Why else 72hrs of phone sex alot from AF1? even decrypted by the Russians?

Why else she shear insolence of him forcing us to deny Kathleen Willey, Lewinsky and the many others he diddled with on the nations time and clock? he could for you to watch, and the libs to actively defend the indefensible -- which has reduced them to what they are today.

Why wouldn't he, ctHillary or any normal parent be concerned if their kid is hanging around with a madam like Maxwell? are they not normal?

A: NO, they are truely evil abetted by the venal and the weak -- the LIBs.

So noe there’s this weird dichotomy where a fella of any age can de facto use young females as fuck toys, and discard them. They are now merely a commodity The left (of course) has everything completely and utterly wrong about the origins and purpose of marriage.

143 Much as I truly enjoyed and learned from Rush, there were moments when I had to turn him off.

1. shilling for Apple. 2. doing the ads. I know he was contracted to do so, but it was always after a huge block of ads anyway. 3. Talking about sports. 4. having a kid caller. It was always about his books and how great they are. Which they might have been, I don't know.

That said, when he passed, I turned off the radio and seldom have had it on since. There's no purpose, no point. Oldies are fine, they are part of a better world. But no news comes from that world.

Also, happy Tuesday to the Horde, the best people on the planet.

MisHum can have the frozen tundra all to himself for a while. Ice fishing! Sturgeon spearing! Snow shoveling and scraping ice off the windshield! We're out here for the first time in a few years, and intend to relax and unwind. It's been kind of a hard winter.

I like the Southwest. The scenery is gorgeous, the weather at this time of year is great, and people are generally decent. Prices stink ($200+ for a hotel room!?!?!!) but I'll do it to make the missus happy.

Why did Bernard Nussbaum notify ctHillary *FIRST* upon notification of Vince Foster's body being found.

Yup. This is where the fun begins.

Was Benghazi a Youtube Video, did she approve Susan Rice's statements to that effect. Didn't she watch her own people die on live broadcast without calling in air support.

What was is she is on record of that "What difference does it make, they're Dead!"

Just like Bill telling the parents of BlackHawk Down in the WH -- "It's their own fault that they were dead"

The fact is, Les Aspen went out of his way to deny the armored support that the crew requested, refused to acknowledge that the expected warlords were speaking arabic rather than Somali -- because it was OBL's organization and trial ballon.

That Bill simply couldn't bring himself to order the kill shot on OBL because he couldn't find any reason to tear his attention away from the super bowl.

So many questions, the congressMONSTERS refuse to ask. But why ask why, when HOW is so much more fun...

150 I have a bit of a different value for Rush Limbaugh besides his common Conservative bona fides. I used him as a dating tool. If I invited a girl to grab lunch during the work day, I'd pick them up with The Rush Limbaugh Show playing on the car radio. I could usually figure out if I was wasting my time on the lunch date within a few minutes based on whether this solicited any comments.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division

Ok, I won't wade into the "is that how she always sounds?" discussion because I LOVE everything that Fleetwood Mac did when Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie joined the band. That was amazing material, and they earned eternal respect for that.
What I WILL provide is this update on Stevie's live solo shows.

If your girlfriend or wife wants to go, take her. But just know going in that her range has deteriorated, and her back-up singers now hit the high notes for her. And her band is "professionally generic". What I mean by that is that they play all of the right notes, but their "tone" is off...often. They "overdrive" sections of songs that should sound acoustic...a lot.

Lindsey Buckingham didn't do that. Because he is an amazing guitarist that knows how to do stuff that sounds over-driven and he also knows how to play clean.

But Stevie apparently *hates* Lindsey, because of all of the 100 or more (not kidding here) visuals that show up behind her in her concert, there were a dozen of Tom Petty, a half dozen of Christine McVie, a half dozen of Joe Walsh...and ONE of Lindsey.

183 Fun trivia about Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty: “Don’t come around here no more” was written for Stevie Nicks by Tom Petty and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, after Stevie’s break up with Joe Walsh. Stevie was supposed to perform it, but Petty said he had some ideas on how to do it and asked to cut a demo tape for her before she did it.

Personally, I hate American Graffiti with the heat of a thousand suns. It's George Lucas' big "fuck you" to Modesto, where he grew up. The epilogue has everyone either dying horribly, going to Canada (almost certainly to avoid the draft), and Opie gets his dreams of leaving Modesto dashed when Shirley latches onto him like a blood-sucking tropical leech and begs him to stay.

226 1.) I was a legit "Rush baby," given that I listened to his show from the age of six until he died. I would ride bikes around town with my dad, and my job was to carry the ghetto blaster in my bike basket playing the show.

2.) Erickson is a detestable, treacherous cuck who wasn't fit to shine Limbaugh's shoes, without regard to some guest-host appearances over the years. Of course he cashed in on his death with some disingenuous eulogy - it was a situation he could capitalize upon. He'd capitalize on the death of a penniless, unknown nun if he could.

Posted by: Crusader

Maine? Don't think so. Nevada has legalized prostitution by county option. Heavily regulated, only in licensed locations, girls licenced, medical checkups once a month, etc.
Fun fact: Prostitution is outlawed in Clark County (Las Vegas). That's the town with probably the highest ratio of hookers per square mile of anywhere in the US.

As of late 2023,
Maine does not fully legalize or regulate prostitution, but it has partially decriminalized it. Specifically, Maine law now prohibits the purchase of sexual services, but it does not criminalize those who sell or engage in sex work, making it the first state to adopt this approach.

Bulgar, I say this as a friend, but I have started avoiding reading your comments.

Look we all have pet peeves. Issues we have strong feeling about. Often people discuss them here. However, on a handful of subjects, man, it feels like it is less a discussion with you and more an exercise in denial and contradiction. It is less a free flow or exchange of ideas and more rote ceremonial denial.

We get it: you don't like Catholicism. You don't like Fantasy literature. You see no value in these things. Your opinion has been fucking logged.

This gets tedious. It kind of annoys people. Yes, we Catholics (of which I am a very bad example) are about to embark on one of our biggest rituals of self denial and trying to become closer to God. The fact that you find this annoying kind of pisses me the fuck off. If that is what you are looking for, congratufuckinglations.

So I will go back to ignoring your comments.

Romney was weak.

BUT Obama was far worse than Carter in every way.
Not really surprising that he won the first go around as he was objectively popular, three tours of (R) tires the LIV, but, his first tour was a total shit show. Not average. Not meh. Total shit show.

And his reelection had verifiable massive vote/election fraud going on. Philly alone had multiple precincts with over 100% registered voter turnout, 100% Obama, and/or 0% Romney (with stray third party votes). From a quality assurance perspective this is just that guy writing down whatever vote totals for the precinct with whatever the hell they feel like.

364 There's a great scene (an almost insignificant one, plotwise) in The Wire, where Marlo Stanfield steals a lollipop from the bodega, and the security guard confronts him outside about his gang activity, and how he sees through him, and just wants him to at least quit being so brazen about it. Just an honest man telling a crook to quit rubbing it in everyone's faces.

Marlo replies "You want it to be one way."

SG: "What?"

Marlo: "You want it to be one way."

SG: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Marlo: "You want it to be one way."

SG: "Stop saying that!"

Marlo: "But it's the other way."

Marlo then jumps in his Escalade and speeds off, and in a later episode, has the security guard murdered for daring to mouth off to him that day.

This is how the American political system works and the Republican Marlos are no different than the Democrat ones.

368 Back in the days when I thought I was smarter than I actually was, I held the RC church in contempt. Then my sainted mother, a very strong Christian, became a member of a Catholic church. I couldn't believe it. I sat down with her and dished out a good rant. She listened, like she always did and then asked me a couple questions. Are there Bibles in Catholic churches? Yes mom. So the Word of God is present. Yes mom. If the Word of God is present, is the Holy Spirit present? Yes mom. So do you think God has a handle on things? Yes mom. She joined that church because she love the liturgy, the beauty, the Priest was an amazing teacher and that church had the only draf service in Spokane. My younger brother is deaf. I still have issues with the RC church. They aren't the only one though. The morons here who identify as Catholics come across no differently than myself. They love our Lord Jesus and they struggle daily to live up to His unconditional love. Disagreement is fine, but leave it at that. This isn't the forum for anything beyond that.

I put up 2 homemade silhouette targets. The first one was named Sid, the other Roberta. They both had the Antifa logo as the center mass target. He was laughing his rear end off.

Then you are Perseus Gambino, great grand nephew of the former head of the Gambino crime family?

That reminded ne of another movie besides "Dauys of Thunder" in which Tobert Duvall played a master mechanic. And that movie was "Gone in 60 Seconds", available now as part of Criterion's "Cursed by Cage" collection.

Battle of the Oranges Cafe

ivreaitaly.jpg
Ivrea, northern Italy

In Ivrea, Italy, the end of a Carnevale is marked with a good old-fashioned orange fight. Now I've been in my fair share of orange fights, but I gotta say, this town takes its orange fights seriously.

When they're not beaning each other in the faces with oranges, Ivrea seems like a nice town.

Catjitsu.

Cruising.

Excited penguin.

The new Winter Olympics sport coming in 2030.

POV: Mouse.

An RC car at a dog park turns it into a dog track.

Dog plays fetch with himself and a table.

Too many balls! More than two is overkill, really.

Hide and seek.

Cockatoo has become a guard dog.

Porcupine picnic.

They import over one million pounds of oranges for the annual Battle of the Oranges.



POV: dog food.

We used to race cochroaches in the bathtub at college. We used White Out to put little numbers on their backs. And, if yours wasn't performing up to specifications, you could probably find another contestent in about five minutes by looking in the kitchen cabinets.

32 As usual, the cafe is Haram.

One thing hit me, after one of today's threads got nooded. It was about the spelling "koran" instead of "quran".

The name of the prophet has gone through many changes. When I was young, he was "Mohammed". Now, it's usually "Muhammed." Of course, they do this only to be pests. Well, back in the day, they did the same changing the then-standard "Mahomet" to "Mohammed". Chesterton would have none of it, and fought his editors. He ended it by writing them "If you insist on 'Mohammed' I am perfectly capable of insisting on 'Mahound'".

GKC won. Ever since reading that, I've tried to use older spellings. (And I won't call the gulf state "Gutter". NFW.)

58 Over the last year or so, I have noticed thst cashiers at truck stops have changed their traditional send off at the end of a transaction. Now, instead of the tradional "Thank you, have a nice day," or, "Thanks, please come again," they are telling us, "Safe travels."

I, for one, find this to be an improvement. "Safe travels" is now my second favorite valediction, right after, "Have a blessed day," because any phrase that invokes the almighty to look after you has to be the favorite, but a personal concern for a truckers welfare on the road is rather nice.

143 I grew up in a subdivision in Phoenix that had been built in old citrus groves - we all had 3 or 4 grapefruit trees in our yards, some had 5 or 6. They were very productive, and often they would just fall on the ground and rot (these were the great big bright yellow variety). I mean we all ate them for breakfast most every day when they ripe, but 4 or 5 trees will produce a couple of hundred grapefruit, and you just can’t eat that many. So me and my friends would have wars with them.

When you were choosing your weapon, you didn’t want a fresh one - no you wanted the ones that had been on the ground for about a week.
The supreme triumph was to hide around the corner til one of your buddies stepped out, and then hit him with a great big one on the side of the head and cover him with rotten sticky grapefruit juice when it exploded. Man those were some good times!

I guess living in Kansas, which has approximately a dozen trees total throughout the entire state, we just just kind of all share those same 12 trees, I was lucky because I still got hit a lot.

Antifa-Affiliated Group Stomps a Normal Peaceful Student to Death in Lyon, France

The BBC attempts to gently bury the story under the vague and anodyne headline, "Student death puts French far-left under pressure," as if he died after drinking too much at an antifa party.

The reality? He was a normie who showed up to protect female protesters who call attention to Muslim rape culture. They were protesting a radical Muslim speaker.

This group is called "Collective Nemesis."

An antifa-affiliated group, Jeune Garde (Young Guard, I think), just beat him to the ground and then delivered full-extension kick to his head after full-extension kick to his head.

He died within days of severe brain trauma.

"Student death puts French far-left under pressure"

That's a take.

Student death puts French far-left under pressure

France's radical left is under pressure after the killing of a student in Lyon was blamed on "anti-fascist" militants.

"Blamed"? It's on video.

Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old maths student and nationalist activist, died on Saturday, two days after being beaten up on the street by a group of young men.

State prosecutor Thierry Dran told a news conference on Monday afternoon in Lyon that a murder investigation has been opened into the death.

He said that Deranque was kicked and punched by "at least six" individuals, and that the autopsy showed fatal damage to his skull and brain.

On Thursday afternoon Deranque had given support to a hard-right feminist collective Némésis, which staged a small protest against a left-wing politician's visit to Lyon's Institute of Political Studies (IEP), commonly known as Sciences-Po.

You mean a radical Muslim's visit.

Mobile phone video footage taken a few streets away from the protest's location showed three young men being kicked and punched by a larger group. One person - believed to be Quentin - remained lying on the ground.

According to Dran, there was an initial confrontation between two groups. A short time later Deranque was one of three nationalist activists who, having failed to get away, were cornered by the opposing group.

One group was just some girls who were there to protest the many rapes perpetrated by Muslims. This kid Quentin was there to protect them.

I guess he succeeded -- by giving his own life to protect them from antifa.

Ministers from President Macron's centre-right government blamed "far-left" militants for the killing.

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said: "Manifestly it was the far-left that was at work ... This was a mob-killing, with blows that the perpetrators probably did not intend to be fatal."

According to Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, "it is the far-left that killed him. Of that there is no question."

The French government actually called it a lynching -- un lynchage is their word for it. But the BBC won't say that.

"Student death."

At every point, the BBC minimizes the murder by their antifa allies and deceives the reader into thinking the facts are in doubt and that maybe antifa is just getting a bad rap.

And the BBC does not report that after the murder, left-wing French politicians praised the work and the importance of left-wing "protest" groups.

33 May Quentin Deranque RIP and his family know that while his death was unnecessary in the free world he should live in, it calls attention to the hideous rape of France and Europe. A cause he tried to fight and died trying.

Rape not just of the women, who have very little defense, but the rape of their entire culture for barbarians who worship a rock.

I will pray for this young man and his family tonight when I pray for Christians and Jews to stand up and fight.

This is the culture they bring. I am thankful I saw much of the UK and a few countries in Europe before this.

They should change the names of "far right" etc to Pro-Barbarian, Unsure Barbarian, and Anti-Barbarian Deport Them... to leave no one confused.

Kimmel's an amoral shit. He kicked his plump first wife and kids to the ground when he started negotiating the late night gig. I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that he started fucking Sarah Silverman at the same time not because he was particularly attracted to her, but to make sure that reconciliation with his wife and family wasn't on the table. Just in time for the big late night paychecks.

Fat Illinois boy punching a "Nazi" is a hero, Charlie Kirk getting shot was cause for celebration, but this has them worried? Maybe it's too new (or foreign), and we'll see more celebration in the next few days.

That reminds me: my antifa membership card expired. I gotta go to the regional antifa office to renew it. Good thing the fees are tax-deductible. 🙄

I don't think we can call it a lynching when you're part of a group that physically attacks another group, and you lose the fight you started. Nothing justifies Quentin's death, but I don't think the word is appropriate.

Per the City's website, the tax rate is 20.309% of assessed value, which will typically be below market value because assessed value is not allowed to grow more than 6% per year without applicable renovations, reconstruction, etc. taking place.

So a 9.5% increase will raise it to ~ 22.24% of assessed value. It was already astoundingly high.

128 In 2024, NYC property tax receipts hit a record high of $37 billion.

Assuming it's universal and there are no exemptions and no difference in assessments and so every property owner pays 9.5% more than last year without exception, this will raise an additional $3.515 billion, all other things being equal.

That's a lot of money. This year's budget is proposed to be $122.7 billion. The deficit will be around $2 billion per the Comptroller, with next year projected at $10 billion (nobody knows how much Mamdani is going to spend).

So this tax hike will cover this year's new deficit. Maybe.

133 The landlords are free to dispose of their land, free to buy land and to sell it. That is why it is possible to judge their strength very accurately by the amount of land they own. The land can never pass to labour, that is, to the poor working man, because land has to be paid for with money. But the poor never have any money to spare. The land can go only to the rich, moneyed peasants, to capital, to those people against whom the rural poor must fight in alliance with the urban workers.

Microsoft AI CEO: Most White-Collar Jobs Will be "Automated by AI" Within Ten Years
I Mean, Within Twelve to Eighteen Months

Does that mean the jobs will be eliminated?

He doesn't say that. He says they'll be "automated by AI." Does that mean workers will be completely replaced, or that one worker can use AI to do the job of five, because so much of the task is being done by AI?

I think it means the latter -- but that means that there will be a huge loss of jobs among white collar workers.

We live in interesting times, unfortunately.

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says AI will reach "human-level performance" in white-collar work.

He predicts most tasks in that field can be automated within the next 12 to 18 months.

Several leaders in the AI industry have warned of impending mass job replacement.

Microsoft's AI CEO is joining a chorus of executives who say they anticipate widespread job automation driven by artificial intelligence.

Mustafa Suleyman, the Microsoft AI chief, said in an interview with the Financial Times that he predicts most, if not every, task in white-collar fields will be automated by AI within the next year or year and a half.

"I think that we're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks," Suleyman said in the interview that was published Wednesday. "So white-collar work, where you're sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person -- most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months."

The CEO said the trend is already observable in software engineering, in which employees are using "AI-assisted coding for the vast majority of their code production."

"It's a quite different relationship to the technology, and that's happened in the last six months," he said.

Scary. I read a book five years ago that seemed pretty fanciful. It made exactly this prediction. It said that people who currently have prestigious, high-paying, "safe" jobs had better diversify into areas where AI is less likely to displace them because anything AI can do, it will do.

It keeps on coming:

AI set to make medical scan reports twice as easy to understand for patients

by University of Sheffield

Artificial intelligence could soon help patients make sense of complex medical scan results, making them far easier to understand without losing clinical accuracy, a major new study by the University of Sheffield suggests. The research found that when radiology reports for X-Rays, CT and MRI scans were rewritten using advanced AI systems such as ChatGPT, patients found them almost twice as easy to understand compared with the original versions.

Analysis showed that the reading level dropped from "university level" to one more closely aligned with the comprehension of a school pupil aged 11--13.

I don't know if I'm ready to trust AI with anything important. On the twenty questions I've asked it, it was flat-out wrong about half the time.

On the other hand: Hollywood is doomed.

16 I watched a video just yesterday where the YouTuber was lamenting the fact that AI can basically write books on demand which can then be uploaded and sold on Amazon.

One woman wrote 200 books in ONE YEAR using AI, and made 6 figures doing it.

Now, the books aren't great, but they are apparently "good enough" to sate the appetites of the readers.

Interesting twist: AI-generated books are NOT copyrighted, so you can download them, change the author's name, and sell them as your own without penalty.

35 The problem I have with these predictions is that AI is very good at doing things where it has plenty of examples available for training. That is why it is great at translations and speech generation.

Also great at software, because almost everything you need to do has already been done by others thousands of time.

But most jobs, even laptop class jobs, are not like that at all.

I think it can replace a lot of programmers (let's be honest, we have been talking about "human language programming" since the 80s. so that should be no surprise that AI can do it.)

I think it will be a powerful tool for lawyers, doctors, and other jobs were great experience and training is required. Also for many of the rote tasks of bookkeeping, etc. I am skeptical beyond that.

I saw a video a couple weeks ago which suggested that it would, and fairly soon. OTOH, lots of people say lots of things about AI.

54 The amazing thing about AI image generation is that since it’s not 3d model or ray trace living based and is using image synthesis from real world photographs, the images it creates are more grounded and believable and have “real” physical weight and feeling.

Also the contexts windows are expanding rapidly, I think they have gotten the context windows up to 50 million lines of code and two weeks continuous work on a single context session.

Yep, we’re all cooked, Hollywood, doubly so.

55 If AI legitimately automates this much of the workforce, it may be a huge net positive:
No more H1B's.
No more BS jobs.
No more DEI programs.

56 AI doesn't replace programmers. Typing isn't the issue and it never was. Tracking down silent data corruption across distributed systems is. Working under constraints that no prompt can capture is.

I had some pressure to use more AI in my job, but it was thankfully brief pressure.

82 I'm in the middle of this AI mania and I have thoughts:

The stupid as fuck CEOS who thought AI could replace 90% of their workforce to save them gaboolions turned out to be... get this, wrong

95% of generative AI initiatives fail due to management issues, poor UX, hallucinations, and workflow mismatches

most CEOs had to admit in earnings reports that no revenue boost or cost savings from AI ever materialized

The prediction that AI would replace 90% of jobs it was meant to replace went from 90% to ***checks notes*** 6%.

Fun fact: Im part of a team that laid off an Indian worker who was legit replaced by AI that my boss built from scratch, so I can say the biggest threat here are H1B hindu bindu midwits who never bother to improve or evolve their skills (if they even have any)

Im also in the process of building my own autonomous AI using OpenClaw. What could go wrong?

Maybe I'll be wrong. But I don't see any evidence that experienced lawyers are likely to be replaced by AI anytime soon.

92 Also great at software, because almost everything you need to do has already been done by others thousands of time.

Many companies, mostly those that are heavily regulated or have serious security concerns, won't let AI do anything that involves looking at the code or processing it outside the organization. (think: bank, insurance, trading platforms)

Also, because it has seen thing done thousands of times before, its old code, outdated frameworks, yesterday's syntax, wrong scale of architecture, zero security awareness, WAY too much Indian cram code, spaghetti logic that no one can understand, difficulty with recursion, crappy logging discipline.

Because of its unbalanced loading of résumé code - crap put up on github to impress recruiters and as homework for getting an interview, connection strings, things that ought to be in key vaults, magic beans in the code and lack of enterprise features are training data and end up in far too much vibe coding products.

AI is now incorporating decompiled code and AI generated slop as training data. Entropy is setting in and its getting worse each quarter.

And a beta fish.
Another guy said, "I left the money beside the machine so you can pick it up." And it believed him.
Then Anthropic installed a CEO name Seymore Cash to supervise.

103 I think we view this all upside down. People don't work because there are jobs, there are jobs because people work.

So if AI fills a lot of jobs, people will end up doing other things. Maybe things with hands until the robots take over, maybe after that something else. People need to work, and they will work.

AI will only change what that work is. Just as putting people on the dole -- it did not stop people from working, only now that class works at theft and pimpin and rap and dealin and protests. Those jobs don't pay well, but the dole covers that. This is hard to explain but i made my point.

I still say that news readers are the easiest to replace with AI. They will mispronounce things



When it comes to male news readers, the more good looking they are, the stupider they are. This one guy was on a local SoCal station in the morning back when I actually watched local news. He looked like a male underwear model, but profoundly stupid. He crudely flirted with his married news desk partner on live TV (she was married to the senior prime time news reader and biggest "star" at the station). Couldn't pronounce "Paso Robles" or "San Jose" correctly if he'd had a gun to his head. Used to come in on Friday morning still slurring his words from Thursday partying. It was cringy fun to watch him make a fool of himself.

Lasted about 3 months before they shit-canned him and sent him back to Phoenix.

I don’t own a Shiba Inu. But a character in my book is a Shiba Inu named “Mikumi” (Miku). She’s the former forbidden mate of the wolf prince Maikoh. So I had to make her a very large SI.
Posted by: Elric the Blade at February 17

Male Shibas are only 25 pounds, females about 17. Maybe you needed an Akita Inu? The point of the Shiba size is important- they are designed this way for viciously hunting prey from bushes. They are a crazy amount of dog in a small package, which is what makes Shibas both a blast and very, very hard dogs. My Shiba just brought me 2 chewies to trade for a bite of the protein bar I am eating. He has thrown them on me twice and is now crying as he stares at me. I love him. He is too smart for his own good though. I got in trouble the other day from a fellow Shiba owner in Japan for failing to call Saijo Saijo San. We are all one big cult.

There's at least one science fiction story about that...I think Asimov wrote a story where ONE person out of the entire country is selected to "vote" for the leader of the country. UNIVAC or whatever the AI system is called culls through everyone to find just the right person for the time.

144 Optimistic take, which is to be expected from someone who is in the AI business.

The biggest problem this is going to cause is, ironically, for the Left. Not all professions are equal. Surely there will be some AI displacement of engineers and scientists and doctors, but AI is more likely to be used as an adjunct tool in those fields, rather than as a drop-in replacement.

The fields that face wholesale risk are administration, education, compliance and similar fields. AI isn't very good, but those are very rules-based fields. "Is X compliant with Regulation Y" is *relatively* easy to answer. "Did the department satisfy its budget requirements" is similar. "Who were the belligerents in the War of 1812 and why did they fight" is also similar.

The "soft" professions will be displaced first, both in areas that are heavily programmatic (rules-based, like some of the above) or where accuracy and validity are irrelevant (like journalism).

The results will still be worse than they were with humans, but it will be cheaper. Any number of executives will like that math, at least where liability can be limited.

150 I don't know if they cut their pay, but the AI did not create a workforce reduction, it just standardized quality specifications within the industry.

That might be a better deal. Far too many companies that are being bought out by private equity, and I'm thinking of how Thor has absolutely ruined RV manufacturing, have converted their employees from hourly rate to piece-meal so that shooting shit down the production line without any delay to correct for problems or insure against manufacturing defects is economically advantageous to everyone.

Especially now that the AI lawyers have drafted up contracts that make warranties just empty indecipherable words on paper.

156 I said this before. Last year as a project manager I was writing up a captial request and there was a portion on the project basis and description. I asked one of the project team members to write up something on it because I had just started on the project and he was much more familiar with it. A day later he puts something in write up document but it looked kinda choppy and not good enough. I started to refine it some when I highlighted the whole text to copy it so I could move somethings around. At the bottom of the highlight was a "refine" button. I said wth and hit it. Out comes a beautifully written and bullet pointed text that read like a high level sales presentation.

I told the team member and he told me the original text was AI generated too by just pointing the AI to the project folder.

I think the problem is that there's a big difference between the 'public models' and the 'private ones'; that is, ones that are trained on just internet searchable info and those are are trained on industry specific, research docs that are trusted.

Think of a car repair AI - the ones that just reference general internet info versus ones that are trained on car repair manuals, ASCE tests, insurance docs, etc. with specific guidelines that will only cough up an answer based on real, verify knowledge.

That is the sweet spot for it: acceleration as first-pass filter.

An example brought up a few weeks ago was related to medical images.

Very, very bad: AI interprets the image, makes a diagnosis, prescribes treatment.
Much better: AI interprets the image and provides the most likely diagnoses and treatments, so the doctor can tackle the likely-important stuff first and not have to do so much research.

The former, however, is what is most appealing...

When you go to the floor, do them on your knees. There is no shame in that at all. Do not put your tail in the air, though. Hips in line with shoulders, and think about rolling tops of thighs to the floor. Get your heels as tight to the seat as you can, do not cross your ankles. Elbows to a 45, not straight out to the sides, which you should be doing anyway on your wall counter. Once you are good there, put your hands directly under your shoulders, elbows graze your rib cage, and hit your triceps. You got this, I am absolutely confident. Oh! Tuck your hips, don’t allow a dip in your lower back.

2. Mass layoffs crater the economy for real people.
3. Businesses implode because AI can't actually do the job under any kind of stress, and also there's now far fewer people in a position to afford anything that's not absolutely necessary, and some things that are.

I think the problem is that there's a big difference between the 'public models' and the 'private ones'; that is, ones that are trained on just internet searchable info and those are are trained on industry specific, research docs that are trusted.

Think of a car repair AI - the ones that just reference general internet info versus ones that are trained on car repair manuals, ASCE tests, insurance docs, etc. with specific guidelines that will only cough up an answer based on real, verify knowledge.

I'm not sure there really is such a thing in the law -- "industry specific, research docs that are trusted" -- in the sense you mean, for a variety of reasons. A lot of law and lawyering is motivated reasoning, including judicial opinions. There are treatises. But if treatises really gave definitive answers to today's problems, law would have been on autopilot long ago, all without AI.

The other thing people don't understand:
"Excess unemployed males. No prospects. That's fertile ground for a nasty global conflict

Those men are already unemployed; those jobs were either taken by said Karens, fat minority women, and indians, or were eliminated so they could hire those useless people for DEI purposes. Things are really, really bad for men under 30 or so. I have watched countless talented young men get passed over for trannies and ghettopotamuses - without any power to do anything about it - and it's destroying the industries in question and creating a lot of angry dudes.

There is a lot to this. Most people, when they hear "AI," hear "Large Language Model" (LLM) with massive datasets. Like OpenAI's ChatGPT and the like. That is a kind of AI.

Then there is smaller-scale, focused, private (or at least domain-specific) stuff like you're describing. And then there's discriminant AI used for identification, not generation ("this picture is of a 2012 Honda Accord"), and is much more useful (and harder, and very scary).

But the dirty secret is that the so-called "hyperscalers" don't really need to be a thing for anything but the first category. The AI bubble is riding on the hyperscalers, and the hyperscalers produce the least value and the greatest cost. Bigger is not always better.

Discriminative AI is already used by Russian battlefield drones for "last stretch" target acquisition and guidance. By drones, I include the frames that they put on old Soviet gravity bombs to turn them into precision glide bombs; they have their own version of GPS, which is similarly jammable, but inertial guidance can put it in the neighborhood, and then when it gets close, comparing the FPV camera image with stored photos of the target location can put it on the nose. It is rumored that they are also up to doing battlefield tests of using Discriminative AI in the "loitering munition" kind of "suicide drones" to pick out enemy soldiers and vehicles, and maneuver to hit them automatically.

But I assume you meant Generative AI, and I rather assumed that the main point of Tesla's humanoid robots is to be able to wipe your grandparents' butts at lower cost and greater dignity than a nursing home. Not as sexy as combat use, but the total human value add could be immense.

Same thing for the computer revolution in the 60s/70s/80s and the Internet revolution in the 90s/00s.

Recent history shows that too many big corp CEOs don't understand the company they lead, let alone the market they operate in. Major structural changes are difficult to reverse when the ball is rolling down hill.

More companies are wondering why the hell they are spending so much money on cloud computing when they could be doing it on-site for so much cheaper.

Microsoft's CEO's claim to fame is building Azure. We are reaching Peak Cloud (if not already passed due to the tech bust) so to keep the stock options worth anything, they have to whore out whole new technologies that come with subscriptions.

They say that the new Windows and Office products are 30-40% AI written - which explains why people are ditching Windows for Linux and iOS.

Most surgeries are a shit application for AI due to the challenge of getting legit real time information to the machines, plus the fact that the popular LLMs are bullshit engines and fact based models are lagging behind becuse they aren't as flashy (and because the easiest humans to replace are also bullshitters)

But DIAGNOSIS is an excellent application. You get to apply the pattern recognition without realtime issues or a need to do anything to real objects. Think of the machines as being very talented at Where's Waldo.

Yes. I saw something a few months back that really resonated. Just an indie guitar shop owner, demoing on YouTube a couple of "headphone amps" that plug directly into an electric guitar and do much of the work of an effects board and amp/cab simulator, but in a little dongle with headphone and USB-C jacks. But they have mobile apps that can connect to them with Bluetooth, so you can adjust all the settings in fine detail. And as it was timing out, he muttered, "Why does everything have to be so slow?"

Sometimes, when I'm by myself, I make spontaneous noises. (I suppress it around others.) Some are micro-ditties. Lately, I've been singing this one a lot:

"Why is everything stoo-pid
Why is everything gay."

It's the same sentiment, basically. Everything is slow, stupid, and gay, now; but why?

Stephen Colbert Involved in Yet Another Leftwing Propaganda Hoax

The FCC requires "equal time" for political candidates except in the case of what are called "bona fide news programs," who can have on who they like.

Stephen Colbert's unfunny propaganda show is obviously not a "bona fide news program," so it does not meet the requirements for the exception. If Colbert features a Democrat during an election period, he must have on that Democrat's opponents, or else CBS is required to grant those opponents a block of free air time.

Colbert had on yet another far left Democrat as a "guest" on his "comedy" show, the fake Christian leftwing Democrat James Talarico, who is running against Jasmine Ratchet and some others to be the Democrat candidate entitled to lose the Senate race to muh boy Ted Cruz.

Here's some of this Minister of Satan's recent teachings:

Texas Dem who said God is 'nonbinary' now says atheists are more ‘Christ-like’ than Christian colleagues

The Texas House Democrat has history of controversial faith-related statements, including claiming 'God is nonbinary' in 2021

...

"I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikh Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians I serve with in the Texas legislature," Talarico responded. "It is about how you treat other people."

The Texas Democrat is running to serve as a U.S. senator and joined the podcast to discuss the race and how it's expected to be an uphill battle for a progressive Democrat. A Texas Democrat has not been elected to the Senate since 1988, with Talarico looking to unseat Republican Sen. John Cornyn.

"There is a backlash growing in Texas against the extremism and the corruption that we're seeing at all levels of our government, and I'm seeing it everywhere I go," Talarico explained of what he's seeing from the campaign trail to flip the seat blue.

The conversation largely focused on religion, with the former school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian explaining that he leans on his Christianity as he works in the "halls of power" while taking aim at conservatives.

"Christian nationalism, you see people's faith growing out of their politics, right?" he said. "They're baptizing their partisanship, and they're calling that Christianity. And it's why it doesn't resemble the life, death and teachings of Jesus Christ, right?

"These Christians in Congress, these Christian nationalists, they want a Christian nation unless it means providing health care to the sick, unless it means funding food assistance for the hungry or raising the minimum wage for the poor.

His remarks sparked outrage among conservatives on social media who argued Democrats "love putting Christians down" and mocked him for previous comments on religion with one user responding, "says the dude who claims the pro-abortion position is Biblical."

"James Talarico has once again broken out his anti-Christian Christian shtick," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said of the comments. "There isn't a woke cause that he won't claim to find buried in the Bible. Twisting Christian principles to promote woke talking points might play well with coastal elites in New York and California, but he's going to learn real quick that won't fly in Texas."

Yes, I question his Christianity, and given that he feels free to question the Christianity of actual Christians, I feel justified.

CBS decided it did not want to gift free air time to Jasmine Ratchet and the other lesser candidates, so they are not airing this latest propaganda episode.

The FCC was not involved in this decision. CBS decided that they did not want the expense of giving free airtime to Democrat candidates, and so they cancelled the latest shit episode of this low-rated already-money-losing pit of despair.


Colbert, Talarico, and various other damp communists in the propaganda media are claiming "censorship!" and claiming Trump is too afraid to let them speak.

They're all sorts of fake-outraged and looking to gain attention and donations from the hoax.

We're worried you're about to flip a male Cub Scout on to his belly, Sally.

What would Christ say about bearing false witness?


Nathan Leamer
@NathanLeamerDC

This is a blatant lie by James Talarico. The FCC didn't refuse to air his conversation with Stephen Colbert.

It was CBS who didn't air it because they will not give equal time to his political opponent in the lead up to the Texas primary.

Broadcast licenses should not be used to push the political agenda of a host or show.

Ah, yes. The contingent of "Christians" and even some Christians who think that Jesus said the greatest commandment is "Thou shalt be nice".

And no "Love your neighbor as yourself" is not "thou shalt be nice" because I'm not "nice" to myself. "Nice" is how you act when you want something from someone (including just wanting to avoid conflict.)

Love is sometimes nice, but is always truthful. "Nice" rarely is.

25 Speaking of assholes in the show biz . . .

The New Orleans Police Department tells TMZ ... Shia [LaBeouf] was allegedly getting way too rowdy at a bar in the French Quarter. A staff member got Shia to leave ... but the actor allegedly began pummeling the staffer with a closed fist as soon as they got outside.
Alleged victims say Shia finally left, but then came back ... and this time he was even more aggressive, according to the police report.
Police say it took multiple people to hold Shia down, and when they let him up, police say Shia went after the same worker from earlier, striking that person in the upper body ... then allegedly punched another person in the nose.
At that point, the 39-year-old actor was held down again ... but this time they didn't let him up until police arrived, shortly after 12:45 AM.

Posted by: Ok, I guess I'll be the one to ask at February 17, 2026 04:55 PM (2Ez/1)

59 OK, possibly unpopular opinion here.

God made both men and women in his image. Therefore, God has both male and female characteristics. And both men and women have minds that are made in God's image, each sex reflecting different aspects of God's mind.

However, God does not need to reproduce, so he does not have the genitalia or secondary sexual characteristics of either sex. He added those so that we would want to get it on and be fruitful and multiply.

However, because humans are uncomfortable, to say the least, with androgeny, He presents Himself and His Son, as males, since patriarchal societies generally work the best, thus foreshadowing His Kingdom, which will work the best of all.

Nearly every church in Berkeley and Oakland has signs out front saying things like "Jesus was an immigrant" and/or "Ceasefire now! Free Palestine!" and/or "Black Lives Matter," etc. and the basically ALL have to have at a minimum the Pride flag, more commonly the Trans flag.

Actually, Talarico is a demon.

I'm seriously surprised he hasn't said "Since all babies who die in infancy go to heaven, the abortionist has saved more people than Billy Graham".

He probably hasn't because that would be an admittance that an embryo is a human with a soul and the Demonic Party would cancel him.

Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at February 17, 2026 05:02 PM (a3CJ+)

89 Talarico strikes me as one of those Tent Revival Preachers that carries around a large banner showing a 1-800 # for donations to his ministry that used to play on local informercials where callers could bet on which retarded kid got bit first when they were lowered into a pit containing rattlesnakes. Every once in a while they'd break away to show him giving a shot of some liquid to someone in a wheelchair, who'd get up and dance, before cutting back to the snake pit.

91 "The Texas House Democrat has history of controversial faith-related statements, including claiming 'God is nonbinary' .."

Well, God is neither male nor female, so in that sense God is "non-binary". For Christians, God is referred to as "Father", and God's Bible pronoun is generally "He". But God is Holy Spirit, not male or female spirit.

Same for resurrected Christians, afaik, but the spiritual body thing is seen more "through a glass darkly".

Not sure it helps save souls to take money from some citizens and provide it to others by force. It's worth a discussion at least, no?

128 G-D is the Creator. Things might be clearer if one uses created in His vision rather than in His image.

That would be doctrinaly bankrupt though.

Visio Dei isn't anywhere near Imago Dei.

Imago, is far more rich in its multi-layered meaning, in this case "image" of a king or deity signifies representative - someone who embodies the authority of the One represented.

"vision" erases the doctrine that humans are the ambassadors or vice-regents of God. "vision" doesn't imply the exercise of stewardship, justice and care as reflections of God's character.

"vision" lacks the reason, moral awareness, relational capacity and spiritual capacity that is present in the Imago Dei.

131 "Gen 1: 27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them."

The word for "mankind" is "adam". Adam was created in God's image (holy spirit).

My view is God gave Adam holy spirit (on a condition). Eve did not have holy spirit, which is why the Devil could deceive her. Adam was not deceived, he just chose ... poorly, to go along with Eve.

"Male and female created he them" has to be the body/soul part, and creating "them" is different than creating adam.

This guy was sidestepping the obvious by calling God non-binary: humans have two sexes. He’s choosing not to say that God didn’t create a “non-binary” human in the beginning. Is he implying God made a mistake, or that God was neither yet inexplicably created one man and one woman?

And really, this aligns with trans ideology: people are born in the wrong bogus - God made a mistake. Alrighty!!

Senate Bill 6346, dubbed the “millionaires’ tax” by supporters, would impose a 9.9% levy on personal income over $1 million, or on combined household income of more than $1 million.

Opponents, including all Senate Republicans, argue the bill is unconstitutional and will drive wealthy residents and business investment out of the state.

Supporters of the legislation argue it will fix a regressive tax code, fund education and healthcare, and provide tax relief for working families.

The legislation would apply the 9.9% tax on business income more than $1 million, and the Chelan County Republican said in his farming business, there are good years and bad years.

My view is God gave Adam holy spirit (on a condition). Eve did not have holy spirit, which is why the Devil could deceive her. Adam was not deceived, he just chose ... poorly, to go along with Eve

In "Paradise Lost" Eve begs Adam to let her go out alone and she says its dangerous, and then she gets all huffy and says "You don't trust me!" and whines until he lets her go, she gets tricked by the Serpent, eats the fruit and comes back to Adam and he's like I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT.

And she says: "Well, you shouldn't have let me go! I was too weak."

"But you threw a fit and said you could handle it!"

The grammatical gender is always masculine, IIRC. But the Divine nature has neither parts nor passions, and is metaphysically simple. (This was accepted by both the Eastern and Western Churches, and by Luther and Calvin.) So the use of "nonbinary" is simply not relevant to God.

236 James Talarico went to Austin Seminary, which is Presbyterian (USA).A liberal denomination.

Many denominations of Presbyterians in this country; and I say this from ancestors of French Huguenots who became Presbyterian by marrying Scots, fleeing the Church of Scotland.

I was raised Presbyterian Church of America (PCA), who are one of the conservatives and Bible believing groups. Unshaken by secular woke beliefs.

Both Presbyterian (USA) and the Church of Scotland now accept both ghey marriage and gheys in the pulpit.

This explains his judgement, Ace. It was said over a decade ago, with numbers dropping rapidly in Presbyterian (USA) that they would eventually merge with Unitarians. He sounds Unitarian.

I am converting in months to become Roman Catholic. One reason due to the horrific betrayal of the Presbyterian Church USA. Most of the congregation left the church in FL due to the Presbytery vote of gheys in the pulpit. We fought. It was horrific.

There are wolves in sheep's clothing in every aspect of life, like this guy. Like the anti-ICE protesters, and those who support illegals with Bible verses picked out and determined under their lens as cafeteria "Christians."

Jesse Jackson Departs This Mortal Coil to Shake-Down Heaven and Demand God Give $300,000 p.a. Jobs to His Retarded Cousins and Staffers

He will be missed.

By some. I assume.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a defining figure in late 20th-century American politics and the civil rights movement, died early Tuesday at 84 after a prolonged battle with illness, according to a statement from his family and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

Jackson had been living with progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative neurological disorder similar to Parkinson's disease. He was hospitalized in mid-November as his condition deteriorated. After disclosing the diagnosis publicly in 2017, Jackson referred to it as a "physical challenge" and continued to appear at public events and comment on political matters even as his health declined.

In a statement posted online, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition said Jackson "died peacefully on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family," describing him as a civil rights leader whose impact spanned generations.

President Trump weighed in with a lengthy tribute, noting that he had known Jackson "long before becoming President." Trump called him "a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and 'street smarts,'" and described him as "very gregarious -- someone who truly loved people."

He certainly loved lodging invented accusations of racism against companies and then coercing them into paying him millions and hiring on his staffers and useless family members.

Unrelated, except by the word "Rainbow:" Chuck Schumer wants to give the gay flag equal status with the American flag.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer escalated the culture fight Sunday, announcing he will introduce federal legislation to make the Pride flag a "congressionally authorized symbol" -- elevating it to the same statutory category as the American flag, military service flags, and the POW/MIA banner.

In a post on X, Schumer accused President Trump of attacking "not just the LGBTQ community," but "all of us who care about pride and equality in NYC," after a Pride flag was removed earlier this month from the Stonewall National Monument.

"The Stonewall Inn is sacred ground," Schumer claimed, framing the episode as an assault on civil rights history rather than a dispute over federal flag policy.

The flap began after the Department of the Interior issued guidance directing that "non-agency" flags be taken down at National Park Service sites. The Pride flag flying near the Stonewall Inn came down under that directive before later being reinstalled.

Schumer's proposed legislation would lock in formal federal recognition for the Pride flag, placing it under congressional protection and insulating it from future administrative policy shifts.

22 As to the old story about JJ trying to wave the bloody shirt:

Jackson appeared on television and in media shortly after (including the next morning) wearing blood-stained clothing (a shirt or turtleneck/sweater), which he said came from King's blood.
Some eyewitness accounts and associates (including criticisms from figures like Ralph Abernathy or others in SCLC circles) accused Jackson of exaggerating his closeness to the dying King and/or deliberately smearing or rubbing blood on his shirt for dramatic effect or to appear more central to the event. This became a point of contention in later years, resurfacing during Jackson's political campaigns (e.g., criticisms from Ed Koch in 1988 or Al Sharpton in 2001 referencing the blood on clothes).

I met him once in the late '90's when I tended bar for a private party for him and his gaggle of hangers on.

By then, the fame and money had gotten to him and it was sad to see him devolving into a celebrity caricature performing for his fans instead of a true leader.

His entourage were snooty, entitled, wealthy elitists who enjoyed mistreating "the help", with the exception of Marion Barry who was lovely, and reassured me they were naturally like that and that their treatment of me wasn't personal.

He hung out with me instead of them because he couldn't stand their hypocrisy. He was there for the cause, not for the celebrity.

Well, sure. If by "scared ground" you mean a filthy, semen-stained, mafia-owned (!) shithole catering to underclass freaks, perverts, junkies, pimps, rentboys, and criminals.

Stonewall was a filthy, low-class shithole even by 1960s gay-bar standards. No self-respecting gay would have been caught dead in there.

57 One of the seminal event of the civil rights movement was Jackson threatening to march on Cicero IL to terrorize white neighborhoods.

Similar to the Illinois Nazis always threatening to march on Jewish neighborhoods (as immortalized in the sacred film about the quest for funds for orphans.)

It was what made him- an angry punk on TV news saying over and over "I'm going to Cicero!"

109 Schumer's proposal was prompted by the trump administration removing the pride flag at the Stonewall monument. Folks, that's the first pride. That's the beginning of the fight for equal rights of lgbtq people.

Such a bill is useless political theater. The people of New York City will just put the flags back illegally anyway.

Schumer and Jeffries will do absolutely anything to avoid confronting the real problems. While I think its good legislation, it isnt the fucking priority.

Real bold of Schumer too after NYC basically laughed at the administration and said "Nah". I'm still going to vote against you in the primaries

Schumer is pretty much a useless twit, but maga is really trying to erase lgbtq people. This is a fight to prevent people from sending lgbtq kids to conversion camps where they are basically tortured mentally and sometimes physically to act straight, to prevent queer and trans people from being murdered.

Politicians are so stupid. Dems have republicans on the ropes, not because they have great ideas but because MAGA can’t stop making things worse for themselves. All Dems have to do is not do something stupid. Like this.

Don Lemon might be a candidate, but then he shouldn't have been crying about getting indicted, he should have held a press conference riling up a bunch of supporters gathered around him about the injustice against a black man. Instead he tried to make it about "First Amendment press" persecution.

It was literally impossible to take the vaunted trains from there to England. We had to arrange a drive to some newly converted NATO base airport and fly to a small airport near London to get back to the group.

Alleged victims say Shia finally left, but then came back ... and this time he was even more aggressive, according to the police report.
Police say it took multiple people to hold Shia down, and when they let him up, police say Shia went after the same worker from earlier, striking that person in the upper body ... then allegedly punched another person in the nose.
At that point, the 39-year-old actor was held down again ... but this time they didn't let him up until police arrived, shortly after 12:45 AM.

310 I saw a conference that included Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorne, and one of the other speakers was someone who was OBVIOUSLY younger than them talking about his experience at the stonewall riot. During the conversation about stonewall he mentioned "we didn't have transgender, but we would offer ourselves by tying our shirts, since crossdressing was illegal, (or some shit)" he said,and went on like that for a couple senetences, then he said that being there during the start of the riots, when they very started, he was 14.

So was it Stonewall that's sacred ground? or that 14 year old crossdressing wannabe tranny that Schumer MAY have have came "across" or some other preposition, IYKWIMAITYD, almost 60 years ago?

Palestinian Activist in NYC Calls for Dogs to be Banned as "Indoor Pets" -- No Longer Permitted Inside People's Private Apartments -- Because They are "Unislamic" and "Dirty"

You have no idea how long it took me to find this article, because Google is deliberately suppressing it. Google only returns hits about Florida Congressman Randy Fine facing a "backlash" for saying about Muslims, if you make us choose between dogs and Muslims, the choice is easy, we'll choose dogs.

Google will absolutely not let you find the story that prompted his comment. It's pretty hard to find it on X, requiring you to write out the exact headline.

But it's true, the never-ending cultural imperialism of the Umma now wants you to give up your dogs.

Here's what this vicious Colonizer and advisor to Zohran Mamdani said:

nerdeenhatesdogs.jpg


A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic.

Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.'

'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X.

After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'.

'[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something,' she wrote.

'It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you're not cleaning it.

'Also clearly trying to weigh in on an issue unaware of the current NYC discourse where we're collectively (jokingly) hating on dogs given all the visible dog s**t in the unmelted snow.'

Muslims typically do not keep dogs as pets as many believers feel they are meant to be used for work such as herding or hunting.



This is not a new story: Muslims have been demanding a ban on dogs in the Western countries they colonize for years.


More from David Strom.

The rabid Gaza propagandist and caller-for-the-destruction-of-Israel took the chance to spit up more propaganda about the Gaza Dog Genocide:

The Colonizer now offers three completely contradictory defenses: In some posts, she says she was just "joking" and now all the "Zionists" are upset, which was her intention.

But she also claims this is all very serious, because "conversations" to ban dogs are already occurring in the government.


Nerdeen Kiswani
@NerdeenKiswani

16h

Some people are rewriting the timeline around the "dog discourse," so here are the actual receipts.

I did not start this conversation. I stepped into one that NYC politicians, media, and thousands of residents were already having.

So is it a joke, or a serious policy initiative?


In the below post, she says she was serious, but only because she doesn't want these magnificent creatures locked up in tiny apartments, but roaming free on the city streets as they do in shithole Muslim countries.

Nerdeen Kiswani

People replying with dog pics like it’s supposed to upset me. Meanwhile those pics are fitting my spirits bc I think they’re adorable. All I was saying is they deserve better than a life confined to a tiny apartment w/ scheduled bathroom breaks on sidewalks.

If anything, sounds like I care more about their quality of life than the people using them as a gotcha.

2/16/26 - On Dogs And Those Who Hate Them

Some of us have lived in Muslim countries and understand how they treat dogs, @jaketapper. During one of my deployments, we had to inform the locals, in no uncertain terms, that no, they would not conduct their annual dog cull. In other words, they were not going to go out and kill every stray dog they could find. And they wisely complied.

Your fake fussy outrage doesn't overcome what we saw.

I expect there are some Muslims who don't consider dogs haram and who are willing to treat dogs in the manner of civilized people. That doesn't mean that's not a tenet of faith for a significant portion of Muslims. A significant number of Muslims hate dogs. And, in fact, some Muslims who have come to the West have demanded that we accommodate their bigotry against these wonderful creatures.

So, no. I'm not going to accommodate anyone who dislikes dogs for any reason. My dogs are more important than people who hate or dislike dogs. If you think that makes me a bad person or a bigot, I am completely indifferent to your opinion.

This is not open to debate. We're going to keep our dogs as we always have. If you come to our civilization, you're going to respect our pets, or there's going to be trouble. John Wick is the moderate position on this issue.

Fellow vets, feel free to share your dog stories from the Muslim world for the benefit of @jaketapper and others who want to shame you into submission.

44 You have AOC talking about a wealth tax. Why? - because she was told that is the next step by the WEF or whomever. Same as she was told to push the green newd eal.

Well you also have a big push to remove dogs from the West. To "accommodate" these barbarians. The Home Office in UK is pushing to reduce dogs and pubs in the rural districts. This is a coordinated push, and the next step in their slow boil conquest.

There will be push back, but will we send them all back to their sand hill peninsula? No, not yet. Soon. When will we realize it is coordinated.

ehhhh not really

Chows are for instance very happy in the city. They are pretty non-athletic and very clean. Two walks a day and to do their business and they're good. They don't jump and aren't huge on running. (they can still tear the face of a slapping Muslim)

When I was living in town a guy in our building had Irish Wolfhounds! They were just couch potatoes! excellent city dogs, believe it or not. We met up on the Parkway and the dogs would say hi and quickly pee and all of us would just go back up the elevator lol.

you just have to get the right dogs for the apartment situation. and it can be (certain) a big dog.

With respect to the Indian subcontinent, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists, Jains, and likely the various tribal religions all seem to be able to live here without murdering people or otherwise causing trouble. Only one religion common to the area causes problems.

When I was stationed in Egypt in 1990, all of our observation posts had a pet dog, a rescue from the packs of ferals roaming around the desert. It was such an institution that the Army adjusted the MTOE for the support company to add an Army veterinarian for the dog's health.

We had an incident where a pack of ferals got under the wire of a remote outpost and tried to attack the post dog. The soldiers fought off the pack with buttstocks and bayonets until the squad leader said "screw this" and popped a couple of dogs with some 5.56 justice. He got Article 15'd and demoted from E6 to E5, but decided that it was worth it.

161 Banning dogs, like allowing prayer on streets, is a way for them to assert that their needs as a muslim is superior to anyone else's.

It is a way of establishing the order of power, with islam on top. They accept our rules when inferior (in numbers and power) but when superior, we have to accept their rules. Forcing us to is the goal. It is a pure power play and they are taught every Friday that a day will come that the West will be conquered and it is their job to force the issue with every encounter with a non-muslim. They get points for being obnoxious to us. That is their slave labor of conquest.

176 (Most) Muslims really believe their sharia law is supreme, and they have the right/duty to enforce it in law, and personally in one on one confrontations.

This belief also means they can steal from, rape, and/or murder all infidels, and still be at one with allah. Some act on that in Western societies even now, while others are waiting till they acquire "critical mass".

184 "Phobia" means "fear".
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia


Actually, that's a mistranslation that started in the 19th century and has frustratingly never gone away.

When German/Austrian early psychologists first starting coining words with the Greek suffix "...phobia." their original intended meaning was "loathing" or "disgust' or "revulsion." When their works were first translated into English, however, the new German words were translated inaccuarely to mean "fear of." That mistranslation stuck, and to this day almost everyone thinks that "-phobia" as a suffix means "fear of," when in fact it was supposed to mean "revulsion at."

No, The Inquisition was a court established to secure the Reconquista. It had power to detain, interrogate, imprison, and sentence anyone suspected of being a muslim, sympathizer, or co-conspirator (this is often conflated to being non-Christian by both the inquisitors and historians, but the goal was to make sure the reclamation of the land stuck.)

They mostly expelled the traitors and invaders, seizing their property for the church. They were greatly feared as if you were suspected of being an underground muzzie, they would stick you in a cell for weeks as they investigated. They actually killed very few but that what they are blamed for. They did confiscate a lot of assets and made a lot of mistakes, but that is always the case with such absolute power.

A dog is much better protection than a door or window camera where I live (fairly looking area in the daytime) any day of the week. Had people try to pry a rear window up one evening when I was inside by myself. The last dog (passed last June) detected it well before I did and ran them off.

Once owned a little terrier that someone had tied onto a pole along a highway. She became a great guard dog as she sounded huge & potentially violent when anyone knocked or loitered outside.

I will take any dog, no matter what said dog has rolled in, over filthy muzzies any day. The dog can bathe. The muzzie chooses filth. They have no standing to state that dogs are dirty.

And dogs love people. Muzzies love themselves.

the Islamic sacred book, believed to be the word of God as dictated to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel and written down in Arabic.

from Arabic qur'ān ‘recitation’, from qara'a ‘read, recite’.

Post 1491 it was for identifying and expelling Jews from Spain, and as a lot of them were Spanish first and Jewish second there was a large Converso population (the rest emigrated and became the Ladino population in the Med) Part of the function was to identify New Christians who were backsliders or falsely claiming to be converts - hence the term "secret Jew".
Spanish has a saying that "new Christians eat pork three times a day" both riffing on the fact that the jews in Spain often had been rich through being traders and bankers but that they also had to prove their conversion. It is used now to say that new converts are the most enthusiastic.
In chasing down the false Conversos, it also chased down heretics, though that was a side issue in Spain.
Heresy was often political, since it was seen as treason to the crown, so that was a later function of the inq.

(thank you for allowing me to use my BA in Spanish)

The real screw over of the heretics came in response to the Albigensian Crusade, which ended in Carcasonne

330 264 176 (Most) Muslims really believe their sharia law is supreme, and they have the right/duty to enforce it in law, and personally in one on one confrontations.

This belief also means they can steal from, rape, and/or murder all infidels, and still be at one with allah. Some act on that in Western societies even now, while others are waiting till they acquire "critical mass".

It seems the Musselmen can give you fourteen different passages from the KO-ran for each particular tenet of their faith. They select the one to use depending on how they want to portray themselves to a group of infidels. Harmless, warlike, peaceful, death to Joos, whatever. Doesn't matter. The Bottom Line for Believers is: Everything in the KO-ran boils down to Allah permitting me to torture, rape, and keeel you if I feel like it. I can find a passage justifying pretty much anything.

333 Islam is a heresy of Christianity, wherein all personal responsibility is removed so long as one's head hits the mat five times a day. "Islam" means submission, to Allah, who is an animist moon god from Arab antiquity. Allah is above any and all human understanding, so he acts however he likes, without any logic or sensible motivation.

Where Christians are urged to be more Christlike, muzzies are urged to be more Mohammed like, which means fear of dogs, marrying 9-year-olds, sex with little boys and goats because pleasure is "rational" in their culture, and all the rest of the nonsense. There is no Confession, no Absolution, no sense of sin or atonement, only submission to Allah.

Hence all the murdering and raping. Nothing can be denied to he who is like Ol' Moe.

Nauseating. And certainly NOT a religion.

With respect to the Indian subcontinent, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists, Jains, and likely the various tribal religions all seem to be able to live here without murdering people or otherwise causing trouble. Only one religion common to the area causes problems.

Catholicism was the basis for the kingdom, and any political heresy was a revolt against the state. Jews kept themselves socially separate from the main culture (though they did not live in ghettos and Jewish towns like the Ashkenazi in Eastern Europe) but due to their position in the caliphate and the Christian kingdoms they had better access to trade and were bankers and money lenders.
Many other Christians did this as well, the most famous was El Cid, Ruy Diaz Bibar who conquered and held Valencia - and Valencia was crushed for that as well. The major problem was a political and social one to unify multiple kingdoms, and the Ladinos did not fit.
as they became a colonial power and rich, it became a political issue, and the Inquisition became a political power without controls. That lasted until Napoleon's Iberian campaigns and the Bourbon aftermath

Yet Another "Trans" Mass Shooting the Media Will Pretend Was Perpetrated by a "Woman"

This mass shooting at a "youth hockey game."

They cannot stop mass-murdering children.

A youth hockey game in Rhode Island erupted into chaos when gunfire tore through a crowded rink, leaving two family members dead, three others critically wounded, and the suspected shooter dead in an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said.

The violence broke out in Pawtucket during a local high school matchup, sending families diving for cover as first responders swarmed the arena. Witnesses described panic in the stands as shots echoed through the building and parents shielded children amid the confusion.

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told WPRI that the suspected gunman was 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who went by the name "Roberta." Authorities say Dorgan opened fire on family members inside the rink before turning the weapon on himself.


...


WPRI reported that Dorgan had changed his gender identification several years ago. In 2020, he went to the North Providence Police Department and informed officers that he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery, adding that his father-in-law wanted him out of their shared North Providence residence because of it.

Court records cited by the station show that around the same time, Dorgan's wife filed for divorce. In the filing, she referenced "gender reassignment surgery" and what she described as "narcissistic + personality disorder traits" as factors contributing to the collapse of the marriage.

Wait, the dick-removal surgery didn't cure the serious psychological comorbidities? That's strange. Genital Chop-Shop Salesmen always tell their patients that getting their genitals mutilated will cure all mental illnesses.

The suspect's documented gender transition, detailed in police records and divorce filings, is now part of the broader factual record investigators are examining. The shooting also comes just one week after a separate mass killing in Canada involving a trans-identified suspect -- a back-to-back sequence that is already fueling debate and renewed scrutiny as critics point to what they describe as a troubling pattern of trans-linked violence.

This latest Trans Terrorist threatened he would "GO BERSERK" if people didn't respect his mentally-disordered fake pronouns.

One day before bullets tore through a Rhode Island ice rink, Robert Dorgan -- a 56-year-old transgender-identifying father who also went by Roberta Esposito -- posted a warning that now reads like a flashing red light.

"Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK," Dorgan wrote on X, venting over transgender issues and reacting to a post that referred to Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, who is transgender, as a man.

Does it seem to you that ten percent of all mass shootings are perpetrated by entitled, radicalized trans lunatics?

If so, your perception is accurate.

Or so says the AI program Perplexity. Usually we'd want numbers from the government or media, but we know damn well they will hide those numbers forever.

I just had a bit of an argument/discussion with Perplexity, one of the best research AIs out there, about the proportion of mass shooters in recent years who are transgender or trans activists. After a bit of back and forth in which Perplexity admitted to "hand waving" about the proportion of perpetrators who are trans, we settled on a plausible percentage of mass shooters since 2018 who are in that category: about 10%.

Dagen McDowell
@dagenmcdowell

New York Times avoids any mention that the alleged murderer at the Rhode Island hockey rink shooting is transgender.

(5 reporters!)

Gender identity must be relentlessly shoved down the gullet but quickly hidden when linked to any horror exposing the depravity of the crusade.

Jessa G.
@SweetGaelicGirl

My own local FOX affiliate called the shooting a "family dispute." No mention that the perp was a transgender lunatic.

@FOX13News

You can't hate the media enough.

Quillette released this video -- "We Need to Talk About Why There Are So Many Trans Shooters" -- three or four trans shooters ago, depending on how you count.

17 MtF trannies make up a plurality of mass shootings since 2015.

And they are a tiny fraction of the population.

Now, the numbers here are easy to massage. If some inner city yute does a spray and pray on another gang is it a mass shooting? You'll see this sort of thing included in some data and not others.

BUT

Traditionally when the left wanted to make the case that school shooters were mostly white guys they excluded these sort of gang related incidents, and if we put the same filter on here that the danger from trannies because very very obvious.

For Rhode Island Trans-killer, WSJ deployed no pronouns at all. It was proper name and non-gendered words like "shooter", "suspect" or "perpetrator.

I suppose the difference is that RI guy was so obviously 56 year old "male" whack job that even the WSJ could not spin him as a woman. Too bad. I wanted to read how they 'splained ex-wife and kids. Story used "Ex-wife" in headline, so when I clicked I was expecting story of how "she" killed "her" "ex-wife."

Get cancer insurance. I was worried about cancer because I have a family history. Then I got testicular cancer. Every time I had a surgery, they cut a check. Every time I did chemo, they cut a check. This was on top of my reasonably good health coverage I had through work. Cancer sucked, but that part was awesome.

I know not everyone has health insurance, but cancer insurance wasn't expensive and it was great for me.

The argument? Men don't like tats on women because it shows their creativity and men don't like creativity in women.

And, ignore for a moment the question of how paying someone to put a tattoo on you is showing YOUR creativity.

Does anyone think in aggregate that men don't like women with a strong creative side? Does pop culture argue men don't like women that can sing, or paint, or write?

Because I also know one of the pop culture complaints about "manic pixie girls" is that it create an unrealistic expectation of among other things how creative a woman should be...

It is virtually impossible to have someone committed against their will. We tried to have a family member held for treatment, and the hearing was a joke. It was basically the person in need of treatment if they wanted to leave, if they said "yes", they were released. Once you've been through that, you know it's useless.

The women (citizens) with greatest potential to populate/repopulate the middle classes and truly care about local politics in particular have been worn down by the Left for the last quarter century, now it's the men's turn.

Different tactics in that those norms are being boxed in. They get jumped over in school, work, community, even spreading into some of their homes, and the Left picks up power via youth involvement, voting, etc.

And as more people lose their grip, mentally.

Sounds like a malicious attempt from SSDI management to attack Trump to me. There are non government resources to help people sort out their options. They should the phone system give that message, have only 10% actually answer phones or the folks that really need assistance and have 90% process applications until the backlog is cleared up.

274 I heard something scary from the gal I went trail riding with. Her sister works for the Soc Security admin and they are not processing applications right now. They have been directed that everyone must answer the phones as a first priority. Her sister is thinking of retiring early because she doesn't want to be around when the SHTF because newly 68 or whatever age people don't get their checks after signing up and maybe 65 year olds don't get their medicare coverage.

Sounds like a malicious attempt from SSDI management to attack Trump to me. There are non government resources to help people sort out their options. They should the phone system give that message, have only 10% actually answer phones or the folks that really need assistance and have 90% process applications until the backlog is cleared up.

At this point is doesn't matter, probably. They've already deliberately introduced round-up resistant genetics into field crops, which will undoubtedly spread to wild plants if they haven't already, so Round-up itself is now moot as an herbicide, and they probably have some new terrible herbicide waiting in the wings.

So the company can afford to let the product go.

And any one who did so would be disqualified.

The only reason the ref didn't then and there was because he feared the hate storm from dq'ing a trannie more than enforcing the rules.
And yes, the ref knew he did that to her, he saw exactly where his hand was.
That was no where near inadvertent "in the course of a wrestling move."

She mentioned the 911 memorial and I said that I didn't think Bush handled that real well as most of them were Saudis and Bush let SA off the hook. I have mentioned to her that my job may go poof because Trump admin wants to greatly weaken NCAR, disburse its programs. I'm not in disagreement with the admin on that, NCAR has been and is very lefty. I think our little sub-group just creates honest data products useful for weather modeling; and that is probably true for 2/3 of NCAR but they have pushed CO2 Climate Change BS forever. Sadly most of the atmospheric research folks in the U.S. and Europe buy into that theory.

The farms use roundup as a spot treatment to kill weeds in the grass seed fields, it is stained with a dye so the guys can see what they spray. The workers (mostly hispanics here) are out all day with the Solo tank sprayers on their backs pumping and spraying, and they have told me that they come home at night with these dye stains all over them because the equpment always leaks and dribbles, and they spill it when they fill the sprayers, and it runs through their "protective" clothing which is mostly long sleeve dress shirts they buy used from Goodwill, and jeans.
They can wash their hands when they stop to eat lunch, but they are covered in the stuff as long as they spray. This does not include the equipment operators who have masks and coveralls and run the spray rigs and eat the overspray as long as they run the equipment and service it. That stuff is not dyed, they just use a foam marker to show where they have been in the field.

I used to use it to spray roads.

343 226 I question 10% of mass shootings are by trans lunatics. Seems much higher these last two years. But I don't follow the FNM, so I suppose the HQ bias of highlighting the trans shootings and FNMs refusal to ID the shooters as having the mental illness of gender dysphoria may be fooling me.

Posted by: PaleRider at February 17, 2026 02:09 PM (Mu+YQ)


A mass shooting is not necessarily a mass murder. Murders get top billing by the blood-lusting media. Mass or single shooting woundings, meh, likely no mention by the major news outlets unless it is someone famous. I'll bet there are a lot more mass shootings by the gun-hater's definition nationwide than you think.

Murder is baked into the "trans" equation: Have a severe identity problem? Murder parts of yourself. It's not a big step from there to murdering others who somehow threaten that identity.

Scientific consensus on the danger of Roundup (active ingredient: glyphosate) is mixed and highly debated, with major agencies providing conflicting conclusions. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified it as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (2015), citing links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Conversely, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and European agencies maintain it is "not likely to be carcinogenic" when used as directed.

While some studies and legal outcomes suggest a danger, particularly at high or prolonged exposure levels, global regulatory bodies do not universally agree that it is a carcinogen for the general population.

Operation PROTECT DONKEY-CHOMPERS: Leftwing Propaganda Media Goes Into Overdrive Claiming That AOC's Embarrassingly Incompetent Performance At Munich Was Akshually "Cogent" and Critics Are Just "Microscopically Dissecting" Her "Message"

If you took the day off yesterday, unlike me, you may have missed the story that Donkey-Chompers went to the Munich Security Conference because she's running for president and someone told her she had to show her "foreign policy chops" and so she read an issue of The Nation on the plane and figured she was all set.

She was not in fact all set. She embarrassed herself horribly -- more horribly than usual, if you can believe that -- and may have permanently damaged her ambition of becoming a Senator, let alone President of the United States.

In just a few minutes of Entitled Participation-Trophy Arrogant Stupidity, AOC shit the bed on multiple fronts:

* She asserted that the next president must impose a "wealth tax," and was embarrassed by a much better informed South American who told her to her face that Latin countries and repeatedly tried this and it had resulted in bankruptcy and immiseration every time. She also appeared entirely unaware that any new kind of federal tax can only happen if a constitutional amendment authorizes it -- the income tax was authorized by the 20th (?) amendment, a tax on wealth as opposed to income would require a separate amendment.

* She claimed that Marco Rubio was wrong that cowboys came from Spain. They did, because cowboys ride horses that only came over to America with the Spanish conquistadors. Some yesterday, Sean Davis I think, said, "How could someone with the last name Cortez not know that Cortez introduced horses to the Americas?"

* She claimed that Trump only thought he had the right to "kidnap" the dictator Maduro because Venezuela is "south of the equator" and you know those damn racist white Europeans think they're smarter and better than the Global South. Pro-Tip: Venezuela is not in fact south of the equator. I guess if you want to be charitable to a Make A Wish Foundation Pretend Presidential Candidate, you could say she was close. I mean, it is a few hundred miles from the Equator.


* Asked a lay-up, no-surprise, you-knew-this-was-coming question about the US defending Taiwan from a hypothetical Chinese invasion, this idiot literally said "um" and "you know" for a full minute before finally speaking in a (more or less) grammatical sentence, stating, essentially, Well we'll just have to hope that doesn't happen.

So you knew that the communist media was going to work hard to clean up for their communist Chubby Evita.

RCP's Tom Bevan called it yesterday:

If you think the legacy media carried water for Obama and Biden, just wait until AOC runs. Here's a taste from Bloomberg on her appearance in Munich:

protectdonkeychompers.jpg

Note that Bloomberg claims that her only critics were "Republican commentators" who "claimed" -- lied, that means -- that she was "unprepared."

Everyone with eyes and ears understands she was hideously unprepared. The analogy that occurs to everyone is that she looked like a third grader who was supposed to give a book report but didn't read the book so she just "ummed" for a minute before saying "it was a very, very, very, very good book, thank you."

Amazingly, Bloomberg claims that after she seemingly "flubbed" her answer, she came up with a "cogent" response, which was to say that we'll just have to hope and pray that China never invades Taiwan so no I won't answer your question about whether we'd defend Taiwan and I won't even sound authoritative in refusing to answer.

And it's not just "Republican commentators" who thought she looked unprepared. Gay Race Communism harpies Krystal Ball and Anna Kasparian blasted her as "not ready for prime time" and "embarrassing" and less than "mediocre."

As did a whole flock of leftwing Bird-Hand leftist Tik Tokkers.

AOC was so "big mad" that she was being held to conventional standards of cogency and preparedness that she called upon her favorite New York Time propagandist to spin a story that Akshually She Was There to Spread the Good Word About Gay Race Communism and She Succeeded Brilliantly, and of course the New York Times "stenographer" was only too eager to rally for the cause.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had anticipated a potentially frosty reception to her anti-establishment arguments at the Munich Security Conference, a venue she called "an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message."

And the visit to Germany felt high-stakes: It was the most prominent foreign trip to date by the progressive New York congresswoman, who had mostly focused on domestic priorities until now. Her remarks last week about addressing working-class concerns around the globe, and the reception from world leaders, were both eagerly awaited and highly scrutinized.

But rather than the substance of her arguments, it was her on-camera stumbles when answering questions about specific world affairs that rocketed around conservative social media and drove plenty of the discussion about her visit, as political observers speculated whether they would make a dent in a potential presidential run in 2028.

...

"This reporter came up to me and was like, 'Is Munich the new New Hampshire?' And I cannot say enough how out of touch and missing the point, genuinely, that is," Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview, referring to the state's tradition of hosting early presidential primary contests. "Global democracies are on fire the world over, and established parties are falling to right-wing populist movements."

To Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, the discourse about her visit had missed the more important point about the risks of authoritarianism -- an argument that she said had been well-received by the Europeans during two foreign policy panels, private meetings with German leaders and an address in a packed university auditorium in Berlin.

Yes, she wowed them in "private meetings." Just trust me, bro. The New York Times "reports" this account from a highly-biased source about her own awesomeness as if it's fact.

Update:

55 "an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message."

Europeans. Europeans are not responsive to a class-based message. Sure. Absolutely. Famously so.

80 Problem is, that AOC's answer that she will basically let china take Taiwan means that she is now the CCP's favorite candidate, so you can bet your bottom dollar that the chinese will fund her campaign with gobloads of laundered cash, will flod the Internet with astroturfed views and "fans" on her behalf, and in general doing everything they can get her elected -- so they can then waltz in and conquer Taiwan with no pushback from the US and its new Tampax President.

So don't count her out for 2028 yet -- she just acquired a major backer.

117 One of the interesting changes in politics that has happened recently is it used to be expected that any pol could speak extemporaneously on the political issues of the day. Yes their answers might be stupid and socialist but they were expected to be able to express those idea.

But now asking leftwing pols about the issues of the day is gotcha because they aren't actually expected to know ANYTHING.

And the answer, interestingly, is that as leftwing pols they'll just do whatever the leftwing narrative demands even if they don't know what it is...

118 I missed the Movie Thread down below. I saw the Red Sonja remake last night. It was ... odd. For a comic about a big-boobed babe beating ass in a chain-mail bikini, the movie took itself veeeery seriously. There were some interesting ideas floating around, but they were never developed, and it seems overall half the story was left on the cutting room floor.

Incredibly, the movie never even bothers to explain how RS became an almost invincible fighter. She spent her entire life alone in the woods. Yet somehow she's a commando ninja?

And yes, it's woke. It's like they went way far out of their way to make clear that RS is a stronk girlboss who Don't Need No Man. Well, she does need her male horse, who repeatedly saves her ass, and who she has almost Catherine The Great-level affection for. The director is a Wachowski-ish tranny freak.

Bad casting too. RS is too old, too thin, and way too soft for such a physical bad-ass role. The blonde bad girl would have been much better in the lead role. I kept thinking that RS got the role the same way Lauren Sanchez got on the Bezos cocket: by fucking the money man.

As long as Joe Biden didn't threaten their access to the auto-pen, they were happy to defend his total idiocy.
"Dark Biden" wasn't a Boomer-generated forced/cringe meme--that was the youths.

It was only when that access was threatened, by risking losing the election, that they panicked and dumped him.

Seriously?

Every American knows that anyone who even uses the word "class" is a damned commie. That's Karl Marx-talk, right there, you betcha.

Who does the focus-grouping for the Dems? Who had the brilliant idea to rehash the laughably anachronistic central thesis of 1848's The communist Manifesto as the Dem's new euphemistic talking point to sway the rubes over to their side? "Class"??? couldn't have chosen a worse word.

145 I ran into an interesting Juxtaposition of ideas...

The first was Ryan Long doing a skit where he was going to run as a politician solely on the political opinions of 20 year old girls - as you can imagine this was roundly denounced by leftwing commenters as pure misogyny because he presented those opinions as vapid and stupid and that we in fact need to listen to younger people because they are smarter and wiser

But then after that was another thread where there was discussion where an older woman claimed the only reason a man would ever want to date a younger women is because younger women and ignorant and easily controlled. And this had a bunch of leftwing posters agreeing.

But...these two sets of ideas are in opposition. If young women are easily duped then you don't want to adopt their ideas, and if in fact they are smarter and wiser then their elders not only would they not be dominated by an older man, but would help to educate him no?

We need to be standing for political independence and anti militarism just as much as we stand for the necessary reforms. When neoliberalism is gone, the right win. We can recognize her early accomplishments while simultaneously noting she has abandoned her responsibility to lead.

She failed simple questions, she is the best thing for the GOP. I'd still support her over Newsom, but we can do better. Thankfully the DSA is growing.

She sounded like a contender for a candidate for higher office using her wit and not deflections! Shame Fox Gossip News: She shined so well they mocked her to dissuade people from hearing her words.

Joe Crowley. They also revamped that district to add more of the Bronx (and thus more minority voters). So it wasn't the same voting demographics that Crowley had won so many times.

412 Agreeing with the point that AOC is an empty shell of actual facts/knowledge, who makes the discarded cicada's exoskeletons look brilliant...two things.

1) Her sitting "ladylike" as the British royals like Princess Catherine of Wales does with ease...AOC looks like she needs to pee badly. It is either this pose or incontinece of both her brain and bladder at the same time. Which should finish her off for politics, but look at Hillary! Ok, I think Hil's done fall out, whatever zombie state, of being thrown into a SUV probably did it for her, on top of being mean as a diamondback rattler...

2) Today, at some point, I'd like to research AOC's parental unit. Because her nose disturbs me so badly. I have never seen one like this. The squashed toad nose of flaring nostrils. That's all I look at, considering I have never listened to her.

Thanks, Ace. Donkey Chompers is fitting for her teeth/gums/gaping maw issue, and also alarming in that she could bray eventually (probably her laugh). Dat nose, doh, baffles me.

Some of them might have sniffed it out before Crowley and watched but I think it was a true ultra left insurgency that caught Crowley out. The party then broke up the team that did it and decided to bring AOC into the fold without the somewhat politically savvy leaders who set her up. I haven't heard much from the ringleader, so he may not have been as savvy once the big boys took notice.

The vote totals that Crowley needed were less than 20000 or so IIRC in a district of a few hundred thousand and more. If he did not take care to lock them down...more fool him.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

The most aggressively anti-American group in our country is academia. The sordid and tedious litany of hatred of traditional American culture in those hallowed halls is well documented. The obsessive pushing of the Marxist dialectic in all subjects, no matter how ridiculously tangential it might be is also documented. Racial and ethnic division as a tool to remake America? It has a home in our universities. The blurring of simple biological sex into a malaise of insane and incomprehensible "genders" and lunatic behaviors is accepted as normal by a shocking number of supposedly well-educated academics, and of course their mush-brained young students.

But their fanatical desire to sell our intellectual wealth to the highest bidder, especially if it is an enemy of America might be the worst thing they do!

The Seven Sons of China are Stealing our Stuff...and the academic establishment is fine with it...

If you have been to a major top-shelf university or research institution’s graduation ceremony in the last two decades, one thing that dramatically stands out is how many People’s Republic of China (PRC) nationals are receiving not just undergraduate degrees, but master’s degrees and PhDs in the most highly skilled STEM fields from biostatistics to quantum physics. From aerospace engineering to industrial design—PRC nationals are overrepresented to an outlandish degree.

Don’t forget, these are the places basic research starts, where the future technology is developed. This is also a zero-sum game with a finite number of positions. For each PRC national who is getting a PhD in a STEM field, that is one American who is not. They either don’t go, or have to find a lower-tier university to go to.


And sadly, our own government subsidizes this fifth column in the midst of our technological research!

Read the whole thing...CDR Salamander is always worth a read, and this essay is particularly on point.

America First must be all-encompassing, and must enter every facet of our society to be effective. Obviously our universities are savagely anti-American, but the fact that they are also pro-China should be a bridge too far. That China is assiduously working to further its own interests is normal. That America has so far not done anything like what the Chinese are doing is a sad commentary on how deeply the academic attitude of "America Last" has penetrated into our entire research effort.

The fix is simple: reserve 90% of all publicly funded academics for American citizens. Will we lose some bright foreign students? Absolutely. But the net benefit will dwarf what we are currently losing to the rest of the world.

The original idea was that we would be educating the B and B from around the world, and that exposure to America would ensure they'd be friendly to us as they moved into the higher echelons of government back home. Obviously, if the university tells them nothing but "America sux" that will have an impact.

Sadly, I think sports is not much further down the list in terms of being anti-American and just outright poisonous. Big professional leagues have long been captured and corrupted. That's trickled down all the way to Pee Wee leagues.

And don't get me started on the Olympics. I can't wait for this fuckfest to be over. I want to go back to never hearing about these insufferable gay douchebags and all their stupid psychodramas and perverted ideologies.

I feel bad for the (few?) athletes who train hard, go to the games to compete and represent their country, and aren't filthy commies and cocksuckers.

That's Condola Rashad as The Maid of Orleans, who was burned as a witch but became a saint. The Manhattan Theatre Club production has opened at the Samuel Friedman Theatre. It's directed by Daniel Sullivan. Condola Rashad has been nominated for four Tony Awards, including this year for "St. Joan."

But, hey, look at their big celebration of the Chinese new year and Chinese craft market right next to the pathetic orchid show! Priorities changed, bigly.

82 Any discussion of China and the future has to include the fact that the country's self-reported replacement birth rate is just over 1.

There are large portions of the country (think Beijing) where it's just under one, at 0.9.

But, reported births at Chinese hospitals show only 15 million kids under 2 right now. Out of a country supposedly with 1.4 billion.

The population collapse started a couple of decades ago. They're just in the middle of it.

Hard to project power when most of your population is old like that.

Basically you had to "partner" with a Chinese automaker if you wanted access to Chinese markets.



Even if the ChiComs allowed Western firms proper access to the Chinese market, that market isn't nearly as large as Western "elites" from Hahvahd think it is. It's about 400M or so people on the Eastern coast of China, if that. The other 1B or so Chinese consumers are illiterate rural peasants who live in huts without running water or electricity and think that public sanitation means that you shit in the street rather than in a corner of your mud hut.

137 Tiny quibble, that may not actually be correct:

It's probably not really "zero-sum". The PRC grad students who come in occupy a position that was created by a grant (NSF, DOE, NRL/ARL, whoever) to the university and, given how The World seems to work these days, it's a safe assumption that if that post weren't designed to be given to a Chinese national with the bill footed in part or in full by the PRC itself in the first place, then that position simply would not exist because the grant would not exist. They're here because the people who got them here got paid, one way or another, to get them here.

Tarantino has openly acknowleged that he stole a bunch of shit from Kubrick, even though his films don't end up being noticeably Kubrickian.

Well yes, but they also sell all over the world. Buyers literally have to do genetic testing to find out what a fish actually is, since they just lie. And there are expenses in fish farms, where they either have to use enough space for the fish to be healthy naturally (costs money) or load them up with antibiotics so they don't die from each other's poop (less expensive, but can get them banned from a market if detected). But if you buy caught fish from them, then you're contributing to the collapse of fisheries worldwide.

Years ago, I was in a class with a guy who had been in the Coast Guard, and one of their standard, ongoing functions was protecting Alaska's fisheries from Russian factory ships. Now it's the Chinese overfishing other people's waters, and they're everywhere.

You have a specific element of Kubrick that you define as Kubrickian, something you obviously despise, so you reject any other potential for influence. His entire crafting ethos gets pushed aside for the thematic intention you read into the films.

And, to flip that back on you, considering the skeeviness and nihilism of modern culture, couldn't you say that your view of Kubrick's failings are some of the most influential things in modern cinema?

>>And there we have it.

The essential element when I watch any Kubrick film is that I do not want to continue watching this film, I have pretty much seen every Kubrick film in a theater setting and have had to push through and not walk out.

As I have noted before, If after watching many Kubrick films, if you have any desire to watch them again, there is something profoundly wrong with that person.

There are exceptions and I listed them up thread.

Bottom line, Kubrick is probably my least favorite director.

263 Super late - but the Chinese culturally are not very innovative. They are smart enough, but applied engineering escapes them. They reverse engineer products and then can't make them work, so they buy western engineering expertise to fix it. And then they have to buy it again when something else goes wrong. And it is getting more diffident to find that expertise. With the shrinking young population, they are going to have even more difficulty. Don't get me wrong, their acquisition of IP both legal and illegal is a problem. But no country has done so little after acquiring or stealing so much.

My Pappaw and Great Grandpa crossed their legs with the hard cross. (Not ankle to knee, but one thigh resting on another.) I think it must have been a common thing at one time. Now, they weren't pureeing their balls, but the affectation did not seem gay.

108 I like the painting generally for the poses and the way she captures the folds and textures of the cloth. They look like something on the radio just caught their attention. The eyes are rather dull which I think hurts the effectiveness. It has the feel of a Norman Rockwell scene, a moment in ordinary life.

I saw some of her still life paintings which I think are superior to this and other of her paintings.

Gavin you can’t pitch yourself as the Democratic Trump and just be offended by something Lyin’ Ted said. At least say it’s a new low for the Zodiac Killer or some shit

Newsom is far from a Leftist. MAGA knows, they just want others to think he is

the democratic field of contenders in 2028 is looking prettyyyyy bleak. Luckily we got JD Vance as our opposition 

Can’t wait for them to shoehorn in someone against the will of their voters because it’s “their turn”. Or put up another phenomenally bad female candidate and take away all the wrong lessons from it

Newsom has no political or philosophical underpinning. He's one of the most facially power hungry people in a party filled with them. He'll say literally anything, and he has almost never any idea what he's actually saying.

He's also tied to powerful people who use him like a fuckdoll, so he's gained power.

220 Willowed:

It sounds nice, but I was living in CO when Jefferson and Douglas Counties threw out their Communist school boards and brought in conservatives.

It achieved absolutely nothing.

The teachers *immediately* went into open revolt, walked out and went on strike, lining thoroughfares with picket lines and screaming at motorists about fascism.

NEA/CEA went on a full court media press, smearing the boards as unreconstructed slavedriving racist Klansmen, and hurled cash into an off-year recall election with their advantage of concentrated interest and got them OUT.

It's not possible for a board to do very much, sadly - the people they are putatively "in charge of" are 100% spittle-flecked, barking mad ideological Marxists who are 110% dedicated to the destruction of the American enemy, and will stop at nothing to achieve it, and are backed the most powerful union on the planet. The imbalance in power and tactics isn't surmountable.

[Per Brave "AI":]

Alan Dershowitz has repeatedly praised Ted Cruz as one of the smartest students he ever taught at Harvard Law School. Dershowitz described Cruz as "off-the-charts brilliant" and said he was "among the smartest students I’ve ever had" in terms of raw intellectual ability.

Classroom engagement was a standout trait—Dershowitz recalled that on Cruz’s first day of law school, he raised his hand to challenge the professor’s views, a pattern that continued throughout the semester. Using the Socratic method, Dershowitz said Cruz disagreed with nearly everything he said but did so with such brilliant arguments that he never needed to play devil’s advocate.

Reddit (or, the far Left in general) doesn't like Newsom. He's rich, corporate, sold out trans people, supports business, etc (white male! Ewww!). They'll cheer when they think he dunks on Trump, and they'll vote for him in a general election against any Republican, but he's not in their top 3 2028 Dem primary choices.

355 Cigarette lighters were a sort of by-blow development of WWI.
"Three on a match" was a legend because of Boer War snipers. The original lighters had a little sliding snuffer, the idea being that there was less flare-up and a shorter duration for an enemy to see in trench warfare. Zippo's hinged lid was a safety improvement, guaranteeing immediate extinguishing.

The whole thing was about one-hand operation. The Boeing yoke, though not as heavy as the Consolidated wheel, pretty much requires a two-hand grip, which is why pilots wore their wristwatches with the face on the inside of their wrists. Lighting a match with a thumbnail can be a little iffy; if you have to ignite your pipe with just one motion, the lighter is better. Not an issue for how we smoke now, post-wars.

You’re not alone. My point is there is a certain irony in removing cigarettes from combat rations - smoking is unhealthy, you see. There is no in between in the US. We went from smoking on elevators, to arresting people smoking on windswept beaches. If we as a society are going to outlaw disgusting things - well smoking is pretty far down the list, actually

“Nose art” was basically outlawed on planes because it was considered obscene. Dropping flaming gasoline on people from the plane is OK. See where I’m goin’ with that?

Same. My preference is wood matches, or even cedar wicks, if available. The latter imparts a very pleasant woody note for those first crucial puffs, and ensures an even light. Butane is a good second choice, as it is neutral to the palate.

The Morning Report — 2/17/26

BooGuChiScam.jpg

Good morning kids. Another day, another transexualism/Leftist-fueled mass slaughter to report.

Police identified the gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon as Robert Dorgan, a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants.

The 56-year-old father, who shot four family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink, used the female alias Roberta Esposito, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a press conference Monday night. 

“We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan,” Goncalves said. “We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last name of Esposito.”

. . . A woman who was seen leaving the Pawtucket police station earlier in the day said the gunman was her father, who “has mental health issues” and was “very sick.”

No it's all of us who are sick for not using the preferred pronouns and objecting to genital mutilation of children in the name of diversity or something. If you think because you live in a reliably red/conservative/normal town or state and think you are immune from this insanity, think again my friends.

The School District of New Richmond in Wisconsin secretly implemented a transgender bathroom policy, and on last Tuesday night during an explosive school board meeting, parents revolted en masse. 

New Richmond, a small northwestern city of only 10,000, is like many communities in the region — mostly white, conservative, and broadly working and middle-class. It sits in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, where I’m currently running for Congress in 2026 and where President Trump won by more than 20 points in 2024. . .

. . . On Tuesday, I saw New Richmond fathers and mothers refuse to surrender. New Richmond leaders, however, did. 

This is why all elections matter. From your local school board to your member of Congress. If we want schools that reflect our values and laws that protect our daughters, we must elect leaders willing to stand firm in their convictions, protect the vulnerable, and defend the truth.

Elsewhere, DC is evidently dealing with a massive sewage spill. No, Maxine Waters did not give a speech . . .

. . . the Potomac Interceptor release is poised to become the largest sewage spill in U.S. history.

Reportedly approaching one of the largest wastewater spills in US history, the Potomac Interceptor collapse is now entering a pivotal stretch as DC Water ramps up pumping capacity to 114 million gallons per day, while E. coli levels near the collapse site remain staggeringly high.

While we're on the topic of toxic effluent, I give you the recently discovered ramblings of Eric "Yum-Yum" Swalwell, a vile, compromised Chi-Com intel asset posing as an American politician.

Graphic erotic poetry written by Democrat California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell resurfaced this week, along with his past advocacy for pardoning two criminals convicted of killing law enforcement officers.

Swalwell, who announced his run for governor on late night TV, was born in Iowa and primarily raised in the San Francisco Bay Area with three younger brothers. He attended Campbell University in North Carolina starting in 1999, where he majored in government and politics and contributed to the student newspaper. One piece, a raunchy poem titled “Hungover From Burgundy,” depicts two lovers chasing each other, with blood coming into play as they kiss. The magazine described Swalwell at the time as an “active member of the Campbell University student body,” a writer for the Campbell Times and someone completing his third screenplay. (RELATED: Inside The Scenario Where Two Republicans Win California’s Jungle Primary)

“And there beauty was, formless and magnificent— A flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and She ran. Atop my hotel she stopped And I lept for cloth and tan, My anxious arm she bit— my scar is beautiful. While I screamed, She bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, Till blood rolled down our chins, For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting,” Swalwell wrote.

Given that this is Swalwell, I read the word "parting" as Farting".


While we're on the subject of noxious flatus, there is quite a contingent of individuals putatively Americans and on the American winter Olympic team who are opening most of their time running down their own country.


Arguably the most execrable is this Eileen Gu shit-whore . . . Who actually competes for the Red Chinese team!

Gu of course isn’t the first American athlete to defect to China, but she’s certainly the most prominent—and likely the most wealthy. According to Forbes, Gu is the fourth highest-paid female athlete in the world, in just a few years amassing a fortune worth some $23 million. Of that, only about $100,000 comes from skiing, and the rest from lucrative modeling contracts and major brand endorsements, many in China where Gu is a superstar.

This makes Gu an ideal ambassador and propagandist for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In that role, she has dutifully avoided answering even the most basic questions about her citizenship. To compete for China in the Olympics, Gu must have a Chinese passport, and since China doesn’t allow dual citizenship there has been speculation for years that she renounced her American citizenship.

Gu, who speaks Mandarin and spent time in China throughout her life, maintains a carefully cultivated public persona and refuses to engage any questions about her citizenship or her absentee American father, whose name isn’t public. She carefully redirects any politically tinged questions, adopts woke positions on most issues she does speak about, and reliably parrots CCP talking points about how wonderful and open China is.

Gu speaks Mandarin and has spent time in China her entire life, yet she lives, trains, and goes to school in America. She lives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in San Francisco (Sea Cliff), attended the private prep school University High School (tuition $68,090), and has enjoyed all the benefits of a posh upbringing in the United States. Yet Gu competes for China on the world stage, and has enriched herself immensely from it.

This makes her a traitor, more or less. Or at the very least a defector—and a useful one. American news outlets are covering her like they did in the last one—hyping her up as if she’s an American athlete, not a Chinese one.

I haven't watched the Olympics in years, as I suspect neither have many of you for the same reasons that have led to the rapid decline of pro football, basketball, baseball and every other professional American sports league. All have degenerated into repositories of politicized, anti-American, amoral perversion. Oh well.

Have a great day.

27 My favorite Robert Duvall story was from a Marine who was an Aviation Mechanic. Robert came out with a couple of PAOs because the movie The Great Santini was being filmed and he wanted to sit in a cockpit to get an understanding of his role.

So he sits in the plane and his hands are about to grab onto the ejection handles. The Marine stopped him which caused the PAOs to start screaming at him for what he did.

Robert looked at them and said "Gentlemen, this young man just stopped me from making a stupid mistake. Back off and let him do his job."

50 This made me laugh. From Copilot

The costume design for "Wuthering Heights" has been a subject of much debate and criticism. Critics argue that the costumes do not adhere to historical accuracy, with some pointing out that Cathy's wedding dress is inspired by a 1951 Charles James haute couture gown and that the use of cellophane on her wedding night is a material first invented in 1908. These costumes were designed by Jacqueline Durran, who has previously won Oscars and BAFTAs for her work on other films. Despite the criticism, some have described the costumes as "wild and wonderful" by Vogue. The film's director, Emerald Fennell, has stated that the costumes were not created with historical accuracy in mind, but rather to convey the mood and style of the characters within the film's narrative

69 Robert Duvall was the original villain, Harry Roat Jr., in the Broadway production of Wait Until Dark[/i w/ Lee Remick as the blind heroine Susy. That was about the time he appeared as a cab driver in a tiny role in Point Blank w/ Lee Marvin. He'd done some TV before that, a Twilight Zone and a Fugitive. Then came The Godfather, Joe Kidd w/ Eastwood, Apocalypse Now ("I love the smell of napalm in the morning" and "Charlie don't surf"), The Great Santini, Lonesome Dove and Open Range, and he even played Robert E. Lee.

He was apparently a conservative Republican all his life.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan tracked this scam, and in October 2024, his staff issued a report revealing that “more than 700,000 illegal aliens have had their cases dismissed, terminated, or administratively closed” under Biden, which “allowed those aliens to stay in the country indefinitely without facing immigration consequences.”

110 “Shipments on the circuitous route are increasing. California imported more gasoline in November than ever before, with more than 40% coming from the Bahamas,” Bloomberg reports. “The … phenomenon isn’t likely to disappear soon, thanks to a combination of disappearing oil refineries, a lack of interstate pipelines and a loophole in a 106-year-old maritime law.”

111 I had never heard of Costner's film Open Range before I ran across it on a Sunday movie on a local channel some years ago. At first I thought it was a Lonesome Dove prequel until I heard Costner's Charlie call him "Boss."

A gorgeous film it is, exciting and well-cast, with a superb performance by Duvall as well as the others.

211 "Just deserts" (spelled with one 's', pronounced like "desserts") is an idiom meaning to receive the punishment or reward that one rightly deserves, typically referring to a deserved negative outcome for bad actions. It stems from the archaic definition of "desert" as "what is deserved," rooted in principles of fairness.

215 Wake Up, Hollywood – Audiences Want Romantic Movies

--

Ptooey! lol

I don't care for romance movies, I just want good movies. Where have they gone!? (rhetorical question)

For example, I watched a really great movie this weekend from only 2023 called 'The Promised Land.' Starring the extremely talented Mads Mikkelson set in the 1700s on Denmark's history and the cultivating and beginning of the country. Loosely based on a real man. No woke garbage. No silly out-of-place glamour. Just raw, rugged, good, engaging story telling. Hollywood doesn't do that anymore.

Trump will then act by EO if he has to, and then dare those who oppose to go on record defending the indefensible.

229 "I just want good movies. Where have they gone!?"

Name a movie that you loved that didn't have a great script. 

Great scripts are original in some way, which is exactly what Hollywood can't make anymore, by its choice.

The future is smaller budget flicks with real actors, and AI used to create the mise en scene.

I just saw Send Help and loved it. Good fun, not art. It works because the two leads were so good. CGI was used to create wild boars, etc. Things hard to do in meatspace, or too expensive.

237 How can I convince my mom that trans people are not more likely to shoot up schools?

My mom made me listen to Matt Walsh and he kept saying that trans people are inherently more dangerous and are more likely to shoot up a school.

I tried showing her statistics, and she said "there have been 4 school shootings done by transgenders in the last year alone", then went on a rant about how "Tyler Robinson's boyfriend shot Charlie Kirk because of Israel" (I don't even fucking know anymore

0.3 to 0.6% of the population is trans, and .01% of mass shooters since 2013 are trans, so trans people are actually *under* represented among mass shooters.

Plus trans people are more oppressed and bullied by society than cis people, yet snap less often in violent ways.

There’s also misconstrued stats about lesbians having more domestic violence, and thus, that lesbian relationships are inherently troubled and doomed to failure

If she is listening to Matt Walsh, then she is a lost cause. Get out for your own safety, any way you can.

(OP is trans, and step mom are bi and polyamorus, they live with my dad, who doesn't know because she's afraid to tell him.

The panopticon is a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control, originated by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single prison officer, without the inmates knowing whether or not they are being watched.

***
Without looking it up, I suspect that is another version of the first Richard Stark novel about amoral and unstoppable thief Parker. Lee Marvin played the role in '67's Point Blank, and Mel Gibson in the recent Payback (both renamed from "Parker").

One of the early Parkers is also called The Outfit, as Parker handles the Mob coming after him for stealing their funds in the first book. So this Duvall film could be based on that.

Of course. But they are hanging on by a thread with their efforts to keep our elections unsecured.

When was the last time anyone can point to an issue that has 84% percent support across all voters including Democrats?

Just a note on this tactic:

It's valid statistically. Averaging multiple polling results should result in a smaller margin of error in the statistics.

However, that assumes each poll is based on good statistics. If the samples aren't random, if there's weighting, if there's just straight up bad results, if there's statistical bias in which polls to use, then the assumption falls apart.

I can't recall if his brother was a criminal or not. It's not a terrific movie but Duvall makes it what it is. He is ruthless. Joe Don Baker is ruthless, too, as his partner.

Need to win the Hearts & Minds part of the game. Women generally are conformists to whatever is the consensus opinion. Doesn't matter how insane or nutty the opinion is. As the Demonic Party keeps losing control of The Narrative, it allows other views to creep in.

That is the lever to pry on. I would prefer that the GOP just shuts the Hell up and stays on the sidelines and that the podcasters and influencers shape a narrative that makes voting for the Demonic Party unattractive.

Since a lot of women view society with a Toddler Ethic, saying mean things is a No Go. Facts & Logic are immaterial. Restoration of Peace and Order should be a priority Narrative.

The only thing feeding the pessimism is polling firms with terrible histories saying D+10 and special elections.

Remember, the VA governor's race was R+25 in 2011, and Obama won the state a year later by a healthy margin.

Midterms are really about turnout differentials, preferring the out of power party. The GOP did great during Obama's term in midterms but crashed out in the presidential election in the middle. How fed grant cutting and serious looks at voting apparati will affect things, I don't know, but I still suspect some kind of minor D House majority mixed with the GOP retaining 53 seats in the Senate.

421 Late spring or early summer tends to be when the House is baked into shape. By then, primaries over, most retirements done, and candidates get selected. And you start getting district polling.

Tell me the district demos and past voting behavior, some macro economic figures like economic growth and wages, the candidates themselves, and district fundraising, and you can get to about 80-90 percent accuracy in picking winners in races.

So best to focus on macro issues like economy, etc. right now rather than polling especially the vague which side would you rather run Congress types.

Democrats would have to retain GA (doubtful, to be honest) while picking up NC (the registration advantage tells me that Cooper, despite being a former governor, is actually the underdog), ME (Collins ain't goin' nowhere), and TX (HA!) without losing something out of left field like MI (if that Muslim wins the primary, it'll be interesting, at least).

And Senate elections drive turnout to presidential levels (it's why the GOP picked up 2 Senate seats in 2018 despite the D+9 generic ballot in the House).

High turnout in GA means the rurals turn out at very high levels, and the rurals in GA are like 70% white. All while Atlanta is actually getting smaller every year.

At one time, we had many. Then, mental illness... specifically the mental institutions, the asylums and the various treatments were demonized by liberals as "cruel." So the asylums were shuttered and the insane let out.

Today, it's rare to have someone "committed" to a mental institution. Certainly not voluntarily. And going through the motions to have someone committed is costly and time consuming.

So... the clinically insane are left to their own devices and permitted to roam freely among the sane. Doing what insane people do, without consequences. By design.

The idea that betting is a lens to the future is based on the idea of the Wisdom of Crowds, which has a certain validity.

But, bettors as a group have their own quirks. Sure there are bettors that play the odds in a very logical way and are most likely the most successful.

However, the vast amount of bettors are waiting for "magic" to bless them with money(!).

You can look at the lottery players like this.

442 President Trump is literally “draining the swamp.” The commander in chief ordered the feds to intervene and coordinate cleanup efforts in the Potomac River Monday after a six-foot sewer pipe burst open during a cold snap last month. The pipe — which belongs to DC Water and was located in Cabin John, Md., just northwest of Washington — collapsed on Jan. 19, unleashing approximately 243 million gallons of raw sewage that had overflowed from the collapse site as of Feb. 6, per the utility.

It's also based on the market being big enough to self-correct for biases of individuals or like-minded groups. The betting markets are notoriously tiny and can't filter out those biases the way something like the stock market theoretically can.

Re: The Potomac Interceptor (PI) break. Trump could be kicking some butts in directions other than the current FEMA for cleanup.

The PI is "a major sewer system operating primarily in Virginia and Maryland, conveying wastewater to the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Washington, D.C.. It carries sewage from areas near Dulles Airport in VA, traverses MD, and discharges into the D.C.

Virginia: The PI system serves areas in Virginia, with infrastructure located in Fairfax County, including the Sugarland Run and Difficult Run extensions.
Maryland: The interceptor runs through Maryland, where recent, significant repairs and collapses have occurred near the Clara Barton Parkway and Montgomery County.
District of Columbia: The system terminates at the Blue Plains plant in D.C..

The system specifically conveys waste from Virginia and Maryland to the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant for processing."

Maryland Department of the Environment, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Energy & Environment - Wash., DC, and other state agencies have responsibility.

Where'd the infrastructure $ go?

488 Continued -

Reportedly: Between 2020 and 2025, Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. received significant federal water infrastructure funding, largely driven by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), totaling hundreds of millions for drinking water, wastewater, and storm water projects. Key investments include over $124M for Maryland (2024), $94M for Virginia (2024), and targeted grants for DC's water systems.

Are there more current & consistent waterway reports for the entire Potomac Intercept area on down and the Chesapeake Bay than from years 2022, 2024?

Were there state and D.C. reports to the US EPA and, if so, where are the EPA updates? (I could be missing them but...).

I'd start looking at expenditures & environmental reports beginning with Fairfax County and work all the way down the line to the Bay. (Where there are always fish consumption advisories posted.)

491 It sounds nice, but I was living in CO when Jefferson and Douglas Counties threw out their Communist school boards and brought in conservatives.

It achieved absolutely nothing.

The teachers *immediately* went into open revolt, walked out and went on strike, lining thoroughfares with picket lines and screaming at motorists about fascism.

NEA/CEA went on a full court media press, smearing the boards as unreconstructed slavedriving racist Klansmen, and hurled cash into an off-year recall election with their advantage of concentrated interest and got them OUT.

It's not possible for a board to do very much, sadly - the people they are putatively "in charge of" are 100% spittle-flecked, barking mad ideological Marxists who are 110% dedicated to the destruction of the American enemy, and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

They take no blame for 'missing' funds and lack of action, and then they'll rouse some constituents/non-profits to act in the name of Environmental Injustice.

Even locally, infrastructure & other $ is sucked up by lawyers and contractors and meetings, and then more of the same before a work contract is even bid. (Keeping the well-heeled busy and affluent.)

Top Story

  • After all the fuss, OpenClaw, fomerly Moltbot, formerly Clawdbot until Anthropic made rumbling noises, isn't all that. (Tech Crunch)

    What it does achieve is making it the easy things easy and the bad things also easy. Some people who really should know better jumped into the cheerleading:
    "What's currently going on at [Moltbook] is genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently," Andrej Karpathy, a founding member of OpenAI and previous AI director at Tesla, wrote on X at the time.
    I have no face and I must palm.
    Before long, it became clear we did not have an AI agent uprising on our hands. These expressions of AI angst were likely written by humans, or at least prompted with human guidance, researchers have discovered.

    "Every credential that was in [Moltbook's] Supabase was unsecured for some time," Ian Ahl, CTO at Permiso Security, explained to TechCrunch. "For a little bit of time, you could grab any token you wanted and pretend to be another agent on there, because it was all public and available."
    There were in fact a hundred times as many accounts on Moltbook as there were Moltbots.

    Moltbook was a hopelessly insecure social network for Moltbots, which is... Also hopelessly insecure.
    Ahl's security tests of OpenClaw and Moltbook help illustrate Sorokin's point. Ahl created an AI agent of his own named Rufio and quickly discovered it was vulnerable to prompt injection attacks. This occurs when bad actors get an AI agent to respond to something - perhaps a post on Moltbook, or a line in an email - that tricks it into doing something it shouldn't do, like giving out account credentials or credit card information.
    Don't give AI your credit card number.

    Do not.

wow, 700 watts in, what, one square inch, more-or-less?

how many seconds would it take to reach red heat without a serious cooling system?

CPUs still run on 5 volts? or is it 3.3 these days? ... lemme see, 700 watts, that would be ... 140 amps @ 5 volts?

how do they get 2 AWG conductors in there?

15 I finally looked up the source of the idiom "talking his book," since that's what all the Gen AI insiders are obviously doing, but I couldn't remember if it came from bookies or stockbrokers. According to Brave Search's AI summary (after doing a follow-up question for clarification), it comes specifically from a trader's "position book," from back when that was how current investments were recorded.

It's perfectly natural. As Upton Sinclair said, it's nigh impossible to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. And, it's not just any old cognitive bias; in the preface to Dr. Cialdini's seminal work "Influence," he noted that he would not be discussing the power of incentive, since that's actually a rational response and his topic was irrationality (typically, useful cognitive shortcuts misapplied or exploited).

Sadly, reading quotes from AI promoters, they sound a bit like LLMs themselves, a bit uncannily like real people but not quite. Like NPCs delivering the precise statement for driving desired behavior, with no concern for truth value; that is for humans to worry about, not executives.

I have a very rudimentary understanding of electrical magic so I’m still grinding through this. If typical US residential service is 120 volts but transmission lines are much higher, does it generally follow that the amperage, or capacity of a cross country line must scale logarithmically to move the power these data centers will use?

Under base workloads it will draw 14 amps.

49 Noah Wyle, formerly on ER, was the celebrity monarch for Harry Connick's Orpheus parade last night. For decades there was an old-line krewe, Proteus, that held the Monday night for its parade. Then we got a city council creature who insisted that parading organizations had to integrate, or they wouldn't get a permit. So Proteus said, "Okay, no more parades. See ya."

Harry Connick stepped up in about '94 with his Orpheus parade. Miss Linda and I were there to see the first one, with Dan Aykroyd doing his Blues Brothers act atop the first float, and more celebrities atop others.

64 So in the continuing saga of upgrading the home television system...ATSC 3.0, aka NextGen TV.

I knew that the tv I chose did not have a 3.0 tuner, as Samsung only puts them in their highest end tier of TV's. With my thought process being to go with an external tuner box to upgrade to the 3.0 format. And with the charleston area OTA broadcasts almost all offering the 3.0 format as well, even MeTV, it seems to make sense.

But recent events with the FCC, and an emerging war over DRM kinda makes me want to take a 'Wait and see' position toward the buying on an external box. Lots of stuff shaking out in the courts in the last month or so make me wonder if any of us know which direction the 3.0 format is gonna go.

93 In the past week, there was a link to an article about how 'helpful' forum posters would provide a malicious line of command code and ask you to run it in PowerShell or a command line. From there, it'd do something like pull another script payload, and then execute that thanks to how the copy/pasted code was entered (in the one example, it runs another command line, based on the malicious response of another command).

With AI agents scraping the web for their content to post, particularly from supposedly-helpful sites, I foresee a LOT of prompt injection attacks waiting for these vulnerable, shoddily-coded web crawlers. Could get REALLY nasty, especially since there's not a lot of safeguards - see examples of said AI agents "apologizing" after deleting everything even when it was told not to touch anything.

Quote I

These crimes were not isolated incidents constituting moments of poor judgment; they were textbook cases of grooming, involving a defendant who repeatedly leveraged tactics of isolation, manipulation, and control for the sake of her own selfish purposes. The egregious nature of the conduct was further compounded by the plain fact that the emotional and psychological harm she inflicted came at the expense of two of the very same young minds she had been entrusted to develop and nurture. Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago


Quote II

"Come on, Oskar, just fuck off.” Canada’s Marc Kennedy, Olympic Curler


Quote III
I told [lawmakers] straight up: South Texas will never be red again,” Mario Guerrero, the CEO of the South Texas Builders Association

Mr. Guerrero, personally I don't care. I want every ILLEGAL ALIEN out of this country.

I love women. I love my wife. I love my 3 daughters. I love my granddaughter. But, what the fuck is wrong with many of that gender?

First of all lady, who made you God so you could smite off road enthusiasts?

Well this Goddess learned an eye for an eye or something happened to somebody.



So we keep hearing about compromise. How can one have a rationale discussion about ILLEGAL ALIENS when you are dealing with this insufferable c*^t?

The exchange stripped away any illusion about what drives these ICE agitators. After Jensen screamed "race traitor" at a Hispanic agent, he calmly explained they were hunting a child molester. She called him a liar. The other agent stepped in with a reality check: "If you actually cared, you would care about the child who got raped and also by the person who got murdered by the person we are looking for.”

That's when Jensen said the quiet part out loud. She admitted she didn't care. Then she pivoted to the standard talking point about how ICE should only go after "illegal, violent immigrants" before insisting "that's not what you are doing.” Except it was exactly what they were doing. They were literally chasing a suspect wanted for raping a child and murder.

“If you actually cared, you probably would care about the child who got raped and the person who got murdered by the person we’re looking for, but you see, you don’t care,” an ICE agent told Jensen.

“No, I don’t care,” Jensen admitted.

Hate to see Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed El Goatbanger get a hold of one of your loved ones. Or even you Ms. POS.


Swatting is an illegal act. It appears to be one of their favorite attacks on anyone who disagrees with them. But now it's gone too damn far. We have public officials swatting parents and children over legally protected beliefs and constitutionally protected freedoms.

Perhaps you should let her direct employer know that you don't tolerate this vile, despicable piece of shit excrement. She would fit in well at Planned Parenthood Murderhood.

It is time to wipe away the protected immunity these "civil servants" are entitled to. If you or I called Social Services or the Police we would be facing criminal charges as well as civil litigation.


Just a local cop trying to do his job. So I wonder who she calls when she is a crime victim?


And finally. So many things to say about the following clip and so little time. I bet this little bitch has never heard the word, "No". On the other hand she has padded her resume to enter a Poison Ivy League school.

The ONT Is Always Looking Out For You!TM

Eyeballing a weary porta-potty, the forlorn sentinel of county fairs and highway hells, Jeremy Barnett dreamed it into a deluxe ice fishing palace on Lake DuBay. Using foam strips, he armored the flanks, etched portals for pole parades, and installed a heater fiercer than a scorned snowplow driver.

Lying before thee, behold: a pint-sized privy perched on polar plains, burbling warmth for a duo of dreamers and their dangling delights, while gales of frozen hell giggle outside like tipsy elves.

Dating a 25-year-old is talking to yourself.
With one of 35 it is understanding their traumas.
With a 45-year-old it is tolerant of him talking on the phone all the time scolding his children.
And with a 50-year-old it means hearing the nonsense of 23-year-olds again.

86 Presidents Day Fun Fact: John Tyler is the only President who was not given a state funeral at his death. His joining the Confederacy seemed to ruffle some people's feathers.

Second fun fact: Speaking of feathers, Andrew Jackson's pet parrot had to be removed from the room at his wake because its foul language upset some guests.

Also Tyler wasn't elected, and there wasn't a Constitutional line of succession at the time he took over. Arguably (it was argued) he took power in a palace coup.

In kindergarten I explained this to my mother regarding Groundhog Day:

It is the day that Grandpas pop up out of the ground in the morning and say hello to their shadows.

She said I was not in the least alarmed by this because I called my grandfathers other names (Granddaddy, who was in the ground from the time I was an infant; and Papa).

141 The asphalt scrapped off of roads being repaved is repurposed as a road covering called millings.

It does not hold up as well in rain as gravel, and easily self-assembles into a corrugated surface.

The reason upscale communities like it is because the dust from millings is less than the dust from gravel. So those with expensive cars want a little less dust from the road.

If it contained enough of any radioactive species that the heat of radioactive decay was measurable, let alone significant, it would be too "hot" radiologically, to be used for anything short of a dirty bomb.

I have handled really "hot" hunks of pitchblende, hot enough to peg out a scintillometer on the high range, and thermally it was no warmer than ambient.

201 One really unique quality about Robert Duvall is that I don’t think I ever saw him appear in a bad movie, and yet he was in a huge number of great ones. I think he had the rare ability to read a script and know when the movie was gonna be great, and when he found one he’d work hard to get any part possible in it.
For example, you probably don’t remember that he was in Bullitt with Steve McQueen, but if you watch early in the film, McQueen takes a cab and asks the cabbie about a payphone call. Oh look it’s Robert Duvall! He’d take bit parts just to get into great movies.

202 Everyone of course follow their own tastes and druthers, but if you are interested in what I find the best winter Olympic sports (cross country, biathlon, speed skating, ski jumping, mainly), take out the crow bar, pry open your wallet for $11 for a month of Peacock (easy to cancel), and enjoy.

The crap that ruined Olympic coverage going back decades (focus on US athletes when they're not contenders, or interesting, "human interest" stories) - have not seen once second thereof. And the athletes in the above sports, plus hockey, seem rah-rah Americans, which is unsurprising.

The biathlon is fantastic, one of the two crews covering that and x-c is excellent and brings you into the action with real insights. Ski jumping and speed skating, the same.

And one interesting note. At the x-c venue (largest at this Olympics, and always packed), they cheer everyone, since the event is so obviously intense (most participants collapse just past the finish line, not common in sports). They even cheered the *Israeli* skier, who was last, the other day, as he came in.

Also very good. Great actor. They just don't make them like that anymore. I put Duvall and Gene Hackman in that category.

What annoyed me a little was the butchery of that car. There aren't that many of them around and they are fascinating items. Maybe 10 years ago a convertible suddenly appeared next to me in traffic. Amazing creation..one of those cars where you are astounded that there was once a time where you could go to an actual mainstream dealership and purchase something like that.

I'm starting to think the only answer to this insanity is to give these people what they want. Let them live with the consequences of their choices just like we're going to have to do soon here in California. Just like in NYC where Mandami wants to release (?) the guy that attacked the cop with a knife....fine - send the mental health professionals to deal with the kooks with knives and guns. See how that works out for ya...

You're talking resto mod. I can understand the theory of all the old charm but with modern goodies, but I don't like when they make the car unrecognizable, with interiors that look like they came out of a frigging bently, or body mods that start to leave the original look behind. I can see updating suspension, dropping in a modern power plant with mondo horsepower and getting 20mpg, but no farther. I also like them to just be rebuilt all original, but sometimes that just isn't easy with original parts bringing a king's ransom sometimes if you can even get them. My old car is original. 10-12 mpg, no AC, very minor mods like disk brakes in the front, slightly upgraded suspension that works with radial tires instead of the old polyglass, original radio. Thats it, its still mostly original.

I have only ever been in a stretch limo one time in my life, and that was when I was 15 and rode in one with my other girl cousins for my maternal grandfather's funeral. I mean, we had "fun", because we were a bunch of giggly girls and one of the drivers was a really cute guy, but still.

DoJ documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler - the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer.

Ruemmler resigned from Goldman when the Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with him.

Ruemmler turned to Epstein for advice on legal and reputational matters on how to respond to the 2014 Washington Post report accusing her of helping to suppress evidence of prostitution involving a rich kid White House aide whose daddy was a huge Obama donor.

Replies highlight the shooter's support for far-right figures like Rep. Thomas Massie and affiliation with the groyper movement, underscoring intersections of transgender identity, extremism, and libertarian politics in this case.

It appears that Epstein coached Ruemmler through the whole Colombian dust up.

yeah my car is a 69 roadrunner with a manual trans. They came the bigger 11" police brakes from the factory, so it wasn't too bad, but still, drums suck. The entire brake system was new, but still, if you were coming down a long down hill in traffic, like a large bridge, and have to keep hitting the brakes you can feel it fading. I put disk brakes in the front and its night and day. I would thinking about the regular B bodies with V8s and 10 inch brakes and think wtf were they thinking.

We came across people riding horses, we slowed and throttled down, the jackasses all turned their horses ass-end to us so if the horses kicked we'd be murdered.

341 When I was down & out, unemployed and desperately job-seeking in/around Eugene OR. Stopped at a dive motel/restaurant and asked for a job app. Slow afternoon so I sat at a booth to fill it out. There were a couple of girls in another booth, couple of tables away. (Didn't interact with them, just noted their presence.)

Finished and handed my app to the lady at the counter, thanked her and started to walk away... surprise!

One of the booth girls was right there, in front of me, blocking my path. I stopped. Looked her in the eye. Sidestepped. Said not a word, and then continued walking out to my car. (praying the whole time that I wasn't going to get jumped & beaten up-- or worse-- for some imaginary "infraction"!)

There's supposed to be a comic book that serves as a sequel.
It picks up in the truck where it leaves off in the movie with the monster on the back.

I've never read it, but that's probably the closest we'll ever get to a sequel.

77 Since it's got a cute monkey:

Meet Punch — a macaque from a Japanese zoo with a difficult story

His mother abandoned him, and the caretakers raised him by hand. Later, he was moved into an enclosure with other monkeys, but he struggled to integrate into the group.

To give him some comfort, staff gave Punch a toy to replace his mother — and now he carries it everywhere.

After a viral video, visitors began coming specifically to see him, but he still plays alone, holding his plush “mom” close to his chest.

I adopted my current cats as a pair back when they were kittens. It's definitely the way to go! They're well into adulthood now, but I love watching them play stalk each other, chase each other, wrestle, groom each other, and settle down to nap together. A close sibling can provide companionship to a cat in a way that a human just can't.

Also there's nothing quite like lying in bed with a pair of cats snuggled up to you, one on each side.

Posted by: rickb223

I brought in a live koi in a bucket that big for dissection day in Biology class in 9th grade. Mrs. Tuck did not want to kill it and brought it home to put in her pond. Another girl classmate brought in two nice brown trout (dead) from her home stream and pond. Teacher dissected them, but took the meat home for dinner.

During WWII he wrote for Stars and Stripes while in the Army and covered a few important battles as well as being one of the first to report on the concentration camps (which turned him from being a pacifist into a believer in just wars).

He got a Bronze Star and an Air Medal for his service.

Unless one of the women knew he was two-timing, they'd have no reason to forgive each other, as there would be nothing to forgive. "I'm sorry my husband did things I never knew about?"

And if he's dead, carrying a grudge won't help. Not like he could start three-timing them at that point.

BREAKING: Anderson Cooper Set to Exit CBS News' '60 Minutes' -- Variety

This is like losing Robert Duvall all over again.

SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?

Thanks to beckster.

Shock: Democrats don't want to be seen around Biden, the man who garnered the most votes in American history, restored America's prestige, and presided over the "Biden Miracle Economy."

Former President Joe Biden will be feted by South Carolina Democrats later this month, to mark the sixth anniversary of his Palmetto State primary landslide, a comeback victory that rocketed Biden to the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and later the White House.

But with many Democrats still smarting from their party's major 2024 election setbacks, fueled in part by a very unpopular Biden presidency and the then-president's dropping his re-election bid amid serious questions about his physical and mental abilities following a disastrous debate with now-President Donald Trump, the South Carolina celebration appears to be an outlier.

As they seek office in gubernatorial and congressional races in this year's elections, nine candidates who served in the Biden administration appear to be keeping their distance from the former president, according to a new report from Axios.


Biden ended his presidency with approval and favorable ratings well underwater, and the 13 months since he left office have not apparently healed the damage done to his standing among those in his own party.

"Biden remains a liability," a veteran Democratic strategist who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, told Fox News Digital. "Being associated with the Biden administration is doing some candidates no favors as they run this year."

That's a switch from the 2018 elections, the previous midterm cycle when Trump was in office and the Democrats were out of power, when former President Barack Obama as well as then-former Vice President Biden were in demand on the campaign trail.
Joe Biden 2020 South Carolina primary


Among those not highlighting Biden this cycle is Deb Haaland, a former House member from New Mexico who served as Department of the Interior secretary in the Biden administration and is now running for governor in the blue-leaning state. The former president isn't mentioned on Haaland's campaign website.

Another example is Xavier Becerra, who served as secretary of Health and Human Services under Biden and is now running for California governor. The former president isn't mentioned in Becerra's campaign launch video.

Remember how Democrats conned this senile old fuck to abandon the race? They specifically promised him he would be hailed as a hero and praised from now until the end of all days.

Liars.

Even more shocking: Biden granted stealth "quiet amnesty," without congressional authorization, to nearly a million illegal aliens.

Officially, there are almost 3.8 million pending cases in the immigration court backlog, but more than eight years ago, at the outset of the first Trump administration, I suggested the true number of then-pending cases (a more modest 895,000) was higher than those official statistics displayed, thanks to a legal trick called "administrative closure".

As the BIA has described the practice: "Administrative closure ... is used to temporarily remove a case from an Immigration Judge's active calendar or from the Board's docket."

It continued:

[Administrative closure] is a docket management tool that is used to temporarily pause removal proceedings. Administrative closure is not a form of relief from removal and does not provide an alien with any immigration status. After a case has been administratively closed, either party may move to recalendar it before the Immigration Court ... or to reinstate the appeal before the Board. [Emphasis added.]

Put another way, administrative closure allows immigration judges and the BIA to shelve cases that it does not want to, or cannot, deal with, at least at the time of closure.

Another shock: Lisa Murkowski says she won't support the GOP-favored SAVE Act because she doesn't want to "federalize federal elections." (What?)

Smoking hot Congressbade Ana Paulina Luna points out she did want to federalize federal elections just a couple of years ago when Democrats wanted to "restore voter rights" by re-imposing onerous federal "pre-clearance" of laws whenever southern states, and only southern states, wished to change a voting law.

In other words, southern states, and only southern states, would again have to ask "mother may I?" from Congress to change the most trivial of state election laws.

"I want us to continue to reduce those barriers to Americans ability to vote," she said in a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, before the procedural vote, "whether it is geographic, whether it's logistical -- we certainly know about that in Alaska -- whether it's partisan, or some other form."

Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of democracy and American identity, Murkowski said.

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would reinstate parts of the Civil Rights Era-law that the U.S. Supreme Court overturned in 2013. The centerpiece of the bill would restore the "preclearance" requirement. Until the Supreme Court struck it down, it required states with a history of discrimination to get the Justice Department to sign off before they change their voting rules.

If you missed it: Rubio got a standing O from European Sitzpinklers after telling them to take the dicks out of their mouths and protect their civilization.


Indeed. The word vaquero, meaning cowboy (vaca meaning "cow") is a word first used in Spain and Portugal.

The vaquero (Spanish: [baˈkeɾo]; Portuguese: vaqueiro, European Portuguese: [vɐˈkɐjɾu]) is a horse-mounted livestock herder of a tradition that has its roots in the Iberian Peninsula and extensively developed in what is today Mexico (then New Spain) from a method brought to the Americas from Spain. The vaquero became the foundation for the North American cowboy, in Northern Mexico, Southwestern United States, Florida and Western Canada.

The cowboys of the Great Basin still use the term "buckaroo", which may be a corruption of vaquero, to describe themselves and their tradition.

Vaquero is literally pronouced backero. How is this a "may be" situation?

Just wondering. Does The Horde really believe that Joe Biden bowed out of the race by making an obscure social media post? Even at the time, it made no sense to me. More likely, some Kamala ally made the post, and Biden could then either choose to tell the world he wasn't in control of his own media account, or allow his handlers to have him bow out.

Normally, ANY candidate would call a PRESS CONFERENCE and MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT to the whole country, right?

— Matt Walsh


Not exactly true. But the real truth is even worse for the Noble-Savage-worshipping white-guilt-loving woke Left:

When the first Asians crossed over the frozen Bering Strait tens of thousands of years ago and suddenly became Native Americans, there were horses in North America.

BUT...

The new natives never learned how to tame them or ride them.

Instead, they...hunted them.

...

... to extinction.

Ooops.

Took another 10,000 years before the Spanish conquistadors brought some horses with them to the new continent. Some escaped, became wild mustangs, and the rest is history.

88 I would have Peyronie's and whatever tertiary syphilis Bill has if I had to be married to Hillary. Is she nicer when she's drunk? Maybe that's the secret to dealing with her, gallons of Chardonnay. Get her drunk and let her fall down and whack her head.

I don't like Bill, but I sympathize with him being stuck with her for decades. Which I know is no excuse for Monica in the Oval Office, etc or his rapey behavior of others and adultery. However, she's torture enough and should be in Gitmo. Both as an evil person of corruption and to use to torture others when waterboarding fails.

Also! I have never seen another nose like that of Occasional Sandy Eruption of Blather Cortez, their new standard.

What is the deal with her nose? Unless in a garage where they inject tire silicone, I simply don't believe it is a normal rhinoplasty...and she needs one!

Her nose looks cartoonish. Like one Bluto from Popeye made from a frog, or one of those squished frogs in formaldehyde in a jar. Definitely a frog somehow, smushed on hot asphalt from a tire, then glued onto her face.

89 The story behind the unusual appellative, Cabeza de Vaca (Cow’s Head), which decorates the coat of arms of the illustrious Cabeza de Vaca family is quite interesting. The name was earned by a simple local shepherd who offered his service to King Alfonso VIII during an important battle that was the turning point in the Reconquista in the 13th century.

The Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa took place on July 16, 1212. The Catholic victory removed the danger of a Muslim invasion of the Catholic kingdoms and contributed to the ruin of the Almohad Empire.

102 Make the Crusades Great Again:

A letter describing the success of Las Navas de Tolosa to Pope Innocent III relates:

“The Saracen horsemen had numbered 185,000, as we afterward learned in a true account from certain servants of the Sultan whom we took prisoner. The foot soldiers were innumerable. On their side 100,000 armed men fell in battle, perhaps more, according to the estimates of the Saracens we later captured. Of the army of the Lord only some 20 or 30 Christians fell in our whole host – a fact not to be mentioned without the most fervent thanksgiving, and one scarcely to be believed, unless it be thought a miracle. What cause for joy and thanksgiving!

"Yet there is one cause for regret here: That so few in such a vast army went to Christ as martyrs.”

In part, "Tom Gross, an expert on international affairs, told Fox News digital that "AOC has flown all the way to Munich — infamous as the city in which Hitler staged his Nazi Beer Hall Putsch that marked the beginning of the road to the Holocaust — in order to smear the Jewish people further with a phony genocide allegation."

Gross added, "Such preposterous allegations of ‘genocide’ form the bedrock of modern anti-Semitic incitement against Jews in the U.S. and globally. This shocking ignorance and insensitivity by Ocasio-Cortez should rule her out of any potential presidential bid or other high office."

Benito has mashed potatoes and marbles on his mouth, so you catch like every 6th word instead of every 4th word. If you ask them to slow it down, it becomes more easily understood.

The former president isn't mentioned on Haaland's campaign website.

Left out this quote is she has a BA in English, was a single mom, has a couple of DUIs, couched surfed for housing, has a degree in Indian law, failed the bar exam, was a counselor, a Indian casino manager, a Democrat party hack starting in 2012, and was appointed as Sec. of the Interior as a DEI hire by Biden. I affectionately think of her as Chief Dreamcatcher. Now she is running for NM governor. If she wins the state will instantly sink to being ranked lower than Albania.

232 I am hoping AOC misreads the presidential winds and runs for the Democrat nomination in 2028. That is about 99.9% guaranteed to end up in equal parts hilarity, humiliation, and failure. Hopefully that experience will be sufficient to cause her to run and get elected to the Senate where she can spend the next 36 years becoming a Democrat version of Ms. Lindsey Graham.

239 My favorite part of HGWB's funeralizing was seeing Hillary realize she won't have a state funeral.Her face was not grieving the dead but her own death. You could see her want to stomp her cloven feet.

My other favorite part was at the end, when the coffin was leaving, and Jeb throwing President Trump a laser glare with Laura almost crying from a note. GWB looking forward like he knew. Oh, something was in those notes. I think it was this, from Trump:

"We know your Daddy was in Dallas on 11/22/63 and what he did."

Revealed: The Erotic Poetry of... Eric Swalwell?

Is it fart-porn? I understand he's a flatulence exhibitionist. Butt-trumpets right on national TV.


California gubernatorial hopeful Eric Swalwell once penned a graphic, sex-charged college poem boasting of lovers "kissing till veins imploded and exploded" -- with "blood rolled down our chins," according to a report.

gay-shout.jpg


The Democrat, now running for governor, wrote the eyebrow-raising piece when he was a 19-year-old student enrolled at Campbell University, where he contributed to the literary magazine "The Lyricist" and also penned a column for the student newspaper, according to Daily Mail.

The poem, titled "Hungover From Burgundy," describes two partners meeting atop a hotel before having "formless and magnificent" sex in a "flurry of limbs and nails," with the narrator appearing to relish being bitten.

gay-hawaii-gay-cleveland.jpg

"While I screamed / She bent her lips to mine," the passage reads...

That's "The Royal She." Xe means ximself.

... adding the pair kept kissing "till veins imploded and exploded ... For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting."

"And there beauty was, formless and magnificent -- a flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and she ran," Swalwell wrote in the poem.

"Atop my hotel she stopped, and I lept for cloth and tan, my anxious arm she bit -- my scar is beautiful."

Swalwell continued: "While I screamed, she bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, till blood rolled down our chins, for bounded mouths cannot speak of parting."

"In the morning, I awoke beside beauty's shadow -- her form sloppy and her legs pale. My scar lost, my lips cracked and dry. And we groaned simultaneously."

It's so gay my dick just asked about garrett's mountain bike.

I'm going to use my psychic powers to read Eric Swalwell's gay mind.

Thanks to Piper.

No, and neither is his wife. But somehow an arm suspiciously matching Swalwell found its way to Grindr.

That aside, and just in case any of our resident trolls are confused, this type of poetry will NOT result with an actual woman in your bed.

The delay is how to write a big, important decision that says nothing of consequence.

I have a theory as to why this Case is taking so long.

It comes down to the question of can Congress delegate a power given to it specifically in the Constitution?

They want to say no... but... in the 1930s Congress delegated Court Rule making authority to the Supremes.

And earlier delegated Money making to outside Banks...

So they are trying to figure out how to take away the Prezzys Tariff power, without neutering themselves... as Roberts will NEVAH rule against the power of the Courts.

Sorry... but there is no way that us Californians control our own elections anymore. The proof was the Newsome recall.

Every voter is sent a mail in ballot automatically. All you have to do to register is go online, put in a name and address, and check a box you are a citizen. They don't even follow Calif's own law about verifying signatures.

Note, Calif will NOT send it's voter data base to the Feds, and are fighting it in court... and you can guess why.

He said that moderate Dems are racist for voting Yes on an emergency border bill. Then he deleted the tweet, then doubled down:

"Instead of 'fiscally conservative but socially liberal,' let's call the New Democrats and Blue Dog Caucus the 'New Southern Democrats.' They certainly seem hell bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s"

In particular, he tweeted that some Native American Congresswoman enabled a racist system. She shot back, “Who is this guy and why is he explicitly singling out a Native American woman of color?”

The Media Whined That the Washington Post Cancelled Its World-Beating Sports Section.
The Media, You Will Not Be Surprised to Learn, Lied

By "sports," they meant what they mean in every case: DEI propaganda and gay communism bullshit.

They do this with every single entertainment men like. They fill men's entertainment with nonstop pro-gay, pro-feminism, pro-DEI propaganda.

So that's what was going on with the Washington Post's "sports" desk before they cancelled it.

Free Beacon's Andrew Stiles:


Angsty Journalists Said the WaPo Sports Section Was Indispensable. The Evidence Suggests Otherwise.

Recent 'sports' coverage highlighted Colin Kaepernick, climate change, racial equity, and the NHL's failure to adequately celebrate queer culture


The Washington Post shuttered its so-called sports section last week amid sweeping layoffs intended to transform the once-revered paper into a product that makes money because people actually want to read it. Doing what comes naturally, the journalism community shrieked in agony while denouncing anyone who suggested that a media outlet losing $100 million per year was not sustainable. Some journalists were particularly aggrieved by the demise of the sports section, which they hailed as uniquely indispensable due to the fact that some talented reporters had worked there several decades ago.

ESPN reporter Jenna Laine wrote that the layoffs were "so troubling" because they signaled that "the appetite for real sports reporting has died" as the industry continued "its slow, inevitable burn." New York Times reporter Ben Mullin wrote a eulogy for "one of the last bastions of great sports writing." More importantly, he explained, the Post was a "champion of diversity" and a "leader in women's sports coverage."

A Washington Free Beacon analysis of the Post's sports-related output in recent weeks did not find sufficient evidence to support these claims of journalistic greatness. Amid numerous offerings of gambling advice, the Post also published eight feature-length articles since Jan. 29 that--while technically sports-related--few normal American sports fans would describe as engaging content that must be published even if it means losing $100 million per year.

1) Hockey isn't gay enough

Days before the layoffs were announced, the paper's Washington Capitals beat reporter examined how the success of Heated Rivalry--the television series about two gay hockey players who have sex with each other--had made at least several people upset that the NHL wasn't doing more to elevate queerness and promote LGBTQIA2S+ inclusion.

2) NFL diversity police

As part of the Post's Super Bowl coverage, the paper expressed concern that the NFL was still "grappling" with its lack of diversity among head coaches. The story included quotes from NFL executives responding to diversity-focused questions from concerned reporters, and another from a black former coach, Tony Dungy, who said, "I try not to look at it in terms of race."

3) The enduring legacy of Colin Kaepernick

Sports reporter Adam Kilgore conveyed his agonizing displeasure with the fact that Colin Kaepernick--the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback best known for kneeling down to protest the national anthem--was not being widely discussed ahead of Super Bowl LX. Because the game was being played in Kaepernick's former home stadium--where he won roughly a third of the games he started--Kilgore argued there was no one "more relevant." The article included affirming quotes from four university professors specializing in social justice.

That's as much as I'll steal. See the article for more "sports" coverage.

Antifa prefers that the indigenous woman get raped by the colonizers or by men wearing dresses. To protest against it is fascism.

You lie about everything. Even the stuff that you're too stupid to understand, somehow you still lie about it.

I could probably get over that. After all, there's some value in knowing that the newspaper will never, ever, tell you the truth about anything. But there's also the fact that the shit you're lying about happened five days ago. Hell, Netflix has already released the race swapped series based on the event by the time you publish.

43 When I had the NHL Network, I would watch occasionally. One of the networks talking heads had a complete meltdown when some of the russian players didn't love the LGTBXJDKL+ crowd enough. Even wanting to throw them out of the country. I was wondering if this guy was married to a tranny. Haven't watched any sports talk show in years, and I can't remember this dudes name.

This letter accompanies my decision to cancel my subscription to the Post. I doubt that you care, but you should. I...have subscribed to the Post all of my adult life. I have the newspaper habit, and I am the kind of person you won’t be able to replace. I am cancelling my subscription because I don’t like paying for something that I don’t receive, namely a newspaper. I get all the opinions I want for free from the internet. Over the years I have grown accustomed to filtering your coverage, but the filter has to be stronger every year. I am tired of trying to separate the spin from the facts. The outright propaganda you published this year has convinced me that there is no longer any value in your product.
I’m sure that you will warm yourselves with the idea that since you get criticism from both sides, you are being fair. However, I also have no doubt that in your hearts you know you are not fulfilling the most basic journalistic obligation of presenting the facts as they are, not as you think they should be.

It is never on in the US aside from baseball strikes, there is some rule about that for some crazy reason.

RFKJr. Reveals Harrowing Evidence About the Extent of California Fraud

RFKJr. says that DHHS has discovered a hotel in which every single room is supposedly a home nursing business. Obviously, you cannot conduct business out of a hotel room. These are fictitious businesses that just use a hotel room as an "office" as the cheapest possible option.

He says that all these "businesses" do is "collect money" from the US government. And he says they're run by Somalis and that a lot of the money is sent back to the Somalis' favorite terrorist group, Al Shabaab.

Relatedly, the left is running an op against RFKJr., blaming his general skepticism for some vaccines for a recent measles outbreak. Note that he has never told people the measles vaccine is a problem.

While they blame "MAGA" Americans turning down the vaccine for the outbreak, they completely ignore the fact that Biden allowed 11-20 million third worlders into the country, very few of whom have gotten vaccines of any kind.



Daniel Friedman
@DanFriedman81

Two things happened in 2025:

1.) Trump appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy believes toxic substances in vaccines cause illnesses like autism.

2.) The US had its largest measles surge in decades, with 2276 cases of the disease, which can be prevented with vaccines, reported. The majority of infections occurred in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

Media stories covering this have trafficked in the assumption that there is a causal relationship between these two events, noting that outbreaks occur in "red states" and insinuating that measles is spreading among predominantly white, Trump voting Republicans.

However, there is another phenomenon that is connected to disease outbreaks, which these articles rarely mention: During the presidency of Joe Biden, over 8 million migrants entered the US by crossing the southern border, and millions of those people and the children they have had over the past few years are living near the border in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

The CDC does not report the demographics of who is infected with measles, which is why journalists are free to imagine the children of anti-vax MAGA voters getting extremely sick with preventable illnesses. However, if you look at the demographics of the areas where outbreaks are occurring, you will see that they have heavy Latino populations and large numbers of recent migrants.

On this issue, like many others, media has been misleading you.

They didn't so much figure it out as they were taught how to game the system.

The UN / US State Department / WEF is behind it all.

NPR did a series on this way back in the Obama 1st Term. They detailed all of the NGO Groups and Training that went into this. From getting the migrants mobilized to leave their countries to 'integrating' them into the 'systems' of the 'host' countries.

One of these days, I need to look and see if that was archived anywhere.

In Minnesota it was discovered that many of the state (and probably MN Congressional reps) were "on the take." They facilitated the Somali "day cares" and "learing centers" and made sure the federal tax payers were funneling their monies into the scams.

Kennedy is not anti-vaccine he's anti poison, he's anti injecting humans with ill-tested, un-proven crap.

There's Big Pharma money that not only wants to shut Kennedy up but to degrade and defame everything he does and says.

Is it The Rock, is it Armegeddon, is it Bad Boys, is it The Transformers?

Bad Boys also had Tea Leoni in it.

Just in pure filmmaking, 13 Hours is probably his best film, also his most serious film. But it really isn't a "Michael Bay Film" as we know and love.

Then again, it has some good one-liners.

A couple weeks ago, I started putting it in every Saturday prayer thread: please Lord, deliver us from temptation, and lock up every single fraudster in Federal PMITA prison. All of them. I have never even made six figures, my IQ is literally over double the Somali average, and the "X services" scams are auto-laundering due to the money coming from an official business; so if they go all "uh well prosecution resources are scarce, so we're focusing on the 7-figure scams" -- or worse, just the 8-figure ones -- then the temptation to stop being the gullible sucker-chump getting fleeced will be fierce.

They need to get hard time for all of them, 100% or bust.

That doesn't count the stealing and hoarding of vital medical supplies charged to the Feds. Nor the routine addition of 'with COVID' to all hospitalizations to put it on the Federal blank checks. About a year into COVIS in one CA hospital that this was done on about 35 percent of all cases fraudulently.
