The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
This is what happens when you quit coffee for just two weeks: Scientists reveal surprising effects on stress, sleep and memory
Before we enter the Prayer Revival. Just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Shiocton) 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind. Be nice.
3) Running with sharp objects is seriously frowned upon. Don't.
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 3/10 – Update on Susan, who we have been praying for as she battles cancer. She is hospitalized again with an infection in her colon that quickly turned bad. The doctor says the signs are sepsis but they are running tests to make sure. The good news is that the pancreatic cancer was and is responding to the chemo and her cancer numbers are going down. God bless and thank you!
3/23 Update – Susan finally was able to come home. She is doing better than expected. Thanks to everyone for your prayers.
4/18 Update – Susan is doing outstanding. Her weight is better than expected. They have increased her dosage for chemo, and her cancer numbers are the lowest they have been since they started keeping track of them. They are so thankful for the mercy they have received. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. 3/14 – Retired Buckeye Cop asks for prayers for Mrs. Cop’s cousin, “A.B”. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He is a retired police officer who was hit by a car years ago. He attempted to deal with the pain by self-medicating with too much Tylenol, which ended up poisoning his liver. His only alternative is a liver transplant, but he is uncertain if he wants to have surgery.
4/11 Update – A.B. got a second opinion and testing determined his live score was 15. (21+ means transplant time.) That’s bad, but not as critical as initially thought. He went to the Cleveland Clinic for a third opinion, and testing found that his score had dropped to 9 and a liver transplant was not even something to consider. The doctor suspected a reaction to Ozempic and told him to stop taking it for 6 months. 3/21 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son, who is still looking for work. He has a horticulture major, and would ideally like something related to research, but he is certainly willing to labor outdoors.
4/10 Update – FenelonSpoke’s son got a job. She sends her thanks to everyone who prayed on this thread here and elsewhere. 3/28 – Hrothgar asked for prayers for a dear and long time close friend and former neighbor, Daniel, who is scheduled for open heart surgery in mid-April. Prayers for his wife would be appreciated as well, as she will be carrying a heavy load for the next few months.
4/18 Update – Daniel survived his complex open heart surgery. He is sitting up and it seems like it went well, but they are not going to release him as quickly as he would like, so he is not happy. Thanks to the Horde for the prayers and please keep praying for his dear wife, who now has even more to put up with. 3/28 – Jordan61 posted that Mr. Jordan61 is back in the hospital. His sepsis has returned and gotten into where his compression fracture is, and he has vertebral osteomyelitis. The doctor is supposed to come in today and let them know the plan.
4/9 Update – On 4/1 Mr. Jordan61 was released from the hospital with six weeks of IV antibiotics, which Jordan61 is administering every 8 hours. He’s in a lot of pain; they’ve given him oxy, fentanyl, and dilaudid, and nothing seems to touch it. From what they were told, the pain won’t subside until the infection is cleared up. For the time being, he is bed-bound and they are limiting his movement as much as possible to keep the pain to a minimum. Jordan61 will send updates with progress.
4/25 Update – Mr. Jordan61 is making slow but steady progress. He can get up and walk for short periods of time, and can sit in the living room for an hour or so per day. He is halfway through the IV antibiotics, with 3 weeks to go. A physical therapist will be coming to help him build strength and learn how to move without aggravating his back injury. Thank you all for the prayers! 4/3 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted an update. Her chemo seems to be holding things steady for now. Unfortunately, as she is receiving a steroid, she has gained about 25 pounds. Her blood sugar has also jumped up about 40 points (which only happens when she is on steroids).
4/24 Update – Teresa in Fort Worth provided an update: The pump that was put in to battle cancer in December can only be used for 6 months. After that, it starts to damage the liver. So she may have to go back onto the medication that made her lose her hair and messed up her vision and nails, and then return to this medication after a break. This is not good news, since this new medication is working so well. But for now, she is doing well and is incredibly grateful for the time that she has been given so far. 4/4 – Reforger posted that his wife’s father passed away on 4/3. After a 50 year battle with Hep C, he fell and broke his neck. He lasted about a month, in and out of induced comas, and now the pain is over. Reforger lost his father on Holy Saturday (years ago) and now his wife lost her father on Good Friday. 4/11 – Eromero craves prayers for Mrs. E., as she has been diagnosed with lymphoma. She begins infusions on 4/23.
4/25 Update – Mrs. E. reports that she feels fine. Praise be to God that she has had only one distressful episode during the infusions. Thank you for all the past and continued prayers. 4/18 – Vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Captain Whitebread, who is back in ICU with a leg infection that sounds very serious. She also asked for prayers for her husband’s mental and emotional well-being as he faces transition of a possible forced retirement in 3 months.
4/29 Update Captain Whitebread’s son posted that Captain Whitebread had several more infections and passed away on 4/29. 4/18 – Warai-otoko offered a prayer of thanksgiving that he got a new job that he is really enjoying. Wifey also got an offer for a new job that sounds great, after a decade of putting up with her old job. 4/18 – fd posted that MIL went into the hospital with multiple issues. Then Dad went in. MIL is still there, and Dad is out. Both will be okay – as well as can be expected for 87 and 89 year olds. Also GSD Bruno started chemo for lymphoma and is responding well. Prayers from the Horde have helped. 4/18 – neverenoughcaffiene asked that Devyn be kept in prayers. She is a young mother of 2 with a mass on her esophagus. The Doc said it was scar tissue and hopefully the second opinion will agree. 4/18 – Smell the Glove could use some prayers as therapy and rehab occur after gout/sepsis.
4/25 Update – Thanks for your prayers. The extreme gout has cleared and the nasty wound is healing. 4/18 – PA Dutchman asked for prayers for his family. His dad passed away on 4/9 after complications from a fall. He was 95 and a veteran of the Korean War, 34th Inf Rgt. Mostly prayers are need for PA Dutchman’s mom, who is absolutely heartbroken. 4/18 – PabloD has been having dizzy spells for the past few weeks. He is seeing a doctor soon, and is requesting prayers that figure it out and that it’s nothing too serious. 4/18 – Sam Adams requested prayers for a friend, Mary F, who was just sent to a long-term recovery facility after having a tracheostomy. 4/18 – Doof provided an update on his mother. She is doing better. She moved into her own room in an assisted living facility. It’s walking distance from Doof’s house, which is great. Her mental state has improved dramatically. She can no longer walk but she does stand with some assistance and can transfer between a wheelchair and bed or a lift/recliner chair. This facility is more of a home and less of a hospital, which hopefully will provide a good opportunity for her to enjoy life. He appreciates the Horde’s prayers and asks for prayers that she settles in comfortably and develops new friendships. 4/24 – Notsothoreau asked for prayers for a friend’s father (Cory), who needs prayers for strength and peace as he is going through some troubled times. 4/27 – Matthew Kant Cipher sent his thanks to those who prayed for his friend Layne (who is also his son’s FIL). The Horde may recall that in August, Layne was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He has since undergone courses of chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation. His latest scans came back clean. The cancer is in remission; praise be to God! Prayers are also humbly requested for Mrs. MKC, who is dealing with a new flare-up of a GI condition that had been leaving her alone until a recent procedure re-aggravated it. It is very frustrating/discouraging as she waits to see a new GI doctor. 4/25 – Retired Buckeye Cop asked that we would continue to lift his 16 year old grandson (LH) up in prayers, as LH continues to consider the call to priesthood in the Catholic Church. LH recently went to a meeting with a group of young men who are considering the priesthood. 4/25 – Fenelon Spoke asked for prayers for “I”, who Fenelon visited and anointed with oil, and prayed for healing of her health concerns. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Went to Confession yesterday at my local parish. On Fridays Confessions are heard between 10 and 11 and I got there at 10:20 to see about 25 people ahead of me. I thought I was a dead duck but, for once and despite the greater number of women in line, everyone (or the priest) was very efficient.

Reminder: The Charlie Brown character is a representation of frustrated hopes and dreams. His true failure is in retaining unwarranted hope and optimism. As he grows into adulthood, the true nature of his predicament will become undeniable, and he will move on to the only rational response: opiates, life on the street, and a pauper's grave.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yeah, blackpillers hardest hit. Glad to hear you are on the mend.
I seem to have had a brush with mycocarditis, first time since my Cardiac Event in 2019. Went to the ER, found I wasn't having a full-on attack, taking it easy and scheduling follow-up appointments with primary and cardiologist.
The rest is helping, and because I've been sidelined, the kids have stepped up and are cleaning and reorganizing the house, telling me to just chill. I think they finally realize how much I hate the current mess, and that leaving me to do it alone pretty much guarantees I'll work myself back into the hospital, same as in 2019.
As was the case then, this is a blessing in disguise. Lots more time to read St. Augustine!

QT, people will say that for you now, "Every day is Saturday." On one level, that's true. But now, the errands you *had* to run on Saturday (or Sunday) because you were occupied M-F can be dealt with on any day. So those errands days will seem like your old Saturday, and if you choose to do nothing on your actual Saturday, it will seem like a vacation day in the old times.
Such is my reaction after a year in retirement, anyway.

Finished a long and utterly pointless (save from the historical perspective) project imaginable. I went through every show that our late, great Lacey appeared in as a special and squared up all the records, all 379 of them. Date, show, link to the AKC results, entry, results in breed and group and who she lost to.
The searchable results on the AKC site only go back 10 years and Lacey was shown between 2000 and 2005. If a judge dies or goes inactive, or if a club ceases to exist, they're purged from the AKC site. So it required some inventiveness to gather everything up accurately. But it was done.

During the COVID nonsense I became so disgusted I retired in place in late '21. Quiet quitting and all that. I faced pretty much every decision and assignment with the question Does It Matter and a shoulder shrug. After watching my entire management chain bully pregnant employees into a medical procedure they didn't want I refused to take any more ethics training and just shifted my transmission into neutral. Buh bye.

"They found regular coffee drinkers experienced more impulsive behaviour and emotional reactivity than people who did not drink coffee.
But after coffee drinkers gave up their habit for a fortnight, both measures fell."
Then they go on to tell you how re-introducing coffee lowered anxiety and psychological distress, and coffee consumption improves gut biome and reduces inflammation.
You cannot hate journalists enough.

51 I've been retired for about 6 years. It's true that weekends "don't matter as much" as they used to. I find I get into a week sometimes and have no clue what the actual day of the week is. It's nice to go to the grocery store on, say, Tuesday afternoon and it not being as busy as Saturday. Or getting the oil changed on Thursday morning and there being nobody in line.
I still can't figure out trash day though.

I sympathize with those who have deep spiritual concerns and want to talk to a priest about them. The problem is that Confession during regular hours is a bad place to do it. Given the limited hours most parishes provide, I sympathize somewhat more with those many people who are waiting patiently for their turn.

Alternate take: they had a racy lives back in the day, and as they feel their end coming, many memories are coming back to them and they seek consolation when recalling a lifetime's worth of sin.
I am much more conscientious than I was before I turned 29, and my confessions often turn to confronting the shame I now feel for what I did. What seemed praiseworthy and "wild" was in reality depraved and I was too blind to see it. Looking back with clear moral teaching, I shudder, especially as I help raise the grandchildren to avoid those sins.
I do find much consolation in that my kids literally cannot conceive of me having a sordid past - not because I am a hypocrite, but because I raised them with strong guardrails that they have (for the most part) respected. I wish my parents had given me that gift instead of what they imagined to be "freedom."

Daily Tech News 2 May 2026
Top Story
- Just five days ago I wrote this:
It's been a while since we've had a big tech news story. No disasters, no miracles. Things haven't suddenly gotten better - or at least, not much, and they haven't gotten drastically worse.
Well.
A Linux exploit has been found that instantly grants root access to local users on most Linux versions released since 2017. (Tom's Hardware)Although it's not a zero-day and the kernel has already gotten a patch, the short disclosure window gave distro makers relatively little time to react. Affected variants include (but aren't limited to) Ubuntu 24 (version 26 was just released last week), RHEL 10, Suse 16, and Amazon Linux 2023. Even Windows' WSL2 is affected, and all it takes is 732 bytes to do it.
Fortunately for me, only one server was potentially vulnerable, and that one didn't have the affected module loaded, and I've now disabled it completely.
But even more sysadmins are having a bad day.
- Like the ones at Canonical - the company behind the popular Ubuntu Linux release - whose corporate servers are mostly dead right now thanks to a massive ongoing DDOS attack. (Tom's Hardware)
If you've already installed Ubuntu you are still able to load updates - like the patch for the so-called CopyFail bug mentioned above - from the numerous mirrors, which don't seem to be affected at all.
- My other server - not this one, but where my own blog and many others are hosted - decided to drop dead, completely unrelated to all the other drama going on in the Linux world.
Fortunately I set it up years ago to make migrations easy - and to keep backups separate from the system disk. But it still took a few hours to get it all working smoothly.
The silverfish lining is that I've wanted to do this for months but it never hit the top of my to do list. I already had a new server, twice the size of the old one and actually cheaper. So that's where those sites are running now.

- The Pentagon has reached deals with all the major AI providers except one. (Reuters)
You probably won't guess which one, but it rhymes with Banthropic.
- Spotify meanwhile is adding "verified organic human" badges to artist pages. (BBC)
Because a majority of music being uploaded is already AI-generated.
But not a majority of music people listen to.
- The Oscars have also declared war on the clanker menace. (Hollywood Reporter)
If the skinsuit doesn't fit you might as well quit.
- Apple's Mac Mini and Mac Studio are disappearing fast at both the high and low ends. (WCCFTech)
The Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM was first to go, and now the 256GB Mac Mini has disappeared as well.
That's 256GB of SSD, mind you, which was not a lot even in 2017.

We had a parrot that was foul-mouthed, but we didn't know it. As with other birds (parakeets, parrots, etc), he was found near the chicken coop trying to get to the chicken feed. Anyway, he had a bad temper and liked to scream, so my Dad would scream back, "Shut up, Stupid!"...one day my Mom was trying to teach him "I Love you Jesus!"...the parrot screamed back at her, "Shut up, Stupid!"...that was enough for my Mom, who put him up at the local pet shop to be sold. Mexican guy walk in, starts cursing at Sam, and Sam curses him back blue in Spanish; guy bought the parrot right away.

She is saying the legislature decided the VRA was a necessary cure for social injustice still lingering from post civil-war efforts to cure racism in southern politics, and only the Congress should (or, can) decide when the cure is no longer necessary. This, regardless, of whether the Constitution permits the Act in the first place, because she believes the Constitution is an imperfect changing document that is, like, really old and the Democrat Party should decide when and where it applies.

“I dissent because Congress elected otherwise,” she continued. “I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote. I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity. I dissent.”
She read her dissent aloud from the bench, a rare move the justices reserve for when they want to express their strong disagreements in a case.

She is saying the legislature decided the VRA was a necessary cure for social injustice still lingering from post civil-war efforts to cure racism in southern politics, and only the Congress should (or, can) decide when the cure is no longer necessary. This, regardless, of whether the Constitution permits the Act in the first place, because she believes the Constitution is an imperfect changing document that is, like, really old and the Democrat Party should decide when and where it applies.
Or something.

I should have retired at the end of last year, but they put an informal 'stop loss' on me...
Maybe I'll set up a small feral hog ranching operation on the Big Island. Own some land there and I need to go check up on it. At one time wanted to make a simple 2 BR 1 Bath post & pier house and cut a straight line out the back side down about 1000 ft for popping pigs. I think it would be very relaxing low key lifestyle.

"how many indians die from stealing electricity?"
"Electrocution deaths in India are often linked to illegal activities like power theft, but specific statistics on fatalities directly caused by stealing electricity are not readily available. However, overall, around 12,500 people die each year from electrocution, which can include incidents related to unsafe practices like unauthorized connections."

I rarely nap at all in my entire life. As a kid when it was forced I stared at the ceiling or, in later years, read a book.
Since I had a virus that wiped me out in February I tire easily. It could be due to getting older. Some people like naps and take them happily. They make me more stupid afterwards and discombobulated. I think I slept about one hour today at 2pm. Up at 7am after a decent (for me) sleep.
Naps:

His specific complaints were:
- Tits are bigger than you think they are. Now, I prefer a moderate bosom but I wouldn't downgrade a girlfriend over big tits.
- She wanted lots of sex. Seriously, he complained that she wanted lots of sex. Now, I get that he was a musician so he was banging groupies all the time but to say that the problem that you have with your girlfriend is that she wants to have sex - with you - all the time? That's sus.

We were watching Hacksaw Ridge (one half of the movie) and when we stopped I could not remember what day it was for a few seconds, but did not tell my dude.
This was probably because we went to a kid's Mass this morning for Grandparents and threw my internal clock completely off.

His specific complaints were:
- Tits are bigger than you think they are. Now, I prefer a moderate bosom but I wouldn't downgrade a girlfriend over big tits.
- She wanted lots of sex. Seriously, he complained that she wanted lots of sex. Now, I get that he was a musician so he was banging groupies all the time but to say that the problem that you have with your girlfriend is that she wants to have sex - with you - all the time? That's sus.

Yeah but she might be a few fries short of a happy meal and he didn’t want to hurt her feelings.
I’ve only ever seen the guy in their ‘Virtual Insanity’ song’s video. Which was a cool video, btw.
They were like a one hit wonder in the late 90s.
So maybe Winona dumped him and it’s all cope.

Posted by: a.moron
There is a crane safety vid out there with a (obviously too small) crane on a dock going into the drink.
Then the larger crane sent to pull the first crane out goes in too. Then another.
I think they brought a big muther for the forth and final try. Success.
Make sure you bring enough crane for the job.

I only read headlines of news because unless I am interested it is a waste of my time.
I also liked the food chart above, created by someone ticked off. It did not cover the food I was craving when I used to sample Play Doh in kindergarten to see if the colors tasted differently.
I don't remember much about kindergarten but apparently I rocked my poem for parents, "Pussy Willow." The teacher chose it for me, Morons.
The only other memory in the private Kindergarten run by Mrs. Nelson I have is eating Vanilla Wafers. A girl liked me so much she gave me half of hers that she'd taken a bite out of and gross mushy!
A girl in PreK4 at school today liked me so much she showed me all of her work at Grandparent's Day. She either had no grandparents come or just liked me a whole lot, but she was not my granddauhter. Granted I was sitting at the little art table on a little wooden chair as I was tired.

You can blame MSFT.
They realized they could get cheap developers from India...cheaply. India in turn quickly adapted and started churning out tech workers. They speak a version of English and work for pennies on the dollars compared to US workers.
And...the poison is...Indians hire other Indians. 20 years after it started, they have taken over. And, to be nice, on average, they are not very good at technology. They are cheap. Some are very nice. But I wouldn't trust my life to anything developed by Indian devs.

We had a good IT education infrastructure going in the late 90's early 00's... I know, I was teaching network engineering.... then... suddenly... the US Government changed the rules so any retraining dollar... Vet, Disabled, Unemployed, AND writing off corporate training, was only valid if the course was College Accredited.
We were delivering $1 Million per month in training in 2000 in the Denver - Co Springs - Boulder market...

Their biggest hits were their first two albums, Shake Your Money Maker (1990) and The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1992), but instead here's a bit of a deep cut off their third album Amorica (1994). As usual, I asked Brave AI for suggestions to showcase his playing specifically; and after listening to a few, I would describe Johnny Colt's bass lines in this one as "slick" and "melodic," holding the groove without disappearing into the background:

Two years later, on May Day of 1968, future rock bassist D'arcy Wretzky was born to a pipefitter and a musician -- and you can already tell from the fact of reading this that she did not follow in her father's footsteps. She was the original bassist for The Smashing Pumpkins, through their first six albums.
They have a lot of hits, and I managed to find this live performance in a record store on the eve of the release of their second album Siamese Dream (1993). This song was not actually released as a single until 30 years later, as an album anniversary thing, long after it was already popular. A nice thing about this recording for my purpose here is that, since Billy Corgan and James Iha were basically forced onto acoustic guitars by the noise constraints of the venue, D'arcy's bass really shines through without even trying. It's an accidentally great showcase:

I am watching a series, "Unforgettable," on Amazon of a homicide detective who remembers every detail instantly. Poppy Montgomery is very pretty but I have a new obsession of anyone with a mole next to their lips. I have a history of skin cancer and an imaginary degree in dermatology. I look at people's moles in public for decades. Usually for melanomas.
I guess with it being on screen, lips are my focus vs eye contact in real life, altho I don't recall meeting anyone with lip moles. Now I probably will and have to restrain myself.
Another show that puts me to sleep once a week is Hope Valley: 1974.Canadian. Corny but ok and I sort of like the lead actor. Lead actress has several lip moles really in need of my scalpel, way more than Poppy Montomery's.
I know if I had one, benign or not,it would drive me insane to lizard behavior as IT's RIGHT THERE and my tongue would mess with it forever.

There was a proposal to define caste discrimination legally as racial discrimination in California.
(Try getting a job as a Dalit (untouchable) in Silicon Valley.)
The Brahmins who run Silicon Valley companies shot that down real fast.

Transcript from the board for Capt. Yvonne Gray, RNZN has produced some howlers.
Ten minutes after hitting the coral reef, the bridge crew and Gray realize they had the ship in Auto. Ten minutes after.
Gray is also recorded as saying to one of the others on the bridge, "you know the propulsion system, get it back up."
Twice Gray gets on the ship's speakers to remind the crew to go use the bathroom before going to the life rafts.

Most leftists and normies don't realize they are living in a Western Judeo-Christian society and just sort of take it for granted that things like respect for life are universal.
In fact, leftists will often say something like, "Do you think without being being afraid of your flying Spaghetti Monster then people will just do terrible things to each?" and the answer is yes. History proves it again and again and again

And now NZ, as Anna describes, yikes. (been a while since I've seen NZFrankwithanM2 commenting - he knows the story of NZ's decline much better of course). I've only spent about a month there, but even then, especially when in the less populous areas of the South Island (which is most of it), the laconic practical good sense and independence of people shown through quite a bit.
Meanwhile, dunno where it stands, but Australia was recently looking at trying its most decorated soldier from A'stan for *war crimes* - and unless what I read was wrong, you won't believe the grounds.

Autopilot on ships should be set up such that any manual control input will immediately disengage it, said action to be accompanied by a horn sounding, and a recorded voice announcing "autopilot disengaged!" I would go so far as to have interior lighting on the bridge colored green while autopilot is engaged, and red when it is not.
A contributing factor in the sinking of the Queen of the North in B.C. was that the vessel had recently undergone a bridge refit, and the helmsman had to leave the helm and cross the bridge to disengage the autopilot.

Anyway, while working with US forces in A'stan, some Aussie soldiers adopted the US technique of firing warning shots near actual/suspected adversaries, which often led to them stopping/surrendering. A good outcome by any standard. But since such tactics are verboten to Australian forces, uh oh.
Perhaps what I read was wrong, but don't see how someone could make something like this up. In any case, Aussie politix seems to have a huge element of stoopid now, seemingly to keep pace with poor Canada and the pathetic UK.

The Baptist church I grew up in sent a missionary to the Indian province of Assam. There was a big effort by the American Baptist convention and at one time in Assam a large percentage of the population was Baptist.

The Slants, "the world's first and only all-Asian American dance rock band," are a local Portland, Ore. band that I actually after-partied with once, back in the day. They're fun people.
The Slants - Kokoro (I Fall to Pieces) [official music video]
https://youtu.be/KYLGwjE_lNg
The relevant Supreme Court case to be allowed to trademark the band name is Matal v. Tam, after band founder and bassist Simon Tam, who brought the suit. It was a really big deal that consumed a chunk of his life, but he's a driven guy and saw it through. He even wrote a book about it.

Interestingly, the upper stage of the Falcon 9 that launched the Blue Ghost lander to the Moon back in Jan, 2025 is going to crash into the Moon on Aug 5, sometime around 6:44Z, or 2:44AM EDT.
It's going to hit close to Einstein Crater on the western limb, and the Moon will be near the 3rd quarter, so that region will be in sunlight.
Impact speed will be "only" around 5400 mph, and that's not enough to make any bright impact flash anyway. Biggest ground based telescopes couldn't see it if they tried even if it was in the dark (they did try one time with another planned impact).

Something else interesting. The US military tracks just about every piece of space junk up there, but that only extended to geostationary radius, call it 22,000 miles or so. They don't track cisulunar space. That's been the province of some civilian astronomers and trackers.
That is changing. Air Force is developing some tracking satellites and they will expand coverage out beyond the Moon a bit. Space Force will be in charge of it once it's operational.
They're calling it CHPS, the Cislunar Highway Patrol. Why now? Chicoms, mainly. They've got Moon ambitions, and we need to carefully watch so they don't try to sneak something in this region.

British law graduate Tiana Krasniqi had married death row inmate James Broadnax just weeks before he died by lethal injection Thursday while professing his innocence for killing two men in a 2008 robbery.
The new wife — who struck up her relationship with the killer by writing to him in prison as part of her law studies — was inconsolable as he was finally executed hours after the US Supreme Court denied a request to stop it.

Nope. LRO and the others aren't designed for tracking small objects at all. Their mission was precision mapping of the lunar surface.
We don't have anything capable of small object cislunar tracking at all now. It's a big blind spot that the Chicoms could and likely would exploit. They have several spacecraft in lunar orbit now. Who knows what they may actually be doing beyond their stated purposes.

The mascons make low orbits very unstable. Anything below about 60 miles will crash in very short order without active maneuvering, which requires fuel. However, the Moon has some tricks, the so-called frozen orbits, where all the perturbations cancel out, and they can remain stable for a long time. They mapped out the gravity field of the Moon to high precision by 2001 and confirmed these. They had suspected they existed for a good while.
There are four magic inclinations, 27, 50, 76, and 86 degrees. The LRO is parked in that 86 degree inclination right now. It's nearly polar, which is what you want for a mapping orbit.

One morning I got especially early and took a swim in the ocean. Just swam parallel to the shore for a bit. Just to do it. My only concern was what was on the bottom, so I waded out only until it was deep enough to swim before leaving my feet, same procedure on the way in. Beach was pretty clean. But I didn't want some kind nasty cut on my foot under the circumstances.

Besides the splendor and the vistas, Argentine Patagonia was the site of the "Patagonian Rebellion" a workers' uprising and protest in the 1920's over working conditions and pay on the sheep raising estates. The wool was sold to England, and the market was very soft after the end of WWI, so pay cratered and the working conditions and the company store system stayed as predatory as before. Argentine working classes at the time were very much influenced by the Italian diaspora, and a lot of THOSE left Italy because of problems they faced being part of the Anarcho-syndicalist movement back in the old country, so it is considered an anarchist worker type uprising. It was also brutally put down by the Argentine army.

I thought that the point of executing the whole renaming exercise was to erase any aspect of the former and oppressive name.
Think about it. Upon hearing the name, Lake That Was Formerly Fee, what the first thing your mind works that out to be. "Do you mean 'Slave Lake'?"

There's a bunch of places with architecture in southern Chile that looks like it came from a German town. Happened before the Nazis when Chile was looking for European immigrants to help build the economy.
It's not surprising we know so little about South America given where most of us came from and the fact it has never been a big focus for Americans. But it's a pretty spectacular place. And as Rhomboid noted largely the same time zone.

The Chilean military still uses (I think) the German WWII style helmets in their ceremonial units. And the Chilean Navy used to name many of their ships after British naval figures or events, and at least used to model themselves closely on the Royal Navy, which is interesting given that their only real rivals next door in Argentina have a large cultural affinity for England ("think they are British").

The Week in Woke
The fascist state of Vermont banned a small Christian school from all sport and academic competitions because they forfeited games against schools featuring male cheaters on their "female" teams. But they're now faced to pay a half million in damages (which seems... inadequate).
In Formerly First World (FFW) country Australia, women are being forced to sign pledges that they will not object to playing a team packed with five (5!) male cheaters, will not protest being forced to play against male cheaters -- not even silent protests, like taking a knee -- and will not forfeit games to avoid being injured by the five male cheaters. By the way, the "Flying Bats," packed with not one, not two, but five male cheaters, were the undefeated champions (17-0) of the Premier League. Gee I wonder how they managed that.
Vermont pays $566K in damages, legal fees to Christian school it banned from all sports competitions for years
A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized Tuesday after the school was barred from athletics and academic competitions for two years FIRST ON FOX: State education agencies in Vermont have paid over $566,000 in damages and legal fees to a Christian school that was banned from all sports and academic competitions for two years after its girls' basketball team refused to compete against a trans athlete in 2023. A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized on Tuesday that awarded the plaintiffs, including the Mid Vermont Christian School and its law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the $566,000. Fox News Digital reached out to the Vermont Principals' Association and the Vermont State Board of Education for a response.
The settlement comes after a years-long saga in which all the school's sports teams, and even its academic teams, like spelling bee and mathletes, had to travel out of state to compete against other schools. The conflict dates back to an afternoon early in the 2023 school year at Mid Vermont Christian, when the school decided to forfeit a girls' basketball postseason game against a team with a trans athlete. Their Christian faith was more important to them than a game. But it was still a hard call, and it brought some tears. "We were all in agreement that the right decision was to not compromise our beliefs and to withdraw, but the conversation with the players was the hardest," Mid Vermont Christian girls' basketball coach Chris Goodwin told Fox News Digital. "Because you play a 20-game season, and you put in the work and the expectation is that you enter the postseason tournament with a shot to see how you're going to do and to see how far you can get. So there were some teary eyes, and some sad faces, but in the end, they all really did understand that it was the right thing to do."
placeholder But it was about to get much harder for not just the team, but for the entire school of about 111 students. Within days of the forfeit, they learned the consequences escalated far beyond a single game. The Vermont Principals' Association banned the school, not just from basketball, but from all athletics and a range of academic competitions. "Almost immediately... they came out very strongly," Goodwin said. "We were going to be banned from all athletic competition in the state... and then on top of that... science fairs and spelling bees." What followed was not a single lost season, but years of dislocation. The school was forced to arrange competitions with schools out of state just to make sure their extracurricular programs could continue. Instead of short bus rides to nearby schools, teams traveled hours across state lines. Familiar rivalries disappeared. Home gyms sat quieter. "The travel is probably triple," Goodwin said. "You're getting back at 10 o'clock at night... kids trying to do homework. I don't want to say there's a nightmare, but it was difficult." ... ADF Senior Counsel Dave Cortman told Fox News Digital that he was shocked at how firmly the education authorities in Vermont wouldn't back down from their sweeping sanction on the small Christian school. "It's been surprising how much the state has dug in their heels," he said. "The arguments they've made... even saying your beliefs are wrong... "Their message was, 'in order for you to follow your religious beliefs, boys are boys, girls are girls, that would actually violate their nondiscrimination policies.' So the irony of it was, they were discriminating against religious schools."
Sydney's Flying Bats sparked debate after an unbeaten title run, as new league rules now require teams to play them, with penalties for refusing fixtures. Women's football in Sydney is facing a heated debate. The focus is on Flying Bats FC, a club that won the 2024 season unbeaten and has since become the center of controversy. The team, which included five transgender players, won the title without a single loss. They scored 65 goals and conceded only four. According to reports, they recorded six clean-sheet wins, including two in the semifinals on the way to the final.A clean-sheet win is a win where you do not give up any goals to the opponent. Boy this team must really practice hard!!! Women are being forced to sign this pledge as a condition for playing in the league at all. Note that there is an intersex league that permits men and women to play together, but the male cheaters refuse to play in that league. They want to beat up women because they're envious that the women are women and they are not. Those last two stories via aPauling News. Thomas Jipping and Hans von Spakovsky revisit the "swinging dicks" decision from the Ninth Circuit.
Is diversity the strength of the Canadian military? Turns out that a platoon containing 83% foreigners from Africa devolved into "interethnic infighting" with each other. Juno News:
We usually give just one judge our "Dishonorable Judicial Conduct Award" but the opinion recently issued by two judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Clinton appointees M. Margaret McKeown and Ronald M. Gould, was so outrageous -- and so outside the law -- that we felt compelled to give them both our April award. Olympus Spa v. Armstrong began as a lawsuit by the owners of two Korean spas that limited entry only to "[b]iological women." They refused entry to a man claiming to be a woman who had not had surgery to change his intact male genitals, and he filed a complaint with the Washington Human Rights Commission (WHRC). ... Lee, who replaced the notorious liberal icon Stephen Reinhardt, provided important context for this case. Korean spas, he explained, are "steeped in centuries-old tradition" and focus on "rejuvenating the body and mind through treatments" that "require their patrons to be fully naked." ... McKeown and Gould, Lee wrote, are telling Olympus Spa that "women -- and girls as young as 13-years-old -- must be nude alongside patrons with exposed male genitalia as they receive treatment." Plus, the female employees will be forced to "provide full-body massages to naked pre-operative transgender women with intact male sexual organs." The spa's owners explained that their "Christian belief in modesty between men and women" is a "central tenet" of their "traditional theologically conservative" beliefs. But as Lee says, their "pleas fell on deaf ears," and there was a complete lack of sympathy for "members of a racial minority group who want to share their cultural heritage and provide a safe space for women and girls."
... Shockingly, the full Ninth Circuit refused the spa owners' request to review this outrageous three-judge decision. In his dissent from that denial, Judge Lawrence VanDyke (a Trump appointee) used graphic language to describe this miscarriage of justice. This case, he wrote, is about male genitals, plain and simple, although Vandyke used a much more graphic term about "swinging d**ks." ... VanDyke wrote that anyone disturbed by his choice of words should consider how much more distress Washington state and the Ninth Circuit are forcing upon women and girls in Korean spas. VanDyke added that while his "distressed colleagues appear to have the fastidious sensibilities of a Victorian nun," they have no such scruples "when it comes to the government trampling on religious liberties and exposing women and girls to male genitalia. That kind of selective outrage speaks for itself."
A confidential Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School report has revealed a complete breakdown in basic officer training following a surge in permanent resident enrolment. One French-language platoon, which had over 80 per cent non-citizens, was reportedly wracked by an inability to communicate fluently, a lack of respect towards female CAF members and infighting between Cameroonian and Cote d'Ivoire candidates. The Quebec platoon saw fewer than one in two recruits graduate, while allegations of racial discrimination were made in multiple directions, from candidates against staff and between candidates of opposing ethnic blocs themselves. Additionally, command saw "challenges" in training permanent residents as they lacked "respect towards women" peers and superiors. "For many candidates it is the first time they have lived with members of a different sex, and for some it is also the first time they have been expected to treat women as their peers," explained the confidential report. "Platoons are also reporting inter-candidate cultural frustrations, with lack of respect towards women being the most common concern."Theory: A country whose military is made up 80% of foreign invaders will not be a country in ten years' time.
Katie Daviscourt 📸
@KatieDaviscourt Breaking: The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against anti-ICE protesters, issuing another block against a judge's order prohibiting federal officers from deploying crowd control munitions on protesters at the Portland ICE facility. The three-panel decision, issued by judges Kenneth Lee, Eric Tung, "and Ana de Alba (dissent), reads as follows: "The First Amendment does not protect vandalism, criminal trespass, or obstruction of law enforcement. Such unlawful acts, however, have been commonplace around the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") building in Portland over the past year." Numerous provocateurs--many wielding bats, shields, and strobe lights that disrupt vision--have hurled bricks, smashed security cameras, and blocked the driveway to prevent ICE cars from entering or exiting the building. In response, the government has used tear gas, pepper balls, and other non-lethal munitions to disperse the crowd." "Five plaintiffs sued the government, alleging that they are peaceful protesters who have been injured as a result of the crowd-control tactics. But they do not contend that they are collateral casualties caught in the crossfire--they claim that the government specifically targeted them in retaliation for exercising their First Amendment rights." "The plaintiffs have not shown that the agents had the subjective intent to retaliate or that the government has an unwritten policy targeting them. Much of the evidence shows the government trying to clear the entrance to the ICE facility in the face of unrest and an unruly crowd. And while some individual incidents might indicate an arguably disproportionate use of force, they alone do not amount to an unwritten policy of retaliation."

Armies are generally a microcosm of the society from which they come. They are the ultimate melting pot that forges unity, brotherhood and sense of purpose. This is especially true in times of war where the man standing next to you is all that matters.
Having said that you know why liberal, commie Democrats have continually tried to break that espirit de corps, and replace creed with incredulity.
A breakdown in the military proceeds or at least runs in tandem with a societal breakdown. Molding troops into factions based on politics makes them more likely to support the authoritarians who have allowed them to evolve into balkanized partisan gangs.
It’s why SecWar is changing the culture and restoring the warrior spirit top to bottom. We can not, we must not devolve in that way for the good of our democratic republic.

The Trump admin is now defending its anti-trans prison policies by arguing care for trans adults can be banned because it isn’t healthcare. The consequences will extend far beyond prisons.
Yeah, i brought up to my union that the insurance company asked about my spiritual and religious beliefs. I was worried that they’d deny my hrt and insulin. Still am.
2025 playbook in action. force women into men's prisons, subject them to physical and mental torture daily to force detransition as their only means of survival and escape, Guantanamo Bay style, while preventing and covering up all attempts at self harm.
It's pretty amazing to think that politics can determine medical procedures. It's the most illiberal and unethical approach that does harm in a context of 'do no harm.'

Milk in my house doesn't last long enough to go sour. It's gone way before the date on the container. If your milk is going sour before the expiration date, check the temperature of your fridge. And I only use it for cereal as well, alternating every other day with oatmeal. So, a quart lasts about a week.

Racism is 'illegal' in Brazil.
The 1988 Federal Constitution explicitly defines racism as a crime that is non-bailable and not subject to a statute of limitations. The law prohibits various discriminatory acts, including the refusal of entry to public or private facilities, employment discrimination, and the dissemination of racially offensive symbols or epithets. Violations can result in imprisonment and fines, although activists and legal experts often argue that enforcement remains inconsistent and that penalties are sometimes insufficient to deter the practice

I'm sitting in a majority white state, SC, with a sizable (~30%) black population.
One of our senators is black.
He was actually re-elected being black, in a state-wide race.
The idea that blacks won't get represented, or elected, in the south without carved-out congressional districts is ridiculous.
All they have to do is put up decent candidates that align with the majorities opinions & priorities and they'll be elected.

A lot of people can't tell.
In Italy they have experts that judge the oil and give it a rating. after it starts to oxidize (go rancid) they call it lamp oil as it is unfit for consumption, but again, many people can not tell until it it really bad.
Most real oils will go rancid -- nuts too. "cooking oil" doesn't because of how it is processed to make it stable. That is part of the problem. Even fats -- I have had lard go rancid. It is still edible, just not as good. (I had two containers, one in fridge, and one out. The one in fridge was OK, but summer in Japan is very hot and about 85 or so and all my oils start to turn. comparing them it was obvious.

Understanding Evaporated Water vs. Distilled Water
Evaporated water is simply water that has transitioned from liquid to vapor form due to heat or reduced pressure. On its own, evaporated water is not a consumable product—it's a gaseous state of water, not something you can bottle or drink.
What people often mean by "evaporated water" is actually distilled water, which is produced by evaporating water and then condensing the vapor back into liquid form. This process removes impurities like salts, minerals, and contaminants, resulting in highly purified water. (cont'd)

You cannot buy "evaporated water" because it’s not a stable or transportable form.
Gaseous water vapor cannot be stored or sold like bottled liquids. Even if captured, it would need to be condensed to become drinkable.
Moreover, the natural water cycle already involves evaporation and condensation, but the resulting rainwater often picks up pollutants from the atmosphere. So, rainwater or atmospheric vapor isn’t reliably safe to drink without treatment.
There's another two paragraphs but I'll spare you all.

Evaporated water is simply water that has transitioned from liquid to vapor form due to heat or reduced pressure. On its own, evaporated water is not a consumable product—it's a gaseous state of water, not something you can bottle or drink.
What people often mean by "evaporated water" is actually distilled water, which is produced by evaporating water and then condensing the vapor back into liquid form. This process removes impurities like salts, minerals, and contaminants, resulting in highly purified water. (cont'd)

Distilled water was once evaporated:
Posted by: Harry Vandenburg at May 01, 2026 07:21 PM (kxLc1)
all water was probably evaporated at some point, unless you just made it or something.
Posted by: Oldcat at May 01, 2026 07:24 PM (8avO+)
Yes; people often abbreviation sweetened condensed milk to condensed milk, but they mean the same thing.(*)
Evaporated milk is milk with the water removed. (Sweetened) condensed milk is a more complicated process that adds a whole of of magic (i.e., sugar). Good stuff, but it’s not a replacement for milk in most cases.
*In her first, self-published, Joy of Cooking, Rombauer referred to evaporated milk as condensed milk throughout, which probably confused the hell out of her readers. This may have been a mistake on her part, or it may have been a regional (St. Louis or Missouri, perhaps) term.

It will either (a) make something up that makes no sense from the one or two references it gives, or, (b) if I am the only one discussing this particular term online, it will regurgitate what I clearly labeled as speculation on the one post I already made on the topic, but as if it were hard fact.

Obama averaged 41% approval during his second term -- and the leftist media continued insisting he was very popular. I also think that Trump has put a lot of big bets on the table and most of them are going to pay out. So I expect his rating to go higher.

Republicans don't fix anything but they don't, generally, make things worse. Democrats make things worse.
The battle is in the Republican primary and understanding that the left has been ascendant for over 100 years. We won't fix the rot in a single election, probably not even in our lifetimes, but we can reverse the trend.

Indeed. Further...
The EU has recently accelerated support for Ukraine, approving a €90 billion ($106 billion) loan package in April 2026 for 2026-2027 to bolster its economy and defense. Key support includes the Ukraine Facility providing up to €50 billion (2024–2027), over 2 million rounds of ammunition, and training for over 86,800 soldiers.
Perhaps Germany is also trying to remain at the top of EU defense in the future. I (thought it maters not) would not trust Ukraine, either.
AI Overview: Germany has unveiled a comprehensive, long-term military strategy aiming to establish the strongest conventional army in Europe by 2039, aiming for a total of 460,000 active and reserve personnel. This plan involves massive technological investments, including AI and air defense, to become the "backbone" of European defense and counteract threats.

I don’t care what anyone else says, I firmly believe the blue wave will successfully take the house, senate or both. Either way, I think a bright future will come no matter what happens.
Just remember, don’t let complacency win. That 10 point advantage is thanks to action being taken. If that lead is to be kept, or even widened, action must continue to be taken.

Republicans make people poorer. This has been true for at least 40+ years now. Damned idiots are going to kill our entire society.
Trump is speed running this country into the ground. Most of us are suffering as a result. What's worse is that our children will have it even harder. Every person who voted for Trump and the Republicans who blindly enable him are responsible for the mess we're in today.

Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
Hungry, a movie about a killer... hippo. I don't know if this is meant to be a serious movie or a half-serious one. They are making references to Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Hell No, a horror movie in which characters make sensible, logical decisions. The final Jackass movie. These guys are too old to be taking shots like this. Spider-Noir with Nicholas Cage. A series on Amazon, from Sony Pictures TV. So it's not giving Disney or Marvel any money. And I do like Spider-Man, Nicholas Cage, and Noir. The girl from Happy Birthday 2 Me in an amnesia/hallucination movie. Her husband keeps telling her everything is okay. Or should I say "her husband" because come on, we've seen this kind of thing before.The one minute teaser for Clayface looks okay.
Another post-apocalypse movie, this one from Ridley Scott.

See, I long ago advocated for studios to take these kinds of risks with their IP.
Not everything needs to be a $250 million blockbuster.
Clayface, with his Batman connections, is well-known enough of an IP to take some kind of risk with while assuming strong enough box office to justify smaller risks. Clayface reportedly only costs about $40 million.
Combine that brand recognition with the horror genre, and DCU has a guaranteed return on investment here.
James Gunn is smart.

Critical Drinker has a review of the trailer. His take is that it seems like it might be an okay horror movie. And it'll be Resident Evil in the respect that once or twice you'll see something that says Raccoon City but otherwise completely ignores everything about the game and all prior films.

It's the movie WB was going to write off and destroy. After the press blowup, they put it up for auction, eventually bought by Ketchup Studios (who?) for about $50 million.
I strongly suspect it'll bomb, but hey, at least we get the movie everyone discovers 5 years after it was released and everyone's like, "Hey, why did no one see this in theaters? It's really funny!"

I was gonna reply that Mandalorian and Grogu was relatively cheap (having some memory of it being less than $100 million to produce), but looking it up, it seems like reported budget is $166 million (and will probably end up higher).

I think that's my favorite show running.

Many of them have sympathetic backgrounds, which can garner sympathy from the audience. However, to show them *right* you have to demonstrate they are psychologically incapable of redemption. That's why they are villains within the DCU.
Kind of like the Darklords from the Ravenloft D&D setting. They are all complete monsters, no matter their background, because they will never, ever atone for the crimes that sent them down the path of becoming a Darklord.

I am unable to comprehend how so many people have the physical time in their day to both consume as much media (Esp. movies and TV) as they do, and to also CARE so much about it.
Maybe I'm just at a place in my life where I don't feel like I have either the time or the mental energy to fit it in. I get up, work all day, sit down for a few minutes, cook dinner, feed the family, clean up sometimes, maybe do some laundry or whatever else needs doing, then at the end of the day I have about an hour before it's time for bed. And I'm not spending my weekends going out of my way to see Hollywood squeeze yet another drop of blood out of the stones that are all of the current IPs they've been throat-fucking for 20 years.

Rumors are floating that Spielberg's new movie, Disclosure Day, is actually a secret sequel to Close Encounters.
There's apparently nothing from the 3rd act in any of the trailers, and people who are part of the production (like Emily Blunt, star) are bringing up Close Encounters in interviews with implications in their answers that there may be direct connections.

Now...what can we say of John Milton's "Paradise Lost"? ...Certainly we know that he was trying to describe the struggle between good and evil, right? (picks up an apple from his desk) Okay. The most intriguing character, as we all know from our reading, was Satan. Now, was Milton trying to tell us that being bad was more fun than being good?
Okay...don't write this down, but I find Milton probably as boring as you find Milton. Mrs. Milton found him boring, too. He, uh, he's a little bit long-winded, he doesn't translate very well into our generation, and his jokes are terrible. But that does not relieve you from your responsibility for this material! Now, I'm waiting for reports from some of you! (students pay no attention to him) Listen, I'm not joking! This is my job!

The rest on the list don’t seem too appealing, either. Coyote vs. ACME might be OK but I’ll wait to see some reviews to come to a conclusion about ever watching it.
Dog Stars might be alright, I always took a liking to apocalypse flicks since Mad Max, but this one looks like it will only be marginally more interesting than The Road which was so tedious and boring I’ve forgotten most of it.

The Divine Comedy has no real drama in it, to be honest.
Dante wanders from one level to the next, talking to souls, getting quick insights into lost/redeemed/saved people, and then moves on.
Honestly, it shouldn't be adapted to screen because it just doesn't have the right structure.

I don't think Hollywood can make a Warhammer or W40K movie because of Slaanesh.
No, not because it would be too sexual, but because Slaanesh worshippers look exactly like the LGTBQ+ people...

I have not seen a movie in the theater for nearly a decade, and I hated it, because it was a Star Wars abomination.
That said, I like watching a movie to unwind, especially on a Friday evening. But, I also have the ability to stop a movie, and return later. My brother does not understand this. When he starts a movie, he MUST see it all the way through in one sitting.
I read books the same way. Sometimes an hour or so at bedtime, sometimes 20 minutes.
The pause button in my brain works pretty well. Heh.

Hippos are dangerous. They are ornery and they are easy to anger. And they kind of like inflicting damage, is something I have heard.
But I guess, according to the numbers, Zebras are #1 for killing keepers, apparently. It is probably the quick strikes that do the job. But they will just charge keepers out of the blue, I read.

It was adapted to the screen, at least the Inferno was. It was Disney's The Black Hole. It was a religious movie wrapped up in sci fi. It starts with Borngnine saying "it looks like something out of Dante's Inferno" and ends with the Hell scene. You need to watch it from a religious/,spiritual perspective.

It's either a contractual obligation (as _Battleship_ was) or another of the intentionally bad horror movies based on a character that's just lapsed into the public domain.
>a horror movie in which characters make sensible, logical decisions.
Most horror movies generally show people making reasonable decisions given what they know at the time. Also, viewers sitting in a comfortable, safe movie theater severely underestimate the irrationality of people who are in shock and scared for their lives.
In general, most movies don't have the plot holes or idiot ball problems the average viewer thinks they do because the viewer is only half paying attention and ignores most of what they're shown on screen.

But hippos? They are the very pareto front of cute, deadly optimization. They are friggin adorable, and they will absolutely annihilate you. 1.0 /1.0

The end of the movie is odd, mostly plays out as an action/disaster flick, then gets "2001" strange as the Cygnus is sucked into a hell dimension.
The middle part, however, as the crew of the Palomino is exploring the Cygnus is very creepy. Great horror ambience.

Its one of the best payoffs of any movie I've ever seen. At the beginning it is established that the robot Vincent and Kate have an ESP connection. In the middle Vincent tells BOB that there connection was called The Black Hole Project. In the dinner scene it is established that the black hole is beyond human senses. When the crew is going into the black hole, they start spinning and focus on Kate's pupil as a black hole. So we see what she sees with her ESP, extra sensory perception.

The mtDNA data also showed that the modern horse is a mixture of ancient lineages, all of which can be traced back to an “Ancestral Mare,” which lived 130,000 to 160,000 years ago; thus, there is no clear mtDNA signature for modern horse breeds.

Quick Hits
The DOJ says it will enforce the Supreme Court's ruling against racist gerrymanders- - which means they'll sue the states to comply.
Missouri GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt asked the Justice Department earlier Thursday to enforce the Supreme Court ruling nationwide, noting it had the power to do so. "Senator -- we are ON IT!" Dhillon replied on X. "The [Justice Department] under [Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche] continues to prioritize equal protection of the laws for ALL Americans, be it in employment, housing, education -- and voting."This may make it easier for weak-sister red states like Indiana to redistrict. Indiana's currently resisting doing so, but if the DOJ says it has to.... Surprise! Biden's IRS sued conservative-leaning churches for bringing up political topics during sermons, but let all of their liberal black pastors preach the Democrat Gospel as much as they liked.
A new report released Thursday by the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias reveals what investigators describe as a "stark contrast" and a systemic double standard in how the Biden Internal Revenue Service policed American churches. "The Biden IRS ... [opened] multiple investigations into Christian churches focused on the content of their sermons. The IRS asked these churches for detailed information about their operations, not just about the alleged violations," the task force wrote. "But during the same time, when other houses of worship gave sermons that reflected different scriptural interpretations on culture war issues, or prayed for Democrat candidates, the Biden IRS appeared to take no action," the group added. The task force, which was established by President Donald Trump in an executive order last year, reviewed internal administration discussions, case files and prosecutorial decisions from the Biden administration across 17 federal agencies. Beyond the IRS's apparent targeting of conservative Christian churches, the task force concluded that the Biden administration's prosecution strategy, internal policies and practices demonstrated an overall anti-Christian bias that permeated throughout the federal government during that period. ... The task force determined that the Biden administration used the Johnson Amendment -- a 1954 provision added to the tax code which prohibits 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates -- to probe churches that hold traditional Christian teachings, arguing those positions amounted to political support for Republican candidates. Though the amendment, in theory, limits what pastors whose churches have 501(c)3 nonprofit status can say in evaluating candidates running for political office, it has only been "sporadically enforced," according to the Justice Department. For example, under the Obama administration, when 30 pastors instructed their congregations in 2008 on how to vote according to their interpretation of scripture, the IRS appears to have only opened an investigation into one pastor. Even then, the IRS dropped the investigation and took no enforcement action. But, the Biden administration was different. The Justice Department task force documented several investigations opened by the administration into Christian churches for possible violations of the Johnson Amendment.
Pressure grows to prosecute Fauci now that his co-conspirator in the Wuhan Cover-Up has been charged.
The indictment of Dr. Anthony Fauci's former adviser David Morens Tuesday revived calls for the Justice Department to prosecute Fauci himself for allegedly lying to Congress about funding risky research in China before the COVID-19 pandemic. Just two weeks remain before the five-year legal deadline on May 11 to indict Fauci for denying under oath that he funded "gain of function" experiments that modified bat coronaviruses in the same city where the pandemic started. Morens, 78, was charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations and two counts of concealment, removal, or mutilation of records relating to the origins of COVID-19. He faces up to 51 years in prison. Critics say Fauci, 85, bears the most responsibility and that he should be hauled into court. Trump told The Post in a phone interview on March 31 that he intended to "look into" Fauci's status and Republicans say they believe acting attorney general Todd Blanche, who is seeking the role permanently, might be willing to test Trump's assertion that former President Joe Biden's preemptive autopen pardons, including for Fauci, are invalid. "99% of this country has no idea who Morens is," said Oversight Project President Mike Howell. "It's Fauci that they will blame for one of the worst government catastrophes in history in America. And so the test is Fauci. The Morens indictment is great, and we applaud it. But there are a lot of people out there that want to see Fauci held to account for the damage he wrought." Howell, whose group sent the Justice Department a draft indictment for Morens last year, believes the adviser's actions were closely linked to his boss. "[Fauci] lied about one of the most damaging events in American history routinely and was behind a massive coverup of the key factors," Howell said. ... "On Anthony Fauci's case, we think lying to Congress is one felony," Paul said in an interview on Tuesday. "We also think that destroying federal records and advising others to destroy federal records is also a felony. So I think there's opportunity there... There was a vast both organized and unorganized conspiracy to cover up the fact that the US government was funding the research that led to the pandemic." Trump said in December that Biden was so mentally diminished that he was either unable to authorize autopen pardons or that his staff did so without his knowledge -- setting the stage for potential legal test-cases. Biden claimed to the New York Times last year that he was aware of them. To determine the validity of those pardons, "you would have to indict somebody who's been pardoned. And I think it's worth a challenge," Paul said. ... Paul said it's also possible that Fauci committed crimes after Biden's pardon and that "it might involve the question of conspiracy charges."The Supreme Court is deciding a very difficult question: is the temporary protective status granted Haitians actually temporary or is it actually, secretly permanent? Is it all just a con on the rubes so they'll be tricked into accepting mass permanent immigration by fiat?
The Party of Plunder:
The high court held oral arguments on Wednesday in a pair of consolidated cases known as Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot, which center around Trump's revocation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 6,000 Syrian and 350,000 Haitian nationals, respectively. Both groups of migrants are currently living in America under the TPS program, which may be used by the executive branch to offer temporary residency to foreign nationals from countries experiencing natural disasters, violent conflicts, and other "extraordinary and temporary conditions." The Trump administration's efforts to end TPS for the aforementioned groups were halted by lower courts. This was done despite SCOTUS previously pausing similar injunctions in a separate TPS case involving Venezuelan nationals. Arguing on behalf of the Trump administration, U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer contended that a provision within the Immigration and Nationality Act that governs TPS prohibits any form of judicial review "of any determination by the [DHS] secretary with respect to the designation or termination or extension of a designation of a foreign state for Temporary Protected Status." "That provision means what it says ... [and] bars judicial review of both the secretary's ultimate decision whether to designate, extend, or terminate, and of each antecedent step along the way to that determination," said Sauer, who added that "even if [challengers'] claims are not barred [by judicial review], they are meritless." The solicitor general's biggest pushback came from the court's more outspoken Democrat appointees. Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson kicked off the inquisition by pressing Sauer on what, if any, executive actions regarding TPS are reviewable by federal courts. The Biden appointee's back-and-forth with the solicitor general ultimately prompted Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor to join the fray and pile on with questions about the scope of judicial review as it relates to the TPS program. Sotomayor's refusal to allow Sauer to respond one of her queries on the issue prompted Chief Justice John Roberts to interject and permit Sauer to answer. It was sometime after this exchange in which Sotomayor and Jackson referenced President Trump's past "sh-thole countries" remarks to push the narrative that, as the former put it, "a discriminatory purpose may have played a part" in the administration's decision to end TPS for the various groups in question. ... ... The conservative justices' more pressing concerns, however, seemingly came during their questioning of the attorneys representing the respondents, Ahilan Arulanantham (Syrian case) and Geoffrey Pipoly (Haitian case). Both lawyers argued that the legal provisions governing TPS do not bar courts from reviewing an administration's actions on the program and that the government is required to undertake certain steps (ex. consultation and assessment of a country's conditions) before implementing such policies. They further claimed that the Trump administration did not adhere to this purported process, with Pipoly separately arguing that the president's decision to end TPS for Haitians was racially motivated.

Did the SPLC stage a hate crime in Wisconsin? The circumstantial evidence is suggestive.

Much more better.
The acts that create and organize the lower rungs of the judiciary include limitations on their jurisdiction.
The statutes themselves that created the district and appeals courts don't allow them to interfere in immigration enforcement.

From Callais majority opinion, page 3, "In short, §2 imposes liability only when the evidence supports a strong inference that the State intentionally drew its districts to afford minority voters less opportunity because of their race. Not only does this interpretation follow from the plain text
of §2, but it is consistent with the limited authority that the Fifteenth Amendment confers. Pp. 22–26.
(b) This interpretation does not require abandonment of the framework for evaluating §2 claims that the Court established in Thornburg
v. Gingles, 478 U. S. 30. The Court need only update the framework so it aligns with the statutory text and reflects important developments since the Court decided Gingles 40 years ago."
Alito is smart, he did not throw out the VRA Section 2 and other court precedents as unconstitutional facially, but rather as applied. Majority minority districts don't meet the standard for strict scrutiny as required.

The switch from race to partisan makeup in states that want to retain their urban districts as is will be so easy that lawsuits against them will get dismissed very quickly, and all appeals will fail.
The only states where it will matter will be states that have legislatures that want to change them but can't for whatever reason (foot-dragging governor, or whatever).

Really depends on how much the courts want this enforced.
The blue states will likely just claim the current districts are the partisan makeup they want or something else not raced based BUT there will be plenty of paper trail saying they are race based.
If the courts really want to screw with them they could make a reverse VRA test where the blue states, which have a history of racial discrimination now have to prove their districts aren't racially gerrymandered and could even end up with right wing judges setting the districts which would be just...Chef's Kiss...

@BreannaMorello
🚨UPDATE🚨
Chris Ostroushko and DeYanna Ostroushko FILED A LAWSUIT against their estranged daughter, Desiree Ostroushko.
The couple claims they loaned Desiree money so she could flee an abusive relationship, in the lawsuit filed last week.
Desiree has not paid the couple back, according to the pair.
The couple says their daughter owes $1,076.41, plus Court filing fees.
The lawsuit was filed after Desiree publicly distanced herself from her family, who are now accused of violently assaulting Turning Point reporter Savanah Hernandez.

I imagine that you could use demographics to show that the districts had significantly concentrated a single race into the district, thereby negatively affecting all other races in the district, to at least suggest that while partisan makeup may have been a factor, even the key factor, in the design, that race was the mechanism used to achieve it.

It doesn't really matter anymore what blue states try to do or Marc Elias. It is done and in fact, blue states themselves are now liable for citizen lawsuits over districts, particularly state legislative and city district lines. Race is not permissible as a standard anymore for districting and those state AGs are going to face a raft of lawsuits themselves as Democrats often documented out loud in hearings, etc. that they were using race just that way. That is how we ended up with urban rotten boroughs like AOC's.
And Mr. Scott, as I put above, Thornburg v. Gingles was NOT overruled and thus "Stated succinctly, a bloc voting majority must usually be able to defeat candidates supported by a politically cohesive, geographically insular minority group. " Thornburg v. Gingles. And that applies to black block voting as well as white btw.

TJM, as a legal matter, not as simple as you think.
I went back and reread the key parts of both Callais and Gingles and it is not as easy as you think. Basically, drawing extreme gerrymanders might trigger reverse racial bloc voting as that is still allowed because Callais did not overrule Gingles. It applied strict scrutiny (Brennan in Gingles could not get the court majority on board with his positive discrimination musings) to the VRA and that kills intentionally structuring districts using race because strict scrutiny forbids it because the remedy is not narrowly tailored to meet the VRA's compelling interest in preventing racial discrimination on voting and districting.
Thornburg v Gingles is a mess of a decision and that is why the majority minority districts came about in the first place. Via the DoJ and the Civil Rights Division during Reagan Bush years.

Yes they can. Most Democrats in state legislatures were quite comfortable in using racial language and outright racism in constructing districts. I had to read some of that literature back as a RA for my supervising professor. We shall have to wait and see but you are going to see a lot of districts inside states being challenged for the way they were drawn up. GOP has an easier task in that huge seas of red allow contiguous and compact districts being drawn easily, not so for Democrats trying to maximize gerrymandering and their racial coalition nature means rank political tradeoffs in those debates.

Probably not, Sponge. Blacks did not get voting rights till after the Civil War. Black preachers at the time were conservatively religious, Including Richard Allen who was African Methodist Episcopsal and others who were Baptist. These preachers stood for the saving power of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit and were not at all like Al Sharpton.

I was referring to the dialect used in the post. Not factual evidence, which I wouldn't have for a name such as "black preacher."

And the reason for the minority-majority districts is because racist white Dems didn't want black Dems deciding the Dem candidate in the primaries.
I think we underestimate how much Dems will fight each other when redistricting is re-opened in blue states.
Minority-majority districts were fine as long as the minorities knew their place was to elect white liberals.
But, there is significant growing angst in within the Dems that now these minorities want a seat at the table.

Depends on the state. Most Northern states got to universal suffrage for males pretty quickly including blacks and it gets weird before 1820 or so even in the South. Places like Georgia and Louisiana (which had the ridiculously fractional rules) had free blacks voting early on, holding property, etc. and that was true in places like Appalachia with the Melungeon mixed race populations. There was not formal voter registration in such years until the 1890's so it is difficult to determine exactly who was voting at times.
Same with voting by sex, NJ allowed widows who were head of the household and property owners to vote for example until they didn't. Wyoming allowed women to vote in state elections in the 1870's.

2nd Amendment is a different critter. Part of it is that Scotus only grudgingly did Bruen. Even Roberts to his credit seems to be aiming at getting rid of race as a classification. There is a long line of decisions back to Shelby decision canning racialism in US politics. So a cohesive majority exists to roll back racialism of decisions from 1980's forward. There is NOT a cohesive 2A majority right now on the court. ACB and Roberts are weak on it leaving only four justices.

First, throw media surveys into the trash. They are to create talking points. Second, Faux News particularly has a horrible pro Democrat polling for decades now. And any such polling should use at least registered voters as a screen and have a sample size greater than about 1000. We shall know more about August or so about what the electorate is likely to look like by then.

Data from multiple sources indicate that right-wing extremists have been responsible for significantly more political murders than left-wing extremists. For example, a 2024 report by the National Institute of Justice found that right-wing extremists murdered 520 people since 1990, compared to 78 by left-wing extremists. Another analysis covering 1975–2025 attributed 363 murders to right-wing ideology and 68 to left-wing ideology, with the vast majority of terrorist killings linked to Islamism, primarily due to the 9/11 attacks.
-- National Institute of Justice - part of the DOJ so politicized data.

NOT. That means extending such status is not subject to judicial review NOR IS ending that status. The judges have no decision to make. There is no case or controversy.
By the by, Article 3 judges have NO ROLE in immigration judicial proceedings. None. They have no say. BECAUSE the people being dealt with are NOT American citizens and hence HAVE NO RIGHTS under U.S. Law. They lack any standing to sue anyone or appeal any decision in an article 3 court. Article 2 judges decide immigration cases, and that is an administrative function of the executive branch.
Every Article 3 judge inserting themselves into immigration proceedings is doing so ILLEGALLY. They have no authority.
The supreme court has no standing to hear the case, and the plaintiffs have no standing to even bring the case.
Posted by: The Whine Guy at May 01, 2026 04:35 PM (954tc)
According to the supreme court, enduing TPS status simply means the person is being deported, and since deportation is not punishment, there is no harm, and hence no basis for standing, and no lawsuit. "My client doesn't wish to leave" is not a basis for a lawsuit. Nor is "I think these guys might be racists". It doesn't matter. That this doesn't get tossed in the first court the motion is filed in is appalling.

DOJ Releases Video of the Democrats' Latest Programmed-to-Kill Assasssin
And they had to release this because the left is pushing conspiracy theories that their new hero did not shoot a cop. They're claiming another cop shot him, in a friendly fire situation.
PJ Media, via Instapundit:The friendly fire theory just got buried -- on video. For days, questions swirled about whether a Secret Service agent wounded at the White House Correspondents' Dinner had actually been hit by fellow agents in the chaos. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro put that narrative to rest Thursday night.Any argument they can make to get their new hero off. Jake Tapper sure is a bear about debunking WITHOUT EVIDENCE conspiracy theories -- except when they come from his Democrat Assassin Audience.
Advertisement Pirro released new, high-quality security video from the Washington Hilton Hotel showing 31-year-old Cole Allen charging through a Secret Service checkpoint during the April 25 dinner, where President Trump was scheduled to speak. The footage, she noted, had already been submitted to U.S. District Court. "Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents' Dinner," Pirro said in her X post. "There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire."
Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

2. where did the bullets go? (the four we see discharged in vid.)
3. what was the agent and suit thinking about that he seems to have daydreamed past the first 2 minutes?
4. what was the dog alerting to, and why was it not deemed important?
5. why was a shitty video released first? did they degrade it for some reason?
6. was the dude in suit shot? did he deserve it?
7. kudos to the one on lower L who got off 4 rounds. was the assassin shot?
8. what happened -- did he trip? looks like he tripped just to R

- the TSA dudes did what they should have - ran away.
- Most of the agent seem reasonably alert except the dude in the suit, and the ones we can not see. I think the layout is pretty piss poor, but I don't have the whole map, so I can't say.
- Honestly, I am not sure any of them screwed up except the dude in the suit who was daydreaming, and the K9. But withholding judgment.

Gay burrito boy was in the process of felony attempted murder on Trump or someone in the Trump team at the dinner. Therefore he is legally on the hook whether he pulled the trigger or not. Perhaps its murkier since the agent was not killed, but while not a lawyer I am pretty sure the law states that regardless of you actually doing the deed you get charged for any violence that happens while you are committing a felony.

No shade on the two guys who were actually head-down working on disassembling a walk-through magnetometer, then there was another guy working on something out past the door the attacker came through, and the plain-clothes guy could be hotel security or something (looks basically like an armed concierge). But everyone else there has no excuse for an appalling lack of situational awareness.
Posted by: SciVo at May 01, 2026 02:42 PM (Sy6m/)
Except for one thing. Far as I can tell, not a *single* security guy even glanced at the "perimeter" once the idiot ran by and was subdued (how, I guess we'll learn eventually). Every single one is drawing/moving towards the action.
A basic concept here is that some eyes remain on the perimeter, as the first bad guy through may be first of several/many, and just to maintain overall SA. At least that's what I was told, saw, and experienced (all practice, no realsies). Hmmm.

The importance is that this wouldn't be categorized as an act of left-wing gun violence.
Posted by: bassboat at May 01, 2026 02:32 PM (mxEar)
Gay burrito boy was in the process of felony attempted murder on Trump or someone in the Trump team at the dinner. Therefore he is legally on the hook whether he pulled the trigger or not. Perhaps its murkier since the agent was not killed, but while not a lawyer I am pretty sure the law states that regardless of you actually doing the deed you get charged for any violence that happens while you are committing a felony.
Posted by: PaleRider at May 01, 2026 02:41 PM (PV+Zw
I'm not talking about how the law will categorize it, but how the media would have categorized it. They were probably ready to start arguing (incorrectly) that if the guy didn't shoot the cop, all that he could be on the hook for was a Plaxico Burress verdict of carrying guns in a gun free zone.

That cop's muzzle flash shows later, but I think he missed, but did not hit another cop, at least with that shot. He supposedly shot a couple other times, can't see where those went.
No evidence of anyone else being shot ... the guy that jumps back jumped before the bad guy ran past him. But I really don't see how this video makes anything absolutely clear, except the bad guy ran past them with the shotgun, and at least pointed it at the cop with gun drawn.

Everyone was watching the teardown of the magnetometers since that was the only interesting thing going on.
I think the dog clued in on the smell of the shotgun or pistol but not strongly, and the handler let it go.
In the future the handlers will probably have a partner to start shaking targets down when the dog IDs them.

Your average Moron trains more and can shoot better than the average cop. Most of them fire maybe 50 rounds once a year when they do mandatory requalification with their handgun, which is far from rigorous.

After he leaves the gym proper, there are a couple shots where you have to watch through glass as he goes into and out of a room just outside the gym. So he was scoping out the area that would be closer to the event, and found a room where he could change without even having to go into the gym itself. So he may have stashed the shotgun disassembled, put it together right before the attack, and then carried it under his coat for not a long distance.

He did his little jaunty walk up and down the hall and to the gym, friendly with the lady at the desk.
Then walked down the hall the opposite way wearing a black coat (where the gun was hidden after putting it together in another room.
I did not even notice the K-9 til now.
The good thing that I hope will come of this is better security for President Trump and Co from now on.
What is not often mentioned is this is on a floor beneath the entrance to the ballroom...or that is what I read a couple of times.
I still want footage of him being stripped down and searched for bombs. I assume his sneer is not present at this point. He looked not pleased to be sniffing hotel carpet when he was trussed and covered in a hypothermia blankie. Dikhead.

It doesn't resemble real life at all. Hitting a moving target in 3d at full speed is something few people actually do, other than hunters or infantry/spec forces do in war.
If you actually watch the available footage of armed civilians or police encountering the various types of violent low lifes, these scenes are chaotic to say the least and the worst come on suddenly where it is critical for the defenders to get their shit together suddenly in fractions of a second.
Action will always beat reaction so there is a reason that one has to be thinking ahead of the situation to either avoid or prepare rather than going into it oblivious. Hard to do when security checkpoint duty is boring until suddenly it is not.

Witnesses and law enforcement reports provided the following details regarding his movements
reparation: Allen used this makeshift room to retrieve or assemble a "long weapon"—a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun—from a bag. Location: The room was situated near the main magnetometer screening area at the Washington Hilton hotel, one floor above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents' Dinner was being held.
Immediately prior, Allen had been in his hotel room where he took a selfie of being dressed and armed. He then walked down the passageway wearing a dress coat and that's when the police dog took interest in him.

Old Spin: Democrats Aren't Socialists
Newer Spin: Democrats Are Socialists But They're Not Communists
Reality: Democrats Are Organizing May Day General Strikes With Communist Groups
Next spin: Okay we're communists, but we're not Stalinists.
And then after that: Okay we're Stalinists, but you deserve it, stupid. How clear did we have to make it that we intend to enslave and murder you?Up to 600 communist groups and other radical organizations linked to the Democratic Party are mobilizing all over the United States to demonstrate for May Day, Fox News Digital is reporting. An investigation by the outlet has identified a sprawling network with "a combined annual revenue of about $2 billion organizing some 3,000 protests and events" pushing what the outlet describes as an "anti-American agenda." The protestors are urging Americans to skip work, school, and shopping. "May Day" has its origins in workers demonstrations in the 19th Century. Initially called International Workers Day in 1890, the event called for worldwide demonstrations in the memory of workers killed in an 1886 protest in Chicago. According to Fox Digital:... Unlike in decades past, the Democratic Party is increasingly associating itself with radical elements organizing through Indivisible, MoveOn.org, the American Federation of Teachers, and 13 state and local chapters of the Democratic National Committee as well as the California Democratic Party, Fox reported. ... One Democrat said the Democratic Party involvement in May Day with the radical groups comes at their own peril. "The increasing willingness of mainstream Democrats to align with extremist socialist groups is a major factor in why the Democratic Party is losing the center more and more, and why so many lifelong Democrats find themselves feeling politically homeless," Democratic strategist Melissa DeRosa told Fox News Digital.
At the center of the May Day mobilization, which has expanded from earlier indications, is a network of communist, socialist, Marxist, and other far-left organizations, led by chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America and a network of groups -- including the People's Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition and Code Pink -- funded by an American-born tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, based in Shanghai, promoting the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party.

For years we’ve called anyone even slightly left of center a socialist. Even someone like Clinton, who while a piece of shit in many aspects, was no socialist. The guy got rid of Glass-Steagall for crying out loud, about the most non-socialist thing he could have done short of getting a tattoo of Milton Friedman on his forehead.
Calling everyone a socialist was like the left calling everyone on the right a racist. The world lost any meaning. People hear socialism and they go yeah whatever, it just means Democrat. But at the same time true socialists have taken over the party. So now we’re accusing actual socialists of being socialists but nobody pays attention because we’ve been doing it for so long.
We cried wolf way too many times.

The public schools are not being sneaky about this, they are explicitly taking the children given to them by the parents and directly using them as props.
Is there anyone left that doesn't understand we can't go on like this as a nation? There is nothing the left will not weaponize to win. I am f'ing tired of any r politician that does not understand we are deep into a fight to the death and if they aren't actively fighting the left they are obviously stalling as a part of enemy action.

It took the Nazi party from its' formation in 1920 until 1940 to start putting Jews on box cars to Poland. That's 7 years after the Reichstag fire (which the communist black shirts very likely did start, btw).

For years we’ve called anyone even slightly left of center a socialist. Even someone like Clinton, who while a piece of shit in many aspects, was no socialist. The guy got rid of Glass-Steagall for crying out loud, about the most non-socialist thing he could have done short of getting a tattoo of Milton Friedman on his forehead.
Calling everyone a socialist was like the left calling everyone on the right a racist. The world lost any meaning. People hear socialism and they go yeah whatever, it just means Democrat. But at the same time true socialists have taken over the party. So now we’re accusing actual socialists of being socialists but nobody pays attention because we’ve been doing it for so long.
We cried wolf way too many times.

Forgotten by too many was Clinton’s desire to seize and nationalize 1/7 of the U.S. economy by taking over the medical sector. (I still have no idea what “health care” is. Especially considering I have no health for which to care.). If that isn’t Socialism I don’t know what is.

Fascism was the attempt to reconcile the demands of the industrialists who were essential to the wealth of the nation, with the anarcho-syndicalists who were coming into control of the workers the industrialists needed for production. In regulating both, the state was put in a position to arbitrate, and of course take their cut in power and riches.
Generally Fascist states are not so much good at property rights as they are in league with the large property owners. In Italy, think a balance between the Roman Republic, Medieval bankers, and Renaissance labor guilds.
Any one of the three areas given the power would destroy the economy, only working in balance could they prosper. As it was, though, the Fascist system protected each area to the point that no real advance could be made within the system since there was no real competition or innovation allowed.

So why were fascists good with private property?
Posted by: Cow Demon at May 01, 2026 01:25 PM (E6xSb)
---
Because they realized that "ownership" was only a marker of control.
They controlled everything they wanted to control. While not necessarily getting the government involved in running a business.
Fascism, in Gentile's original model is about social progression, and the state as the vehicle of social change. Ironically, it's built on a "cooperative" model. You contribute to the State, the State keeps you around.
There were non-Jews that lost their entire company, because they weren't that useful to the Nazis. T
A couple of days ago I posted the description that one of the things about fascism is that the State decides everything that the State decides it should decide.
You can understand Marx and Engels in such a way to know that the fascist state--the state with absolute authority to pursue its vision, is exactly what you get in the stage before Communism. The "Dictatorship (In the Name) of the Proletariat" *is* functionally equal to a fascist government, but they're trying to beat you into shape to live on a commune.

2) The right doesn't bother to explain the non-immediate bad effects of leftwing policies, for example when Biden doubled the budget LIVs didn't care. When we got Bidenflation they did care, but few explained how they were related
3) The right lets FedGov loot the productive class to pay the leftist classes - both the FSA and the NGO/Bureaucracy class

They were only nominally okay with private property. Although the title remained in individual hands, the government exercised full control over its use (and value). This is why fascism is the bureaucratic sweet spot. All of the real control, but none of the blame when something goes wrong as the putative owner will always be the obvious fallguy.

Let me emphasize one word in that: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
What most people don't realize that what the average person thinks is "communism" s actually socialism.
Socialism is not just some watered down compromise between capitalism and communism.
Socialism is extreme leftwing totalitarianism.
USSR? Socialist. Cuba? Socialist. North Vietnam? Socialist. East Germany? Socialist. Etc, etc.
All of these were/are totalitarian police states.
So when someone says they are "merely" socialist, be very afraid.
(True communism is so extreme mot people can't even visualize it: No private property, no nuclear family, no private living quarters, no individuality, etc.)

Mussolini became a more practical socialist. He edited the most prestigious socialist periodical in Italy for a decade or two.
Which is why the practical model of fascism can fit both a state where people have a grant of private property, as long as they cooperate with the State and a state like Engels' "Dictatorship (In the Name) of the Proletariat", whose direction is away from private property, so in order to adjust everybody, citizens have as little private property as the State can manage.
The key to fascism is Mussolini's summation: (EISNOSNAS) Everything IN the State, Nothing OUTSIDE of the State, Nothing AGAINST the State.
It's a cooperative model--even "compelling cooperation", thus somebody cooperating with the State's lead IS functionally a part of the State.

Does anyone think if every white person gave every last cent to every black person and then became their personal slaves for 30 years each, that the Left would be satisfied? During it and even at the end, would they say "great - this is even now we are no longer "offended" by your white privilege."

That was illustrated in the end of Schindler's list. Had he the ring, had he declined his car, had he resigned from the Nazi party.... he likely wouldn't have kept the factory.
Because the Nazi party didn't have a value of profitability, but how well the factory served the State. So, it wouldn't have mattered how well he could have thrived "on his own".
Your entire enterprise was assignable to some Nazi crony, just based on the idea that Party would rather he have it, and they have decided they don't like you so much.
It's one of the things that weakened the Nazi economy and the war effort.
The idea that Nazi ideologues were "okay with private property" is laughable and just barely true.

WWII started as an intenecine struggle on the far left -- a conflict between two ideologies:
International Socialsm (the USSR) vs. National Socialism (Germany).
The USSR was a coalition of 19 nations and 50 different ethnicities all embracing socialism as a group, with the goal of slowly expanding outward to ultimately encompass the whole world. That's international socialism.
Germany's brand of socialism was more inward-0directed and self-centered: Socialism is just for us, our nation, our ethnic group. And we'll kill anyone who gets in our way.
Germany wanted to "liberate" "Aryans" living in Poland, Chechoslovakia, eastern Europe, etc., so boom, the conflict with the USSR was inevitable.
But the difference between to two forms of socialism now seems, in retrospect, pretty trivial.
If instead germany and the USSR has banded together to bring socialism to the world, and to work out their differences later, they might have succeeded. Chilling thought..

Germany and Italy were originally rivals - Mussolini was willing to oppose Hitler moving into Austria for example, but after trying to deal with Britain/France he decided Hitler was the strong horse...
And in several cases, traditionalist leaders like Franco in Spain and Horthy in Hungary ended up allied with Germany not through an ideological agreement, but because the alternative was communism.
Spain is especially interesting - compare the RCC in Franco's Spain with Nationalist Socialist Germany's relations with Archbishop Galen and the Pope (specifically Germany considered assassinating/executing both of them for their Catholic stances)

There aren't many people living on communes in China. I have no idea if China is preparing people for that.
I don't think there are supposed to be any slaves in a "socialism", outside of the new form serfs it creates.
How eager do you think China is for the "state to wither" (again Engels is pretty weaselly on what constitutes the "dissolution of the State", and it could be whenever a State deems itself as having accomplished its Marxist ends). The withering away of the State is the main thing that state-centrist fascists rejected from Marx' theory.
China is a nation. China has a state that's not likely to go away. It is a national socialism, but probably slightly more bent to Marxian Maoism in theme.
China is a fascist empire.

Right. He started being more influenced by Giovanni Gentile's writing. And he gradually split with Italian Marxists over the stability of the State.
To Gentile, you can't really get much done that benefits “everybody” without the State leading it.
Thus the development of fascism was really a rejection of the "withering away of the state" which was “necessary” in Marx's theory.
BTW, there are plenty of people who get this wrong. Marxism, Fascism, those are ideologies. Conservatives are often not subordinating the theory or idea to empirically judged "successes".
It's one of the reasons why 20th-century progressives have viewed "conservatism" as inherently "anti-intellectual".

Same school district that paid out $72 million in bonuses and “lost” another $46 million in county funds. No one can say for sure where the $46 million went. They raised the proficiency scores to 68% by including private schools in the data.
Public school cult is a cancer on the country.

This is what gets me. Who says the Dems should panic because of the extremist takeover? The vast majority of people are simply brand-faithful and barely skim the news; when they do, it's another diabetic Mexican grandma being ripped from her family and transported back to Dirt Village on a ... boxcar, probably. Or some earnest "transwoman" who just wants dignity.
I don't think Dems have a thing to worry about when it comes to the party itself.

The best example of this was the American League for Peace and Democracy, which was Stalin's agit-prop operation in the 30s. Advocated for American involvement in Europe until August 15, 1939, then was isolationist until June 22, 1941. Very confusing times for American Communists.

It doesn't have to be based on race. But it does seem that tribal politics are allowed to fester more.
The fact that not a single Marxist revolution has resulted in that leader throwing their lot in with established Marxian-themed nation, demonstrates the value of the State.
A strength that Mussolini predicted.
You can see that early 20th-century "sophisticated society" was just more eugenic-minded. Since nobody has dubbed their form of government "fascist" or "national socialist" since then, means that most self-claimed fascist states will exist when sophisticates were very eugenically-minded.
However, I argue that Europe is filled with multi-party national socialist states. Who are moving toward the point where the government decides everything it decides it needs to decide.

And its funny. Anyone that has studied politics will quickly identify that people use political power for self advancement.
So the only safe way to have political power in your society is to minimize it, divide it up into different spheres, and make it as a local as possible. Yes this is exactly what the US founders did.
But the left always pops up with a "but then we can't do all the great things we need to do!" which in turn is answered by "if you can't get them to do it voluntarily it shouldn't be done"

German N.S wasn't based on race but German culture and whatever made up crap history they could construct. Their designated enemy wasn't a race, but a religious group, the Jews that the decided to call a race.

True, but it's how they turned it. In the discussion of Marxism, to be concerned about economy and self interest was to be "anti-intellectual" because you were rejecting "academic ideas" for material concerns.
So, it's a sieve for how "academics" and "intellectuals" and people who pursued those descriptions became mostly ideologues. Who's main claim to fame is grousing because the distribution of property is not "perfect".

Trump's Push for Election Integrity Uncovers 34,000 Dead Voters on North Carolina's Rolls
I'd like to know how often the dead have cast votes in North Carolina.
Note these states continually refuse to take the most basic steps to clean their voter rolls -- until forced by lawsuit or federal action. Why is that?Government working at typical levels of government efficiency.
The North Carolina State Board of Elections identified approximately 34,000 dead people on the state's voter rolls following a comprehensive data comparison with a federal database. Earlier this month, the NCSBE submitted over 7.3 million voter records to the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database as part of an initiative to strengthen the accuracy and integrity of the state's voter registration list. The NCSBE clarified that the identification of deceased individuals on the state's voter rolls does not necessarily indicate illegal votes were cast. "While we expected to find some cases, this is higher than we anticipated," Sam Hayes, the executive director of the State Board of Elections, said in a press release.
The discovery came amid the agency's ongoing effort to verify the citizenship status of voters, which the NCSBE voted along party lines earlier this month to do after facing lawsuits from the Trump administration for allegedly failing to maintain an accurate voter list. The NCSBE said it will work with county boards of elections to remove the names from the voter rolls. Federal law requires states to remove from their voter rolls people who are ineligible for reasons such as being deceased and North Carolina already has a process of biennial list maintenance to remove ineligible voters from its roles, according to Dr. Andy Jackson, director of the Civitas Center for Public Integrity at the John Locke Foundation, who indicated that the state removed 500,000 ineligible voters through this program in 2025. However, as Jackson points out for deceased voters, it can take eight to 10 years for their names to be removed.
... The Trump administration has also launched a nationwide push to obtain full statewide voter-registration lists and list-maintenance records, suing those states failing to comply. The Justice Department has sued at least 30 states and the District of Columbia to try to force the release of the data, according to the Associated Press.I can't help noticing that the thing the media assures me can never happen -- at least when a Democrat wins -- seems to be deliberately engineered to happen. Hello! Happy Friday!
President Donald Trump standing in the Oval Office at the White House The Republican National Committee's official election integrity account on X said that the findings in North Carolina "is EXACTLY" why the Trump administration is forcing states to clean up their voter rolls. "Turns out checking state voter rolls against federal records actually helps keep them more accurate. Who knew?" quipped Frank LaRose, Ohio secretary of state and candidate for Ohio auditor of state.

He's been dead for a while now.
I assume if I return that form I get a ballot with no traceable way to tell it was illegally cast.
And remember the government KNOWS who died and so anyone with access to that database can then send a ballot application to wherever they want. Oh a completely not related note, you notice that whenever someone deep dives on registered voters they always find thousands of voters with addresses matching abandonded buildings?

I'm sure there are reasons unbeknownst to me, but why can't whatever state gov't office is responsible for recent death certificate issuances be cross-referenced with voter record databases and automatically deleted? I get it. Not everybody dies in their home state, but surely it would catch a lot of people whose names could be removed immediately.

Not quite true, bad registration rolls are imperative for cheat by mail states. What the Dems do is monitor who votes and who hasn't by getting direct feeds for their voter groups and they inject ballots after the polls have closed using those fraudulent voter ids. That is why they want counting to last for days or weeks after the election.
In election tabulation systems, one can pull a voter from the inactive files, activate them, and then cast a ballot in their name and then inactivate them.
It is a new spin on floaters vote cheating. In that system, you have urban Dem machines move paid bums from precinct to precinct to vote again. The Dems use the vast padded election rolls to do the same thing, cast votes in their names. Non existent voters don't protest fraud.

Because Republicans are rules-based thinkers for the most part and Democrats are Utopian ends justify the means thinkers for the most part, this benefits the Dems by huge margins.

Urban areas are where lawbreaking in general is endemic.
And that particularly includes government and vote counting. So it is easy enough to hire criminals to do the dirty deeds while the elected officials keep their hands clean by plausible deniability.
City (and rural too back then) political machines caused the movement to voter registration and regularization of voting rules around 1900 give or take a decade in most places. And that was because the older system was largely contests between cheaters in the GOP and the Democrat party dueling over who could cheat more.
With computers and a corrupted voter file, we need a new movement to reduce cheating to a minimum including stiff prison sentences for fraudsters.

Every state in the Union requires certification of death be sent to the Departments of Vital Statistics (same with births nowadays). Because states sucked at their job intentionally, Soc Security and retirement programs required direct notification from funeral home directors immediately upon death. But not surprisingly some funeral home directors themselves are not the most scrupulous about notifying the government of deaths and proper reporting.

It doesn't just stop with someone picking up that identity and voting illegally. When an elderly individual dies, they target the address itself. Then, they have multiple people use that specific address as their resident address. They are able to do this by listing an "apartment #" at that address so it doesn't set off any red flags.
You could end up with multiple registrations at the same address with no one actually living there. They will use the same name as another individual, but change the birthday by one of two days (again to avoid red flags popping up).

Too many Democrats (not a majority of them if polls on SAVE act are reliable) look at cheating as justified on the basis of race, gimmedats, or other nasty notions. And that goes double for their elected officials that are all too aware that their positions depend on continued cheating.
But, cheating risks creating a civil war over voting irregularities especially when one party is identified with most if not all of the cheating. It destroys the system and violates the social compact. Dems wanting nothing but power and wealth taken from others don't care. The rest of us do except for the lazy assholes in the GOP Senate (and in state governments run by GOP that allow urban Dem cheating to go unchecked).

NH has no sales tax, no income tax. Funding for county, municipality and schools is primarily generated from property taxes. Where things get interesting is the property tax assessment on a $500k home can be as low as $1300 in one town to almost $19k in another town. My town rate is right around $20/thousand.

I'd believe it. The notion that a bunch of R voters turn out to re-elect GOPers again and again in primary elections seems absurd.
Yes I know moderate R types. They don't vote in primaries and then complain they wish there were "moderate" candidates to vote for while voting for whoever won the R primary.
But the people I know that vote in R primaries are very similar to me politically.
Yes, this could be a Pauline Kael thing but does anyone know a large group of GOPe positive voters going to the polls for the primary elections?

The associate press is lying of course. A better way to phrase this is
"Under Federal law the states are required to maintain accurate voter rolls, and to provide those rolls to the federal government. 30 states have not, and several, refuse, to comply with the law. Hence the federal government has been forced to sue the 30 states to enforce compliance."
It's not a nationwide "push" It is the law. They have not followed the law. Many have said they won't follow the law and refuse to comply. This is a law that says maintain your voter rolls and provide a copy to the federal government.

Loss of incumbancy in safe GOP seats don't matter because of the PVI of the districts on its own.
What matters in House races ends up being national conditions and turnout differentials. Democrats were always going to be advantaged in 2018, but the GOP actively made it worse by making the national environment as bad for the GOP as possible by doing two things: Calling their own standard bearer a traitor and not doing what the Republicans wanted regarding policy.
Arguably, the former is much worse than the latter for turnout.
But, it all bit the GOPe in the end. They lost loyalists in Congress. That's all they accomplished.

‘F around and find out’ is still the Democrats’ position on redistricting and is even more so our position after the SCOTUS ruling.
Hakeem Jeffries is talking about a scenario when Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, and New York are totally blue. We could get 52 seats in California. Democrats support a national gerrymandering ban. Republicans would be wise to support it before this gets even uglier.

There is a quote something like, 'It's not about the vote count, but about who is doing the vote count.'
The Dominion counting machines had a back door to change the result. That is a known fact. The voting precinct administrators claimed a plumbing issue to block public viewing of voting count. That is a known fact. Ramming through boxes of faux votes in the counting machines is a known fact. Now we have NY Mayor Mamdani being elected because Republicans didn't vote. Was it possible that those who counted the votes threw out mail ballots from conservative districts? The media has never addressed the possibility!

THE MORNING RANT: Delta Airlines Is Backpedaling from Obedience to the Climate Religion’s Commandments
Delta Air Lines Inc. quietly scrubbed a pair of key environmental targets from its sustainability web page late last week. The Atlanta-based carrier deleted its pledge to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for 10% of its jet fuel by 2030. It also rephrased its quest to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 as an “aspiration,” rather than a “goal.”Delta had promised to be using 10% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2030. SAF is made from used cooking oil and other non-petroleum sources. Delta’s SAF use has maxed out at 0.5%, or just 1/20th of what it had promised. There just aren’t enough “sustainable” sources of raw materials to make the SAF. Maybe people need to start eating more french fries and chicken fried steaks. A Delta spokesman is quoted as saying ”While we have successfully increased use of SAF every year, we recognize that the technology has not advanced as rapidly as the industry requires.” In other words, promises were made based on technology that did not even exist at the time. The clean energy pledges were made with the hope that technologies would “advance rapidly.” The airlines might as well have been making promises based on energy produced by perpetual motion machines. It would be no less speculative. It is a tremendous disgrace to corporate respectability that executives of publicly-traded companies – people making tens of millions of dollars per year – are making childish promises that they cannot fulfill. And I’m not sure which is worse, the public dishonesty of those executives who know they’re lying about their goals, or the maleducated executives who believe the green energy hype. Perhaps their egos allow them to believe that if they command it, it will happen. The goal of being “net zero” in 24 years is just as dishonestly ludicrous. Changing this from a “goal” to an “aspiration” is just another weaselly way of stating that pledges are being made that won’t ever be fulfilled, but the executives aren’t honest enough to admit it. It’s way past time for corporations to stop serving as mouthpieces for the left’s political agenda. Until then, corporations in service to the left don’t deserve our principled defense when the communist snakes those corporations have been coddling choose to bite them.

Fuel refinery Delta bought is expected to save airline $300M this quarter as jet fuel prices jump 105%
Updated on: April 21, 2026
In part, "The Atlanta-based airline owns a refinery in Pennsylvania that is helping it cut fuel costs while rivals face jet fuel price increases as high as 105%, according to Clint Henderson, managing editor of The Points Guy.
"When Delta bought that refinery, there was a lot of head scratching, but now they look like geniuses," Henderson said."
2025 - The Philadelphia-based Clean Air Council, California-based Communities for a Better Environment and the Natural Resources Defense Council sued the federal government earlier this month, urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to put new regulations in place to keep communities safer from dangerous hydrogen fluoride.
They never f**king stop their well-funded racket. They want everything shutdown short of their many non-profits so we can grow pot, run casinos and have sport stadiums.

It is amazing how much business they do (based on lines.) They must turn a tidy profit. Customers obviously want it.
I just do not understand it. If I get on a coffee kick (which happens every few years) I just make it at home. Drink too much and then back down to some other form of caffeination.

I liked the Subaru dogs commercials. Also Hanna from Arco. Also the battery company with an old abandoned '50's car in the woods with the radio still playing (implausible and possibly illegal false advertising). And back in the 80's one of the west coast airlines had Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner as passengers on an aircraft....
So many great entertaining commercials. Remember the Bud Lite frogs ?

Is this a re-purposed barbecue advertising campaign? Who equates “slow and steady” as being a way to sell a flash-fried pastry?'
I don't think you can take it so literally. I think it just means, "don't expect fast service, I'm busy making a dick and balls out of an eclair and two munchkins, I'll be with you when I'm done drawing on the pubic hair with this frosting."

‘The stuff of nightmares’: Philly nonprofit sues EPA over deadly chemical used at refineries
Three nonprofits hope to force the federal government to regulate hydrogen fluoride more strictly. The chemical is still used at a Delaware County refinery.
In part, "Hydrogen fluoride is used as a catalyst in the blending process to make cleaner-burning high-octane gasoline at roughly 40 refineries across the country, according to the lawsuit. It’s also used to manufacture refrigerants, herbicides and pharmaceuticals."

There is no public, systematic data from Spirit Airlines or aviation regulatory bodies that confirms a higher-than-normal incidence of Black passengers compared to other carriers.However, analysis of Spirit Airlines' customer profile suggests it serves a diverse, price-sensitive market that could differ from legacy carriers due to several factors:Target Market Focus: Spirit targets price-onsconscious leisure travelers, families, and Visiting Friends & Relatives (VFR) travelers, which often includes a high volume of passengers from diverse urban areas and, in particular, the U.S.–Latin America/Caribbean corridors.

If I am running late, I will grab a café misto with soy on the way in to work, or a dry cappuccino. I can order it on the app, run through the drive through at 530a and it’s ready for me. They actually get the dry cappuccino right, so they definitely train their baristas. We also have 2 local coffee places here I love, they just aren’t open as early as SB or I would go to them. I can walk to one and they make really interesting coffee, flavors you would not think work but they do. Right now they have one with beetroot and cardamon, sweetened with maple syrup they make in house and it is so good.

They can trick someone in a hurry into subconsciously picturing the face behind the counter personally decorating all the doughnuts with loving care.
>> When doughnuts were made fresh in-store, I recall them being much better than the doughnuts now made at a central commissary and shipped in.
Well, there you go. That would be incompatible with the subconscious picture, so it could maybe even make someone briefly forget what he knows.

I do agree when it comes to the EPA.
Locally, it remains a problem. Unfortunately, if not a win on their levels, they stir up & fund (including helping members get political seats) the local environmental justice groups in Philly and Delco who are not beyond greatly exaggerating - if not outright lying - about their causes.
While what follows is related to Waste Management, you'll get the point they publicly go beyond our Federal government's laws.
"The Plan is explicitly guided by the internationally peer-reviewed definition of Zero Waste and the Zero Waste Hierarchy — a set of waste management priorities that we developed which are now used as an international standard through the Zero Waste International Alliance. In contrast with EPA’s waste management hierarchy, which places incineration above landfilling, the Zero Waste Hierarchy recognizes that incineration is worse and is considered “unacceptable” in a Zero Waste system."
And that is the way of the state and local county Democratic councils.

If the guy has been in this part of the state for 17-18 years and IF he is still alive, he would be turning 60 y/o soon. He is at best a sociopath, and probably does not have any reliable assistance or support. He likely killed Jack in a psychotic blackout rage and is well known to be confrontational over trivial incidents. Living rough and 'off the land' and alone for a few days, sure, for a few months, maybe, but for 18 years? Not very damn likely. This is a part oof the state where if you walk up the wrong driveway you could be looking down the barrel of a shotgun or hunting rifle. and wind up in a shallow grave. So I think the likelihood is that the CBI is now looking for TWO sets of remains, Jack's and his killer, rather than huntig a fugitive. I say "Good"

I missed Dunkin when I moved to California. Foster's and Winchell's, which the locals raved about, never came close. When Krispy Kreme hit the area, they were an immediate success, mostly due to the ability to get a still-warm half dozen to pair with a morning pot of coffee.
The transfat panic of 2006 was the first nail in the coffin. I remember the virtually overnight banning of transfats by New York City's Board of Health toward the end of that year. Visiting family in NJ in 2008, I looked forward to my first Bavarian cream donut in many a year. Couldn't get that particular donut in California for some reason. Think Boston Cream, but powdered sugar instead of the chocolate glaze. The former was commonplace, but the powdered sugar variant was hard to find.
Anyway, I recall approaching the DD counter at Newark airport, ordering an original DD (the standard fried round donut with a thumb-shaped appendage on one side, IYKYK), and a Bavarian cream. (1/2)

The Bavarian had the texture of a hamburger bun. Dry and tasteless to the point where no amount of sugar or filling could redeem it. The DD might not have been fried, but rather baked. Whatever the case, it lacked the crisp exterior that was the whole point of that donut. It wasn't as bad as the Bavarian, but it just wasn't...special anymore.
Fast-forward to the present, and I guess they found a suitable fat substitute. The good news is that Dunkin finally opened in California. The bad news is California's regulations convinced them to bake most of their donuts in large facilities in Arizona, freeze them, then truck them overnight to the CA stores.
So you don't get a fresh Dunkin Donut in California. Also, I'm convinced they're smaller than what you'd normally get elsewhere. Fortunately, here in Florida, good donuts can be had in every neighborhood. I even found an honest-to-God Italian bakery a short drive from my front door. Blessed, I am.
That said, I should drop in on the local Dunkin just to compare it with the California offering one of these days. For research purposes, you understand...

After Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix I will leave the cultural impact of AI for another discussion, but the first attempt to create a "Dogs On Velvet" image was met with resistance from Grok, because the depictions of violence in Delacroix's famous painting were apparently off limits to AI's gentle sensibilities. I had to move to ChatGPT for this version. Which, I have to admit, isn't bad!

I guess they have to, as many of them are "creatives" that make their livelihood with art, that machines are now able to increasingly replicate easily. It's like buggy-whip manufacturers fighting the automobile, though, as it's a losing cause. Only the really excellent, unique artists will survive (and maybe live music), and others will evolve into experts at using AI as a new tool to create art.
The most interesting part is, the Lefties aren't worried about the greatest risk- AI threatening human life. Just taking over their space, and possibly giving evil troglodyte conservatives access to effective, efficient media creation. They don't like losing their gatekeeper status.

So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I lucky was to be employed
Working for a while on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind
And I just grew

It’s crazy reading places like Reddit and realizing how little people know about the world around them.
The narrative is that it’s so low only because benefits ran out for people. These imbeciles don’t understand that number is for NEW claims. They think only 190k people are on unemployment in total. The real number is in the millions. Which doubly makes them retards. If we were to ever be in a situation where only 190k people were on unemployment it would be the greatest economy in the history of economies.
These people vote. Scary.

It’s crazy reading places like Reddit and realizing how little people know about the world around them.
Low national unemployment is irrelevant to people facing high local unemployment while, simultaneously, being unwilling to go where the jobs are. I imagine that reddit and the like are filled with folks in places like Cali where poor workers are struggling to make ends meet as they lose their $75/hr (exaggerated for effect) barista jobs because Republicans are greedy.

Baseball. 9s are wild, 3s in the hole are wild.
Variations --
If a 4 is dealt to you face up, you can buy an extra card for whatever the last bet was.
Strikeout - if you are dealt a 3 face-up, you must fold.
Rainout - if the Queen of Spades is dealt face-up, the round re-starts and the pot carries over.
Split-pot games can be fun too.
Low Chicago - lowest spade in the hole takes half the pot.
Low Louisiana (heart in stead of spade).
Who's got others??

Agreed.
The wifey just came up with an idea for a Weird Al parody earlier in the week. I yelled "Trash night!"
And she said "Weird Al should do a parody of that old funky Parliament song 'Flash Light' called 'Trash Night.'"
I said "That's a great idea -- you should send it to him!"
She tried to find him on x.com, but his account hasn't been active since promoting his movie in '23 (God, please tell me he didn't quit and switch over to Bluesky ...).

My kiddos love his show Story Bots.
He basically built a tv show where kids ask questions to these robots who then go on quests to learn the answer. How does a toilet work, what were the dinosaurs, how does sound work, et al.
He must have written hundreds of little songs to help the move the story along, and it's perfect for kids. No political crap, no gender crap, just answering normal kid questions. It's brilliant.

Saturday coffee thread. Not much oof an update. The main bit was that the detectives now have credible information leading them to believe that the murderer did NOT go to TX to be near his mother, but instead remained in CO and was living 'rough' either in the back country or squatting in various remote vacant cabins or abandoned mine shafts or who-knows-where fr the last 17 years. If he is still alive, that is. He fancied himself a mountain man. It seems he alienated his mother by threatening to kill her and her husband and any cops who came looking for him. Oddly enough that sort f end would be a better prison sentence than the judicial system would have given.

War Powers: 60 Days
There's common agreement that today: Friday, May 1st, constitutes the 60-day mark on Operation Epic Fury. But President Trump and his administration are trying to sidestep the 1973 law which requires a president to withdraw troops within 60 days of notifying Congress of their deployment unless lawmakers formally authorize the military action as a declaration of war. Of course, thus far there's been no Congressional authorization, amid some six failed attempts to push through War Powers resolutions.
The administration is now arguing that the extended ceasefire itself, reached three weeks ago and then recently unilaterally extended by Trump, buys more time and allows the White House to avoid Congressional approval. Admin officials argue the absence in exchanges of fire between Iranian and US forces means the 60-day timeline doesn't apply.
"For War Powers Resolution purposes, the hostilities that began on Saturday, February 28, have terminated," a Trump official has been cited broadly in US media as saying. The same perspective had first been put forward by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth

Not according to the same leftists who don't like to talk about land they claim was stolen from the indians. According to them the land was acquired by large scale massacres of simple folk who just like to commune with nature and smoke peace pipes.

As a young prosecutor who needed to make his bones, Comey put Martha in jail for deleting and then undeleting a text message. Also, for lying to the FBI agents who showed up at her door unnanounced (that's if you believe that their later-filed report was truthful and accurate.)
That's all Comey had. He knew Martha never inside-traded and so he didn't include inside-trading charges, just charges for obstructing an investigation into crimes that Martha didn't commit.

Instead of standing up for the people who voted for her, former Vice President Kamala Harris has been absent from a conversation that Democrats should be easily winning.
I think that’s literally everyone’s opinion. We voted for her because she was the better option of the two, but by no means was the “best” option overall.
Anyone who thinks they can win should run. But I want a real, competitive primary. No "turns" or coronations, 4+ candidates duking it out. We have the right to choose the candidate.
Do we though? The DNC has shown in the past that they will hand pick their candidates. And before I get flack from anyone, I'm as liberal as liberals can be.
She is a very talented and competent person. No doubt about that for sure. But she did run in the primary in 2019 and Bernie and JoeB were the front runners. She had her chance in 2019 and didn't convert it to a nomination.

Brian K. Kapileo Nepaial, 38, of Aloha, faces up to 45 years in federal prison and a $5,250,000 fine.
The laser attack came in response to the Trump admin’s crackdown on anti-ICE rioters in Portland last year, which included the deployment of helicopters to deter criminal behavior.

I have a fabric on wood frame canoe that is totally silent except for water droplets dripping off the double bladed paddle. I once approached a little island on the local reservoir. Suddenly, over the crest of the tiny ridge, I saw a young couple suddenly assuming a bent-over standing position like they were quickly re-acquiring certain clothing items.

Well, look at this and go down to the polling of the general election from 2020.

How many polls did Susan Collins lead in the lead up to the election?
Hell, what were the final polls, the ones supposed to be the most accurate, saying?
What was the actual result?
Do you think polling has gotten better or worse in the last six years?

That’s exactly what just happened in the primary race between Talerico and Jasmine Crockett. Over 90% of the black voters in that race voted for her, but white liberals voted against and got a narrow majority.
But she’ll get the last bitter laugh, because none of her voters will show up and vote for Talerico in the fall. They won’t vote for Paxton either, they’ll just drop out and stay home.

Well, not none. But there will be a dropoff in black turnout in the Texas senate race.
It's the pattern we can see when the black voting block has a particular candidate they rally behind in a primary and then that candidate loses the primary. The black electorate just...loses between 5-10% of turnout.
Can you imagine how the 2028 Democrat primary is going to shape up with Talarico having lost to Paxton while the black caucus gets to hype the hypothetical that Crockett totally would have won? And they can point to the depressed black turnout as a reason?

Sarah Trone Garriott is a female Lutheran pastor (shocker) who is running for Congress in Iowa as a Democrat. Twenty years ago, she actually conducted a wedding ceremony between two satanists, including a groom with a pentagram face tattoo, at her church.
In a Fox News report about the 2023 video, which has recently gone viral, Trone Garriott told more of the story. . .
"He asked me to pick the Scriptures," Trone Garriott said on stage in 2023, referring to the senior pastor. "Irritated, I flipped through the Bible. Should I pick something with Satan in it to make them feel more at home?"
"Eventually, I just put the bookmark in at 1 Corinthians 13," she continued. "If you have ever been to a Christian wedding, you’ve probably heard this Scripture. All they would get from me was [a] basic Lutheran wedding."

New - the Trump administration says the U.S.-Iran ceasefire that began April 7 has effectively “terminated” military action for War Powers Resolution purposes, per senior admin official.
That means in their view, 60-day clock for Congress to weigh in does not apply:
-------
I just have to bring this up because it's what I said would happen. People worried that Trump would have to go and ask for permission to strike Iran again from Congress were wrong.
Hell, Obama's Libya campaign, which he never got permission from Congress for and lasted well more than 60 days (about nine months), never even had a reset. There was a lawsuit from Congress, though. It got tossed. Why? Well, Congress has power of the purse.

That's part of the problem, but the bigger problem is sample size and randomness.
It's expensive. You have to contact thousands of people to get hundreds of responses, and once you're in the hundreds, well, weighting tends to come in.
A truly random sample gathered from a few hundred people is hard, especially if there are behavioral differences regarding polling across different partisan demos (which there are). So...they weight the data and then run the stats. If the weighting is correct, well, then you can get a decent result. But then...you might as well just throw up PVI and choose a couple of random numbers within 3 of each major point.

That race is a fascinating demonstration as to how, not just in Texas but across the country, the ultra radical online left is taking over the Dem Party. The Daily Kos/DU/Reddit posters used to be the fringe (let’s say before 2020) now they’re mainstream Democrat thought.
Back in those old days, every Dem politician knew that their only chance in a tight election was heavy black voter turnout, and black community leaders responded by working hard to get their people to vote. And now the radical left is so cocksure of themselves that they don’t think they need that kind of engagement anymore.
But they don’t really care about winning, all they care about now is looking tough online. A lot of them will be happier losing, because then they’ll have some perceived grievance to whine about online for years to come.

It’s pretty obvious what Democrats want to do to the opposition, and they will brook no process, law, rule, principle, election or norm to get there.
They don’t want to govern, they want to rule. They’ve shown you during COVID how they will weaponize the government to steal your rights. They used the Russian Hoax and all auspices of the government to attempt a soft coup. They undermined the election system (and still are) to trying and subvert the people’s will.
This isn’t hyperbole. It’s demonstrably true in every instance. Their own words betray them.

Today, CMS notified Governor Walz and the state of Minnesota that we are deferring an additional $91 million in federal Medicaid funding.
This follows a pattern we can’t ignore. From the “Learing Center” scandal to the recent DOJ action involving childcare centers, Minnesota’s Medicaid program has shown serious vulnerabilities to fraud. These are not isolated breakdowns—they point to systemic issues that must be addressed.
Here’s the reality: the federal government funds roughly half of Medicaid. That gives CMS both the authority and the responsibility to ensure those dollars are spent legally and appropriately. When they’re not, we act. . . .

Terre Haute, eh? I've never been there. You can probably do a lot of the scouting by going online. Google-Map a drive around any areas that look promising. Online realtors have pretty darn good sites for checking out houses. Once you have it narrowed to 1 or 2 possibilities, THEN head up there for the final view. Then most of the legal stuff can be done online again.
Good luck to you!

Texas is VERY Republican now.
Senate races undo turnout differentials in midterms and drive up turnout to presidential levels.
Paxton by at least 9. With Talarico going for MSNBC points instead of appealing to Texas voters, Paxton by 13.
Polling, though, will show Talarico winning until October and then the race will "shift" for some reason.

Mayday originated in 1923 when Frederick Stanley Mockford, a senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, was tasked with creating a distress signal easily understood by international air traffic. Because most flights at the time connected London with Paris, Mockford derived the term from the French phrase "m’aider" (help me), a shortened form of "venez m’aider" (come help me), chosen for its phonetic clarity over radio static.

From the ground level view in Texas, it looks like Cornyn has already given up. Runoff is getting close, and Cornyn is running no campaign, and making no appearances anyone knows about. Maybe he thinks he can do it all in the last week, but talk about too little too late.
And those reading out of state probably don’t know that the most cutting criticism of him from inside Texas wasn’t that he was just an old school RINO (although that’s true); it’s that he long ago forgot about the State and its voters, and instead acted like he was a full time permanent resident of DC only. You don’t fix that by refusing to even show up in what is supposedly his home state.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has faced intense scrutiny over its offshore holdings, which critics say ballooned by as much as 430% between 2013 and 2021, from $44 million in non-U.S. equity to $233 million. By 2024, those holdings had dropped to $130 million, still nearly 200% higher than in 2013. The SPLC’s total assets in 2024 were about $800 million, with non-U.S. equity exceeding domestic holdings every year since 2016.

Ads have surprisingly small effects in the aggregate, and they're mostly a dumping ground for large fundraising reserves (that consultants get a nice percentage off of).
If Cornyn wasn't able to finish off Paxton with at least $65 million in ads leads up to the first vote WITH a spoiler at the same time in the race to suck up extra not-Cornyn votes, then Cornyn's money was wasted except to provide some generational wealth to his consultants.

This video does several things - it proves there was no friendly fire and it proves the agent who 'wasn't watching the door' was in fact watching the door. He glanced over his shoulder to watch someone walk past from a different angle, but wasn't not screwing around, was not being lazy, was not ambivalent or derelict.
It also shows just how quickly Allen was able to get onto the USSS and how quickly the first officer got their weapon out.

– In this Coen Brothers classic, "86" is used in a bowling alley scene to indicate removing someone from the premises, reflecting its common bar and restaurant usage.
Goodfellas (1990) – Martin Scorsese’s mob drama uses "86" in a context implying getting rid of someone, aligning with mafia slang for elimination.
Pulp Fiction (1994) – Quentin Tarantino’s film features a scene where a character is told to "86 the gimp," meaning to remove or deal with a problematic individual, showing the term’s darker connotations in criminal contexts.
Reservoir Dogs (1992) – Another Tarantino film, where "86" is used similarly to indicate getting rid of someone, emphasizing its association with exclusion or elimination.
Casino (1995) – Joe Pesci’s character is "eighty-sixed," reflecting mob slang for execution-style removal, demonstrating the term’s use in organized crime narratives.

The impeachment hearings of Paxton in the Texas House sealed it for me - the Speaker promised that all of the hard evidence of Paxton’s unfitness for office would be revealed, so I paid attention closely at the time.
And I was disgusted that every time they got a witness to testify about some awful thing, they’d be asked “so you saw this personally?”
And the answer was always “no, but my cousins girlfriend told him that’s what happened, and I believe her.”
“So is she here today?”
“No she said she didn’t want to do this kind of thing, but I believe her!”
Every single big complaint they had against him turned into some version of that, which is why the case became a laughingstock.
So his enemies are down to saying that he’s bad because he and his wife broke up and he fell in love with another woman. Big deal.

A shift in signage locally for May Day, from "No Kings" to "Workers Over Billionaires" and events promoting a "Working People's Vision."
>(South Jersey's) Courier Post, 'What's May Day? May 1 protests to support 'workers over billionaires'
(References mayday strong dot org, with its 'This is Our May Day' listing several hundred supporters/participants.)
And includes Instagram messages from maydaystrong and showingupforsocialjustice, text SOLIDARITY to 58910
@ actionlabny.
What's The Action Lab? In brief, it's "Sparking Change.
We bring organizers, artists, and leaders together to learn, to create, and to build a just future." Its site, currently listed: Ossining, NY & in 2026, Ridgewood (Queens).
Influence Watch org: non-profit/action-lab
Also known as Center for Law and Human Values (dba The Action Lab)
Charity Navigator: STRATEGY INNOVATION AND ACTION LAB INC, RIDGEWOOD NY | EIN: 93-1652360. 501(c)(3) organization. This charity has not opted into the donation platform. Donations via the Giving Basket will still reach the charity.

One of its initiatives: The Law and Organizing Academy (LOA), a partnership between The Action Lab and NYU Law’s Initiative for Community Power, trains law students and early-career lawyers in movement-aligned legal strategies. It focuses on integrating law with grassroots organizing for economic, racial, and housing justice. (More)
Another: La Tejedora (Puerto Rico) is fiscally sponsored by The Action Lab.
And this could be another: Action Lab at Columbia University
School of Social Work (Research Centers)
However, there's a number of Action Labs, perhaps separate from The Action Lab, in process around the world including:
>Research in Action Labs (Philadelphia Fed): Focuses on community economic solutions, such as workforce development.

Top Story
- CPanel, a web hosting software suite used by 70 million sites worldwide, had a security hole big enough to drive a Kenworth through without needing to check for clearance. (Bleeping Computer)
And people were reportedly trying to exploit it in February. And succeeding in March.
It was patched last night.
Lots of sysadmins having a bad day right now.
Tech News
- If you're playing the new pirate game Windrose, you might want to stop before your SSD explodes. (Tom's Hardware)
Players have reported that the game writes 30MB of date per second to disk.
Constantly.
Over 100GB per hour.
And SSDs have a finite lifespan under constant write load.
- Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are planning a combined capital expenditure of $725 billion this year. (Tom's Hardware)
Which used to be a lot, but that was long ago and in another country.
- How to get 10Gb Ethernet working at home. (Giles Thomas)
Step One: Decide 2.5Gb is fine.
- Stripe has a new digital wallet for sharing with AI agents and other idiot children. (Tech Crunch)
You are asked to confirm every purchase before anything goes through so they can't run amok and drain your bank account.
- Profits at Samsung's memory division are up 49% over the same period last year. (WCCFTech)
Oh, my mistake. They're up 49 times over the same period last year.
- Don't talk about the goblin war. (Ars Technica)
AI agents are like profoundly autistic children, except that you can switch them off.

"For right now, the total blockade is the least expensive route."
There was a total blockade on the German Empire in WW1 and the impact was felt primarily on the civilian population. That makes sense, actually. Those with weapons will take what is needed from those that don't have weapons.
That's why we cannot allow food convoys to travel to Iran (whatever food that would be in the ships will end up in IRGC hands) nor can we attempt airdropped supplies of food for the same reason. Delivering food via any clandestine pipelines that deliver weapons will expose those pipelines (by the more well fed members of the pipeline or those members of the pipeline that magically have food to give/sell).
I was a soldier back in the day
and view the world in such a way.
Giggity.
Too bad that can't be a haiku.

Samsung is a Chaebol*. SK Hynix is part of the SK Group (another Chaebol.)
I learned about Chaebols when listening to a fellow on YouTube who goes by "Asian Boss" in a video where he was talking about South Korean's obsession with American burgers. There's a chapter about Chaebols and how they work. I'll link to the video cued up to that chapter:
https://youtu.be/WBregydMsqw
Anyway... This whole Chaebol thing strikes me as family run where family is a lot like the mafia. Are they going to shake down the market and price fix like wild every chance they get? Absolutely. The convictions of the big three in past for price fixing pretty much indicates that they'll do it again because it works, and they don't really care if they get caught.
{*} Defined at Merriam Webster as: "a family-controlled industrial conglomerate in South Korea"

Yes, there are rail connections between Pakistan and Iran. But I don’t believe Pakistan has the docking facilities to transfer any oil to ships to be sold internationally, which is what Iran needs,.
Also, 3 million gallons sounds like a lot, until you realize that the average long range tanker carries 15 million to 25 million gallons. (But oil transport is usually mentioned in terms of 42 gallon barrels)

I'd hoped that print would be better than films, but the judges for both are of the same woke mindset, so there's a lot of trash involving "fascism," "systemic racism," "toxic" this or that, and "queer."
And far too many that are boring fucking grinds through someone's stupid life of poverty.
McCarthy's "Blood Meridian" was a grind, but a good one. "The Orphan Master's Son" was, too, but OMG it is cinematic.
I'm wading through "Flesh," the 2025 Man Booker winner, by some Hungarian guy, and it's OK, but when I'm done, if I finish it, I think I'll re-read Moby Dick for the dozenth or so time. I have the Modern Library print of it which is illustrated by Rockwell Kent. Call me Ishmael.

Excellent point; I have been blind to the difference between gallons and barrels. The former is much smaller than the latter.
Since I don't believe the Russians are willing to prioritize Iranian oil above their own, I don't see the Caspian sea as a way for the IRGC to meaningfully export oil.

Kewl new paint job for a Southwest Airlines plane Southwest Airlines unveils 'Independence One' plane in honor of America's 250th anniversary
Sporting red, white, and a deep blue, Southwest Airlines has unveiled a plane with a new paint job in honor of America's 250th anniversary. "Independence One" was introduced on Monday at Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, displaying a massive "1776" across the front cabin windows and "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" toward the back. "It's a symbol of what it means to give America the freedom to fly," said Bob Jordan, the airline's CEO, to a crowd of attendees. "As Southwest celebrates our 55th year, and (as) our nation celebrates 250, we wanted to mark this moment in a way that reflects who we are, where we've been and where we are headed."

----- Speed limit strictly enforced! Wisconsin road adds a decimal point to its speed limit. It’s not a joke
A Wisconsin road has added a decimal point to its speed limit — in the hope that the unusual traffic sign will give drivers’ second thoughts about putting the pedal to the metal. The Outagamie County Recycling and Solid Waste facility in Appleton, 107 miles north of Milwaukee, announced Monday that the speed limit inside the facility would now be 17.3 mph. “You may notice something a little different on your next visit,” the facility wrote in a Facebook post. “Our posted speed limit is now 17.3.” The facility, which provides recycling and landfill disposal services, said it decided on a posted speed limit of 17.3 mph because it makes drivers “pause.” “It makes you look twice. And most importantly, it breaks that ‘autopilot’ feeling we can all fall into when driving familiar routes,” the facility added.I don't know about you, but there is just no way I could keep my speed below 18. ----- What's another way to say a moron is full of shit? How about 29 year old man is constipated
Josh Vintner-Jackson first felt some discomfort in his lower left hip in March 2020. At the time, Vintner-Jackson, who is from the UK, was 29 and worked at a startup in Austin. He balanced his time between work, hanging out with friends, and his active hobbies. He loved running marathons, including one five-day ultramarathon through the desert in Jordan. Over the next four months, he would occasionally feel a pang of discomfort in the area. By the end of May, he had started to become severely constipated, despite eating what he considered a healthy diet. After not pooping for eight days, he went to urgent care in June 2020, where an X-ray revealed a buildup in his colon.Check out the whole thing. And let this serve as a reminder to get your colonoscopy if you are due! ----- This should have been included in Tuesday's ONT, but someone dropped the ball. The Tuesday ONT host must be asshoe.

If you don't have a mortgage, I guess you can self-insure, if the price of a house is a trivial expense. Kinda like us normal folks don't buy the extended warranties on our toasters.
Probably still good to carry whatever the homeowner's equivalent of "liability" is, to prevent bums from suing you when they trip over a crack in the sidewalk, even if you have Elon Musk money.

When I was growing up, we had a female cat who was comfortable both inside and outside the house and was friendly with our dogs. On night I saw her running and jump into the pen with one of our dogs; a second later another cat came running as was about to jump in the pen when he saw the dog. LOL.

It largely comes down to the whether your particular non-observance pisses of a particular cop.
Posted by: Thomas Bender
South Dakota means it. Signs say something like "speed limits strictly enforced." Though their freeways are posted 80mph.
I saw a guy get pulled over, and when he passed me earlier, he was probably only doing 82. I had my cruise set right at 80, and it took him a while to pass me.
That made me consider braking down hills rather than letting my cruise control go..... it doesn't try to slow the car down until it's 3 or 4 over.

on the sticker on the door jamb and assumed that was the model year. It isn't. It's a 2019. Model year begins in the mid-summer of the prior year. That, combined with the fact 2018 parts will not work on a 2019 truck as 2019 is the first year of the 5th generation Rams. I verified this on the Mopar parts website. A 2018 TPMS sensor will not fit (work) on a 2019 truck.
That also explains why when they tried to verify the sensors were working with their machine, they had to set it to '2018' not 2019.
After driving the truck half-way to San Diego and back they system hasn't reset itself. The owner's manual says it should reset after up to 20 minutes of driving above 15 mph.
Further reports as conditions warrant.

GROK did the web search and summary for you.
Any old web search engine (circa 2000) could do as well. You'd just have to read it yourself.
A real answer would be to repeat the query,
Throw in some assumptions, say aircraft model, dry paint density, coating system thickness and run some calcs.
Maybe calc the surface area of the plane using a 3D model x thickness of coating x density = total weight.
Should get it within a few pounds, not some wild ass range from where the high end 'estimate' is more than twice the low end.
If the owner really cared they could weigh the plane when it was stripped to bright aluminum and again after paint completed.

all sensors communicate with the car. They aren't connected to the car of course, because tires do a spinny spinny thing, so they connect wirelessly. Is it by proximity? No that would never work because there are other car tires just feet from your car's tires. So they obviously have unique codes, that are constantly transmitting, well beyond your car because they would have to already go 10,20,30 feet or more depending on the size of the vehicle and tire configuration.
What does that mean? That means every single modern car has a very convenient means of being passively tracked through waypoints by anywhos that happened to want to do that sort of thing.
Interesting, no?

It looks like they stripped the green off right in the beginning, then reprimed it with the yellowish primer. There was a primer I used to use years ago by Sikkens that was that yellowish color. That took some getting used to after using black for a bunch of years.

If it were about safety, every road would have the dual (or more) speed limits like I-80 has. 10mph slower for big rigs.
The idea that a brand new Honda Civic and a fully-loaded cement mixer have the same safe top speed is ludicrous.

Well if California passes the 'bile-onaires' tax you may have a bunch of new neighbors. Someone finally read the fine print and it seems on page 35 or so there's a provision that the legislature can vote to apply it to anybody, not just the super-rich. Funny how this news comes out AFTER it is announced that the issue has enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.

If its a new car its about $1500 and gradually goes down as it gets older. I think it bottoms out at $500 for a piece of shit.

We don't get true sandstorms here in Las Cruces or mesilla. We just get exciting dust storms. Since everything here is stucco, Adobe or brick. They don't have much effect on the houses. On the other hand, that stuff comes right through the cracks in your doors and windows.

Thank you!..? I do actually watch the videos first, to make sure that the songs are as good as I remember (or as good as their radio hits if delving past those), that the A/V quality isn't messed up, that it isn't secretly a censored radio edit, and that there isn't anything weird in the video.
(That last one is pointedly aimed at Hozier's "Take Me To Church." I made the mistake exactly once of linking it (on another site) just based on liking the song, which I thought was a veiled reference to cunnilingus, not knowing that the video is a gay male 'romance'. Guys, we said, don't scare the horses. Ick.)
The revelation of unknown bands also goes both ways, so ICYMI here's a very specific performance that someone here recently linked to and now I'm obsessed with it. I wasn't born yet when these guys went on stage, and they are tight and on point.

I had never looked at the video before. A few seconds was enough, since it is gayer than the Obamas' double-ended dildo.
I guess it could be a "trans anthem" today? But it was written in '14, a year before even the Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner thing came out.

April 1945 in Germany was an exception - pretty likely destroying the center of govt. would be the last act. Though even then hold-out actions by German forces in a Bavarian "alpine redoubt" were feared, and the Flensburg govt. continued after Adolf got rid of Adolf.
Of course CENTCOM knows a lot more detail than I do, but my preference would be for renewed festivities to *force* the Strait open and safe for passage through destruction of Iran's anti-shipping capability. Forcibly removing their last "card" would not only hedge against fuzzy political outcomes or prolonged regime death-throes, but demo our totally dominant military capability.
I think it's quite feasible and know it would materially add to our already robust credibility and deterrent power.

It's believed (and very likely) a lot of the regime bigs were hiding out up in Mashad (birthplace of the "revolution") during much of the recent excitement. It's the furthest location from Israel and US forces based in the Gulf states and at sea. But it can be reached, by the US and Israel, just not as easily as Tehran and other major cities.
My Op Epic Passage concept would be founded on a 2026 version of 1944/45's "Big Blue Blanket", which involved our enormous Task Force 58 (or 38, depending on who was in charge) putting up huge numbers of fighters to "blanket" any Japanese airfields in range of the task force. They would stop or attrit any Japanese attack on the fleet, pre-emptively.
Today a combo of constant surveillance (drone and overhead), loitering attack drones, heavy air patrols, and of course massive attacks on any ID'd facilities or weapons would be the blanket. Convoy a group of ships through the Strait at night, simultaneously smother the relevant geography with the "blanket".

Given the IRGC has had nearly 50 years to infect the entire Iranian Nation, that is a rough gambit to pull off without putting ground troops into Iran. The Japanese at the end of World War II surrendered without the US invading the nation but it took years of total warfare across Asia to get their minds right for when we bombed them into submission.
Obliterating Iranian infrastructure and oil production facilities could have a similar effect though it's not clear who we would be negotiating with. At least with Japan the Emperor could say enough is enough. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the gay Ayatollah doesn't have that kind of sway.

Cuba is just slowly spiraling down into misery. Electricity is rarely on anywhere in the country now save for a few suburbs of Havana where the government people live. No one’s going to revolt because all of the able bodied men have already left for other places. Cuba is a land of the old, the very young, the sick,and the mentally ill.
That’s actually a good argument for leaving it alone. The place is so run down and decrepit that it would take incredible amounts of cash to turn it into anything worthwhile again.

You will notice we have another full Moon on the 31st. This will be a blue moon by the calendar month definition, which I don't like. It will not be by the seasonal definition. That will occur next year.
I thought the seasonal definition was the correct proper astronomical one. It isn't either. Both definitions were 20th Century contrivances. The seasonal one was made up by Henry Porter Trefethen, of the long defunct Maine Farmer's Almanac in the 1930s. The calendar one came about by a silly mistake an amateur astronomer made based on that in a 1946 issue of Sky & Telescope.
Trefethen's definition was nice and neat, and made the most sense astronomically for a definition of an oddball, 13th full moon during a tropical year. He just tried to pretend it was some old tradition. And even then, he had to add special handling for Easter (it's complicated).

Which is why a typical single-malt scotch whisky is 12 years old, and it has to be at least 3 years old to be called "scotch whisky" at all. While "straight American whiskey" only has to be 2 years old, and "whiskey" without the "straight" has no aging minimum.
The American stuff got the easy-to-extract chemicals out of the barrels first, so the scotch needs more time to get the same effect.

100% agree with your assessment: they are target number one. Degrading them with air power alone is a tough tough task given how embedded they are into the country and given the size of Iran. Not saying we shouldn't do this, in fact I think we should. Knocking out Iran's modern infrastructure, harsh as it would be on the population, may be what's required. General Sherman on his March to Atlanta demonstrated that taking your enemies infrastructure down to bare earth gets their minds, right.
For right now, the total blockade is the least expensive route. If the news reports are correct, that they are on the cusp of having all their oil wells go south, that leaves the IRGC with no way to pay they're bastards that have been terrorizing the population for nearly 50 years. The bands come off the barrel pretty quickly at that point one would surmise.

Though there's a throwaway line on the Scotch page on wikipedia, that "some distilleries use virgin oak casks as used casks are becoming increasingly harder to source."
I thought "aged at least partly in used bourbon barrels" was part of the legal definition of scotch, but apparently it isn't. Just "3 years in oak."

The first recorded instance of "blue moon" dates back to the 1500s. It meant something akin to "when pigs fly" or some absurdity that will never happen. By the 1700s that had softened to "a very rare thing", not an impossible one.
It never had anything to do with the actual Moon. There were some wishful thinking theories linking them, but there is no evidence for it whatsoever, and all the actual recorded evidence is to the contrary.

Quite a day. Started with unpleasantness I won't go into. Had a tooth break off at breakfast. Got better after that.
Tonight, MiladyJo and I finished our marathon viewing of the Eureka & Warehouse 13 series. We watched them in the original run, but never got through the last seasons. Both series had their silliness but fun characters. Both had good finales. Now we are free, free at last, to use our precious viewing time on some good movies. Or watching Star Trek. . . .
Skimmed through the comments pretty quickly. Something about the tire pressure on triscuits and the weight of cream cheese paint?

There was a total blockade on the German Empire in WW1 and the impact was felt primarily on the civilian population. That makes sense, actually. Those with weapons will take what is needed from those that don't have weapons.
That's why we cannot allow food convoys to travel to Iran (whatever food that would be in the ships will end up in IRGC hands) nor can we attempt airdropped supplies of food for the same reason. Delivering food via any clandestine pipelines that deliver weapons will expose those pipelines (by the more well fed members of the pipeline or those members of the pipeline that magically have food to give/sell).
I was a soldier back in the day
and view the world in such a way.
Giggity.

You know that Jonny Wurster kid, the kid that delivers papers in the neighborhood? He's a fine kid. Some of the neighbors say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it. Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a burrow owl. He kept bugging his old man; "Dad, get me a burrow owl! I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live!" So the guy breaks down and buys him a burrow owl
Anyway, 10:30 the other night, I go out in my yard and there's the Wurster kid, looking up in the tree! I say "What are you looking for?" And he says "I'm looking for my burrow owl!"
And I say "Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows the burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway!?"
Now Stuart, do you think a kid like that is going to know what the queers are doing to the soil?

Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire.
The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack.
My office along with the @FBI will continue this extensive investigation to bring Cole Allen to justice.

I have a confession to make: I'm afraid to ask AI who The Powers That Be are. There are four possibilities.
One, it doesn't know. Two, it knows and can't tell me, because They won't let it. Three, it can tell me and it's just basically the Ruling Class and Clerisy, as expected. Four, it can tell me and the answer will upend my worldview.
On the surface, that's only a 50/50 chance of disturbing, not bad odds -- but I can get the two okay results without asking. The results that I can only get by asking are ones that would wreck my mental equilibrium, without being able to do anything about it; so, therefore, logically, I'm better off not asking. Q.E.D.

For three days, OpenAI's lawyer Savitt has been framing Musk as a founding donor who broke his pledges.
Today Musk's lawyers filed the receipts to show what actually happened: ...
...
Under California law, when a charity solicits and accepts donations, a fiduciary relationship forms between the person who asked and the person who gave.
A legal duty to use the money for the declared charitable purpose.
Altman and the CFO solicited. Musk donated. OpenAI accepted.
Then converted the charity into an $852 billion company.
The trust was breached

This led me to wonder if there were any fires in state, which apparently there were not, again from the internet.
I checked the global map for chemical signatures that are indicative of widlfires, CO and SO2, and I took a quick look at the global map for Patagonia, which had fires recently to check if I had anything similar.
No fires there, but a plume of SO2 from one of the Sandwich Islands East of South Georgia Island, which may be an indication of volcanic action on one of the small cindercones down there.
So this is my life, now. I have assets on my PC from the Internet that the NSA didn't have when I was ten, and I find it vaguely boring and irritating.

Louisiana Suspends House Primary Campaign Schedule Until They've Had a Chance to Redraw Congressional Maps
Louisiana is, I've heard, good for at least one and possibly two Republican pick-ups with craftily drawn maps.
It's necessary to suspend the primaries if you're redrawing the maps because... well, people don't even know what districts will exist to run in.Louisiana governor suspends House primaries until July after Supreme Court redistricting ruling Landry said the rescheduling will only impact the House races in the state and subsequent runoff elections, meaning the Senate and state Supreme Court races will go as planned on May 16.Will other GOP governors take the same initiative? In some political quick hits: The House passed a measure to fund most of DHS. This represents a bit of a tactical defeat, as the House demanded full funding for all of DHS, but CPB and ICE are already funded through the Big Beautiful Bill, and it's Democrat Assassination Season again so we really need a fully functioning DHS.
... "The best way to end race-based discrimination is to stop making decisions based on race," Landry said in a statement. "Here in Louisiana, we're proud to lead the nation on this charge. Allowing elections to proceed under an unconstitutional map would undermine the integrity of our system and violate the rights of our voters. This executive order ensures we uphold the rule of law while giving the Legislature the time it needs to pass a fair and lawful congressional map." The House races will now be suspended until July 15 or "until such time as determined" by the Louisiana state Legislature. It was not immediately clear when the runoffs from the primary would take place.
Congress on Thursday passed legislation to fund Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies that don't deal with immigration, ending a 76-day shutdown. ... The bill did not include funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the Border Patrol. Republicans are planning a reconciliation package to separately approve funding for those agencies for the rest of Trump's term. Using reconciliation would allow the Senate to bypass its 60-vote filibuster threshold and pass the funding without Democratic support. The One Big, Beautiful Bill included funding for ICE and CBP, meaning the shutdown generally did not affect those agencies. Democrats had sought to extract policy concessions from the administration, but ultimately did not secure their demands.Asked if she thinks America will elect a gay president, Alexandria Donkey-Chompers says America's already had one. And of course we all thought: Gay Barack Obama.
TMZ DC is making waves on Capitol Hill ... after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told one of our producers it's entirely possible America's already had a gay president, Republicans seem to be offering up their best guess ... Barack Obama!!! The Republican National Committee's official X account just reposted our clip with AOC and added a photo of Obama on top ... seemingly suggesting the GOP believes Obama was our first gay Prez.

Not even fucking garrett talks like this.
Former President Barack Obama wrote of his own "androgynous" mind and "mak[ing] love to men daily, but in the imagination," according to the redacted portion of a now-notorious 1982 letter, obtained by The Post. The more than 40-year-old letter to an ex-girlfriend recently resurfaced after Obama biographer David Garrow gave a long and winding interview on the one-time commander-in-chief. "In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination," Obama, then 21, wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982.
"My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men. But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency," he added.
McNear, who dated Obama during his year at Occidental College in Los Angeles, later redacted the salacious paragraphs, which Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garrow hunted down and included in his tome "Rising Star." The letter is currently owned by Emory University, which doesn't permit it to be photographed or removed. Instead, Garrow's friend Harvey Klehr transcribed the paragraphs by hand and sent them to the author.

"a racist power grab" (instead of ... enacting the racist map SCOTUS just declared illegal)
"the MAGA-favorite Governor" (who? we don't even know his name)
"to help Trump avoid a humiliating midterm"
"white voters" who were the plaintiffs "were funded by groups who've long sought to gut the VRA" (unlike, you know, the long list of organizations funding the black plaintiffs)
They've even dug up writings and work by Roberts when he first arrived in DC under Reagan, with whining that he's long sought to destroy the VRA, and reaching this line "one could argue that he lied to Congress" (because he downplayed his role, you know, as an attorney hired to advocate for his client).
Please, please keep attacking Roberts.

Dems got greedy.
They had one district.
The new map kept them with one district.
They wanted two districts.
Under the new rules, LA can--and should--eliminate any "black" district.
Instead of 2, they'll lose the one--and probably 20 more across the South.
And that's before we get to the racist districts in blue states ....

But only 5 of them were targeted for discernibly political reasons (Lincoln, McKinley, Kennedy, 1 of Ford's (Sara Jane Moore), and all 3 of Trump's).
The rest were just maniacs - the consequence of a free society. Guiteau shot Garfield over a job dispute. Schrank shot Roosevelt because McKinley's ghost told him Roosevelt set him up. Fromme tried to shoot Ford for Mansony reasons of some kind, and Hinckley shot Reagan because he was trying to score with the lesbo from Paper Moon.
So, if you only count the politically motivated assassinations, the next attempt on Trump will account for fully half of them.

You can't delay an election already in process. Absentee ballots have already been sent out! If they do this Illinois should try to retroactively cancel their primary and redraw. Pritzker time to get working on that 17-0 map!
Louisiana managing to make the VRA unenforceable, then getting sued over having no Black districts at all, would actually be hilarious
Republicans hate Democracy. They don't even pretend anymore. ngl, I'm starting to hate it too. the people who voted for shit like this have no fucking business choosing our government
I never understood what "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" meant. Now I see there are (organized groups of) people that will tear it all down for a dollar, or a false word.
If the SC allows Louisiana to suspend the primaries, it's not a far leap to letting Trump suspend all elections.

Regarding Obungo, for what it's worth.
Can think of many reasons other than prancercising down AF1 Steps. Cowering over something (I forget, a boom or martial arts fight that most men would not flinch). His special friend,Reggie. The drowned chef. The church in Chicago covering up for gay men and finding beards for them to marry.
Here's the whopper or popper: A friend of Feinstein's, Kam Kuwata, died unexpectedly in CA in 2011.
He was against Harris being AG of CA.
He was said to have told Diane about smelling poppers, moaning, and two male voices in a room during the 2008 Dim campaign as he walked down a hallway. One of the males to exit the room was Obungo Jug Ears. [I have no idea where I read this but at the time believed it to be true and did not forget, for what it's worth]
At Kuwata's memorial in 2011, Feinstein frog jumped Obungo to announce the killing of Osama before he was able to on tv. It was rumored to be revenge for Kuwata's death.

That Riker episode was one of the dumbest things ST:TNG ever made.
The entire show’s history he is the ship’s big lady’s man anc all of a sudden he’s falling for a tomboy alien from a race that doesn’t have genders.
The ‘it’ wasn’t even attractive,
Looked like a low-rent version of the boy from The Wonder Twins.

R's flipped 8 seats in 2026. They were the "out party"
20+ years ago, Trump's 2024 win would have been a landslide/wave that would have swept 20 to even 40 Rs into the House.
Recall, 3 seats were "lost" in CA due to "harvesting."
Of those 8, they are: 1 in MI; 3 in NC; 2 in PA; 1 in CO; 1 in AK.
All these incumbents are running for reelection.
The 4 narrowest wins were in AK (2), PA(1; 1.6) and CO(1.4); those 4 all beat the incumbent.
The 3 in NC won by 16-38%.
MI won by 3.7%
In order to lose that few seats in 2026, the Ds have had to stack Rs in to all the other seats they held.
With the advantage of incumbency, it's not "historical trend" the Dems need--they need a massive, blue wave to flip the House.
There you go.
Or you can keep listening to the media who want the Dems to win.

"he most vaccinated place in the world is in Ireland.
It's a place called Waterford.
They had the highest vaccination rate in the world.
Then they suffered the highest Covid rate in Ireland.
And then they had the highest excess deaths.
The local health authority got an award from the World Health Organisation for the way they handled the pandemic.
They had the highest death rate, having had the highest vaccination rate. 85% excess deaths at one stage they were on.

As a young prosecutor who needed to make his bones, Comey put Martha in jail for deleting and then undeleting a text message. Also, for lying to the FBI agents who showed up at her door unnanounced (that's if you believe that their later-filed report was truthful and accurate.)

Nobody wanted to play that song; Simple Minds had turned it down but eventually decided to play it and they still hated it. It was a breakout hit for them but it would be decades before they acknowledged it. Really odd. Love that f**king song. I can't even sing and i belt that one out if it comes on the radio.

Number of votes cast in 2024 state house/assembly districts by party that won the seat:
California Democratic district: 177,000.
California Republican district: 203,000.
(15% higher turnout in Republican districts)
Texas Democratic districts: 50,000
Texas Republican districts: 80,000
(60% higher turnout in Republican districts)
Nevada Democratic districts: 27,938
Nevada Republican districts: 39,447
(41% higher turnout in Republican districts)
In Nevada 53% of overall votes cast in Assembly elections were for Republicans, but Democrats won 27 of the 42 seats.
That massive disparity is the result of tens of millions of non-citizens who can't vote and often are illegal but who comprise a very high percentage of Dem districts. SCOTUS requires districts to be roughly equal in size - even if a large % of the population is illegal.

Hapless Woke Karen Drops Out of Maine Senate Race, Clearing Field for National Socialist (and Avowed Communist) Graham "Totenkopf" Platner
Janet Mills is the currently serving governor of Maine.
The ugly broke-down swamphag has been fighting to keep six foot boys beating the shit out of five-two girls in high school and college sports. Below, she appeared at the Farmington Moose Lottery -- no, unfortunately, they were not giving mooses free cars or even potluck prizes, but just giving humans licenses to hunt mooses. She was heckled. I hear a lot of "moooo" heckles, which I think might come from the mooses present at the event. I think some mooses were present because if they get a moose hunting license, it's a license to kill your moosewife's lover, isn't it?Maine Gov Janet Mills relentlessly booed during the Moose hunting permit lottery at the High Peaks Outdoor Heritage Festival in Farmington, Maine.

Though she's -- he's? -- the serving governor, she is vying for the nomination as Democrat senate candidate. Had she won, she would face RINO Susan Collins in the general. But she's not winning. In fact, she's unable to even raise money for her campaign, despite being, as I said, the sitting governor of the state. That tells me two things: 1, Maine Democrats really don't like this Female Igor, and 2, Maine Democrats really, really love the Nazi with a literal SS Death's Head (Totenkopf) tattoo on his chest. PJ Media:
Mills posted her rather lengthy announcement of dropping out of the race on X on April 30. "When I decided to run for the United States Senate last year, it was because I believed Maine people were getting a bad deal from Washington and because the President of the United States was threatening our democracy and pushing our nation to the brink of disaster. I continue to believe that today," she wrote in the usual Democrat style of encouraging extreme hatred and violence against her opponents. She mentioned "climate change," abortion, and "free community college" among her focuses. Despite her hatred for Donald Trump, however, she is dropping out: "While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else -- the fight -- to continue on, I very simply do not have the one thing that political campaigns unfortunately require today: the financial resources. That is why today I have made the incredibly difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the United States Senate."She trailed the Nazi in the supposedly "anti-Nazi" party by... twenty-two points. And now the Nazi will easily goose-step his way to the nomination of the allegedly "anti-Nazi" party:
She trails primary rival Grant Platner by 22 points, according to the most recent RealClearPolitics.com polls average. Mills' campaign rested on a platform of opposing President Donald Trump, but it struggled to resonate with Democrats in the state, The Washington Post reported. Mills had the support of Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer. Platner, is an oyster farmer and first-time candidate. He will now likely face incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins in the General Election.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at April 30, 2026 04:50 PM (n7rxJ)
I believe so. I learned a bit about the Russian ones from Simplicius the Thinker earlier in the Russo-Ukrainian War, and these have that same evasive/precision glide capability. It's really very cool!
They hit such high speeds in the boost phase that it creates a bubble of plasma that interferes with electro-magnetism, including radio-frequency light (RF), which prevents it from being able to use satellite navigation. But that also may or may not protect it from lasers in that phase.
Then it drops a nose heat shield (exposing a camera), and deploys maneuvering airfoils. From there, like a glide bomb, it can compare the terrain in its view with maps in its memory, using discriminative AI (such as that used in facial recognition) to maneuver very precisely.
Although it slows down from air friction after the boost phase, it still comes in very hot: supersonic and glowing, at a steep angle that will catch air defense off guard if it's scanning for lower targets. (It's a tradeoff: you can detect further by narrowing the angles.)

US lawmakers have voted to end a 76-day partial government shutdown sparked by a standoff over President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement strategy.
The House of Representatives approved a Senate-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), sending it to Trump for signature.
The measure reopens DHS but does not provide funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) - the two subagencies responsible for immigration enforcement.

A substitute teacher in Florida was fired after allegedly suffering a bizarre and disturbing meltdown inside a high school classroo, where students say she twerked, made sexually explicit remarks, called herself a “million-dollar prostitute,” and physically grabbed a student by the neck area before deputies hauled her away.
The teacher was identified as Angela Faith Jourdan, a substitute at Lake Minneola High School. According to reports, deputies responded after staff triggered an emergency alert around 10:20 a.m. and found Jourdan yelling incoherently in front of students, News6 reported.
Investigators say students reported Jourdan had been slamming her hands on desks, making obscene comments, and dancing provocatively in the classroom instead of teaching. Authorities also say she referred to herself as a “million-dollar prostitute.”
The most serious allegation came from a student who told deputies that as class ended, Jourdan yelled at her, used a derogatory slur, then placed her hands on the student’s head, neck, and moved toward the throat area.
She looks like you'd expect....

I've got no problem with Collins. With her, you always knew what you got - and it's important to have an (R) in the Senate. The people that play Conservatives on the campaign trail and revert back to RINOs in DC - those are the ones I can't stand.
My only question is whether Collins is the most conservative we can expect in ME. My guess is that it is.

Maine is indeed a quirky place. Some of the richest people in the country have property up there and along with the colleges and universities it has attracted a lot of leftists.

There were a few of those as might qualify.
Vermont did its revolution against NH and NY, not against Britain. Which they turned around and fought for when NH and NY went for the Declaration. So VT had a strange independent status until 1791 when they chose the US (under the US Constitution which didn't recognize VT).
Also the whole Oregon Territory was under joint rule because UK+US at least agreed they shouldn't let the Russkies get it, and weren't asking the local Indians their opinion.

One can imagine a counter-history where the Revolution couldn't hold the Carolinas, George III keeps them and Georgia (and FL at the time), but loses New Brunswick. Except that the supply lines were just better going to Halifax.

I'm reluctantly curious to know if he has a faux SS blood group tattoo in his armpit, which would mark him as a true believer. The totenkopf could be explained away as biker MC shit, but not the blood group tatt. Neo-Nazi assholes have a habit of getting those tatts along with all the other crooked, crude Nazi imagery.
Funny thing is that at the end of World War Eleven, the blood group tatt was used to identify SS cocksuckers. The Russians and Frogs would just shoot them immediately, the Limeys and Americans would take them prisoner and interrogate them. Got bad enough for the assholes that the SS types would shoot themselves in the armpit to obliterate the tatt, trying to save themselves. Didn't work, the Allies just assumed that anyone with an armpit wound was SS as well.

Regarding Obungo, for what it's worth. Can think of many reasons other than prancercising down AF1 Steps. Cowering over something (I forget, a boom or martial arts fight that most men would not flinch). His special friend,Reggie. The drowned chef. The church in Chicago covering up for gay men and finding beards for them to marry.
Here's the whopper or popper: A friend of Feinstein's, Kam Kuwata, died unexpectedly in CA in 2011.
He was against Harris being AG of CA.
He was said to have told Diane about smelling poppers, moaning, and two male voices in a room during the 2008 Dim campaign as he walked down a hallway. One of the males to exit the room was Obungo Jug Ears. [I have no idea where I read this but at the time believed it to be true and did not forget, for what it's worth]
At Kuwata's memorial in 2011, Feinstein frog jumped Obungo to announce the killing of Osama before he was able to on tv. It was rumored to be revenge for Kuwata's death.

US to Deploy Brand New Hypersonic Missile, The "Dark Eagle," to Iran
The bad news: each of these missiles costs $15 million. And there are currently only eight of them. The good news: They have a range of 1,725 miles and travel at Mach 5 (at their fastest). They can maneuver in flight and dodge attempts to intercept them. I don't really think Iran is very advanced as far as missile interceptions, but I guess they could try. Their targets will be the remaining missile launchers Iran uses to terrorize its neighbors, hit US bases, and throttle shipping through the Strait of America. These missile launchers hide in fortified bunkers all day-- and then come out for just an hour to set up and launch a missile, and then hide again. These hypersonic missiles will be used as a very rapid response when a missile launcher is spotted by satellites or spyplanes. It would take "minutes" for the Dark Eagle to reach its target, minimizing the chances that the launcher will duck back inside its bunker before being hit. If they can take out eight of Iran's few remaining missile launchers, that will be $120 million well spent. (Though note the program's R&D cost $2.7 billion, but that's mostly sunk cost at this point.) Bloomberg:
Trump has rejected Iran's laughable "proposal" for the US to end the blockade while Iran continues its nuclear program. He will keep the blockade in place until Iran agrees to give up its nuke program and nuke materials, and is preparing for "short but powerful" strikes against the regime.
US Central Command has asked to send the Army's long-delayed Dark Eagle hypersonic missile to the Middle East for possible use against Iran, seeking a longer-range system to hit ballistic-missile launchers deep inside the country. If approved, it would mark the first time the US will have deployed its hypersonic missile, which is running far behind schedule and hasn't been declared fully operational even as Russia and China have deployed their own versions. The Request for Forces submission justifies the move by saying Iran has moved its launchers out of range of the Precision Strike Missile, a weapon that can hit targets at more than 300 miles, a person with direct knowledge of the request said. ... Dark Eagle, also known as the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon, or LRHW, has a reported range of more than 1,725 miles, although its exact capabilities are secret. It is designed to glide to its target at more than five times the speed of sound and can maneuver to avoid interception. ... The US already transferred most of its supplies of the stealthy JASSM-ER cruise missile, also designed for a fight with a near-peer adversary, to the Iran fight. About 1,100 of the missiles have been fired so far in the conflict.
President Trump told Axios he's going to keep Iran under a naval blockade until the regime agrees to a deal that addresses U.S. concerns about its nuclear program. Why it matters: Trump is rejecting an Iranian proposal to first open the Strait of Hormuz and lift the blockade, while postponing nuclear talks to a later stage. Behind the scenes: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has prepared a plan for a "short and powerful" wave of strikes on Iran in hopes of breaking the negotiating deadlock, three sources with knowledge said. After the strikes, which would likely include infrastructure targets, the U.S. would press the regime to come back to the negotiating table and show more flexibility. Trump told Axios he saw the blockade as "somewhat more effective than the bombing," and the sources said he had yet to order any kinetic action as of Tuesday night. He did post an AI-generated meme of himself holding a gun with a warning to Iran and the tagline, "NO MORE MR. NICE GUY." For now, Trump sees continuing the blockade as his primary source of leverage, but he would consider military action if it Iran still won't cave, according to the sources. He declined to discuss any military plans in Wednesday's phone interview, which lasted around 15 minutes.
The Dark Eagle is the U.S. Army's Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon... a mobile, ground-launched missile built to strike high-value, heavily defended targets with extreme speed and minimal warning time.

$15 million a copy isn't bad for what amounts to a precision guided cruise missile that can travel 1,725 miles at mach 5 and evade pretty much anything that is deployed against them. Actually that is a pretty good deal.

Minnesota State Sen.
@ErinMayeQuade
(DFL-Apple Valley) says the state Senate is being forced to cut more than 150,000 Minnesotans from Medicare because of work requirements mandated by the Trump administration and congressional Republicans.
What work requirements exist on Medicare?
Is she thinking Medicaid? I'm sure that there are loopholes for people who actually cannot work as opposed to those who can only be VPs at NGOs or Learing Centers.

Then deliver the rods to the various targeting satellites. Space mass weapons have to be fairly cheap compared to all of this and will have massive yields similar to many nuclear payloads.
My engineering sense tells me this is super easy, far more easy than currently deployed systems and the reason it is not known is A) it is already done and not discussed, or it is B) forbidden in some world agreement which is also not discussed. A little bit of covert A and B maybe too.

At least 'merican missiles hit the targets they're aimed at. One of the most recent Chinese hypersonic missile tests was found to be fast as hell, but missed the target area by a couple of miles. Not the target, the target AREA. Which if I recall from the article I'd read about a year ago was an impact range facility of about 20 miles square.

Good to hear the economy is growing despite the gas prices. I haven't totaled up how much I spent on gas during my recent trip -- I like my hair color brown, not white. But prices were generally a little cheaper in Kansas than in Da Swamp. I saw some $3.99s at the Exxons and Shells in MO, but the independents were more like $3.79.
The station near my house where I usually gas up, an Exxon, has 87 E10 at $3.39 for cash, and their E0 87 for only .30 more -- about the same as when I left thirteen days ago.

What I'm working on has so many steps outside of AI that if anyone got hold of everything it wouldn't matter.
Just working on a Microsoft Windows PC and using gmail, I assume no privacy. And I resisted smartphones until 18 months ago.
"The Great Courses" had a course on technology and privacy. I remember one lecture's idea was "Privacy is Dead. All hail the NEW privacy." which is basically us trying to carve out privacy in the new digital world.
That's easier for the kids who don't know or understand and are used to sharing everything versus 29 year olds who have no images of themselves online at all....

To embarrass the shit out of the ChiComs. I mean, I'm pretty sure they know we have it already, but considering the stellar performance of the rest of their equipment in Iran, Venezuela and Ukraine lately, they're in a difficult position when it comes to foreign sales.

===================
Airdrop Proposals: Commentary in outlets like the National Review has questioned why the U.S. and Israel have not used their stockpiles of "semi-obsolete weapons" (AK-47s and old explosives) to conduct massive parachute drops at hundreds of sites across Iran. Proponents argue that even if the regime seizes half the weapons, arming the people is the only way to topple the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
Feasibility and RisksInternal and international experts have highlighted several risks associated with these proposals:Counter-Repression: Critics argue that arming protesters would give the Iranian state a "moral high ground" to use total, overwhelming military force, shifting a political protest into a bloody civil war.

self-willowed.....
The satellite is already moving at a constant speed, not launching from a standing start (relative to the missile). It's already pointing at earth, it's already focused on earth, it's operating in a vacuum anyway..... It wasn't taking pix of Xi's belt buckle 1/4 second after dropping off whatever rocket put it in orbit.
I don't doubt that we could take accurate pictures from a missile-dropped camera, but they won't be pictures of the explosion, 1/4 second after deployment.

Just because Pres. Trump was positioning 3 (apparently being reduced to 2) aircraft carriers, multiple amphibious assault ships with Marines, 100s of fighters, bombers and strike aircraft, and flying in the 82nd Airborne he was going to give up.
At this point, I think some of the black-pillers are being paid to come here to the HQ and sow despair.
