Thinking about Rousseau and some of today's leftists
Do you agree with the graphic representation above?I put this together as an analytical tool to better understand these issues and how they align. Replace Fabianism with Gloablist/Technocratic managerialism for countries without Fabianism but similar situation.

Rousseau’s book Emile, or On Education, is a notable proto-modern take on education. It was one of the first to move the focus of schooling away from teacher-centred instruction and towards child-centred curiosity and discovery. It also included a take on religion that led to the book being banned and burned. And it also included a take on female education (they shouldn’t be educated, lest they take over!)The Taliban might agree!
The elder statesperson of French philosophy and letters at the time, Voltaire, was one notable critic. Rousseau, funnily enough, was an admirer of Voltaire. but he received mostly condemnation and bad reviews from Voltaire in return. Voltaire despised Emile, except for the anti-religious bit, which he called “among the boldest ever known.” Voltaire had written his own religious treatise – The Sermon of the Fifty – under a pseudonym. Rousseau outed him as the author, to Voltaire’s dismay. Time for some revenge! Voltaire dug up a dirty secret of Rousseau’s, one that had been doing the rounds but had never been made public. Rousseau, that paragon of educational theory, was in fact the father of five children. And all five of those children had been abandoned at a foundling hospital at Rousseau’s urging. Voltaire published an anonymous pamphlet bringing this awful secret to light. Rousseau’s partner, Marie-Thérèse Levasseur, was from a formerly prominent family that had fallen on hard times, and when she gave birth Rousseau (and Levasseur’s own mother) urged her to send their son to an orphanage. He claimed it was to preserve her honour (ew), but Rousseau later claimed it was because he was worried that the child would be better educated there (ew ew). Four more children followed, each following their elder sibling to the foundling hospital (ew ew ew). Rousseau later tried to track them down, but by that time they were probably all dead (ew ew ew ew).
This is what Rousseau had to say about the whole ugly affair:Failing to keep a record of his childrens' genders seems rather modern!Five children were born of [our] liaison, and all were placed in the Foundling’s Hospital, and with so little thought of the possibility of their identification that I did not even keep a record of their dates of birth [or of their gender]. For several years now, the self-reproach which my neglectful behavior has aroused in me has disturbed my peace of mind and I am about to die [a frequent condition in Rousseau’s life] without being able to remedy it, much to the mother’s and my own regret.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (born June 28, 1712, Geneva, Switzerland—died July 2, 1778, Ermenonville, France) was a Swiss-born philosopher, writer, and political theorist whose treatises and novels inspired the leaders of the French Revolution and the Romantic generation. Rousseau was the least academic of modern philosophers and in many ways was the most influential. His thought marked the end of the European Enlightenment (the “Age of Reason”The entire biography is quite extensive and academic, however. Does any of the summary above reinforce what Voltaire said? “No one has ever employed so much intellect to persuade men to be beasts. In reading your work one is seized with a desire to walk on all fours.” Do "furries" come to anyone's mind?. He propelled political and ethical thinking into new channels. His reforms revolutionized taste, first in music, then in the other arts. He had a profound impact on people’s way of life; he taught parents to take a new interest in their children and to educate them differently; he furthered the expression of emotion rather than polite restraint in friendship and love. He introduced the cult of religious sentiment among people who had discarded religious dogma. He opened people’s eyes to the beauties of nature, and he made liberty an object of almost universal aspiration.
By the time of his death in 1778 at age 66, Jean-Jacques Rousseau was world famous as a philosopher, novelist, composer, and all-around polymath. He was buried at midnight, by torchlight, on the Isle of Poplars, a small artificial island in a park in Ermenonville, France, where he had spent the last six weeks of his life. Rousseau’s tomb immediately became a place of pilgrimage for his admirers, but his remains were not to stay long on the peaceful little island.
Rousseau’s writings and philosophy had a profound impact on the French Revolution, especially among the most radical of the revolutionaries. Maximilien Robespierre, perhaps the most bloodthirsty of the Jacobins, appealed directly to Rousseau’s philosophy to justify the Terror, relying on Rousseau’s argument that the “general will” must prevail over individual private will, through the use of “universal compulsory force,” if necessary. Although Rousseau would most probably have disapproved, the Jacobins cited his work as thousands of heads deemed to contain insufficiently radical minds rolled down the guillotine chute. But devotion to Rousseau did not die with the end of the Terror. In September 1794, less than two months after Robespierre himself was guillotined, the French Assembly proclaimed Rousseau to be a “Prophet of Jacobinism,” and voted to have his remains reinterred in the Panthéon.
Originally intended to be a new Church of Saint Genevieve (the patron saint of Paris), the building that would become the Panthéon was completed just as the French Revolution was getting underway. As part of the seizure of all church property, the National Assembly confiscated the building just before it was to be dedicated and declared that it would henceforth be a “temple of the nation,” where the “great men” of the nation were to be interred and honored. (About a year later revolutionaries burned the relics and remains of St. Genevieve and tossed the ashes unceremoniously into the Seine.) In July 1791, Voltaire became the first of the great men to be reinterred in the Panthéon. Jean Paul Marat followed, after his assassination in 1793, only to have his remains ejected after he was later declared to be an “enemy of the revolution,” rather than a “great man.” In an effort to avoid such embarrassments in the future, in 1795 the Assembly passed a law providing that no one could be interred in the Panthéon until he had been dead for at least ten years.
But back to Rousseau. In October 1794 his remains were taken from the tomb on the Isle of Poplars and placed into a wagon for the thirty-mile journey to the Panthéon. A 12-horse team pulled the wagon, which also carried a statute of Rosseau, while the inhabitants of the villages where he wrote his most famous works walked along solemnly behind it, one of them carrying a copy his book “The Social Contract” on a velvet cushion. In the days leading up to the reinterment ceremony, public lectures praised him and throughout the country songs and plays were composed and performed in his honor.
Finally, on October 11, 1794, two hundred thirty-one years ago today, in a ceremony that one observer noted had a (perhaps ironic) “religious atmosphere,” the remains of Jean Jacques Rousseau were interred in the Panthéon. Rousseau’s remains were placed directly across from those of his former hero and philosophical rival Voltaire, who after reading Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality wrote, “No one has ever employed so much intellect to persuade men to be beasts. In reading your work one is seized with a desire to walk on all fours.”
The shutdown rages, ostensibly, but not many seem to notice. When will it end? I suppose when Chuck Schumer’s polling shows him pulling even with Ocasio-Cortez, now that he has stood up to the dreaded Trump. In other more significant news, a cease fire finally came to Gaza. It is bittersweet: good to have the remaining hostages returned, bad that Hamas still exists. Whether any of the remaining points of President Trump’s peace plan are ever implemented, remains to be seen. But memesters gave Trump credit for saving the lives that could be saved. Meanwhile, battles raged in Portland and Chicago. The Democratic Party and its judges came out foursquare for criminality, in what some see as a clarifying moment. And, oh yes–meme creators are not yet done with the sombrero. Sombreros may attain a permanent place in the panoply of memedom. So here goes:Okay then, sombreros:

(Jump to bottom of comments)The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
[Too opinionated this morning? Deal with it.]
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Hortonville) 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice. And equally cruel with the trolls.
3) Gosh darn it. No, you can't run with sharp objects.
4) A big Shout Out and Thank You to Annie for shepherding the Prayer Revival
5) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 9/9 – Pookysgirl asked for prayers as Pooky has a procedure to hollow out his prostate on 9/23. They are not sure of the long-term implications of his acute kidney injury, but his kidneys are recovering. God has worked miracles to keep Pooky with them in the past, as an answer to many, many prayers.
9/13 Update – Pookysgirl reported that Pooky is on the mend. His kidneys are recovering, he is sleeping better, he has been more confident interacting with the kids. Prayers of thanks! 9/11 – D sent an update for Susan, his wife, and her battle with cancer: Thank you, everyone, again for your prayers for Susan. Her cancer markers went down at the last Dr visit, but she is back to having abdominal pain that is making it hard to eat right. They are trying to get her weight up and thank God for the good days they do have. The really good news is that she is able to walk around again without the fear of falling over.
9/23 Update – The pain has started coming back, so they went to the hospital and found a cyst. They are trying to determine if it is infected. 9/13 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for her daughter KTE to fully recover from the stomach bug that she has been suffering through. 9/18 – Taylor reported that WitchDoktor took his own life last week. 9/20 – Tonypete sent happy prayers for Will and Natalie, who were married on 9/19. May they continue to live God’s plan for themselves and remain as happy as they were on their wedding day. 9/20 – Accomack sent his thanks for the prayers for his wife. She was cleared of the parasites, but her liver has not returned to normal because of all the antibiotics. She has not been cleared to return to work, but she has insurance and union payouts, so this could go on for a while. 9/20 – Dash my lace wings asked for prayers for her mama. On 9/17, she fell and broke ribs. It was the second time in about 6 weeks, and much more painful than the last time.
9/27 Update – Thank you for your prayers. Her mother is recovering slowly. 9/20 – RedMindBlueState asked for prayers for the wife of a close friend. She is back in chemo for a recurrence of cancer. Please pray for her and her family. 9/21 – P asked for prayers for her brother, T, in New York. He already has stage 4 lung cancer. His car got totaled one night at 3 am, and when his wife was driving him to the insurance office the next day to report this, he felt so wobbly that she diverted to the ER, where they found out he’d had a stroke. 9/22 – C requested prayers for a friend whose mother passed away after years of dealing with dementia.
10/4 Update – The friend and his siblings are gathering at the family home today and the service will be in the next few days. The finality will probably hit him at that point. 9/27 – Retired Buckeye Cop wrote to thank the Horde for praying for his kid brother, “J”, after he lost his job back in June. A few weeks ago, J received two job offers. He accepted the job that offered $13K/year more pay and had a shorter commute. 9/27 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for her husband’s swift recovery. His procedure was minor, but not quite as minor as expected. 9/27 – Sock Monkey requested prayers for his paster, who went to the ER with chest pains and slurred speech. The pastor is a young man, late 30s, and relatively fit. He has 3 young children with a 4th due in Oct. Please pray for his recovery and strength for his wife. He has been a tremendous blessing to the church. 9/27 – Joe Kidd posted a request for a friend, Bill, who has assumed sole responsibility for the care of his 90-year-old mother. (The original caretaker has fallen into alcoholism and was been removed from the premises. Please pray that she gains clarity and resolve to battle that demon.) And please pray that Bill’s path is made straight as he decides between taking early retirement or continuing to balance full time work with caretaking. Thank you and God bless. 9/27 – From about That Time asked for prayers for surgery on 10/1 to remove a growth. Please pray that it’s just a small disposable annoyance, as expected. 9/27 – Tonypete gave an update on the people from his church who were in an automobile accident earlier this year. Cheri is doing much better. While convalescing from the car crash, she fell and broke her hip, so she is recovering from that also. One of the passengers, Nick, had a heart episode during the wreck and died. He was his wife’s caregiver and she is now bereft. Prayers are still needed for all. 9/28 - Teresa in Fort Worth gave an update: It has been 1 year since Teresa started “down the cancer rabbit hole”. She sends her thanks for the prayers as they have buoyed her and her family through this year. She has been blessed to exceed the original 6-12 months predicted, by the grace of God – and the prayers of many people. Her next CT scan is in November, and the surgeon is pretty sure that her tumors will be small enough to remove/destroy.
10/7 Update – A recent CT scan shows lots of calcification (indicating tumor cell death), and the oncologist didn’t see any sign on the small tumors. The area where the largest tumor was now shows lots of calcification and the largest tumor has shrunk by almost 90%! Her next CT scan will be 11/3, and they assume they will be discussing surgery to remove the lobe of her liver, where the tumor is located. Timelines are uncertain, but she is hopeful that she will get to spend Christmas with her family at least one more time, if not more! Thanks to EVERYONE who has been praying on her behalf. 9/29 – toby928 asked for prayers for a brother named Joe, who is being crushed by grief. Joe’s wife is in a coma and will likely die in the next few days. 10/1 – Duke Lowell sent an update. He is home now, after 8 days in the hospital and every antibiotic known to man. He sent thanks for the prayers, and thanks to God for granting him another day in this glorious world He’s created. 10/2 – Bluebell passed along an update: grammie winger sends her gratitude for all the prayers – she feels they are working. On Oct 6 she will be starting a cancer treatment program because her doctors are “cautiously optimistic” that they can give her some more time. Monday she gets the port, followed by 6 hours of chemo infusion on Tuesday. The Rev is doing better because now he has some hope. Pleease pray for her as she starts this treatment program because in her words, “prayer changes things”. 10/4 – Legally Sufficient’s “Boss” will be undergoing intestinal surgery shortly. It looks scary so prayers for him and his medical team are appreciated. 10/4 – The Fabulous for safe travels as she travels to visit her oldest daughter who is about to be a mother of a baby girl. Prayers for the mom to be and her child. 10/4 – Skip requested prayers for his dad, who fell at church back in August, hitting his head. He fell again at home and has had back pain since then. He is going in for more tests on 10/8. 10/4 – Out Country is Screwed sent thanks for the prayers over the past year, during breast cancer treatments. The prayers have sustained, through surgery, chemo, and now through radiation. 10/4 – Random Dave would appreciate prayers from the Horde. He is one of the 5% of government workers that make the other 95% look bad, and he is trying to move to the private sector. He has found a good possibility to meet/exceed his pay and do an interesting job that is a good fit for his skills and interests. Praying that if it’s where God wants him, He will make it clear and the road smooth. 10/4 – DenverGregg asked for prayers for Ana, a lady from his church who is experiencing unemployment and mental illness, which tend to exacerbate each other. 10/4 – Longtime Lurker, Morgan, offers praise for financial blessings and petitions for safety in upcoming travel and coping with social isolation and loneliness, including finding a church home. Blessings upon Ace, the COBs, the other site works and all the blog lurkers and participants. 10/4 – Mrs. Leggy asked for prayers for a young girl who is suffering from leukemia and now has a horrible infection of the colon. Surgery may be required and because of her weakened condition, this could kill her. Thanks so very much! 10/6 – Inogame sent happy news about his wife and baby. The 20 week ultrasound was completed, and there is one baby girl with all the correct parts in the correct places. Mom and baby are doing well, though mom could use a nap or 20. 10/7 -CW is a long-time Horde member who could use prayers. His relationships with his son and his daughter have deteriorated recently, and his daughter has cut him off from the grandchildren. 10/8 – fourseasons asked for prayers for his/her brother-in-law, Chris, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He had another scan last weekend and there is another tumor. He is losing his vision and has lost his ability to speak. He will have surgery on 10/10, and the surgeon said he will probably lose the ability to walk. The family is devastated. Chris is a wonderful man and has always been healthy.

I'm guessing that E0 is used mostly by lawn equipment where the owner is tired of replacing fuel lines. High flow gasoline is not desirable when filling up small tanks.
The other is, the fuel station owner is using an older pump since E0 is not considered a high customer request.

I've been going there for some years, since the Sniffle Scare days. Only in the last year has the pump been so consistently slow. I suspect the issue is as you say, that the pumps are old. I can't imagine the Indian or Middle Eastern ownership of this convenience store worrying about such piddling stuff as customer concerns about lawn equipment.

Diana was a completely and utterly selfish jerk last night. I was very tired and wanted nothing more than to fall asleep, but D was occupying my side of the bed.
She refused to move and when I tried to move her myself she passive-aggressively turned into an inert sack of cement. Eventually I shoved her over enough to get the minimum amount of room for me. Borzoi bitches (*shakes head*).

My mother passed away Wednesday during my visit to the hospice. I came in, sat down next to her, and she took in a deep breath. After that she gently faded away. She was about a month and a half away from 100.
I miss her terribly but I'm glad she's free.

Was on my second Kindle Fire until a couple months ago. I mentioned to my Dad I was thinking of switching to a Samsung, so without asking he bought me this Galaxy Tab A9+.
No ads or walled Amazon garden, but it's very sluggish compared with the latest Kindle, for about the same price. Besides no Play Store on the Kindle I could always (until Kindle changes it next gen) side-load apps like Brave by just installing an apk file from apkpure.
The only way to get a Samsung tablet that performs as snappy as the Kindle costs like 500 bucks or more. I haven't researched other Android brands, any ideas on a sub $200 11" tablet with the same or better processors than the latest Kindle?
Also the speakers (4 of them!!) on this Samsung almost make the slow processors worth it. They wrap your head with stereo no matter how you hold the screen. So many trade-offs.

My brother in law, Chris , is now recovering from surgery to remove brain tumors. He was talking last night which he hadn't been able to do before the surgery. Hopefully he will completely recover.
Thank you for the prayers.

Here's something I've been praying on and studying on the last few weeks. In the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder and his wife Erika's publicized expression of forgiveness, it's good to ask what is the Christian's obligation to forgive, in various scenarios?
God's forgiveness is vastly different from man's forgiveness, and is offered freely (but with conditions) for whosoever shall believe in Christ's redemptive suffering, death, and resurrection.
An individual such as I, having not been directly transgressed against, probably have no standing to offer forgiveness or seek retribution, other than collectively in the form of state-administered justice system. My forgiveness is irrelevant, except perhaps in my own heart.
Erika Kirk, as a Christian, had the option to offer forgiveness (but wasn't obligated to do so in the absence of repentance by the murderer) and chose the gracious option.
I'd be interested to hear some of your thoughts re: this subject.

...interesting.
Good days and bad, but steadily declining. We aim to keep her safe, loved, nourished and pain-free for however long we need to and can. Yesterday morning I found her awake walking around at 3:00 a.m. scared that everyone had died and she didn't know what to do. She kept repeating that, "I don't know what to do."
I sat with her and talked until her mind cleared and she was able to go back to bed.

Her dad died at the age of 48 when my friend was 7 years old. Hopefully, she takes after her mom. Her sisters all lived into their early 90's.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I too consider the Lord's Prayer re: forgiveness. I think there is an element of let us forgive those who transgress against us in the same manner as you have forgiven us our transgressions. And I think that forgiveness can justly be offered commensurate with the level of repentance on the part of the offender.
Certainly the Christian is admonished not to harbor hate, anger, vengeance and festering resentment..

Many different ways to answer this question.

Christ Centered: Glorify God in understanding that the sins are against God, and its God domain to administer justice, in this world through God's ordained agents, and eternally.

Has he already graduated? My recent grad daughter found that while she had no job, she was practically a non-entity for firms, so finding a spot to work, even if PT and/or wildly out of the field (b/c the field may be overstuffed by 10 year degreed feds in science - ALL the Bio fields especially are just overwhelmed right now b/c of the government RIFs, so firms have their pick), but that is professional or license conferring helped. Once in that job for 2 months, it's like the world started opening up to her. She's still not in a lab sciences field, but for now, she's settled in and happy, and will look again next summer...or won't if she decides she likes this current field more than expected...

Good morning and prayers up for all. Reading the request list, I'm always amazed at the deep troubles in the group, yet it always seems to remain joyful and supporting. I know I've found strength here- for one, it makes my problems (that I try not to dwell on) seem relatively insignificant. One of the things on my daily list of things to do is "maintain frame- be joyful, steadfast, and grateful." I watched "Falling Down" yesterday (at the Critical Drinker's recommendation). Kind of hit home regarding the path I could have taken after losing wife, job, etc. But the lesson is in Duvall's character versus Douglas's. Don't dwell in the dark, don't live in fear, love does not equal possession, that's dependency. Watch it if you haven't.

Provided some medical history to my prospective Medicare provider the other day. Got to a question that asked for immediate family status, including deaths and their causes. Mom and dad lived to 90 and 87, respectively. Older sister couldn't quite make it to her 60th birthday (something she eerily predicted a decade prior). Older brother could only manage 67 solar laps.

After Hurricane Sally ruined the roof on my house, I got word that the roofers would be re-shingling starting early the next morning. So, I got up that morning and I drove over to my house. I slowly drove down the street. Being Florida, all the roofers were Mexican, of course, and when they say my car, all of them stopped what they were doing and watched me approach. One guy looked like he was ready to jump off the roof and run. I got a good laugh out of it.

Between the feds firing instead of hiring, and doing a ton of that at NIH, CDC, FDA, Dept of Ag, Dept of Interior, etc, you have 10s of thousands of those degreed folks floating around PLUS no one being hired at fed gov (a huge former hiring place for a lot of life science folks). A new college grad, with the stigma employers already attach to them, really can't compete for entry level jobs with those with Masters and PHDs and 10 years of experience.
If you look at some of the underemployed fields based on major (aka working jobs that only needed HS degree vs their actual college degree), all the bio sciences are represented this year.
If I had advice, I'd have him search into fields illegals/H1-Bs previously did that now he can backfill...it will be a crappy pay, sh&tty field, but he'll be working and then more jumpable...

Not the best pay, but most are FT with benefits, and you start at level 1 and can advance (or our hospitals have training programs that then open up that can transfer you into lab work, albeit not plant lab work)...
And it's good resume build, and eventual good references if it goes well...

R.C. Sproul had an essay on forgiveness addressing an individual who said that he had prayed for God's forgiveness but didn't feel that God had forgiven him. Sproul pointed out that feeling forgiven is not the same as being forgiven and that God's forgiveness had already been granted via Christ on the cross. He called it arrogance for man to deem that forgiveness insufficient.
In a situation like that it may be more about forgiving yourself.

You won’t believe what degrading practice the pope just condemned
Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists
Australian Associated Press
Thu 9 Oct 2025 19.00 EDT
The pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires.
Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance Minds International.

Greetings, FS ... Temp agencies are often used by large companies to "hire" employees ... The companies tell the agencies what type of persons they're looking to hire, let the applicants work several weeks for the company as a "temp", allowing the company to decide if the temp person is a good fit for full-time employment ... The experience of registering with a temp agency is great for a person's self-confidence because most agencies provide basic-skills testing ... Temp agencies make their money by charging companies above-and-beyond the temp employees' hourly rates, so it's in the best interest of the temp agency to find jobs for the people who register with them ... IOW, a temp agency would augment the job-searching your son is doing on his own ... Just a suggestion.

The grafting crews at the nursery I worked at were all Central American, and it was a continual struggle to find workers who had authentic papers.
Nurserymen have organizations that list membership, and there is generally a state certified nurseries list.
Nurseries for ornamentals are dependent on home building, but forestry nurseries are not so much.

Minor rant re last thread: Pixy speaks of rare earth "reserves" in USA and other countries. Sorry, "reserve" is a term of art in resource extraction industry, and means a deposit that is sufficiently well delineated and the cost of its production can be accurately enough estimated that there is a reasonable assurance of a profit if production is undertaken. A reserve is a bankable asset. What exists is mostly "resources", meaning "we know there is some here, but we don't know how much, nor do we know how much it will cost to extract it." It takes a big commitment in time and money to make a resource into a reserve.

Trump gave Chuck a full week before acting, and now he's going to town.
Remember, Schumer is not the center of gravity, it is Dem senators who don't live in deep blue states. Only a handful need to peel away for this thing to end, and the longer it goes on, the more blame they will get for the jobs eliminated.
Schumer I'm sure is saying he'll now hold those jobs hostage as well, but that's just doubling down on failure. Those will never make it past the House and eventually reconciliation (which bypasses the filibuster) will happen.
In fact, I think they could have worked that but chose not to for exactly this reason. Schumer walked right into the trap.

Under Clinton and Obama, known resource-rich areas were designated "national monuments" in order to keep the US dependent on imports. The stuff is still there, and Trump is looking at unlocking it.
Not long ago a Clinton-era ban on logging roads was repealed. It was a typical 11th hour job, and of course Dubya just sat on his ass and did nothing.
That change will of course bring in new lumber and also mitigate forest fire danger and one can only wonder why it took this long to fix.

Daily Tech News 11 October 2025
Top Story
- Just when we were starting to worry about things getting boring again China has blocked exports of rare-earth elements to the rest of the planet. (MSN)
There are 17 rare-earth elements, used in electronics (particularly magnets) and chemistry, and China has shut off sales of 12 of them. China gained control of the market not because it has massive resources - Vietnam by itself has half the proven reserves of China - but because rare-earth elements are stinky and China didn't mind the smell.
Past tense, because a lot of China's rare-earth production these days comes from slave camps in Myanmar and not from China at all.
President Trump has announced a 100% tariff on all imports from China in response.
This is hardly the first time China has pulled this shit - the same thing happened in April. Which seems like hundreds of years ago, but trust me, it wasn't.
- And share prices in Australian mining companies are booming as a result, because Australia is currently the largest Western producer of rare-earth metals. (MSN)
Because the funny thing is that rare earth elements aren't all that rare. Vietnam, as I mentioned, Brazil, India, Australia, and the US itself all have millions of tons of reserves.

- Intel's 18A (1.8nm) process node has entered production ahead of TSMC's 2nm node. (Tom's Hardware)
It's hard to precisely compare the two since products aren't shipping to consumers yet, but Intel's 18A process looks to be somewhere between TSMC's 3nm and 2nm - 20% denser than TSMC's 3nm but 20% behind the upcoming 2nm process.
But it certainly seems to be a leading-edge process and Intel is not repeating the years of 14nm+++.
- Amazon's Echo Show has abruptly turned into a billboard they expect you to pay for. (The Verge) (archive site)
At Amazon's hardware event last month, I asked Panay how ads fit into his mission to build products customers love. He said that if it's relevant, it's not an ad, "it's an add-on."
Translation: Fuck you."There are moments on the product where ads aren't always bad," he told me, explaining that if the customer is looking for something specific, and the ad gets them to that faster, it can be a good thing.
Translation: You're too stupid to know what's good for you anyway.My experience of these ads has not been that they're an "add-on." They're intrusive and annoying, showing me products I'm not even slightly interested in, such as elderberry herbal supplements, Quest sports chips, and tabletop picture frames. (Well, the last one might be an option if I remove the Show from my desk.) And, unlike some of the previous ad experiences on the Show, they cannot be turned off.

There were strategic stockpiles of a great many things up until the 1990s, some of it clearly outdated. Mohair, and Quartz crystals for radios are probably no longer needed. Aerospace metals and things like that are a different matter.

The youngsters did well at the Vet's office during their annual check-up.
Frog seems to be stable at just under 13 pounds, and Margo at about 8.5 pounds.
And after a round of treats and brushings, we were forgiven for putting them through such indignities.

I started taking creatinine about a month ago.
I began at 5 grams a day, but I found some videos with Dr. Rhonda Patrick phd. (Not MD).
I am now at 20 grams a day and I feel like it has made my thinking a little more clear.
I am 76 and I think I am increasing muscle mass, my quads seem to be bigger, and the volume I lift is increasing. Delayed muscle soreness seems to have decreased a lot.
I get a powdered version called Raw from Sam's Club.

You go on Amazon or Walmart and there are dozens of brands, most you’ve never heard of besides Nature Made or Equate.
Most of it is made in India or China and you’ve got no clue what’s the stuff is really made of, or how consistent the quality is.
I keep hearing about this Methylene Blue now is ads and people talking about it around the web, but I’ve got no clue what’s it for?

I stopped at the one in Athens, AL, both going and returning on my Indiana trip. On the return, it was Sunday afternoon and the place was crawling like a kicked-over anthill. Took a little time. Since I wanted ethanol-free gas, I had to go to the far end of the long rank of pumps, 200-something, and it was a trek to the store and back, and then back again for my change. Plus a restroom visit.
Their E0 was about .60 more a gallon than regular. Worth it for the gas mileage bump -- though I didn't break even on the price increase % vs. the mileage %.

I've been gassing up on E0 at a discount store in the suburbs near my barber which has the E0 at 2.99/gal., about .30 cheaper than at the Exxon convenience store nearest me. And the latter's pump for the E0 seems always much is slower than for other grades -- 70 seconds to pump a gallon, opposed to about 10 for E10 regular. If I were to pump a near-complete tank, it would take me 15 *minutes* to fill up.

Lost me at the end.
I understand they want to open up AI to the masses, but I’m not sure how Neuralink is going to solve that problem.
AI might be in your brain, so to speak, but it’s still in binary code running through a chip in your head.
Does anybody want an AI in your head talking to you like Siri or HAL?
Seems like it would be exhausting and ripe for malfunction and mischief.

Those "environmentalists" are nothing more than typical leftist saboteurs who want, above all, to see this country fail. They don't give a crap how badly the Chinese destroy the environment, since they are Communists and beyond reproach.

I'm guessing that E0 is used mostly by lawn equipment where the owner is tired of replacing fuel lines. High flow gasoline is not desirable when filling up small tanks.
The other is, the fuel station owner is using an older pump since E0 is not considered a high customer request.

It would seem to me to interfere with people who constantly have that inner monologue.
And I don't know how it would help those who don't. It would be like a little demon sitting on their shoulder telling them what to do and there is no countering angel on the other.

True.
It’s worse for some people, for whatever reason, especially the young and impressionable.
This a country where selling “Pet Rocks” was a thing for a few years.
I was too young for that fad, but I’ve often wondered if anybody walked out to a river bed, grabbed a rock and tried to pass it off as the real deal.

Scroll through X, Rumble, or Telegram and you will see it in full display: Tucker Carlson peddling Kremlin talking points while fawning over Iran’s ayatollahs. Andrew Tate, the internet’s self-proclaimed alpha, ranting like a Qatari state propagandist and accusing Israel of “genocide” to content his new ‘ummah’ brothers and sisters who hated his Islamic conversion. Nick Fuentes saluting Hitler while pretending to be a patriot. Candace Owens playing the martyr every time her pro-Hamas “truths” are called out. Even the Hodgetwins and Myron Gaines now sneer that supporting Israel means “selling out to the globalists.”

From the article it sounds like Amazon is A+B testing them, so you might not have gotten the ad version yet.
Could be yours hasn’t had the firmware updated yet, too.
As bad as the press Amazon is getting for putting ads all over devices that weren’t advertised as having ads all over them, they might stop doing it.
Kindles give you a choice when you buy them to get out of ads on the home screen by paying more.
Echo Shows should be the same way if they’re going to start inserting ads between pics of the kids.

No ads or walled Amazon garden, but it's very sluggish compared with the latest Kindle, for about the same price. Besides no Play Store on the Kindle I could always (until Kindle changes it next gen) side-load apps like Brave by just installing an apk file from apkpure.
The only way to get a Samsung tablet that performs as snappy as the Kindle costs like 500 bucks or more. I haven't researched other Android brands, any ideas on a sub $200 11" tablet with the same or better processors than the latest Kindle?
Also the speakers (4 of them!!) on this Samsung almost make the slow processors worth it. They wrap your head with stereo no matter how you hold the screen. So many trade-offs.

I did. It wasn't complete corpo-speak/baffle-gab, though I suspect the author is used to having to translate ideas into baffle-gab in order to get C-level executive buy-in on any proposals.
Basically: Neuralink wants their technology for AI adopted widely so no one large player (or small group of large players) can control it.
This would probably end up being similar to how Ethernet (being an openly available standard) overtook the competing network technologies of Token Ring (IBM) or IPX (Netware).
Also: I remember using both of those "other" networks standards/topologies/hardware. The "Dang, I've gotten old" jokes go here...

Marketing: "No...you're still not getting it. We make them thin. Same circumference, but thin. People are stupid. A lot of our customers are just north of a lump of mud. They see the word "thin" or "slim" and think after two weeks of eating these Thin Oreos that the pounds will just melt off. But, they'll eat the whole package like normal."

1. Eastern Ukraine, including Kiev, has been hit hard with drone and missile attacks over the last few days. Lots of blackouts and loss of water, central heating plants down too. It's almost as if the Russians want to run everyone out of eastern Ukraine so they can take it over.
2. On the ground, things are looking grim for the Ukrainians. Too much front line and too few bodies to hold it. Two months ago the Russians punched a 10 mile salient into Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainians threw everything they had at it, trying to collapse it. After a tough few weeks, the Russians are pushing back and the salient is growing.

The 1935 Chevrolet Suburban is regarded as the very first SUV in history while the Willys Jeep Station Wagon was the first SUV to feature Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) option in 1949. However, the 1984 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) is credited as the first SUV in the modern understanding of compact size SUVs

It being San Diego, there are some who show up in sandals. But shooting and surfing are hobbies not rarely combined here. One of my RSO crew is a surfer, such a long-time fixture at a particular beach that his name is on the old timer's monument there.
Surprised today when half the hockey locker room started talking about surfing - and not here, but in Peru and NZ. So hockey and surfing, also a thing. I know one of the indelible scars of my teenage-hood was hockey practice in the morning, followed by body surfing after, usually this time of year. Brutal. Amazing what humans can endure.

Adding to our "this might be a dumb question" vibe, how did the Russians kidnap 35,000 Ukrainian children? Was there a boarding school the Russians raided in the first 24 hours or something?
I was reading about the "refugees" early in the war. And it turned out about 1 in 6 fled to...Russia.
I suspect the Russians didn't abduct anyone.

If I understand it, a lot of them are ethnic Russian kids who got sent to Russia at the outbreak, and kids from overrun areas.
Honestly, though, I am hoping this is the first step in declaring a crisis in human trafficking which has been a terrible crime ongoing out of Ukraine and the other "south slav" and related areas

Though, now that I think about it, I do remember a female co-worker who was going on vacation. I asked her about it and she told me she was going to the Caribbean "with family" but then she thought about it and explained not her actually family, she had been a nanny for another family and when they went to their beach house they just naturally invited her too all expenses paid...

A former colleague, once stationed in Bad Tolz Germany (home of the SS officer training school) did a paper on the Germans use of rolling stock of their RR to haul Jews instead of supplies. He was able to interview several senior officers about it. Short answer, "We were ordered to." The really interesting part was their ability to work around rail disruptions due to sabotage and bombing.

Any of you early-rising Moon watchers take note. This morning and tomorrow will be about the highest you'll ever see the Moon in the sky.
The Moon is a harsh orbital mistress -- all sorts of complex precessions and stuff going on. 2025, around March, was a major lunistice (standstill), which means the Moon's orbital plane is the most inclined it can be to the earth's equator.
And right now, things are aligned so that it's about at max declination near enough to the full Moon, so you have a very bright Moon as high in the sky as it can ever be. The "lunar tropic" is at 28.7 degrees latitude now, which is about at Orlando. The Moon will directly overhead in Orlando. This means in Miami, the Moon will be *north* at transit, not south.
For me here at 34.7N, it will be over 83 degrees high. This will not happen again for 18.6 years.

Things (the Prop 50 vote) ire heating up here in CA.
FOr the past 2 or so weeks, Gov. Got Nuthin has been running an ad whining about how we need Prop 50 (here in CA) to restore the redistricting power to the politicians, so everyone in the US is assured of fair elections.
Naturally, everyone sees the problems with GN's logic.
Today, some-(Tom Steyer)-one has started running a rather shrill ad, showing Trump (mainly from the back, sometimes only parts) throwing food at a TV running a pro-Prop 50 ad.
Isn't Steyer the clown who ran neck-and-neck with fellow clown Deval Patrick? They both beat Kammie in the primary, but so what? Steyer lost.
Perhaps we can get Ahnold (already anti-Prop 50) to do a Terminator commercial, maybe catching Steyer and Patrick about to grab the $300million at stake, and run them off.
Any chance an ad fisking Steyer and Got Nuthin will run in about a week? The CA election is on 04 Nov, just over 3 weeks from now

As seen elsewhere - Qatar bought a bunch of F-15 and included in the package pilot training (and probably the whole support system). Apparently Mountain Home will be the Base where they will training.

But we bought a Toyota Highlander 2 years ago and its been a disaster. And stupid ergonomics - like no interior glow for dashboard controls, you have to look into the blinding overhead light to find the off switch, the navigation is anti-driver friendly with several "are you really sure" prompts. Something has changed at Toyota, as if they put someone's "niece" in charge of quality control.

Re horse consumption.
Overall Eastern Front: Estimates suggest 500,000–1 million German horses perished between 1941 and 1945, based on replacement needs and captured animals
Stalingrad: The 6th Army entered with ~10,000–17,000 horses; most were eaten by troops over the 200+ day siege to stave off famine.
Broader retreats (e.g., 1943–1945): "Tens of thousands" of horses were slaughtered for meat across the front, per wartime accounts.
Posted by: Fenrisulven at October 11, 2025 12:15 AM (9H22g)
Horses died at a rate of ~10,000–20,000 per month in harsh seasons (winter/mud). Assuming 60–80% of non-combat losses (e.g., starvation/exhaustion) led to consumption (based on memoirs and Soviet reports of systematic slaughter), this yields:1941–1942: ~150,000 eaten
Estimated Total: 300,000–500,000 horses eaten by German troops on the Eastern Front. This is a conservative range; higher figures (up to 750,000) are possible if including partial consumption or indirect use (e.g., hides for boots)

I'm not sure about that. I'm not really built that way. Thats living like a stuffy rich dude. I don't see me saying "hobson, grab the keys to the pirate ship and get my junkmail". I think I would be hands on with a lot of things. I can see having an accountant. Not even sure I would have a landscaper. I think I would have fun with my custom hemi powered lawn tractor. lol

Well its also a symptom of what was my lifestyle since I was 18 up until just a few years ago, and I'm not actually sure I'm done with that yet anyway. I was kind of always responsible for me, and not so quick to hand things off to others Its a I can only depend on me kind of thing. I would make a lousy rich dude. To be honest, I couldn't live like trump, it would drive me crazy. If I had a shit ton of money I would just do what I always do, just on a larger scale.

Details of the Orca Behavior
Targeted Area: The behavior is concentrated in the Strait of Gibraltar and waters off the coasts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
Primary Target: Orcas focus their activity on the rudder of slow-moving, medium-sized sailboats.
Origin: The behavior is believed to have originated with a single orca and then spread to three different groups, or "pods," of orcas.
Escalation: The incidents have become more frequent and intense, with hundreds of interactions recorded and several sailboats sunk. "

Dafuq are the humans doing? We're the intelligent species. We don't need to extinct all the orcas; just get rid of the ones that do this.

It is bizarre to me because today’s writers should have built on the material they saw in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and thus be making some good quality movies now. That is far from the case. As if they refused to learn from the examples of those before them.

we have had professionally trained dogs that used training collars, and I have tried the shock so we wold be comfortable with the collars. it is not a violent shock, its what you get when you touch live wires.
It is also much more effective and not as violent as choke collars.
Not that there was any reason for that cumstain to shock his dog.

The strategic location of Pasni, situated just 70 miles from China's Gwadar Port and 100 miles from Iran’s Chabahar Port, has raised significant geopolitical concerns, particularly for India, which views the potential US presence as a direct challenge to its strategic interests in the Arabian Sea.

'35 Suburban was a depot hack. That's not a slur; it's a term of art, meaning a multi-passenger station wagon often used by hotel and resorts to pick up guests and their luggage at the railway station, In my book, 4-wheel drive is a defining feature of and SUV. I am wondering when Toyota 4Runner and Nissan Pathfinder first came out. Also compact SUV's, and built on truck frames, another defining feature.

There was a lake behind my old house. One 4th of july somebody showed up with a bag full of block busters, or 1/4 sticks as they called them. We were taping rocks to them with duct tape and throwing them way out in the water. It was amazing how you felt the ground at the shoreline thump when they went off. You would see this flash well under the surface and them *thump*. I think thats when I realized how depth charges wrecked submarines.

The Nobel Committee has decided to make the case for Trump’s war on Venezuela, giving its “Peace Prize” to Maria Corina Machado, a US govt-funded regime change activist who’s helped lead failed military coups, violent street riots, and has likely promised her country’s oil and mineral wealth to a consortium of MAGA aligned billionaires in exchange for financing her political arsonism. This icon of peace has even appealed to Benjamin Netanyahu to help her lead a military invasion of Venezuela.
Maria Corina Machado is a marionette for Marco Rubio, a creation of the CIA-sponsored Gusano Industrial Complex that has brought violent terror and siege to any Latin American country defying the Washington Consensus of privatization and austerity, and a would-be Pinochet in a skirt...

Huh.

So, A-holes never paid me. Cash, check, game tokens, NOTHING. For 3 kids, a whole weekend.
And then had the ballz to ask if I'd 'sit for them again, "just for a couple of hours"-- they actually had bf's parents do the asking this time. Like I was supposed to do it for The Fambly or whatever.
I happily informed bf's parents that I would never, ever, EVER 'sit for _____ again, even if he decided to pay me for last time (which he never did) and that he shouldn't bother asking again.

Here is my post from last night before they chose the Nobel Peace Prize winner:
_____________________________________
I'm betting that the selected winner will be María Corina Machado.
Posted by: Orson at October 09, 2025 11:19 PM (dIske)
__________________________________________
I was sure Trump didn't even get consideration. So, I chose the person whom I thought they might choose that I would find the least bit acceptable. Machado is a good egg (which she proved in her acceptance comments). But, more than that, she's fearless. She is confined to the country, unable to travel abroad. She is constantly under the threat of death. And, yet she's still plugging away after having won the primary of the opposition party. If Trump didn't get the award, I am satisfied that this woman did.

I was going to laugh at that comment, but it's true. Lots of hippy-style theology at my parents' ELCA church. They do good things, but yeah, it's all hippy-dippy Jesus the Social Justice Classless Teacher. And the rainbow poster is the wrong one.
I escaped the ELCA after a period of wandering in the wilderness, could've been LCMS at one point. But I had to be me & take it a step further. I'm LDS now, and loving it!

Sorry for your loss. My brother would tell me "if anything ever happens to me you better get to the house lightning fast and clean my shit out, because she'll (his wife) will throw it out. I thought he was semi joking. He doesn't have junk. A small stash of nice guitars, a shit ton of tools, some other things, etc. Not a lot of stuff as a whole. To her everything is junk in her perfect little world. A few months ago she was saying what do I do with this stuff if anything happens to you (my brother). I said thats a not a problem, give me 2 days and would be like he was never here. She looks at me and says well thats my stuff too. I said well what would you do? She says, I would throw it out. (??!) I looked at my brother and he gave a look that could cut a diamond, as if to say, when I said get your ass here I fucking meant it. I can see a problem on the horizon.

the republican nominee in Virginia believes solar panels don’t work when it’s dark outside and windmills don’t work when “there’s no wind”.

My grandfather in Texas would "rent" German POWs to work his fields (my dad and uncle being in the service). He spoke something called Texas German which is kind of a patois of German and English. Anyhoo, at lunch he would sit in the fields and eat with the POWs and talk with them.
His neighbors accused him of being in the Bund. My grandmother never let German be spoken in the home. My dad didn't know any German.

Both my grandfathers, one from a Brandenburger family and one Pomeranian, wore the toothbrush mustache right through WWII. Nobody was going to tell them what to do with their mustaches. Between them, two tankers, two infantrymen, a cruiser sailor and a flyboy.
The toothbrush began as an American style. It was copied by fashionable young Germans.

The Week In Woke
A Cultural Enrichment Agent illegally entered England by boat and decided to Enrich British Culture by threatening to murder Reform Party leader Nigel Farage.
Just as Farage had somehow learned of Khan's videos, Khan learned about Farage's video featuring him as an example of the kind of people the UK should be deporting. He quickly made a response on TikTok. Here's the video in which he threatens to kill Farage. "Delete the video. This not good my friend. You not know me. I gonna come to England. I gonna pop, pop, pop, murder." He also published another video in which he doubled down on his theat.Quick, give him a free apartment and lifetime of welfare before this Cancer Curer decides to go to another European country and threaten to kill people there.A subsequent TikTok post by Khan read: "I mean what I say" on an image of a GB News report about the threat against Mr Farage.Khan was stopped when he eventually crossed the channel. He was interviewed and denied any intention to kill Farage.In a police interview on 1 November last year, Khan said through an interpreter that he had attempted to come to the UK "10 times" and was in Dunkirk, France, when he recorded the video in which he is alleged to have made a threat to kill Mr Farage. Khan told police: "I come here because I want to live here. I want new life. I don't come here because I want to kill Nigel Farage." He also said that he had been smoking cannabis and was "high" at the time of posting the video.
As reading scores improve in red states thanks to the "Southern Surge" and their emphasis on scientifically-proven methods of reading instruction like phonics, they're falling in blue New England states. Red states raised the bar, whereas blue states just lowered standards.
Massachusetts public schools were the best in the nation, and the rest of New England wasn't far behind, writes Christopher Huffaker in the Boston Globe. Ten years ago, Massachusetts students "led the United States across ages, subjects, and most demographic groups, despite wide achievement gaps," on the Nation's Report Card. Students in the Deep South, who came from much poorer families, were at the bottom. Now test scores are falling in New England, rising in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Alabama, he writes. While leaders of the "Southern Surge" focused relentlessly on improving reading instruction, New England schools were lowering expectations, Huffaker writes. To end the Massachusetts Malaise, leaders must "override the wishes of popular and powerful teachers unions, and, most of all, stop resting on their laurels." Karen Vaites and others have written about the Southern Surge in reading scores for months now, but it's an essay last week by Kelsey Piper, Illiteracy is a policy choice, that seems to have woken everybody up. "If you live where I do, in Oakland, California, and you cannot afford private education, you should be seriously considering moving to Mississippi for the substantially better public schools," wrote Piper in The Argument. No, Mississippi isn't cooking the books, Piper and Vaites write this week, also in The Argument. With far fewer resources than most states and far needier students, these deep South states are showing impressive progress. ... The "surge" states adopted comprehensive programs to train teachers in the "science of reading," adopt high-quality curricula and show teachers how to teach the curriculum well, Wexler writes.Expecting teachers union members to do their jobs well is racist or something, you Racists (or somethings). Huckster and flake Vivek Ramaswanay, the Guy Smiley of the Ganges, is now scolding the right for attempting to defeat the left and "own the libs." This guy always stunk of the rankest opportunism. He was always a phony and a flake. And he'll soon be calling us racists for wanting to restrict H1-B's for Indians.
Trump fans liked him in the primaries because he was the guy "running for the nomination" who was in fact never running for the nomination at all, but always praising Trump and basically running to be a Trump appointee. Raise your hand if you didn't see this coming. Now slap yourselves with the same hand, you Big Dummies. A leftwing jag who is very, very exercised by Right Wing Authoritarianism is almost as upset by the left's headlong pursuit of political suicide.The truth is, we face a hard choice ahead for our movement. It is a fork in the road. It is a fork in the road for the future of the conservative movement. And it's a hard question to ask ourselves: Is our goal to defeat the left, or is our goal to save the country? Last year, I believed these goals were one and the same. But going forward, I don't think they quite are.An Axios preview described his speech as "No more 'owning the libs': Ramaswamy pushes sharp break for GOP":
Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday plans to call on the GOP to embrace a less overtly belligerent and oppositional posture, Axios has learned. According to his prepared remarks, Ramaswamy will say the conservative moment is at a "fork in the road" and urge them to abandon its fixation on "owning the libs" in favor of a less overtly confrontational posture. "We can still stand for truth, while viewing those who believe in falsehoods not as our enemies who must be vanquished, but instead as our fellow citizens who have lost their way and must be shown the light," Ramaswamy will say. "Not to berate them, embarrass them, and banish them -- but to pray for them, to talk to them, and to persuade them," he will add.
I saw Trump's Anti-Democratic Blitzkrieg open for Turgid Wrinkle Noodle at the Cow Palace in 1977. The left's long romance with "revolutionary violence" -- aka terrorism -- is actual insurrection, writes Glenn Reynolds.
During the 2010s [leftwing] sentiment swelled to a crescendo, but in the 2020s it has begun to wane. The popular outpouring of "antiracist" sentiment that characterized the "Great Awokening" has petered out, and with it has gone the feeling of overwhelming progressive cultural domination. Bari Weiss, who got run out of the New York Times for being insufficiently progressive, just got hired to run CBS News. Cancel culture is canceled. ... Meanwhile, the activist energy that powered the smaller, initial version off BLM in the mid-2010s is gone now. That generation of activists has largely gotten exhausted and/or aged out. When the Supreme Court killed Roe v. Wade and banned affirmative action in college admissions, there was no major grassroots pushback. All the grassroots energy on the left now is invested in the Palestine cause, which is basically harmless to Republicans. And the policy ideas that came out of the woke era mostly flopped. Black Americans did not like the country's brief experiment with anarchy in 2020, and became much more pro-cop, which put an end to "defund the police". The flood of illegal and quasi-legal immigrants that Biden allowed during his time in office ended up turning much of the country against immigration (at least temporarily). The trans movement is losing on key issues such as women's sports teams. But in response to all of these losses, progressives have failed to moderate their views [...] ...progressives have retreated to safe spaces where they still maintain the absolute cultural dominance that so intoxicated them in the 2010s -- universities, NGOs, a few companies, and the small social network Bluesky. There, they can wield some facsimile of the cancel-power they once enjoyed [...] Meanwhile, quietly and behind the scenes, progressives are still quietly pushing Democrats to support policies that no one outside the progressive bubble really likes. This kind of thing renders progressives extraordinarily ineffective against Trump's anti-democratic blitzkrieg. It's also probably a big part of what makes the Democratic party so incredibly unpopular.
As I said earlier: The Democrat-Antifa-Media Cult keeps making the case that political violence is acceptable if you're angry enough. I don't think they appreciate that we on the right are thisclose to agreeing wholeheartedly with them. And then won't that be fun for them? Last week, Cracker Barrell cut ties with the advertising firm "Prophet" which advised it "Go Woke, Get Stoked!"
We live in ugly times -- made uglier, and ever more violent, by the institutional left. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller didn't mince words this weekend: "There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country," he declared on X. "It is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle . . . terror networks." Progressives like Stephen King shrieked "extremist!" in response, but example after example backs Miller's point. In Chicago on Saturday, a mob of protesters surrounded ICE agents on a routine patrol, ramming their vehicle and boxing it in with 10 cars to frustrate immigration enforcement efforts. Chicago officials allegedly ordered the city's police to stand down and not assist the federal agents -- even though one of the "protesters" was armed and shots were exchanged. Disturbed Staten Island teen seen bloodied on gurney as he's charged with murder for allegedly decapitating mom's boyfriend Armed resistance to US government officers executing the law, with police refusing to back them up? That was no accident. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker didn't condemn the violent resistance, but he did condemn the feds. ...
Sen. Charles Schumer openly threatened the Supreme Court, saying Kavanaugh would "pay the price" for overturning Roe v. Wade, shortly before Roske's assassination attempt. Democrat after Democrat openly called Trump a fascist, a dictator and a mortal threat to "our democracy" -- and two different people came close to killing him before the 2024 election. ... Democrats are forever telling conservatives their "rhetoric" could lead to violence. Apparently they meant violence from Democrats.
Cracker Barrel is ending its partnership with Prophet, the consulting firm behind its failed rebrand. The chain faced intense backlash after unveiling a new logo and redesigned stores that longtime fans said stripped away what they loved most about the brand. Cracker Barrel's restaurants, long known for their kitschy Americana décor, were recast in a style critics called drab and soulless. The uproar grew after the company dropped its iconic logo of an elderly man leaning on a barrel. A March press release said Prophet was hired to redesign Cracker Barrel restaurants and lead a new brand marketing campaign. At the time, the company said: "In collaboration with Cracker Barrel, they are focused on shaping a new brand vision that will enhance market share while preserving the company's unique heritage. This new strategy will inform brand communication, restaurant redesigns, brand marketing campaigns and a redefined employee value proposition." Separately, Prophet CEO Michael Dunn pledged $4 million in 2020 for the firm's DEI initiatives, saying the company would "bring in Black team members across every level of the firm," hire a DEI-specific recruiter and provide $4 million in pro bono work to social justice organizations, according to a 2020 blog post. Fox News Digital found no evidence that Prophet's DEI commitments were connected to Cracker Barrel's rebranding.Makes sense, right? Not to effeminate anti-Christian liberal extremist David French.
Now, a reminder: New York Times columnist David French explained, just over a month ago, that the controversy over Cracker Barrel's rebranding was an absurd fake crisis ginned up by right-wing idiots who were just pretending that something had gone wrong at the company. Along with the Sydney Sweeney thing, he concluded that we were watching some "completely frivolous and meaningless cultural disputes," examples of the way "right-wing media both mobilizes its base and bends political reality." If you believed that the Cracker Barrel rebranding was poorly done and would alienate the company's customers, you were falling for an invented reality that was completely meaningless and frivolous. Then Cracker Barrel fired a bunch of managers and its rebranding consultant, abandoned the rebranding, and apologized profusely, while its stock plummeted. If you listened to French, if you trusted the op-ed pages of The New York Times to explain the world to you, your understanding of the most basic outline of factual reality was flipped over, turned precisely upside down. He was only wrong about literally every single detail, completely missing what was happening, what it meant, and what would happen in the near future as a result of it. To listen to this idiot is to abuse your own mind, trapping yourself in the confines of an absurd house of ideological mirrors. He is inevitably wrong, completely wrong, reliably wrong to the point of absolute and unyielding madness. Now, the twist:David French, 2022: Churches are terrorist training centers, and churchgoing Americans are preparing to attack the country in a vast wave of right-wing insurrectionist violence. When you drive past one of the Lutheran terror cells, you're looking at the next 9/11, because here comes the Christian nationalist insurrection that they're prepping for in the pews.

The Nobel Committee has decided to make the case for Trump’s war on Venezuela, giving its “Peace Prize” to Maria Corina Machado, a US govt-funded regime change activist who’s helped lead failed military coups, violent street riots, and has likely promised her country’s oil and mineral wealth to a consortium of MAGA aligned billionaires in exchange for financing her political arsonism. This icon of peace has even appealed to Benjamin Netanyahu to help her lead a military invasion of Venezuela.
Maria Corina Machado is a marionette for Marco Rubio, a creation of the CIA-sponsored Gusano Industrial Complex that has brought violent terror and siege to any Latin American country defying the Washington Consensus of privatization and austerity, and a would-be Pinochet in a skirt.
Machado has spent years lobbying for US and EU starvation sanctions on her own country, resulting in waves of migration to the US, fueling the nativist resentment that gave rise to Trump. When Trump shipped Venezuelan migrants to a torture camp in El Salvador this year, Machado predictably sided with Trump, the main sponsor of her putchist career, over her countrymen...

I just think the guy got in over his head with some of this stuff. He didn't have prepared answers to all the questions, and when he tried to walk back some of the things for which he was being raked over the coals, I suppose he sounded insincere.
But here's the thing... EVERY POLITICIAN IS A LYING PIECE OF SHIT WHO TELLS PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR, AND DOESN'T MEAN ANY OF IT.
All of them. I'd rather have one that occasionally steps on his dick, and isn't very good at unstepping on it.

They ARE full-grown adults now, I think. Which does make it weird.
The producers missed an opportunity to create a show exploring these kids really going through puberty and adolescence while also fighting demonic hellspawn from another dimension. Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but a bit younger from the beginning.

I have watched a lot of DisneyChannel and Nick. I needed laughs and a few moments of happiness.
Comedies are easier and they can still do 20 some episodes a season.
But there were shows where the kids shot up overnight. On 'Coop and Cami' one kid was a kid in season one and literally 6 feet tall in season 2.

King of the Hill played around with this idea. In the first couple seasons, Bobby Hill and his best friend Joseph Gribble were about the same size. Then Joseph came back after being away for a while and Bobby was the same size he's always been but Joseph had gone through a growth spurt into an awkward teenager.

“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”

Hollywood Is Dying: One Third of All Hollywood Jobs Gone In Just Two Years
I've got a theory: Maybe it has something to do with Hollywood basically being Antifa Theater Kids now. Hollywood's big prestige drama for the fall is One Battle After Another which is expliclty pro-left-wing terrorism and anti-ICE. It never uses the word "Antifa" or "ICE," but its leftwing terrorist heroes are plainly Antifa, and the even Reichwing government agency they're blowing up and shooting at is plainly ICE. Sean Penn is part of this, you won't be surprised to hear. He plays, get this, an evil right-wing law enforcement official. Despite his insane levels of racism, apparently he's got a thing for darker-skinned minority women. (Oooh, maybe that's why he's so racist! Now that's some outstanding character psychology.) He used to have sex with a Virtuous Terrorist Minority Woman and had a Secret Racist Love-Child with her and, per Ethan Van Sciver, wants to erase all evidence of that. Van Sciver is being coy because he doesn't want to spoil everything but I think it's pretty clear he means that this evil Reichwing LEO wants to kill his former lover and his own child so that he can run for office in Texas or something. It's got real Four Quadrant Appeal!
If you work in entertainment, you probably heard some variation of this last year: "Survive 'til '25." Things have been bleak. In a recent article from The Wall Street Journal, the reporting goes as far as to call Los Angeles' production prospects "a disaster movie." The numbers are stark. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, around 100,000 people were employed in Los Angeles County's motion picture industry at the end of 2024. Two years earlier, that figure stood at 142,000. That's a loss of 42,000 jobs--nearly a third of the workforce--in just 24 months. The decline shows no signs of stopping. ... FilmLA, the official film office for the city and county, reported that on-location production was down 22% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. Television production has been especially hard-hit. The region reached a peak of 18,560 annual shoot days in 2021. By 2024, that number had plummeted to just 7,716. It's a 58.4% decline in three years. Paul Audley, president of FilmLA, told NBC Los Angeles that 2024 was "the worst year on record, excluding COVID." The first quarter of 2025 looks even worse. Every major category of production, from television dramas to commercials, logged fewer shoot days compared to the year before. What's driving this collapse? Multiple factors have made this unemployment stew. We have not yet recovered from the WGA and SAG strikes. The streaming bubble has burst, with major companies pulling back on content spending after years of explosive growth. The fires uprooted many on the west side of the city, and rebuilding is slow, so some have opted to leave town.
My full statement to President Trump during the White's House roundtable on Antifa: Antifa is real. It's a real threat...Sustained political violence is not a 'both sides' issue.

Fraudulent Documents Merchant and Hard-Left Activist Dan Rather has commented on CBS's hiring of Bari Weiss, claiming that her hiring, and not the attempt to rig the 2004 election with obviously fake "documents," is a "dark day."
"The American people will pay the price for this move, as will the journalists of CBS News who can no longer credibly serve as watchdogs because the ones they are meant to hold to account are signing their paychecks and hobnobbing with the president," the veteran journalist wrote. At one point, he warned, "It is a dark day in the halls of CBS News."
Last night I linked Critical Drinker's review of Good Boy, an independent movie about supernatural horror in which the hero is the family dog, and a very good boy indeed.
I've been flogging "Good Boy" all this week ever since we saw it on the weekend. I don't want to over sell it, but it is a very good movie Honestly, it does everything you'd want if you think about its premise. And yes, Indy is a very good boy. Definitely check it out if it's playing in your town. Posted by: naturalfake

A final legacy of my time here is one I am quite proud of. I noticed from reading the Ace of Spades site that he called his followers “morons” (which I would guess was an epithet thrown at them from the “approved” bloggers). And that he organized periodic “moron-meetups” in bars and restaurants to get to put faces to names and avatars. And I thought, “What a terrific idea to build Power Line’s brand!” Let’s do it for three days instead of just an evening!

Being conservative requires one to believe in a longstanding status quo that never really existed, but can be attained once again by the complete subjugation of [insert subgroups of people here], and the relocation of wealth to "creators" (the already wealthy).
You think Maga read books? The best educated among them move their lips when they try to read truth social posts
It's worse: worse: “You can make excuses for it, but basically the film is an apologia for radical left-wing terrorism, that’s what it is,” said Ben Shapiro.
That's failed fucking screenwriter Ben Shapiro
I’m sorry, I can’t take MAGA seriously when they cry that they want Civil War over any basic left-wing policy like health care or cancelling student debt.

What I don't get is why every film nowadays is produced by XXX Studio along with at least a half-dozen other production companies. Heck, it takes several minutes nowadays to roll the production company names using their individual animated logos. Another couple minutes to roll the names of the 38 associate producers and other varieties of producers. Credit lists are so long they must be listing all the janitors, gate guards, and the UberEats drivers that deliver lunch for everyone at the 250 special effects, animation, post-production, and other companies listed in the credits.
Weird.

Clownfish TV had a good vid recently about how bad it really is for the middle class in Hollywood. How screwed they all are. Especially animators. The streaming bubble blank check grift is bursting right at the time AI is taking over, and after a huge strike and pandemic, and LA is as literally on fire.

Non-progs are tuning out of woke crap. Progs aren't a reliable market by themselves. Geographical efficiencies of working in socal with a centralized pool of workers aren't enough to offset the kafkaesque bullshit.
And that is domestically, foreign audiences are less enamored as they watch the West burn.
Watched a youtuber who does urbex (exploring abandoned shit ) in rural France last week. Good lord; dead factories, dying towns, and arabic even in bumblefuck. It's depressing. Depressing doesn't sell culture and western civ looks like ass to outsiders, be it the US or Europe.

Hollywood at least pretended to appeal to mass audiences, with regular action and family blockbusters. The combination of Trump and COVID really broke them. They thought they either had the public on their side, or it was their duty to sway the public, so they went full court press on woke, stalled out due to COVID, and by the time they were able to start up production again, they were completely out of touch with the moment and looked like even bigger assholes than normal.

And that's why I'd rather watch old movies and television shows. That's before the Commies completely subverted the film industry.
Ironically, I just watched an old episode of The Saint dated 1962 in which Simon Templar assists the British War Office round-up a cell of Communist spies. Back then, it was just assumed that the Commies were the bad guys and a British audience would like to see them defeated.

The last episode (last week?) featured their discussion on violence becoming more pervasive and their take on causes. Kirn is more conservative but they always have a thoughtful discussion and it is always respectful.
I bring this up because Kirn has just written a movie that uses a fictional version of Covid and Nicole Shanahan is producing it. He talks about it in the episode and how movies have lost their ability to resonate with real life American experiences.
It's all very good. I subscribe to Taibi's Racket News and it comes with that.

It's tough to put NMS in a box. There really isn't a competitor in the sense that there's no other game that's you exploring and building in a literal fractal that's been turned into several quadrillion planets in 255 galaxies. It's a gorgeous, chill, one-title genre. I wish there was a competitor. In general, games like it are known as "Sandbox" games. Minecraft or Elite
angerous, or Empyrion:Galactic Survival, or Astroneer, or Space Engineers all are endless sandbox games. LEGO but on a computer.
But isn't, say, a roomful of pinball tables as a hobby also an endless game? There's no "You Win!" there, either.

The Josh Brolin character is awesome! A studio fixer, who goes to church, has a wife at home, apologizes for having to work late, turns down a huge pay raise to go work on the defense industry, and...
Puts up with all the crep all the prima donnas in town, solving their problems, and not letting them ruin what he considers a worthwhile industry.

They don't believe you. Why should they? People are afraid to even ask about Red Lines lest they be slimed as a "glowie".
The "light switch" metaphor is a cope to Do Nothing (because the only assumed alternative is violence that will quickly spin out of control).
Are we really so unimaginative that we can't come up with actions between Do Nothing and Fire Everything?

Health and BRAINZZZ GAINZZZ
Commenters kept telling me that diet soda was almost as bad, or as bad, as regular sugar water soda, and I kept not believing them.
A new study says that diet drinks with artificial sweeteners cause fatty liver disease -- a disease that 30% of the public has -- just like sugar water drinks do.I mean, it sounds so drastic, but I might have to give it a shot.
People could be at higher risk of fatty liver disease from both sugary sodas and diet drinks, a new study says. In fact, artificially sweetened drinks might pose a greater threat to liver health than sugary beverages, researchers reported Monday at the United European Gastroenterology's annual meeting in Berlin. The team also found that replacing these drinks with water significantly reduced people's risk of fatty liver disease.
... Fatty liver disease occurs when fat accumulates in the liver, which over time can cause liver damage. It's the most common chronic liver disease, researchers said, affecting more than 30% of people worldwide.I was diagnosed with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease -- i.e., Fatty Liver Disease because you're fat, not because you drink liquor -- five or six years ago. After I shed a bunch of weight, I went in for a follow-up, and had no more fatty liver disease. So it can be cured just by shedding fat. I don't know to what extent I have it now. I guess I have to get it checked again.
... Results show that drinking about nine or more ounces of artificially sweetened beverages every day was associated with a 60% increased risk of fatty liver disease. Likewise, drinking sugary beverages daily was associated with a 50% increased risk, researchers said. "Our study shows that low- or non-sugar-sweetened beverages were actually linked to a higher risk of (fatty liver disease), even at modest intake levels such as a single can per day," Liu said. Drinking water instead of an artificially sweetened beverage lowered a person's fatty liver disease risk by more than 15%. Likewise, replacing sugary beverages with water reduced people's risk by nearly 13%. ... On the other hand, artificially sweetened beverages might affect liver health by altering a person's gut microbiome, driving cravings for sweets and stimulating insulin secretion, Liu said.Via Instapundit, who says that we're probably close to a cure for obesity: scientists discover a switch controlling hunger.
Through the use of advanced fluorescence microscopy and single-cell imaging, researchers discovered that a protein called MRAP2 plays a key role in shaping how MC4R is positioned and behaves inside cells. Fluorescent biosensors and confocal imaging revealed that MRAP2 is essential for moving MC4R to the surface of cells, allowing it to more effectively send appetite-suppressing signals. This discovery reveals an additional layer of control in how hunger is regulated and could inspire new therapies that imitate or adjust MRAP2's activity to treat obesity and related metabolic diseases. Professor Heike Biebermann, project leader at CRC 1423 and co-lead author of the study from the Institute of Experimental Pediatric Endocrinology at Charité, notes that this international and interdisciplinary effort combined multiple experimental methods and perspectives to uncover key physiological and pathophysiological insights into appetite regulation with potential clinical impact.VodkaPundit: It's been six years since weed was legalized in Ohio and the damage report is in.
Green discusses the potency of today's weed. I remember reading about this when the Legalize Pot movement was really making strides. Pot growers had really cultivated the marijuana plant, just like we did with corn and grapes and wheat, making it produce far more "fruit" than it ever had in nature. I remember DEA agents warning people who thought it would be cool to just light up a J in the street: Today's pot is definitely not the pot you remember from 1977. It's basically an entirely new species. Green notes that 36 years ago, the pot in his area was prized across the country for having a super-strong THC content of 14-15%. Today, merely-average pot has a 21% TCH content.
A new Wright State University study showed that more than four out of 10 deadly car crashes included a driver with high levels of THC in their bloodstream. The study, just published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, reviewed data for 246 deceased Ohio drivers, and found an average THC blood level of 30.7 ng/ML -- 15 times the state's legal limit -- in 41.9% of dead drivers. Ohio is a fairly typical state in most regards, so I'd take that 42% as a good-enough approximation of trends in states with legal weed. Almost a dozen years have passed since legal weed first went on sale in Colorado and Oregon, so the numbers, high as they are (heh), don't surprise me. But the report is also frustrating in the context that it lacks. What percentage of fatal crashes involved weed before 24 states legalized recreational sales? The closest we get to that side of the issue is this item from the ACS writeup: "The rate of drivers who tested positive for THC did not change significantly before or after legalization (42.1% vs. 45.2%), indicating that legal status did not influence the behavior of those who chose to drive after use." The study only reaches back six years -- by which time medical marijuana, often a fig leaf for recreational use, had already been legal for four years. Prior to medical (and then recreational marijuana) becoming more widely available, there wasn't nearly as much testing -- making the data frustratingly incomplete.
Speaking of Mind-Expanding Drugs: I have some drugs to recommend.
Frogurt -- a name-brand grown and sold in Michigan -- tests at 41%. Something called Future #1 is up to 37% THC, and the Permanent Marker brand runs at an average of 34%. Back in the day, the hard-to-find 15% stuff was the much-sought-after "one-hit weed." The average pot today is 50% stronger. But for people willing to pay a little more, they can get stuff four times more powerful than much of anything your typical 1990 dorm-room smoker enjoyed behind the Redwood Curtain.
I've been craving some kind of nootropic since I first heard of them -- well, since I saw Bradley Cooper change his entire life by taking a fictional nootropic (brain-boosting drug) in Limitless. Months ago I saw Thomas DeLauer touting creatine as a nootropic. I also saw Rhonda Patrick talking about dosing herself with 20 grams of creatine when she wanted a mental boost. She claims it's like speed. I've tried speed -- well, Ritalin -- for the nootropic effect and I will say, no, it's not like speed. If you take speed, you know for a fact that your brain has been hit with a drug. It's potent stimulant that leaves no doubt you have been stimulated. Creatine's effect is more subtle. Note that weightlifters usually take around 5mg-10 grams per day (for the effect of boosting energy storage in cells). So 20 grams is a high dose. For the past couple of months, I've been trying to get at least 5-10 grams of creatine per day and sometimes trying to get 20 grams when I could remember to do it. Sometimes I would just have 5 g. Other days, ten. But I tried to hit 15-20. Based on my own N=1 study: I do notice significantly improved focus and ability to just churn out work when I get 20 grams of creatine. As I've started to notice the effects, I've been better about trying to make sure I get 15-20 grams consistently. My usual working day is 6 to 7 hours. I'm not saying I work efficiently for 6 or 7 hours. I do a lot of dicking around, a lot of scrolling through stories without ever bothering to post about them, and just wasting a lot of time. The amount of time-wasting I typically do is, well, embarrassing and just wildly sub-optimal. When I've got a good 15-20 grams of creatine, I work 4 and a half or five hours. I'm not really working better or harder, it's just that I don't waste as much time. No mid-day perusal of Busty Lesbian Porn. I'm more able to just say, "Here is the pile of stories I have to crank out, so let's get to it." I think that's a benefit. I haven't tried it with trying to work on that novel I've picked up and put down one hundred times before, but I'd like to. As you may know, creatine is cheap and legal and is well-tested and there are few negative effects. I've seen people say "Talk to your doctor first if you have kidney problems," and of course pregnant women and kids should probably not use it at all. This guy talks about possible health problems, including the possibility that low-quality producers may sell you powder containing a lot of dangerous heavy metals. One problem with it is possible GI distress. I don't know if this is a real problem or just one that Mac put into my head. Assuming it's a real danger, you probably don't want to just start on a 20 grams per day regimen and you wouldn't want to take 20 mg all in one sitting. Your GI system may need to build a tolerance for it. I built up to the 20 g over a couple of weeks and usually have 5 g per drink (coffee or diet soda, or, in the future, just water) for the first couple of hours of the day. Update: I had to go to Ikea earlier today so I drank two cups of coffee and took about 8 grams of creatine over an hour. I did in fact get a bout of Intestinal Urgency. I don't know if it was the coffee or creatine or just both at once. But I think Mac might be right. Or it could have been caused by eating Ikea Swedish meatballs early in the day and then doing the Ikea Death March for four hours. Back to post: It's not a wonderdrug. It's not the Limitless drug, unfortunately. (Damn I want to take that pill.) But I'm pretty sure there is a real benefit. The reason weightlifters and athletes use it is because it helps cells regenerate energy (ATP) during exercise. It also does this for brain cells. So maybe the better focus I'm experiencing is due to brain cells being able to regenerate ATP more quickly. I guess it just helps in recovery when you burn energy, including in your brain. Obviously I'm not a doctor and you should consult with your blah-blah before making any medical blah-blahs. But if you try it, let me know after four or six weeks if you think there are genuine BRAINZZZ GAINZZZ or if I'm just experiencing a placebo effect. Since I'm now in Joe Rogan mode: Say, pyramids are weird, right?!!?! The blocks are so big they only could have been moved by enslaved Bigfeet under the direction of Space Reptiles, right? So: Do you have any GAINZZZ? My own GAINZZZ: No real GAINZZZ, because I've had a lot of personal work I've had to do, but I also haven't regained the weight I lost during the fast. I'm counting that MAINTAINZZZ as GAINZZZ.

I'm NOT overweight and I was diagnosed with this. Supposedly it is unusual but not unheard of. I guess I could try to lose more weight and see if it goes away, but TBH I'm more focuses on strength training then losing weight.

I currently weigh more than I did when I got married (17 years ago tomorrow).
I'm quite a bit slimmer than I was then due to muscle GAINZZZ.
Now, I wasn't weak at the time, but I've made a point of lifting and exercise that I didn't in 2008. I actually discovered I'd grown out of a shirt I haven't tried on in a year (or more) and didn't realize my arms had gotten that much bigger.
In fact, my wife and I both are slimmer than when we were married. And that's especially impressive for my wife who's given birth to our 4 children.

I was given creatine as part of a TBI study. Part of the thesis was it had prophylactic value in terms of helping to prevent additional damage from future adverse events. They now believe it does have that effect, as well as a lot of other good impacts to the brain. One thing I learned is your body can only absorb a certain amount of creatine in a day, so they kept me between 5-10 grams based on body mass, etc.
BTW I only use creapure and that was used for the study. There is a lot of crappy Chinese and offshore creatine that is no bueno. Some in supposedly respected brands.

Sorry, no. I usually improvise when cooking! (Not so much with baking.) I used leftovers from a St Paddy's corned beef last time I made it. iirc I sautéed the onions in olive oil (and maybe some butter too) first, and then added the diced beef and taters. Probably frozen diced taters so they would cook faster. Good with eggs and other breakfast stuff.

The most compelling argument for legalizing (or "decriminalizing") pot was that enforcement was a joke. There was so much widespread defiance of the law that police and court resources were getting needlessly clogged up.
A bright side is that people may actually starting to understand that it's really not a great thing, and you probably shouldn't do it.

Finished the 3rd week "lifting heavy" which means as heavy as you can. Turns out I started way too low because I was worried about getting hurt, but I've been able to move up pretty steadily except for behind overhead tris.
I think low inflammation diet, ie no sugars, starches, grains, seed oils, processed food helps with not getting sore.
I'm kinda starting to like the weights, started it because after losing 35 lbs walking 5 miles a day, I quit losing. Grok said I got metabolically adapted. So now I lift push, pull, leg, rest with daily abs and then walk 3 and on rest 5. We'll see if it helps.
Not hopeful, but who the fuck knows, im trying and I do feel really good.

I take 1 gram a day which takes some of the load off the liver, which is meant to be a creatine regulator. Old people (like me at 77) waste away because the liver loses some of its ability to create creatine, and the body starts "digesting" the muscles and organs to get creatine from them. You die without creatine - the body has to have it. For me, one gram of creatine a day seems to work quite well at preventing old age wasting.

I started grabbing a Japanese hard candy with the water on those days. (These are really just caramelized sugar, but there is one that I really like shaped like a cone.) It completely sates me even though it is like 1 tsp of sugar. They take a while to dissolve and I suck on it as I drink.

Get a Kleen Kanteen 20 oz. insulated. Enough to keep you hydrated. Not too much to get warm and funky. Just the right amount that you are rinsing it out and refreshing it often. In the summer, especially with baseball, I'll bring a larger Kleen Kanteen insulted to refill.

There's a hilarious story told by John Masters in his memoir, Bugles and a Tiger, when he served as an officer with a Gurkha regiment in India before and during WWII. Apparently, a Gurkha soldier escaped from a Japanese POW camp in Burma and made his way, after many weeks, back to India. When he reported to the CO of the post, the latter was flabbergasted, and wanted to know how he was able to find his way back. The soldier presented a torn, worn-out map - of the London tube.

The pH of the stomach depends on what's in it. But Carbonated water has a pH of around 4, which may decrease or increase the pH of your stomach.
More acid means a lower pH. Less acid, or more base, means a higher pH.

I'm a prime example. I drink a ton of diet soda, but I do it to suppress the craving for carbs. I switched to a low-carb diet two years ago and lost 50 lbs in just a few months. I've maintained that weight loss despite drinking a massive amount of diet soda.
I'm sure it's still bad for me in some way, but... I'll believe it causes fatty liver disease when my doctor sees it.

Seriously, though, I'm 6'4" and weighed in at 247 lbs. when she was admitted to the hospital. I lived on black coffee and cigarettes the 5 days she was in ICU. That killed about 10 pounds right there as my body was burning through its fat reserves.
After she passed, I still didn't eat much for another few weeks. Just nibbled here and there, but foods that I previously enjoyed suddenly didn't taste that good anymore. That killed another 15 pounds or so.
It was the ultimate in fasting, although obviously not by choice.
Although my appetite has improved a great deal since, I'm still only eating once per day because I don't want to start gaining the weight back.
But I'm drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated.

And I've kept it off. Despite my appetite coming back with a vengance while my nutritionist and trainer get my body to convert to more muscle.
My trainer said that he wouldn't be surprised if I actually gain weight with the amount of weights I'm lifting now and my high protein diet.
Gotta keep an eye on it though since my kidneys leak protein... stoopid Type 1.

My Baptist relatives usually say that wine back in those old Bible days was really only one step removed from Welch's grape juice, and, in any event, they had to mix a little alcohol with their water because the latter wasn't safe to drink otherwise.

Which is utter BS because Scripture is loaded with passages that discourage being "drunk with wine". If "one-step-removed" from Welch's was true, the amount of grape juice/wine necessary to get drunk would also clean out the GI.

One of the hardest thing about dieting is avoiding sugar.
-----
I kind of hate sugar, at least in quantity. I barely touch the stuff, except in sparing amounts as an ingredient.
So the flip side of this is that if you don't eat sugar, and want to lose weight, it's really hard, because you're just naturally a fat bastard.
I decided to lose 20 pounds three months ago. I cut out hard liquor and beer. Just wine with dinner, now. I cut back pasta to once a week. Often I eat dinner without a carbohydrate dish at all, not even rice.
I've lost three pounds. One pound a month. All that's left is fasting I guess. But that ain't happening. I like to eat like a human. Just gotta start doing calisthenics I think.

The wife bought a few small shelf units and roll around cabs for her office that looked like they could have come from an IKEA, but she got them online. She opened it all up and asked if I would put it together. She hands me a small allen wrench and a small stamped wrench from sheet metal and says "this came with it". I looked at the huge pile of allen head screws. I blinked at her and said throw that crap out. I went to the garage and grabbed my allen sockets, a real wrench and my milwaukee battery powered ratchet which I call " The Zoomer" and buzzed it all together in no time. I would have been in hell if I didn't have those level of tools. The amount of screws were endless.

Grok sez:
Contrasting with Harmful Sweeteners: Unlike aspartame or sucralose, which some research ties to liver toxicity, microbiome disruption, and elevated NAFLD risk (potentially aligning with the LNSSB findings), stevia's plant-based compounds (e.g., steviosides) appear liver-friendly in most contexts. One outlier mouse study noted elevated liver enzymes and general damage from high-dose stevia, but it didn't link to fat accumulation or NAFLD specifically.
In summary, while the article highlights risks from certain non-sugar-sweetened drinks, stevia stands apart as unlikely to contribute to fatty liver—and potentially beneficial. If you're using stevia-sweetened products, moderation is still wise, and consult a doctor for personalized advice, especially with liver concerns. If this isn't the exact article you meant, feel free to share a link or details for a deeper dive!

OMB Director Vought: "The RIFs (Reductions in Force) Have Begun"
The mass layoffs of Democrat Deep Staters begins.
President Donald Trump's administration on Friday afternoon announced that it has begun firing federal workers, OMB Director Russ Vought wrote on X. "The RIFs have begun," Vought posted, on day 10 of the government shutdown, referring to reduction-in-force plans that the White House has long contemplated. "Can confirm RIFs have begun and they are substantial," an OMB spokesperson told POLITICO. "These are RIFs not furloughs." It's unclear how many people were laid off, and Vought provided no further details. But an administration official granted anonymity to discuss the layoffs said they hit agencies including: Interior, Homeland Security, Treasury, EPA, Commerce, Education, Energy, HHS and HUD. And Vought's post appears to follow through on a threat to inflict more political pain on Democrats. Trump on Thursday said his administration would target programs backed by Democrats. "We're only cutting Democrat programs, I hate to tell you, but we are cutting Democrat programs," the president said during a Cabinet meeting. "We will be cutting some very popular Democrat programs that aren't popular with Republicans, frankly." ... In a memo to agencies two weeks ago, OMB instructed Trump administration officials to prepare to carry out reduction-in-force -- or RIF -- plans during the shutdown, targeting employees who work for programs that are not legally required to continue or clash with Trump's policy priorities.I don't know if this is the bargaining chip we've imagined it is. The Democrats will just demand that the layoffs be undone as their payment for ending the shutdown. Active duty military personnel deployed in war zones will begin missing their paychecks this week. Or, as Charles Schumer says, "Every day (of the shutdown) gets better for us."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is drawing fire from Republicans after declaring that "every day gets better for us" Democrats during the government shutdown, which dragged into its ninth day Thursday. "Democrats couldn't care less whether military families miss a paycheck tomorrow. In an interview posted this morning, the Democratic leader said, 'Every day gets better for us,'" Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) fumed on the Senate floor. "This isn't a political game. Democrats might feel that way, but I don't know of anybody else that does," he declared. "The longer this goes on, the more the American people realize that Democrats own this shutdown." Thune cited a new Morning Consult poll that showed Democrats are getting more blame for the shutdown. The poll showed 43 percent of voters blamed Republicans for the shutdown while 38 percent blamed Democrats, but the number of respondents who blamed Democrats was up 6 points compared with an earlier poll. Thune made his comments in response to Schumer's comments in an interview with Punchbowl in which he asserted: "Every day gets better for us."Stop all welfare payments and pay the military instead.

The objective is pain.
Make Democrat client groups suffer because that is what they've tried to do to Trump and his supporters for years.
Clean CR or nothing. Also, those jobs ain't comin' back.
Democrats are more likely to demand more Medicaid spending on illegals than trying to keep their low run help in the federal government employed.

True. But rehiring them after they've been formally fired is a bigger ask than just the usual furlough bullshit where it's only temporary.
Plus, it's not "the Democraps" that must agree to end the shutdown. It's what -- another 7 of them -- that needs to be peeled off to get to 60. I think the more pain the GOP inflicts on the Dum's main constituencies, the easily it will be to find this 7.

Plus, it's not "the Democraps" that must agree to end the shutdown. It's what -- another 7 of them -- that needs to be peeled off to get to 60. I think the more pain the GOP inflicts on the Dum's main constituencies, the easily it will be to find this 7.

Be nice if it were, but that's not what I'm seeing. I'm on furlough, because I took the buyout from Elon, so I'm considered "nonessential." I'm supposed to be paid until my retirement date at the end of December, but on furlough, I don't get paid. Seems a bit like a bait and switch deal. I may or may not get the missing pay when they open up again. Who knows?
But the people on furlough are the DA interns, and anyone who is already on LWOP or admin leave. The managers are all still working. I don't see that changing.

If I understand the analysis by multiple reports on the internets, the DNC is not at the top of the pyramid but somewhere on the side. Soros groups provide the seed-money, NGOs and others scooped up Fed grants and international funding, then dispersed funds back and forth with some of it being sent to the DNC. They may be the controlling institution, but they're not at the top.

The GOP can rightly tell everyone they voted to keep government open and Democrat voted against it.
The counter proposal nonsense is just that, nonsense, because the floor votes have been held to open government and Democrats refuse to do so.
People don't care about the long winded "reasons" Democrats are giving for the shutdown. For the average voter, this is simple, votes were held, the GOP said, "keep government open" and Democrats are saying, "no" but, here's the reason why, blah blah blah blah.
People stop listening after "no."

They can only do it when they have to prioritize funding. It gets worse as the timeline goes on.
None of us have the accounting insight into when they were going to happen, but the reason the RIFs are starting now instead of Day 1 of the shutdown is because of that funding progress.
As detailed in the Antifediciency Act that gives the president authority to prioritize payments to keep the government solvent.

I always wondered what would happen when a president who spent his whole life negotiating with unions would face a similar situation in Washington. The big difference is that dragging out the Union negotiation in private life meant lost personal money. In the public arena, the personal risks are minimal, and the targets of those RIFs are obligated to prove their worth. Which is problematic from their perspective.

The only thing stopping the Rs in congress from breaking down spending bills by dept is a lack of will to do so.
Do the VA budget, then the DoD budget, and so on.
When you get to budgets that are just handouts to Dems, then you can offer significant cuts or just let them end...like HUD or the DoE...

Democrats say even missed paychecks for US troops won’t be enough to end shutdown alone
Congressional Democrats are privately preparing to hold their position in the shutdown standoff for several more weeks if Republicans do not agree to their health care demands – and not even a missed paycheck for US troops will force them to yield.

Tenure, time in grade, position.
If there are two people doing the same job and one's been there 10 years and the other 20, the one with 10 years is canned. Assuming one stays.
I'm hoping both get canned and the job abolished. Abolishing jobs is what keeps people from coming back after a RIF... as there's no job to come back to.

Next to none of them are makers; most of the makers are private contractors, because fed employees are drones and CHUDS. Some number of them are necessary overhead, but making the case that they are "makers," is fucking laughable, and they could be easily replaced.

While it is true that USACE works for a living instead of taking money directly from Congress, that only applies to the civilians, I believe. The active duty aren't being paid that way. I'm pretty sure they aren't furloughed, either, and they are not subject to a RIF, while the civilians are subject to RIF. But of course the working folks never get the straight story until they are shown the door.
I signed a contract stating that I would be paid through December, but I'm not being paid. That's the government system in a nutshell.

Cultural Enrichment Agents Are Arrested in Boston for Cultural Enriching Multiple Police Officers
So much wonderful third-world barbarism and the endless cultural enrichment we're suffering.
Remember when Democrats pretended, for four hours on January 6th 2021, that they were Rilly Rilly Opposed to Violence Against Cops? For four blissful hours, violent riots were not the voice of the voiceless.
Thirteen people were arrested Tuesday night in connection with a pro-Palestinian protest that turned violent on the Boston Common and left four police officers injured, including some with broken bones, according to officials. Protesters "turned on police" at approximately 6:50 p.m. when they began to move from the Common to the area of Tremont and Winter streets, Boston Police said. "At that time, protesters turned on police, kicking a marked cruiser, assaulting officers, blocking traffic, and setting off devices causing red smoke in the air," Boston Police spokesman Sgt. Det. John Boyle said in a Tuesday night statement.
Protesters scuffle with officers at Chicago anti-ICE demonstration Eight men and five women were placed under arrest. No one had been booked as of shortly before 9 p.m. Four police officers were injured in connection with the incident. Two officers were taken to local hospitals for treatment. Police have preliminary reports of officers with broken bones, but all injuries are considered non-life-threatening, Boyle said. "Another night of violence against police officers in Boston tonight," said Larry Calderone, president of the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association. "Our officers were attacked, assaulted and sent to the hospital with injuries. Completely despicable and totally unacceptable. We were outnumbered and understaffed for the event," he continued.
A judge set "high bail" for the pro-Palestinian invaders and brigands. According to the media.
Two more protesters charged in the outburst of violence during a pro-Palestine march and rally Tuesday have been held on $10,000 bail. A number of others were held on $7,500 and $5,000.This is "high bail"? January 6th "paraders" were held in solitary confinement pre-trial and some were sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The high bail amounts are the latest as public officials respond to the chaotic protest Tuesday that left a Boston Police officer with a broken nose and likely in need of reconstructive surgery. Osama El Khatib, 26, of Watertown and Styx Hatch, 19, of Boston were both held on $10,000 bail.Osama, huh? Always remember that bail bondsmen only expect you to put up 10% of the cost of the bond, with them fronting the rest. (Their fee is that 10%, which you don't get back). So basically this is $1000 fine. So high a fine for Osama!
Wow this bail is so high I can't even believe it.
Two other defendants were held on $7,500 including: Atlanta Carrig-Braun, 24 of Boston; Haley Macintyre, 24, of Dorchester. Held of $5,000 bail were Madeline Weikel, 27 of Watertown; Jacob Pettigrew, 22 of Malden, and Gabrielle Smith, 28 of Cambridge.
In a statement Wednesday, Suffolk County DA Kevin Hayden condemned the violence. "These defendants were not in court today because they were protesting," Hayden said. "They were in court because they committed crimes. If you assault police and commit other offenses you're going to be arrested and prosecuted, period.Pro-Palestinian "protesters" did damage estimated at $400,000 to statues and other property at Case Western University. Although the school's president promised the jihadists would be prosecuted, in fact, they were let go with no criminal prosecution. They were, however, required to pay for the damage they caused. Well, not even all of it. They were required to pay the school $350,000 for the $400,000 in damage they caused, and then they would be set free with no jail and not even a criminal record that would jeopardize their precious "student" visas. And these entitled foreign savages are still complaining that they're being mistreated.
[T]hey made a plea deal which meant they would have no criminal record at all so long as they paid for the cost of the cleanup.These babies are getting off easy and still whine that they are being punished too harshly. They really expect to walk away from this with zero consequences so long as they pay back the cost of the cleanup. But why should the school continue to allow students who broke the law and defaced the campus to study there? At least one of them is in trouble at another school after Case Western filed a complaint about him. Again, he acts like this is shocking behavior and not bare minimum consequences for his behavior.
The 11 Case Western Reserve University students and activists indicted for pro-Palestinian vandalism on campus last year have paid more than $350,000 in restitution to the university to clear their names. The payments are part of a legal agreement with the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office under the pre-trial diversion program. If all stipulations are met, the defendants' criminal records will be cleared... Three of the students still face expulsion via university conduct proceedings running parallel to the legal case... Mullin-Vanneste said he was offered his diploma in exchange for "full cooperation," meaning identifying the people involved in the incident. "When I rejected this, they shut down negotiations completely. It doesn't seem to just be about policy or accountability. This is about making an example of us to stifle any dissent, and about silencing the movement for Palestine."

Because, if he DOES invoke it, there is the possibility of being jailed without possibility of bail. You don’t get a phone call. Or an attorney, none of that stuff.

Orwell called this in 1984 too. "It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy."
It's dogma among the right, especially the Christian right, that men need women to civilize them. I don't think that's true. Consider that they are the mass baby-murders and the genital mutilators. Women need men to civilize and contain them. Otherwise we get what we're seeing now in terms of rampant cultural degeneration.

NBC10 Boston
Suffolk Assistant District Attorney Olivia Izzi asked for $5,000 bail, but Treseler went even higher, setting bail at $7,500, noting that (Haley) McIntyre (age 24, of Dorchester) had just been before the court about a year earlier on a disturbing the peace charge.
Treseler took particular exception to defense attorney Kylah Clay's argument that MacIntyre shouldn't be banned from Boston Common because 'they' need to attend classes at Emerson. He said he has no problem with 'them' attending classes, but said 'they' can walk around the Common. 🤣

It's actually common in property-damage cases that the prosecution agrees to a no-jail plea (or even dropping the charges altogether) that includes full or close to full restitution. The property owner who was damaged almost always prefers this outcome, because he gets money to repair.
That even happens in cases involving assault, at least back in the old days when my dad was a criminal defense lawyer. Guys would get into a fight, one would get the worst of it, and the other guy would pay $x and the prosecutor would drop it.
I think in many states there are even new rules requiring an attempt to make it about restitution rather than jail time.
For these motherfuckers, though? I would throw them out of the fucking country. But the prosecutors might not have had much of a choice.

If they want their transcripts, say "we have no record of this student ever attending this college."
See, they don't have to pay a dime for the damages they caused, we'll just take back the degrees and keep the fees they paid in compensation.
I don't actually think that is unfair.
When I was in college, a student put soap into the school fountain, which then proceeded to suds up. They caught the kid, and he had to pay to clean the fountain, AND was placed on academic probation. And nobody batted an eye.

In September, the U.S. military attacked a Venezuelan speedboat carrying 11 people. Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.
“I totally support his strategy,” Machado said. “And I’ve said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It’s courageous. It’s visionary.”

Ilya Shapiro: Impeach the Dangerous, Soft-on-Political-Assassinations Judge Who Gave the Man Who Planned to Murder Three Supreme Court Justice Just 8 Years in Prison
And remember -- Biden judge Deborah Boardman premised giving this would-be triple Supreme Court assassins a sentence far below federal sentencing guidelines because he decided in the past couple of years that he's Akshually a Woman, and Boardman, to stick it to Trump and the conservative justices he plotted to kill, "reasoned" that if he wouldn't be allowed to serve his sentence in women's prison he should get a lesser sentence.
This is straight-up incitement to leftwing transgender assassination, letting transgender killers -- who have murdered children and adults recently -- that Love Is Love, as long as you kill the right people. Ilya Shapiro is usually pretty milquetoast but he sees this as the winking approval of left-wing assassins that it is. (By the way, "assassin" can mean either a killer or an attempted killer. It is correct to call this man an assassin.)Via John Sexton. Sexton quotes another jurist on the need for impeachment.
Judge Deborah Boardman's lenient sentencing of Nicholas Roske--the man who plotted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh--represents not merely poor judgment but a fundamental breach of judicial responsibility. She should be impeached. I don't say this lightly--and I've never before called for the impeachment of a federal judge. This constitutional mechanism exists to preserve the rule of law from genuine abuses of power, not to punish decisions we disagree with. But when a judge's conduct reveals a disregard for her constitutional duty--and actively endangers the federal judiciary individually and collectively--we must consider the remedy the Framers provided. Roske wasn't a confused protester or an online provocateur. He traveled cross-country with a gun and burglary tools, arriving at Justice Kavanaugh's home in the middle of the night on June 8, 2022, prepared to kill him. He confessed that he acted out of anger over the Court's likely reversal of Roe v. Wade. Were it not for his last-minute hesitation, the United States would have faced its first targeted killing of a Supreme Court justice. Yet Judge Boardman imposed an eight-year sentence, far below federal guidelines and lenient even by the standards of some nonviolent offenses. Such a response to a premeditated assassination attempt on a sitting justice cannot be squared with the seriousness of the crime or the need to deter political violence. The record also suggests that Judge Boardman's leniency was influenced, at least in part, by ideological sympathy. In her sentencing remarks, she cited Roske's mental-health struggles and his alleged transgender status as mitigating factors, noting that one of President Trump's executive orders would affect Roske's ability to receive gender-transition medical care. However sincere her concern, the courtroom is not the place for identity-based indulgence. A judge's duty is to apply the law evenhandedly, not to validate the defendant's self-expression. This case reinforces the growing perception that America has a two-tiered justice system. Conservatives are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for political trespasses--some January 6 defendants were sentenced to more than 20 years--while left-wing violence is rationalized or excused. Had a Trump supporter armed himself to kill Justice Sonia Sotomayor, does anyone think the sentence would have been as light? Judicial legitimacy depends on the assurance that the law applies equally, regardless of a perpetrator's ideology. If a conservative justice's would-be assassin is treated as a victim rather than a criminal because his politics or gender identity align with progressive narratives, then equal protection of the law is a hollow promise. To call for impeachment here is to reaffirm that justice must be blind.
...
Judge Boardman's conduct is doubly alarming against a backdrop of escalating political violence. The assassination of Charlie Kirk; the texted desire for the death of a political rival by Jay Jones (the Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general); and the rise in ideologically motivated intimidation on and off campus reveal the thinning line between rhetoric and violence. Judges should serve as bulwarks against that trend, not its enablers. If the law means anything, it must mean that political violence--against anyone, for any cause--is met not with sympathy, but with justice. I've defended judicial independence my entire career. But independence is not impunity. When empathy eclipses duty and identity politics intrudes into the courtroom, judicial independence is corrupted.
In a year of preposterous district court decisions, this one takes the cake: Boardman gave a slap on the wrist to someone who planned and attempted the worst sort of political terrorism, it seems, because of her ideological sympathies. The decision is so potentially corrosive to our civic peace that Congress would be right to consider impeachment proceedings against Boardman... What Boardman did in the Roske sentencing is different in kind from simply bending the law to rule against a disfavored party; she seems to have openly excused political violence on ideological grounds. She did this both in her substantive sentencing decisions and in her given justifications at sentencing... At sentencing, Boardman reportedly was concerned about whether Roske would be placed in a women's prison and given hormone replacement. She wondered openly whether Roske's claimed transgender status should affect his sentence, and why, three years after the fact, Roske is actually a threat to the public. She observed, in the end, that she was "heartened that this terrible infraction has helped the Roske family accept their daughter for who she [sic] is." Boardman even speculated that Roske's terrorism was seeded in the challenges he had being transgender in a religious family. The left-wing terrorist became the real victim once he announced he was a "she."...The government is appealing this sentencing. But it will first be reviewed by the left-leaning Fourth Circuit. Here's the problem: If the Fourth Circuit affirms, then the next appeal is, of course, to the Supreme Court. Justice Kavanaugh will be pressured to recuse himself because he was the target of this psychopathic assassin. And the assassin planned to kill two other justices -- Coney-Barrett and Alito, if memory serves. Conservative justices do recuse themselves when they have a conflict. (Left-wing justices do not.) So that will mean the case will be decided by the three "conservative" justices who weren't targeted -- including the liberal Roberts -- and his three left-wing allies.

On the other hand, that Justice very much wants to stay alive (presumably).
So I think the Justice has a *right*--a duty, even--to be on the panel to decide the criminal's fate, since the Justice's own life--as well as the lives of his fellow Justices--is in the balance.
I don't see the conflict of interest here.

I have discussed the matter with my colleagues and consulted the Magic 8-Ball of Wisdom.

Person admits to thinking about doing a bad thing?! Where's my guillotine?!
Maybe(?) some good info/analysis from Reddit?
Isn't abandonment not an attempt? Every state, plus the feds, seem to have a different definition of attempt. Virginia needs a significant step. Turning herself in before it had been accomplished would likely be counted as a withdrawal.
Withdrawal is a defense to conspiracy, but not attempt at the federal level. There is no question she satisfied a substantial step.
Voluntary withdrawal and self-reporting are grounds for a downward departure or variance, which is what appears to have happened here. It's asking a lot to go lower when the target was also a judge, but 8 years seems steep given the facts and her obvious need for mental help.
“Hey, if you have a lucid moment, realize you need mental help, and stop, you might salvage a lot of a normal life,” would save more lives than an unwaverable maximum sentence.

Several of the rogue judges are trying to interfere with Trump and team's efforts at 'purging all of the deep state seditionists from federal positions and trying to prevent the bankruptcy' and in fact could themselves be seen as deep state seditionists. It would be nice if the congresscritters would make themselves useful and drop the entire federal judiciary outside SCOTUS.

I don't know what the prospects of appealing a sentencing decision actually are though. I think it's far more likely they decline to review, not because they agree with the sentencing or its reasoning (i would expect something along the lines of "we find this sentence to be ridiculously lenient, and the judge is bad and should feel bad, but we won't/can't change it because of partiality/conflict of interest" if not in the denial itself, then in a concurrence), than that they take the case and let it stand.

Not to let judges off the hook at all but when they approve warrants they typically go off the sworn affidavit of the officer. As we keep finding out, the cops lie their asses off on these things, provide poorly-sourced or nonexistent information, or give them testimony of a paid CI as if it's gospel truth. So while judges need to be held accountable for their sloppy rubber-stamping, there need to be felony false statement and perjury charges for the cops who present the applications.

I doubt that. Federal sentencing guidelines set downward departure criteria for the entire circuit and that would enshrine trannyism as a reason for a softer sentence. Remember, Scotus can always simply Grant cert, Vacate the lower level court decision, and Remand to the lower court to get it right. Aka GVR.

My American predecessors (farm boys from Iowa) went, and described it to me as being served "a bed of pasta, topped with a pile of whatever a net dragged up off the bottom of the ocean." They weren't impressed.

Not to let judges off the hook at all but when they approve warrants they typically go off the sworn affidavit of the officer. As we keep finding out, the cops lie their asses off on these things, provide poorly-sourced or nonexistent information, or give them testimony of a paid CI as if it's gospel truth. So while judges need to be held accountable for their sloppy rubber-stamping, there need to be felony false statement and perjury charges for the cops who present the applications.

Most the the 'judges' signing search warrants like the Mar A Lago POS are actually magistrates who are non lifetime tenured judges to handle misdemeanors, search and arrest warrants, etc. Long time ago prior to 1968, they were called Commissioners.
"Magistrate judges are appointed by a majority vote of the federal district judges of a particular district and serve terms of eight years if full-time, or four years if part-time, and may be reappointed." From wiki.

It's because this is an offense not just against them, but is also an act of insurrection against the United States. Also historically that is the kind of thing that starts civil wars.
In merrye olde England, attacking the King and his top level Officials was what merited being drawn and quartered, in order to discourage the practice.

I use to have that opinion, even as a lover of fish, until I had good ones. Most offerings do not measure up. It's gotta be fresh fish, with a blackened, mild whitefish being best.
Most joints just throw in some deep-fried, breaded fish or shrimp of unknown provenance, throw on some day old veggies and some cream of some young guy only The Blade would eagerly anticipate.
They don't do the genre justice.

US Farm raised or from managed ponds is fine, most of the stuff sold in restaurants if not specified as US Farm Raised is Asian crap from places like the Mekong in China. River catfish take on the stream characteristics which is why they are often called mudfish in the North.
Walmart is one place where you can get US Farm raised catfish both unbreaded filets which are fine with lemon pepper like most fish or breaded.
In some places, Kroger sells breaded catfish for deep or air frying along with hush puppies from US farm raised fish--Delta Pride brand.

Al Gore for inventing the internet?
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 10, 2025 02:11 PM (ynpvh)
Al Gore gets a lot of crap for many things - and deservedly so. However, several people who know something about the history of the internet, like Vint Cerf, Bob Kahn and Marc Andreessen, say that Al Gore actually did a lot to make the modern internet possible, especially from a legislative funding and sponsoring perspective.

It gets weird but federal sentencing law passed in the 80's requires appellate courts to consider excessive downward departures. If a sentence is within the guidelines, then it is presumptively ok. But either upward or downward departures from that sentence range requires a district judge to put the reasons into the opinion in writing for appellate review if needed. US is appealing the sentence and the large downward departure stated reason appears primarily due sex change which to this point has never been AFAIK allowed as a reason in federal sentencing. Saying your sorry might get you a low end of the range, but not a downward departure. So it appears the judge is trying to introduce a new characteristic for downward departures. It has been awhile but there is a category for various departures based on family/personal reasons---none of those, to my knowledge apply to difficulties a troon might face in prison.

In Season 2 of Amazon's Jack Ryan, the CIA was trying to help a liberal female politician defeat the corrupt, conservative (?!!) leader of Venezuela(??!!!). Machado is the real-life analogue to their protagonist, except that she's a conservative. And of course, Maduro is liberal. That season was like a bizzarro version of what is actually happening.

Very old public safety precedents like Jacobson v. Mass (mandatory vaxx even though he had immunity). Lots of old epidemic based state and local laws from the 19th and early 20th century that became superpowered under Covid.
Want to change that, get rid or change those old state laws allowing quarantines, mandatory house or camp arrest, mandatory vaxxes, etc.
Most of the actual tyranny came from states, not the feds so much although they funded the vaxx and shoveled a lot of money to states to allow them to do it.

CIA Operative Abigail Spanberger Doubles Down on Supporting the Child-Murder-Supporting AG Candidate and Letting Class III Sex Offenders Masturabate In Front of Little Girls In Girls Locker Rooms
The left-wing CIA Operative who is totally Not Racist refused to even look at Winsome Earl-Sears during the debate. Not a single glance. Not a single answer to a question. Not a single acknowledgement that there was another human being on the dais with her.
You know, usual left-wing "In this house..." racism. Of course she refused to withdraw her endorsement of Cop Killing Enthusiast Jay Jones, running to be Virginia's top law enforcement official.Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears came out swinging against what she called former Rep. Abigail Spanberger's dodges on calls for fellow Democrat Jay Jones to drop out of the attorney general contest after texts envisioning the murder of a Republican leader came to light. Throughout the debate, Spanberger mostly declined to make eye contact with Earle-Sears and ignored her when she was interrupted. Earle-Sears repeatedly addressed Spanberger directly during both women's answers but did not receive any direct responses in return. Early on, Earle-Sears interrupted Spanberger, asking her to give a direct answer. The Democrat told the moderators she was "aware of these messages" and that they were "absolutely abhorrent." "I denounced them when I learned of them and I will denounce them every chance I get," Spanberger said, as Earle-Sears interjected once more to attempt to press for a straight answer. "I didn't hear an answer on [the Jones] question," co-moderator Deanna Albrittin told Spanberger.Why do we still allow left-wing propagandists to "moderate" debates? The "moderators" attempted to draw a comparison between Spanberger's refusal to call on Jones to withdraw, and Winsome Earl-Sears' backing of Trump. They actually equated Spanberger's endorsement of Jones with Trump's much-abused statement that Liz Cheney wouldn't be so quick to send men to die in wars if she had to face enemy rifles herself. The left-wing moderators demanded she be more forceful in denouncing Trump.
Since Earle-Sears had already called for Jones to drop out, the moderators asked her instead about President Donald Trump's stated "hate" for political opponents after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Earle-Sears later turned to Spanberger and admonished her for refusing to give a yes-or-no answer on Jones, asking whether it would take Jones "pulling the trigger" to actually condemn what he had said about then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah.That exchange below. Note that the CIA Operative stares ahead and even S M I R K S as Earl-Sears asks what it would take for her to disavow Jay Jones.

In the latter regard, moderator Tom Schaad asked Spanberger whether transgender girls born male should be able to use female bathrooms and be on co-ed sports teams. "Nothing is more important to me than their safety and their experience in schools," Spanberger said, before offering a lengthier answer that also cited her experience as a former federal agent investigating crimes against children. "That work, in part, has earned me the endorsement of the Police Benevolent Association," she said. Schaad reiterated the question, saying there had been no direct answer, and later attempted to ask whether Spanberger would rescind an executive order by Gov. Glenn Youngkin laying out a bathroom policy along biological lines. "My opponent will not answer the question because she voted for men nude in girls' locker rooms," Earle-Sears later said.

NEVER FORGET the Loudoun County incident. @DailyCaller
pic.twitter.com/xdVaFPqHT6
A prolific sex offender is accused of exposing himself to women and children in girls' locker rooms at public schools and community centers in Virginia while claiming to be a transgender woman. Richard Cox, a 58-year-old, balding pervert on the highest level of the sex offender registry, appeared in court in Arlington on Thursday and repeatedly insisted he is now a woman and demanded the prosecutor be ordered to stop misgendering him.Even the liberal judge refused to put up with this pervert's bullshit:
However, the judge declined to do so -- noting how dozens of horrified witnesses had seen he was physically still a male when he stripped naked and touched himself in local public locker rooms. In one case, Cox -- whose lengthy rap sheet of sex crimes stretches more than 30 years -- was accused of spying on women while naked in changing rooms shared by a high school that allows people to use bathrooms based on their chosen gender identity.He also was witnessed snapping pictures of the schedule for girls gymnastics -- so he knew when the little girls would be in the lockers.
One disturbed mother also said she and her 5-year-old daughter went to use a public women's locker at a school after a swim class when she saw Cox touching himself while nude in a shower stall with the curtain open, WJLA reported.I'm a woman, bro. Seriously bro I'm a lady, why can't you believe me bro?
Another woman said she and her two daughters, ages 5 and 6, were at the Barcroft Sports and Fitness Center for a gymnastics class when they found Cox naked in the girls' locker room there. A 17-year-old lifeguard who worked at one of the Arlington pools said she witnessed Cox naked in a school locker room -- as did other women who testified at the hearing. The hairy pervert also had child pornography on his phone -- and a schedule for children's gymnastic classes at the Barcroft gym, a detective testified. The same detective found children's swimming lesson schedules for rec centers in neighboring Fairfax County -- where he has also been seen lurking around children, according to the outlet.
Cox is a Tier III sex offender -- the most serious type, which requires a lifetime registration, according to court documents. He was first placed on the registry in 1998, records show. He was arrested in December for allegedly spying on women while naked in the female changing rooms at Arlington's swimming center, which shares facilities with Washington-Liberty High School. Arlington Public Schools allows people to use locker rooms and bathrooms of their choice based on their chosen gender identity.
UNBELIEVABLE. Registered s*x offender Richard Cox has been charged with 22 s*x crimes after he allegedly exposed himself to women and young girls at Arlington Schools and local rec centers.

This is the direct result of SICK policies the school board defended, and that Abigail Spanberger voted to impose nationwide. pic.twitter.com/SyULYD6iLQ
New emails obtained in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveal emails "Riki Cox" sent to an Arlington School Board member late last year. According to Arlington police, prosecutors, and Arlington school staff, "Riki Cox" is an alias that registered sex offender Richard Cox used late last year. Late last year, the Arlington County Public Schools (APS) pool staff allowed Cox, a biological male, to use female locker rooms at two high schools that have pools open to the public outside of school hours because Cox claimed he was a transgender woman. APS's policy allows people to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their gender identity if they so choose. ... According to an email obtained in the FOIA, "Riki Cox" sent an email to Arlington School Board Member Kathleen Clark on October 28, 2024. Cox told Clark that if people complained of a transgender person using the female-designated showers at APS, the complainers should be invited to use single locker rooms, and Cox wanted to know where Clark stood on the issue before Cox cast his vote. ...Spanberger also had her "Biden Moment," babbling nonsensically:
According to the public records request, Clark responded to Cox and touted her work for queer and transgender advocacy, and asked Cox questions about the incident. Cox then followed up with Clark on October 31, 2024, writing that he was offended by pool staff at Washington Liberty High School. "They literally asked me how much longer I was going to be in the shower, and directed other patrons to use the individual changing room while I was in the full locker room," he wrote. "This is again sending the message that a transgender person is a freak and I guess not normal and beautiful like everyone else. There are anti-discrimination laws on both the Federal, State, and County levels including in the Schools to prevent this kind of animosity. Are you going to increase the training of the Washington Liberty Pool staff and/or change their policies to be welcoming or inclusive, or should I be voting for someone else."
Clark responded to Cox on October 31, 2024, "Based on the information that you provided in your first email, I suspect that the locker room etiquette found in bullet #3 of the APS Aquatics Update email shown in the screenshot below was an issue. I hope that you did not experience transphobic statements from the staff. You should be able to use the showers and changing rooms that you are most comfortable using."

I think part of the reason we are seeing momentum to the GOP isn't because the GOP is going great things (putting aside Trump and MAGA). The GOP still licks ass.
Part of the reason is that normal people -- even classical Democraps -- are finally seeing how lunatic insane the current Democrap party is. This is not the party of JFK or Clinton or even Obama. It's a criminal organization of the most degenerate perverts, radicals, junkies, flunkies, and sex pests in the country.

This is such a clear choice, you don't need to watch. Either you support the maga authoritarian takeover of the Republic or you don't. The AG failed to join the lawsuit on the illegal withholding of grants and cost the state billions already.
I can’t understand why Trump/GOP slept on this race with so much in the balance. You would think Musk would support Sears whose only issue is trans hate that musk loves.
They "slept on it" because it's clear the GOP had no chance of winning the governor's mansion this year
You were spot on. Sears was insufferabale. And call me woke, but I think it’s wildly sexist to make Spanberger answer for Jay Jones’ actions. They’re NOT running mates.
My take: A bit of a train wreck for Spanberger (who I support). She should have been better prepared for the Jay Jones question and really lost on the boys in girls locker room questions. I’m not sure it will matter in the election but I’m disappointed.

The Sex Offender registry is mostly a useless collection of outdated residences. The registries are maintained with all the customary competence and diligence as any other gov't agency.
Some states' registries are better than others. But a lot of the reporting is voluntary and susceptible to fraud. It's usually only after one of these perverts commits another sex crime that people learn a sex offender was living 25 feet from a school.
NY is actually pretty good at it. I don't know how good VA is.

Fathers have. And some were arrested or harassed or treated like they were the crazy ones. I think the best way fathers can protected their daughters in today's world is not that different from how fathers (and mothers) have always protected daughters (and sons): by repeatedly drumming it into their heads that there are sick, dangerous people in the world, you must avoid them at all costs, and you must protect yourself at all times. I got a version of this speech many times as a kid.

None of this is an accident or just the behavior of wackos. It's entirely on purpose.

Part of their behavior is strategic provocation. If any guy flattened him, he'd be thrilled. Now he's the victim, he gets to have the guy arrested and prosecuted. Further, the troon will sue and win. Next, the leftie politicians will demand laws to enshrine troons as a protected class.
None of this is an accident or just the behavior of wackos. It's entirely on purpose.

When my niece was about 13 she was curious about gays and Suzy dutifully joined the PFLAG movement to support her. Then the little tyke dated a black kid after high school and Suzy was so enthralled by that (that kid was awesome, military family) she expected our dad to flip out. He didn't.
Niece married a femme boy teacher that she can lord over while mom lives with our 45 yo nephew that plays video games all day and night.

The guy who does something goes to prison, gets financially ruined, maybe or maybe not makes it out alive. Cannot support his family for the time he is imprisoned, and his family barely gets to see him during the time that he is in prison. The troon gets to walk around free. So maybe the tough-talking keyboard vigilantes need to think about who actually wins in this situation instead of posturing.

It's about women's romance books being absolutely crazy, with women in sexual (and graphic) relationships with minotaurs, demons, orcs, etc. She mentioned that cosplayers, furries, and the authors of the books have been grabbed and groped at cons by horny middle-aged gooner women lol.

I haven't seen her video, but I'm aware of the phenomenon of outright bestiality exploding in the woman's "romance" category. They have an entire fucking genre for it, called "Monster Romance." On the one hand, I kinda get it -- how many men have lusted after hot female aliens and monsters like vampires and succubi? But women's monster romance is different; they are literally fucking animals that bear little resemblance to humans.

That is correct. "Transgenders" are not normal. They are men and women with mental disorders.
There are anti-discrimination laws on both the Federal, State, and County levels including in the Schools to prevent this kind of animosity.
This is the fucking problem right here. He's right that there are laws on the books to grant protection to these freaks. SCOTUS case Bostic v Clayton County being the prime one that probably all others are based on. That needs to be overturned asap and "transgenderism" needs to be declared a mental disorder, not some "identity" worthy of protection under the law.

Look up an old sci fi book by James Gunn--Kampus. It proposed just such a dystopia. Some of Ben Bova's books also hinted at it. Gunn, I think was an English professor moonlighting at times writing sci fi and fantasy.
The Witching Hour has some interesting short stories including one about beer with some interesting features.

Concur.
And that's almost exactly what happened with Youngkin when Northam said parents should have absolutely no say in what happens in the classroom.
Will it move the needle? Maybe, but probably not enough.
Spanberger's going to absolutely clean up in NoVa. I anticipate the race being called by 1930 on election day.

I had a team leader name SGT Richard Dickerson. Caught him looking at porn on a government computer while stationed in Germany. Busted him down to E4. He appealed it, and I remember the O6 reading some website stuff in the file, and assuming "dicke titte" must have something to do with his name. Dickerson started to correct him (he was married to a German and spoke it well), but then stopped. I (who also knew German) chimed in that "dicke" just mean "fat", because he was searching for fat titties lol.

FWIW, GOP campaign insiders disagree with your analysis. They moved several million into Sears campaign this week and this is likely to increase the amount. Also seeing GOP pols showing up.
It will hinge on turnout and campaign management at this point about the same as Youngkin.
Also some indications that the shutdown is not really playing out how Dems thought it would and missing paydays next week is likely to increase that pressure rather than inspire bureaucrats to vote.
I think that is why Thune doesn't want Trump to unleash Vought right now.

I suspect that Spanberger's treatment of Black Woman Winsome Sears as a nonperson-

Ole Spanny would've paid more attention to a dog and shown more politeness than she did to Sears.
It was a studied insult to negate Sears humanity.
Hell, I'm not black and even I was pissed off over her lack of common courtesy.
Welp, Black Voters of Virginia, if you want someone who doesn't not see you as human and due less acknowledgement than a dog, Spanberger is your gal.

A popular topic over in X right now--in certain circles--is "Suicidal Empathy".
This is largely a woman's trait and a female-prominent society is susceptible to it.
You have two types of rebellion to it: Traditional men and criminals, who are all about personal power anyway.
Playing a Motte and Bailey game associated "toxic" with "masculinity". ("We were just talking about masculinity in a *toxic* form!") Made female-ism reenforced all this mal-empathy.

US President Donald Trump said Friday he no longer feels the need for a summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this month, slamming Beijing for hostile trade practices and threatening "massive" tariffs.
In a lengthy and unexpected Truth Social post, Trump railed against China imposing export controls on rare earth minerals -- a critical component in modern technology.
"Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile," Trump said in the post, which he sent as he headed for a medical check-up at a military hospital near Washington.

The entire subtext of Bram Stoker's Dracula was repressed sexuality in the late Victorian era. This idea that all that women needed was a little bite to go completely over to the dark side - That's why it was so popular.

A lot of the polling out there is purposely done to scare off donors, volunteers, and demoralize supporters of GOP. If a poll has a 'media' partner, it is most assuredly junk. Reliable polls do political polls as a loss leader to get other business rather than getting money from the media for narrative supporting polls.
And Fox has the worst polling record, btw, of any of the media polls consistently. And that is because their director of polling operations is a hard core Dem leftist and has been since the Obama years. That is one among many reasons never to trust Fox/Murdoch outlets for any news.

The elegance corresponds to the side of the woman who wants emotional refinement. The power and even his ability to entrance appeals to a woman's inner need to submit.

I never realized how much better things would sound if Brian Blessed shouted them.
He had about 5 minutes of screen time in Prince of Thieves as Robin's father but I think he had the most memorable scene besides Alan Rickman. Completely outshone Costner.

I think that is a stupid move if they plan that. It plays into Sears hands by being countered by that Spanberger supporter sign about water fountains.
Spannberger is a candidate of the whole move to identity politics by Dems which like coalitional politics, requires juggling different constituencies--if she denounces the unhinged AG candidate, she loses angry blacks and true believer leftists, if she denounces troons, she loses the alphabet vote and the true believer leftists. That makes her vulnerable to anything like being accused of racism, supporting murder, and males in female locker rooms in schools. Majority of voters hate that shit so she has to lie and dissemble about her true positions.

Had an uncle by marriage named Sargent. He was an E-5 in Vietnam.
Also had a cadre sergeant in AIT named Minor. So he was SGT Minor. For a brief moment I wondered if I had missed a rank when learning them in basic. He may have end up being SGT Major Minor.

Cheers to Tim and Gwen Walz
The governor and first lady rolled up their sleeves and publicly received their COVID-19 and flu vaccines on Wednesday. I was reminded of the importance of leaders promoting and protecting public health while seated among a trio of ill-informed vaccine naysayers at a wedding last weekend. You know the type: They’ve rarely cracked a book since college, but they confidently claim to have done their own medical research into vaccine safety. My seatmates proudly claimed to take their medical cues from formerly brain-worm-infected Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Fortunately, here in Minnesota we have an elected leader who turns to and trusts scientists at our world-class medical institutions. Walz is not only taking the vaccines himself, but he’s also fighting to ensure we continue to have access to the shots.

The culture starts to cope, too. I can tell you of 3 things young women in a local high school are doing: going off-campus for lunch and using those bathrooms. Wearing menstrual pads (not tampons) in case of accidents. Going without water period to get through the day. Reported problems of dehydration.

MORNING RANT: The Year Without Hurricanes, Despite NOAA Predicting an “Above Normal” Hurricane Season
NOAA’s outlook for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which goes from June 1 to November 30, predicts a 30% chance of a near-normal season, a 60% chance of an above-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season. The agency is forecasting a range of 13 to 19 total named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher). Of those, 6-10 are forecast to become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3-5 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). NOAA has a 70% confidence in these ranges.As shown in the graph below from Accuweather, the frequency of tropical storms and hurricanes is highest from mid-August to late-September. To have an above-normal hurricane season, the peak months of hurricane season should have been very active.
According to Michael Lowry, the period August 29–September 16 has never before gone without a named storm or tropical depression since satellite data began in 1966. On average, four named storms and two hurricanes form each season during this period.It was in 1966 that satellites made it possible to identify and monitor tropical storms beyond the range of hurricane hunter aircraft. This obviously increased the number of named storms, since those storms that spun in the open Atlantic and then dissipated had previously gone unnamed. But in 2025, there was an unprecedented lack of activity in the Atlantic during the peak of hurricane season.
Exactly one named storm has made landfall in the U.S. at all this year. Tropical Storm Chantal had winds exceeding 39 mph for less than 24 hours before it drifted ashore in South Carolina on July 6. That was over three months ago, and the season is now winding down.
The only other storm to hit the mainland was Tropical Storm Barry, which had max winds of just 40 mph, and was a named storm for only a few hours as it drifted ashore in Mexico. Before climate apocalysm necessitated the naming of every gust of wind exceeding 38 mph, Barry would likely not have been considered a tropical storm. In total, there have been ten named storms (as I type this on October 9), six tropical storms and four hurricanes. Other than harassing some islands, the four hurricanes have just drifted around the Atlantic before dissipating. Regarding the tropical storms, they have been minimal storms at best. Per NOAA’s page https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/ documenting this season’s storms, none of the six tropical storms had max winds that even exceeded 55 mph. One of the hurricanes that fizzled out in the open Atlantic, Hurricane Erin, at one point had maximum winds of 140 mph, making it a category 4 storm (on a scale of 1 to 5). That was enough for the media to fire up the climate hysteria and frame it as perhaps the worst hurricane in history: “Hurricane Erin is one of the fastest rapidly intensifying storms in Atlantic history” [CNN – 8/17/2025] “‘Near historical’ Hurricane Erin among largest storms ever recorded in the Atlantic at over 500 miles wide” [NY Post – 8/21/2025] Hurricane season runs through the end of November, and there is still time for some more storms to blow up, and possibly even make landfall in the continental U.S. But that doesn’t change the fact that this has been an historically mild hurricane season. Hurricanes are an amazingly destructive force of nature that have always existed, and always will. They need to be taken very seriously. An abnormally light season – or a busier than normal season – have nothing to do with humans engaging in carbon-fueled lifestyles. The fact that our national weather agency employs scientifically-compromised partisans posing as weather experts and pushing climate hysteria is extremely dangerous. When it comes to hurricanes, we need NOAA to be objective and honest. The fact that it puts out propaganda each year to scare people before every hurricane season is discrediting, and it’s a huge disservice to American citizens who deserve a reputable weather agency.[buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]Last year, Bill Nye the Science Guy said the best way to stop hurricanes was to vote for Kamala Harris.

Any actual scientist would look at that line and say "hmm, the evidence suggests (assuming this temperature report is true) that above average Atlantic Ocean temperatures reduce the chances of hurricanes, rather than increasing them."

All depends on sea temperatures and shear winds. But each day decreases the likelihood of a monster storm as the seas and air temps gets a bit colder due to less solar heating. Less water vapor, less heat in ocean, weaker storms.
That being said, given that far too many people live, like the Boswash corridor, very close to oceans, even a category 1 storm can cause horrific flooding and wind damage. The Perfect Storm of 1991 took place the week of Halloween for example.

The NOAA does not provide confidence intervals for its hurricane season predictions, because most of the public would not understand, and because the uncertainty is so great that the upper bound would be over twice the predicted number, and the lower bound would be less than zero.

United States: 9 wins
Venezuela: 7 wins
Puerto Rico: 5 wins
Philippines: 4 wins
India, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden: 3 wins each
The Philippines probably would have had one more win, if a number of years ago the frontrunner didn't give one of the dumbest answers in the finals of all time.

Lots of shipping traffic, though, to provide their reports and sightings. It isn't as though we were sending off the ocean-borne on just a hope and a prayer.
One book I recommend is Isaac's Storm, the story of the Cat 5 that leveled Galveston in 1900. What I found fascinating was the description of the hurricane predictive and tracking capabilities of that age. Even with satellites, the only real improvement we've made since then is that we can now give a more exact latitude and longitude of the storm center.

I read a book once, I think it was David Toomey's Stormchasers, which talks about early attempts to gather data about hurricanes. Yes, the ships near a hurricane could tell it was there, but they couldn't tell you much about it because they were busy sailing the other way. Satellites really changed the game on storm tracking and prediction.

Joseph Mallord William Turner
A seascape, it shows the crew of a fishing boat engaging in business with a huckster in a smaller boat nearby. In the distance a steam ship can be seen. (Wikipedia summary)
It's obvious why Turner is considered "The Painter of Light." The painting is huge so I'll be content to look at it.
Thanks; nice lead in to the weekend.
(To this day, I can't imagine fishing for a living from small boats. 😬 Or being a Tug captain. Or being a member of U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Safety and Security Teams. All blessings.)

Interruption is a debate tactic when the other debater is relying on programmed responses which Spanberger most assuredly is doing. Too many people rely on rote memorization of talking points, etc. rather than actually listening and reacting which is why Charlie Kirk was good at beating college students. That approach requires deeper knowledge than what is put on a bumper sticker.
But interruption occurs for the same reason that occasionally you burn a fairly useless objection simply to interrupt the flow of a direct or cross examination of a witness. It derails the preparation of a direct witness and attorney and it stops a cross so that your witness has time to recover or to stop them from inadvertently blowing themselves up by saying too much.

Political interested people react differently in debate coverage than those that are casual. And debates are mainly for casual voters rather than the politically interested (who already have firm ideas about how they are going to vote).
And the aftereffects get more play than the debate itself--e.g. newly cut commercials with Spanberger filibustering on trans. Doesn't work the other way with Spanberger cutting commercials showing Sears as interrupting. Replaying that means your candidate is too weak and non assertive to stop it.
Spanberger is and was a crappy AWFL candidate that only the Dem machine can harf up; she won reelection by fraud most probably in 2020, she wasn't apparently very good at her CIA job, and she toadying up to Muzzies in the past.
Remember how Biden was a grinning jackass in the VP debate against Ryan. It cut against Ryan more than it did for Biden. Made Ryan look weak.
It can be an effect when the candidates are of mixed gender but not relevant here.

Nobody wants a return to real debating more than me, but both sides agreed to a set of rules, which included letting the other person speak. In this case, letting Spanberger filibuster and lie was not helping her, but that's beside the point.
Right now, we DO have competing monologues with rebuttals as substitutes for debates, and the sooner we move away from them, the happier I'll be.

It can happen because it is difficult to answer and listen at the same time. Formal debates though are almost always prepped in advance including tactics. Dunno if Spanberger previously debated in her congressional races but sometimes oppo research goes to those opponents to figure out what threw the opponent in earlier debates.
Candidate prep is a pretty serious and grueling matter because few people are naturally good candidates for office so the candidates have to be prepped for hostile media, ad hoc exchanges with hecklers, debates, and other campaign interactions. Politics are not easy in the fishbowl times we live in today with 24/7 easy recording in public and private, endless social media posts, and texting.

And even if they watched the debate, the memories of it are soon replaced by the ads replaying Spanberger's filibuster. That is why cops should never allow witnesses to talk with each other before questioning--dominant personalities tend to crowd out and replace other less assertive witnesses memories of an event.

How about this one? Jay-Z thug billionaire
AI Overview
"Thug Billionaire" is not an established nickname for Jay-Z, but the term aptly describes him as a testament to his rise from humble, often challenging, origins to becoming hip-hop's first billionaire, transforming adversity into massive wealth through savvy business acumen and an unwavering drive for success. The phrase encapsulates his journey from the "Brooklyn Projects" to a global financial empire built on music, entertainment, and ownership of luxury brands and tech investments, all while maintaining a connection to his "thug life" roots, which inspired his music and business ventures.

This is where a boycott could actually be effective.
Just make boycotting the SB Half-Time Show a nationwide thing.
Specifically, let the sponsors know who are paying millions for that time slot that no one will watch their crappy commercials because they're supporting Bad Bunny.
If no one buys, or if everyone retracts their commercials for that slot, then it's adios to Bad Bunny.
On the other hand, the SB might just triple down on their stupidity. That's always a possibility.

Social media has a bad enough effect on society, and it can make pols worse in that they occasionally spoke the truth in the past because digging up old quotes etc was hard to do but with social media, it is easy. Thus we get the prepackaged robot candidates that always seem inauthentic because they are so risk averse.
You don't dare have a 'bad' day where it can be seen and blasted across social media. Trump is one of a kind because he has always lived in a fishbowl of paparazzi and media klieg lights. And authenticity is his brand to his supporters despite giving headaches to policy wonks.

Few if any people are interested in 2-3 hour Lincoln Douglas type debates nowadays. Long winded political stump speeches in the 19th century used to be thought of as entertaining which is why Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was panned by many as too short, simplistic, and lacking of style in content and delivery. They compared Lincoln to the other speaker that day, Edward Everett, who specialized in long winded stemwinders.

Spannberger is a candidate of the whole move to identity politics by Dems which like coalitional politics, requires juggling different constituencies--if she denounces the unhinged AG candidate, she loses angry blacks and true believer leftists, if she denounces troons, she loses the alphabet vote and the true believer leftists. That makes her vulnerable to anything like being accused of racism, supporting murder, and males in female locker rooms in schools. Majority of voters hate that shit so she has to lie and dissemble about her true positions.

The Morning Report — 10/10/25
Jonathan Rinderknecht, the suspected arsonist arrested this week in connection to the destructive Pacific Palisades fire earlier this year, allegedly ranted about President Trump and climate change on social media.Meh, a prediction like that doesn't make one the offspring of Kreskin and Jeanne Dixon. It just means you've been paying attention to what's been in our face for years. And not to beat a dead dromedary, while it is certainly a wonderful thing that the Israeli hostages who have been abused at the blood-soaked claws and fangs of their bestial Islamic captors for just over two years are perhaps to be freed at any moment thanks in no small part due to the efforts of both President Trump, and by the fact that the IDF has utterly devastated Hamas and perhaps some of its leadership not just in Gaza but in Iran and Qatar with their recent airstrikes and other secret and not so secret ops to decapitate their top leadership Now that said, the big question is what did Israel have to give up in return for the release of the living hostages and for the remains of the hostages that the savage Muslims no doubt are desecrating by using them as fetishes in the worship of their Satanic deity. And Psaki-Psircling back to my thoughts on paying attention to what has been in our faces for years. This is NOT a hopeful sign at all of things to come.
The United States is reportedly sending 200 troops to Israel to oversee implementation of a ceasefire between Jerusalem and the terror group Hamas. No U.S. troops will be sent into Gaza, according to the Associated Press. The service members will staff a “civil-military coordination center” set up by U.S. Central Command in coordination with partner nations and nongovernmental organizations. The coordination center will monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli security council voted to approve the first phase of a peace proposal on Thursday, officially enacting a ceasefire that includes the release of hostages held by Hamas and a military pullback from Israel. The ceasefire comes after Israel and Hamas negotiators hammered out an initial agreement in the Egyptian seaside city of Sharm el-Sheikh. Israeli and Hamas officials met through negotiators. Foreign diplomats from the United States, Turkey, and other countries converged on Sharm el-Sheikh as the two sides drew close to a deal earlier this week.Does President Trump not remember nor understand the lessons of the Beirut Marine Corps Barracks, Gulf wars 1 and 2 and the complete disastrous debacle of Afghanistan? As I suggested, he seems to not understand nor is able or willing to articulate the nature of Islam itself. That Hamas is allowed to even continue to exist in any way shape or form, is an absolute infamnia. And now we're engaging yet again in nation-building and Democracy Projects. Sorry, Mr. President this is NOT what I voted for the past three elections. And yet, here we and you are.
On Oct 7, 2001, the United States began an ill-fated campaign to ‘nation build’ Afghanistan. Now 24 years after that anniversary and 2 years after the Oct 7 attacks by Hamas, we may be on the cusp of an even worse nation-building program in Gaza that seems to have learned absolutely nothing from the disastrous nation-building operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Right down to resurrecting former UK PM Tony Blair to head ‘nation building’ in Gaza. . . America should not be in Gaza. We should not be sending aid, nation building, policing or negotiating anything in that particular hellhole or anywhere in the Muslim world. If we haven’t learned that lesson after 7,000 dead and over $1 trillion spent, when will we finally learn?The only way it would work would be the absolute prohibition and prevention of the practicing, preaching and teaching of Islam anywhere within 10 billion light years of Planet Earth. And as that sadly is a non-starter, so too is this madness of sending US troops to Gaza. Let Israel turn it into a glass parking lot, or retake it and reincorporate it back into Israel proper, as to have abandoned it 20 years ago in the name of land for peace was as much of an insane folly by the Sharon government as is our nation-building delusions. On that note, we once again sadly and perfectly segue into the other head of the Hydra attempting to devour the last vestiges of America as founded: Democrat/Leftist/Socialist/Progressive Satanism here in the good old US of A:
We’re talking millions upon millions of Democrats who’ve been radicalized to believe that burning buildings, terrorizing neighbors, and killing opponents are reasonable acts. This adds still more evidence to the pile about the violent tendencies of “peace and love” leftists who now control the Democrat party – something we have been tracking at I&I for years. (See, for example, “Will Left’s Violent Tendencies Lead To U.S. Breakup Or Dictatorship?” March 16, 2021, or “Left-Wing Rage: Don’t Pretend It Doesn’t Exist,” Aug. 18, 2023.) Just a couple of weeks ago, researchers found that in the first six months of this year, left-wing terrorist attacks were already outpacing those from the far right – before Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the spate of anti-ICE violence, and other targeted political attacks by leftists. What’s more, there’s evidence that the left’s attraction to violence isn’t just a result of their fears about Donald Trump or their concern about the future of democracy, but their warped moral compass. One research paper found that “conservatives have more favorable opinions of liberals than liberals have of conservatives, and thus conservatives extend more empathy to liberals in times of need.” Translated: leftists have a strong (but wholly misguided) sense of moral superiority over conservatives, which can easily be used to justify violence.As I and many others have stated over the past few years, we're not voting our way out of this, and that despite the miracle ascendancy of Donald Trump and please God MAGA as a bona fide movement that represents the point at which American society rejected the insanity of the Leftist enterprise to transmogrify this great Republic into just another Socialist mass grave. With that in mind, I once again defy CBD's image of me as depressive and actually present a hopeful sign:
Black Chicagoans are taking to social media to welcome President Donald Trump’s deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and national guard troops to the Windy City to clean up the city’s streets and deport criminal illegals. . . While some may dismiss Bovino’s video as “propaganda,” there is no denying that many members of Chicago’s black community are grateful for his presence and that of ICE or the National Guard in their city. One Chicago resident, who says she is the wife of a retired Chicago Police officer, welcomed Trump’s immigration efforts and called for local Democrats to be “held accountable” for the dangerous sanctuary policies that have so badly impacted Chicago.I wonder what Black Chicagoans would say about this particular Black Chicagoan:
Chicago’s Confederate Mayor, Brandon Johnson, was asked Wednesday if he would want an illegal alien deported if that illegal had raped his wife. The insurrectionist refused to answer.

Meaning, if you believe that this war is, in fact, a genocide, then you should think a literal genocide is ending right now. But it’s odd. There’s no celebration. No D-Day–style parades. All the Ceasefire Now accounts are totally quiet when confronted with a ceasefire, like, now. Strange. I’m assuming maybe they haven’t heard the news. Maybe there’s no Wi-Fi on the flotilla. Or could it be that these peaceniks actually want a huge and very violent war in which Israel is destroyed and Jews are scattered into various global subjugations? Hmm.

ABC News, 'Nobel Peace Prize goes to Venezuelan dissident Maria Machado: 'Democracy is in retreat'
The Nobel Committee called her "a brave and committed champion of peace." By Jon Haworth October 10, 2025
In part, "LONDON -- The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for her work "promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela" and her push to move the country from dictatorship to democracy.
Jorgen Watne Frydens, the Nobel Committee chair, spoke broadly about the advance of authoritarian regimes in the world and retreat of democracy in the announcement."

The 200 US troops don’t bother me so much as I read they will not go into Gaza but stay in Israel proper. But I do hope they’re only there temporarily

Jerusalem, 9 October 2025, updated 2 hours ago
In part, "israeli troops have begun withdrawing from parts of Gaza, after the Israeli government approved the first phase of US President Donald Trump's ceasefire and hostage return deal.
Under the agreement, first unveiled by Trump last week and signed following days of intense negotiations in Egypt, Israel now has 24 hours to withdraw to an agreed line within the Palestinian territory.
Hamas will then have 72 hours to release all remaining Israeli hostages being held captive in Gaza, while Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian detainees."
This time, we mean business. 🙏

i'm cautiously pessimistic on the ceasefire. I have a hope, and it's small, that in this endeavor, PDJT has confirmed to the leaders of hamas that if they DON'T settle the fuck down, they WILL be removed from future consideration. painfully...
after all, some on here have noted, if hamas gets their "own" country, the second they attach israel its an actual war between states and israel can wipe them out.
so i'm hopeful, but still firmly believe that hamas will fuck it up post haste...

In a fair debate, with questions that are not one-sided, Dems flail. Winsome made the bathroom question personal by asking what Abby would do if her own daughter came home saying a man watched her undress in the locker room...it was a killer moment for Winsome.
Again, Winsome needed to convince folks she was for real, and did. And she helped the whole ticket by doing so (b/c not a lot of split ticketing here, although I expect the AG race to break that norm somewhat). Now, we need to convince like-minded folks to get out of their house this month (or on Election Day, but this month is better, b/c then they are in and not able to be changed) and vote.
I felt 2021, we'd win. I said it here. In 2025, after last night, I still don't think we win all the races, but what I saw as hopeless, I don't think is anymore. I see a D party now literally running scared, and that gives me hope.

Minutes ago, the following was posted by Amir Tsarfati on Instagram:’
Hamas publishes “God, let the ceasefire be like the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah—followed by conquest, like the conquest of Mecca.”
Tsarfati adds: (Context: The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was a temporary peace agreement signed by Mohammed with the Quraysh tribe, which he later broke before conquering Mecca. The statement implies that Hamas views the ceasefire as a tactical pause before a future “victory” or takeover.)

In part, "ROME — Pope Leo XIV urged labor union leaders from Chicago on Thursday to advocate for immigrants and welcome minorities into their ranks, weighing in as the Trump administration crackdown on immigrants intensifies in the pontiff’s hometown.
“While recognizing that appropriate policies are necessary to keep communities safe, I encourage you to continue to advocate for society to respect the human dignity of the most vulnerable,” Leo said.
The audience was scheduled before the deployment of National Guard troops to protect federal property in the Chicago area, including a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building that has been the site of occasional clashes between protesters and federal agents.
Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, who accompanied the labor leaders, said that Leo was well aware of the situation on the ground." (More)

Got our California mail-in ballots. It is demoralizing. I think every California election is stolen, at this point. Our slimy governor is spearheading the completion of transforming this into a strict one-party state. Deranged far left Democrats in charge everywhere, even out in rural areas, even out in the piney woods.
The Democrat legislature will continue to spend money they don't have, fail to provide basic services, and fight for the right of wetbacks and felons to displace, rob, and murder us.
Shit. I guess I'll mail in my ballot. I'm not sure why anymore.

When I was about nine years old or so (I always associate it with Ford's pardon of Nixon, so I think it was around that time), I realized that I was going to die some day, and got really bummed out about it. My family talked to me, and said, basically, "it happens to everybody, and you can't control it anyway." So, that's when I learned to accept it.

Top Story
- Intel has taken the wraps off Panther Lake, its new laptop processor family due in January. (Tom's Hardware)
A full announcement is expected at CES and general availability by the end of the January.
It includes new performance and efficiency cores, a low power core that isn't described in detail yet, and a new Xe3 graphics engine that provides a preview of the upcoming Celestial discrete GPUs.
Also, while Lunar Lake was one size fits all, there are three different versions of Panther Lake:
The cheapest version has four P cores and four LP cores, four Xe3 graphics cores, supports soldered or socketed RAM, and has eight PCIe 4.0 and four PCIe 5.0 lanes.
The version for high-end laptops with dedicated graphics has four P cores, eight E cores, four LP cores, four Xe3 graphics cores, supports soldered or socketed RAM, and has eight PCIe 4.0 and twelve PCIe 5.0 lanes.
And finally a model for fast laptops without dedicated graphics has four P cores, eight E cores, four LP cores, twelve Xe3 graphics cores, supports soldered RAM only, and has eight PCIe 4.0 and four PCIe 5.0 lanes.
So you has to pick and choose. There is no model that gives you everything.
Though potentially the last of these can support CAMM2 modules to allow for expandable LPDDR5X RAM, and four lanes of PCIe 5.0 is enough to drive a mid-range laptop GPU.
It's also supposed to user 30% less power than Lunar Lake thanks to the move from a 3nm to 1.8nm process.
Tech News
- Intel's Xe3 integrated graphics in Panther Lake could deliver 50% more performance than Lunar Lake's Xe2 because there's 50% more cores. (Tom's Hardware)
Big if true.
- It only takes 250 poisoned documents to drive an AI insane. (The Register)
According to a study by Anthropic, it is remarkably easy to craft malicious data that will turn any LLM into a train wreck. Testing on Meta's Llama and GPT 3.5, as well as the open source LLM Pythia, this worked 100% of the time.
What's more, larger models offered no increase in protection. The poison pill of 250 documents worked on 13 billion parameter models just as it did on 600 million parameter models.
- The Bank of England and the IMF are now warning of the dangers or the AI bubble. (Tom's Hardware)
Great. Now I'm on the side of the bubble.
- AMD and Sony have highlighted features coming in the the next generation of RDNA graphics cores. (WCCFTech)
Radiance cores (for enhanced ray tracing support), neural arrays (for AI), and universal compression will all be coming to RDNA5 and, presumably, the PlayStation 6 - because AMD designs the chip inside the PlayStation.
- The specs of the next-generation Xbox may have just been leaked. Probably have, because they're not all that exciting. (Notebook Check)
Three full-size Zen 6 cores, eight smaller Zen 6c cores (about 75% of the clock speed), 68 RDNA5 cores, and 48GB of GDDR7 RAM on a 192-bit bus.
48GB of RAM will change things for developers, and the jump from Zen 2 to Zen 6 will speed things up. Moving from 52 RDNA2 cores to 68 RDNA5 cores will provide... Twice the graphics performance? Something like that.
And yes: AMD designs the chip inside the Xbox as well.
- The $10 billion recipe for disaster. (Tech Trenches)
Building good software costs me money.
Building bad software costs you money.
It's not that hard to figure out how we got here.
- New York City has sued social media companies over the youth mental health crisis... In New York City. (Gizmodo)
The social media companies should sue New York City over the exact same problem.

Last night I went out to the pipe trunk show at the local pipe/cigar shop. There were beautiful pipes for sale by three or four manufacturers, but most of them were priced much higher than I usually am willing to spend. Say, 2.5x to 3x higher. So I hung out, had some crackers and cheese, smoked a couple of different blends offered by attendees, and let it go at that.
So, whassup?

To be fair, there were a lot of things that eluded Biden.
The names of Senators.
Identifying what State he as in.
The stage exit
Etc.

It's no secret that Donald Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is among a handful of world leaders who have nominated the US president to the award committee in Norway.
But as we've reported earlier, Trump may have to wait a little while longer as nominations for this year's title closed in January, just as his second term in the Oval Office was getting going.

2) The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke anyway. When it goes to the likes of Carter, Gore and Obama, you know it's been completely discredited.

The social media companies should sue New York City over the exact same problem."
No one has more bad things to say about NYC than me. However, they may be right. With the epidemic of people going postal, as we old folks say, it has not escaped notice that the social media companies built an outrage machine. I'd bet most of the crazy shit we see is people addicted to social media and literally overdosing on outrage.

You'll need an anti-virus also. Be aware that Malware Bytes often interacts poorly with anti-virus (they scan files because the other one scanned the file so it wastes a lot of resources).
Be aware that, eventually, things like web browsers will stop supporting Win10 and, eventually, web pages will go wonky.
All that being said, yes... you can stay on Win10. There are people who still use Win7.

Hola!
I had to step out of an on-line meeting to "reach a consensus on a set up plan" for the halls where we will stage our annual show next month. An "amiable" blowhard with a couple of years' experience under his belt sought to throw out a decade's worth of experience of how to accomplish e task within our time limits in favor of his own "well considered and thought out revision" that catered to a coterie of whiners who insisted that their area's needs were paramount. His whole argument hinged on him asserting time and again that "surely we can agree that an area with fewer items to be put in place will be completed long before the other area with more items to be put in place". It was dishonest all the way down and I had to step out several times because I was getting enraged by that dishonesty.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - October 9, 2025 [Doof]
Where It All Went Wrong Former Bud Light consultant speaks out on how brand lost its way
A former Bud Light consultant behind some of the company’s biggest ads is speaking out about how he feels the brand lost its way and what they can learn from American Eagle’s Sydney Sweeney ad. John Immesoete, who worked as the Group Creative Director for DDB Chicago 1995-2005, was the force behind some of Bud Light’s iconic spots, including the Real Men of Genius campaign, told Fox News Digital that he attributes the takeover by InBev as a turning point for the brand. "When InBev took over, they basically acted like they knew everything better than anyone else. They had their own ways of doing things. There was a famous quote they had with some guys in a meeting where they were showing all the work that was done in the past and there were a lot of Clyde sales commercials that were quite famous. Somebody at Inbev had said, ‘tell me this, how do horses help sell beer?’ It's like well, if you don't know, you don't know." Immesoete, who has just released a documentary "Once There Was a Brewery" which tracks the history of Bud Light and what led up to their catastrophic partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, said the beer company’s success can be attributed to an ethos spearheaded by its co-founder Adolphus Busch that "making friends is our business." He said that by partnering with Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, the brand needlessly alienated many of its fans and much of the country. *** The beer maker's trouble grew when Bud Light advertising executive Alissa Heinerscheid, who left the company following the disastrous ad, said that Bud Light’s brand was categorized by "fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor" in a 2023 interview. Immesoete said that her comments potentially did more damage than the ad itself. He feared that the Mulvaney ad may have done irreparable damage to the Bud Light brand. "I don’t know if they can ever come back from being considered the biggest disaster in marketing advertising history," Immesoete told Fox News Digital. Immesoete contrasted Bud Light’s Mulvany ad with American Eagle’s Sweeney ad, which saw the buxom blonde actress donning American Eagle Jeans with the slogan "Sydney Sweeney has good genes." This ad also triggered a social media firestorm, but in this instance, Immesoete said the backlash actually helped the brand.Decent article, worth checking out. Other than referring to Dylan Mulvaney as "her" repeatedly.

Most people flock to Yellowstone, Yosemite, or the Grand Canyon, but the least visited national parks offer something just as remarkable: solitude. Skip the crowds and discover the underrated beauty of coral reefs and mountain peaks. These lesser-known gems of the National Park Service provide a unique national park experience without the crowds, showcasing pristine wilderness, dramatic landscapes, and rich ecosystems.Four are in Alaska. Makes sense that they'd be among the least visited. Check out the list and let us know if you've been to any of them! ----- Here's a plug for one that wasn't on the list. This National Park Has Some of the Country’s Best Night Sky Views
I become downright euphoric whenever I spot a shooting star, and standing beneath the towering sandstone in Capitol Reef National Park, I spotted dozens of them. It was the last leg of a four-state stargazing road trip—and what a grand finale. While I imagined I’d love Capitol Reef National Park just as much as the numerous other stops on this adventure through the Southwest, I had no idea the less-trodden getaway would become the trip highlight, not to mention my favorite national park for stargazing. But perhaps it’s not that surprising. One look at a light pollution map proves that remote Capitol Reef, located in south-central Utah, has impressively little artificial illumination. Skies this pristine are a rarity in the brightly lit United States, where over three-quarters of Americans can’t see the Milky Way from home.
Back when the internet was just starting, nations were all given a URL in order to publish websites official to the nation. The US got .us and the UK got .uk. Well Anguilla, the small British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean, was given .ai, and with investments and startups surging in the field of artificial intelligence, the country has suddenly found itself with something like a new natural resource—as if it found an oil deposit. Forever the country has depended on tourism and fishing, but now it sells off the domain rights for .ai for literally millions—$35 million last year to be precise.Dumb luck. Good for them, though.

Re the least visited national parks, I believe Death Valley National Park is (or should be) on that list. People don't want to go there because they (correctly) assume it's dangerous to deal with the heat.
On top of that, the park actively *discourages* people from visiting during the hottest months of summer, which are July, August and September. I think even all of the hotels there are closed those months.

I'd never even heard of some of those parks, and the ones I am familiar with are all rather remote and hard to get to without making "going to that park in particular" the entire point of the trip. Isle Royale and Dry Tortugas are both only accessible by seaplane or boat and the ferries that run to them are super expensive when I've looked into them.
Great Basin is fairly new, IIRC. From the maps it seems to be a mountain ridge so it looks kinda nice and not-deserty, but it's still out in the middle of nowhere in Nevada, so I'd guess there's not a whole lot in the way of towns/services near it so . . . eh.

Part of it is in Utah, right? People who have never been to the Mountain West don't grok basins. They aren't simple valleys; they are slabs of the Earth's crust that have dropped down due to extensional tectonics. They are bounded by faults on each side, that often continue to be the locii of earthquakes. There is an entire Basin and Range Province of the American Cordillera.

I'm a big fan of his early work. Seen a number of his shows up through Lawyers in Love.
I missed a chance to see him at my highschool ... I graduated a few years to early. The school was honoring Craig Doerge (his long time keyboardist, and a member of "The Session" studio session player).
Craig gave a short talk on his career, and mentioned that he'd be happy to play a few tunes, and if the assembly didn't mind he had an accompanist with him, who he thought the assembly would appreciate.
Down lights ... stroll to the waiting piano ... up lights, and there the accompanist was, guitar in hand - Jackson Browne.
It's said that it was quite a show for the student body ...

I've backpacked for a week on Isle Royale. It's a cool place to hike and camp. They do have a hotel/lodge for those that don't want to camp. You could do some short day hikes from the hotel, but you wouldn't see much of the island that way. You could take a boat around and dock at different places and do short hikes. Cars/vehicles are not allowed on the island, and it's not set up for bicycles.
I didn't know there was a hotel there until our ferry docked. We got checked in and while getting our group together we ate our bag lunch before hitting the trail. We had a week of dehydrated food to look forward to and all we could smell was the grill from the hotel wafting our way. Smelled like hamburgers. Gahhh...

When the Israelis carpet bomb the launch areas, Hamas and the International Red Cross will scream that 439 children were killed while eating lunch in their schools. Hamas will repeatedly wash and rinse this op to keep ts name in the news on Al-Jazeera and keep the Jooo-hate going full speed ahead in Western nations. Hamas will never stop until eradicated.

Wiped out from decluttering - today most of it was things that were in drawers and cabinets, so it doesn't really look like much has changed, but that's okay. I consolidated all of the medications in our bathroom, and threw a LOT of expired items out.
Tomorrow I may tackle all of the clutter on the floor in our bedroom. Wish me luck! 😂😂😂

it is the Red Legged Seriema, which is from Argentina and Paraguay. It is the closest living relative to the Terror Birds, Phorusrhacids, and it kills its prey by hurling it against the ground until it is dead. It has a sickle-like claw on each foot that it uses to hold down the prey while it tears it apart.

I wonder what the heck that bird is up to. I read up and it's vertebrate prey that it slams on the ground. Total bastard. It also eats eggs if they're around. Maybe it's meeting the prey that bounces right back and hits you in the beak.

Not far from me, and (unfortunately) in the ghetto, is a Jordan High School.

IMHO the school should be renamed for Michael Jordan.

So, what about this de Wever fellow?
>>In a 2019 interview with Flemish newspaper De Zondag, De Wever argued that mass immigration was impacting on identity, enlightenment and integration, and that immigrants from Muslim backgrounds were more likely to force their beliefs in public over other religious groups, stating "I have not yet seen an Orthodox Jew who wants a counter function in Antwerp. They avoid conflict. That is the difference. Muslims do claim a place in public space, in education, with their outward signs of faith. That creates tensions"

Theory: Trump’s Gaza Master Play
1. Hostages released – Trump’s opening gambit: Hamas loses its leverage, and Israel withdraws to a buffer zone—no more urban raids, no more global outrage. Masterstroke: Israel escapes the blame cycle.
2. Demilitarization impossible – each militia clings to weapons for survival, not against Israel but against each other over scarce resources. Trump stays clean; Palestinians fail his plan’s conditions.
3. Aid restricted to cans and water – rubble sits untouched (five years to clear). No order, no infrastructure—only chaos. Trump ensures just enough aid to expose the disorder, not fix it.
4. Militias clash – Islamic Jihad versus clans versus faceless gunmen. No Israeli shells, just hunger-fueled infighting. Trump foresaw it: let survival instincts drive the chaos.
5. Famine narrative collapses – food arrives, but gunfire erupts. The world sees: chaos is Palestinian-made, not Israel’s blockade. Trump wins without saying a word.
(Cont’d)

Posted by: MORE IDIOT THAN SAVANT at October 09, 2025 11:20 PM (o+cID)
7. Statehood dream fades – no one who can’t manage a food line can govern a nation. Trump’s silence outshouts protests; Europe abandons the two-state illusion.
8. Evacuation unfolds – no orders, no accusations. Families flee because Gaza is uninhabitable, a kill zone. Trump never said “empty Gaza”; he let desperation prove his point.
Eight moves, zero missteps. Gulf money pocketed, Hamas choked, world awakened—Trump lands exactly where he aimed: Gaza’s relocation as the logical fix, Palestinian violence laid bare, no ethnic-cleansing label.

I had neglected it for years, after the original charcoal canister had been smashed when the 'burb was rear-ended by a Nissan Pathfinder. Last oil change, I figured "might as well fix this" and grafted in a charcoal canister from a parted-out '98 Chevy 3/4 ton. Had three nipples on the canister, all well-marked, what could go wrong? I will just uncouple the one that goes to the filler neck. The filler neck on this thing narrows down to one inch about a foot below the cap. Weird, that.

The Dutch will be involved because they already have Navy and Marine assets at Curacao and are picking up and releasing fishing boats. and the Brits are involved because they have real estate there. Colombia and Panama may well be forced to come along. The French will probably be asked to play too, since they also have land in the area.

Pretty sure he thinks the golf ball is a walnut and he is trying to crack it.
A house I used to live in had a walnut tree outside and crows would get a nut, fly up and land on a telephone wire above the sidewalk and then drop the nut. It would take a few drops to break it open. My room mate and were wondering why they didn't just fly up 200 ft and drop it and get it in one shot? One of them did that one time and it pulverized the nut and made it more difficult to get the meat out. When they do 2-4 smaller drops, the meat comes out in 2 equal parts that are easy to enjoy. Smart birds. They steal rings, keys, coins and other shiny things too.

They claim it to be. Sort of depends upon how you define "SUV". If 4-wheel drive is a necessary feature, then Jeep Universal take the crown, I think. The original Suburban (late 1930's) was more what was then called a "depot hack". Look it up. Chevy did not have much to do with 4-wheel drive until the 1960's. The few earlier Chevy 4X4's were often the work of contracted custom shops.

Walnuts are not super dense. Maybe the drop from the telephone line is enough that they reach terminal velocity, and a higher drop would just take more effort on the part of the crow, and no gain to be had by it.

Recommend Congaree, like a mini Everglades for the biome nut.
Carlsbad, best cave ever.
Guadelupe, very nice, spent some time with a park ranger who all the time on her hands. Some great history along with nature and hikes.
Cannot understand why North Cascades doesn't get more visitors. Great hikes, lakes, small towns nearby to stay in.
Hoping to do Alaska's parks after I retire.
Dry Tortugas is hard to get to, have to get a boat reservation and they are limited.
Best night sky I have ever seen was in Chaco Canyon, NW New Mexico. Small cities from the time of William the Conqueror. But you have to drive to get back to a hotel because nothing is close. It is a wonder, could have been a national park. It's a national cultural park instead.

No, International Scout never came along until the early '60's. The International Travelall predated it, and could be considered an SUV, since it was basically International's answer to the Suburban. But as far as I know, the Jeep Universal wagon was the first vehicle that could be legitimately called an SUV. Closed car, seating for 4 or more, available 4 wheel drive, and some cargo space. The military Jeeps, and CJ's, and their competitors are not SUV's.

This really intrigued me for some reason, but terminal velocity for a walnut varies from 22 - 31 mph, and it will take 65' - 165' to reach it. Moist of the variation there is the size to weight ratio (and moisture content) of the distribution of typical walnuts.

As I understand it, it means basically many models of "scary black rifles", or "modern sporting rifles", as the case may be.
a) it's stupid performative bullshit from the Liberals
b) most of the guns being "bought back" are from dealers, so the Feds are simply buying and destroying unsold guns. There was some talk of shipping the "buyback's" to Ukraine, but I don't think Ukraine wants them. Not military firearms.
c) I don't own any of the affected guns, and whatever guns I might or might not own are not on any government's radar screen, and I aim to keep it that way.

Pull up Grok and have it run the equations of motions. While the quadratic drag form gets messy, it does have an analytic solution (x(t) ~ ln(cosh(kt)) type function -- it's a mess.
You get a relatively simple expression for distance required to reach a fraction of terminal velocity. You can express that in terms of coefficient of drag and projectile mass.

Douglas Mackay, convicted for a Hillary meme in 2016 the gov't claimed deprived people of their right to vote, has won his appeal.
Reauters, and notice 'false information' for a fucking meme!:
A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday overturned the conviction of a social media influencer who used Twitter posts that resembled Hillary Clinton ads to spread false information about the 2016 presidential election and help Donald Trump win.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said no rational jury could have found that Douglass Mackey knowingly agreed to join a conspiracy to deprive people of their constitutional right to vote.
The false information? He told people to make sure they voted -- giving a date the day after the election.

After all these years, I finally heard their original 1965 hit "The Kids Are Alright," only about a week ago.
Wow. Beginning to understand how the Who got their following so fast in the mid-1960s. As always, it seems the more music I explore, the more I enjoy.
That song basically invented power pop. Anyway, I know its not a popular opinion but I think The Who did all their best work BEFORE Tommy. Nobody else was doing that sort of art pop. They kind of ditched that for more conventional rock and go figure they got way more famous and got way more money.

Personally, I prefer 'Quadrophenia' over 'Tommy'. While Tommy was groundbreaking, Quad has the music. 'Love Reign O'er Me' is stupendous.
As far as saying their best work was before 'Tommy', I have to disagree. I am a fan of 'The Who By Numbers', an underappreciated album, and 'Who Are You' is also very good.
I'm not sure The Who ever put out a weak album. I could be wrong because I like The 'ho.

AOP's gone to bed, but
Filling out your papers and hiring a lawyer is not a guarantee to residency or citizenship. It's not like getting a library card or your school transcripts. I just read another sob story about a priest who's self-deporting because the backlog for EB-4 visas is CHOKED thanks to BIDEN expanding eligibility for them. Now his current R-1 (also a temporary visa) will expire before his EB-4 application is ever looked at.
So he's (brace yourselves) obeying the terms of his R-1 visa and leaving.
Why is this called "self-deporting"? He's just LEAVING per the terms of his visa.

There's a reference to suicide on that album, 'In A Hand Or A Face'
All the history of a soul in torment
Ingrained in a hand or face
Ain't it funny how they all fire the pistol
At the wrong end of the race
From 'Who Are You':
I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go, sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
--
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day

Joshua Tree National Monument Cap Rock, a hundred-foot mound of
quartzite with a huge beretlike boulder perched precariously on its apex,
has become a big cult site for showbiz types and hangers-on from L.A. An
artist named Bernie Leadon has been widely quoted, Castaneda-style:
“Joshua Tree is everybody's power spot." The mystique of the place was
enormously enhanced after September 19, 1973, when the body of country-
western star Gram Parsons was burned alongside Cap Rock in a macabre
cremation ceremony staged by certain of his friends, apparently as part of a
whoever-goes-first pact. Parsons died at age 26 on September 19 while on
a retreat of sorts in the Joshua Tree Motel in the town of that name. Al-
though the official cause of death was given as heart failure, it is widely
believed among those who knew him that Parsons had OD'd on morphine.
The body was removed to Los Angeles for return to Parsons's parents in
New Orleans. Ás the coffin waited on a freight ramp at Los Angeles Inter-
national Airport, two of Gram's buddies drove up and loaded it into an
aged hearse, as unsuspecting police looked on.

Twilight is the shortest around the equinoxes and longest around the solstices pretty much for everybody, but the exact date and length is a complex function of latitude. And it can get sort of crazier close to the artic circles and the tropic lines.
In between the tropics, you have two shortest and longest daylight dates, one longer or shorter than the other, but two local minima and maxima. And then close to arctic circles, twilight never ends for a period around the solstices.

@HumanityChad The owner in this shop allows stray dogs to come in when it is dark so that they can spend the nights safely.. He puts blankets to cover the cold tiles so everyone has a comfortable bed...
This is one Cool Dog. All those years of seeing dogs pee on fire hydrants, and I never realized -- dogs are inviting the hydrants to spray them back. Dog is a first-rate farmhand. A couple of strays who look out for each other. Get a room. Pigeon wants to be included. A cat gets pounced... by an emu chick. This baby elephant really wants to get on the safari bus, but his mom won't let him. If you think baby elephants are cute, check out this newborn baby elephant. The little clumsy ball of wrinkles can't even stand. Heroic dog leads police to the location of his mistress, a grandmother who collapsed while walking him.
A loyal dog flagged down cops and helped them rescue a missing grandmother after she fell over during their walk. The four-legged hero, named Eeyore, led officers with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office in Florida right to the injured woman. The police were out looking for the 86-year-old grandmother after receiving a missing persons call at around 10.30pm on September 25, the Miami Herald reported. Bodycam footage showed the moment Deputy Devon Miller responded to her family's distressed pleas for help. Her concerned husband told Miller that his wife had failed to return home after walking Eeyore more than an hour ago. The video showed Miller searching for the missing woman before she spotted the couple's dog in the street. Eeyore, who is named after the donkey in 'Winnie-the-Pooh', directly approached the patrol car. 'Where's your mama? Show me where your mama is,' Miller could be heard asking. Deputy Devon Miller was sent out to look for the missing 86-year-old woman when she spotted the dog, named Eeyore Eeyore then led the deputy through a yard and straight to the injured woman lying on the sidewalk. Miller radioed the paramedics for the woman, who was 'alert and conscious.' The injured woman was stunned upon being rescued. As they waited for the paramedics, Miller explained that Eeyore led the way. 'The dog brought you?' the woman asked Miller. 'He wouldn't leave. He kept coming back to me.' She added: 'I'm not even his owner. I'm his grandmother!' The injured woman was taken to the hospital for further evaluation, according to the police. The sheriff's office posted the touching video, writing: 'Sometimes heroes come with four legs and a wagging tail!'Video below.
This dog led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. This is Eeyore. He was on a walk with his 86-year-old grandma when she fell. After they didn't return home for an hour, his grandpa frantically called the police to report them missing. A deputy from… pic.twitter.com/zPkuCnIN9g

Norway braces for Trump’s reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize
US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy, analyst says
Kirsti Bergstø, the leader of Norway’s Socialist Left party and its foreign policy spokesperson, said Oslo must be “prepared for anything.”
“Donald Trump is taking the US in an extreme direction, attacking freedom of speech, having masked secret police kidnapping people in broad daylight and cracking down on institutions and the courts. When the president is this volatile and authoritarian, of course we have to be prepared for anything,” Bergstø told the Guardian.
“The Nobel Committee is an independent body and the Norwegian government has no involvement in determining the prizes. But I’m not sure Trump knows that. We have to be prepared for anything from him.”

Disagree. Most comedians are filled with self-loathing. Everyone thinks they are happy, telling jokes because they are full of joy, but the majority are miserable, vain, insecure. They tell jokes to cover up their emotional instablity.
Kimmel knows that his career is almost over. He got his big break, and it turns out that he sucks. He's now just playing for time, getting as much dough as he can before he's doing third-tier podcasts and low-rent comedy clubs.

"Castle Keep" is a terrible WW II movie, but it's not overrated. I only found out about it because it came on a compilation DVD set.
Shaving Ryan's Privates is constantly lauded, celebrated, hailed as a masterpiece, IT WAS SO REAL and yet it's lie stacked upon lie. And boring. Ooh look! Our troops shot Germans trying to surrender! Ooh look! Nothing in this lousy war is worthwhile other than saving this one dude.

I mean anything is possible, but it's funny how eagerly the polls completely inverted with a non-Canadian who never held elective office picking a fight with Trump and suddenly HE WAS THE ONE.

By the end of the movie I was checking my watch repeatedly, counting the seconds until I could leave.
The true story is of course that a Catholic Chaplain went to find Ryan on his own, and how nice for him to be completely erased from history! Lets concoct a totally contrived story instead, chock full of tropes and saccharine sweet sentimentality!
A much better film is "Glory," the the moment when Broderick realizes that he's going to his death is not only visceral, but totally surprising given the actor. No one expected that kind of depth.

There's been a major campaign in Hollywood the last several years, to absolutely bury Gone With The Wind. They want people to forget it was ever made, or even written as a novel.

A quick review:
Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell (November 8, 1900 – August 16, 1949), a lifelong resident of Atlanta, Georgia, was an American journalist and novelist who published only one novel in her lifetime. Gone With the Wind (MacMillan, 1936) topped the American fiction best selling lists; earned the National Book Award for Distinguished Fiction in 1936, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937; and became a legend in its adaption to film and stage -- particularly the Academy award winning movie produced in 1939 by David Selznick that starred Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable.

ESPECIALLY the sappy angsty veteran. Yet another Spielbergian coda or interjection that tells us what this story was about and why it's great and assigning us our discussion topic for the drive home. He just doesn't know when to quit and he throws in stupid lies and giveaways all the time. The minute I saw that tidy guy who types, I knew he was going to have a crisis when it came time to shoot, and SURE ENOUGH! Then that faux-profound soliloquy or whatever it was from the sniper.

The Loew's Grand Theater in Atlanta was destroyed by a fire on January 30, 1978, after a period of decline and closure that followed its famous hosting of the 1939 premiere of Gone with the Wind.

[Pour out a glass for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, who had to find a new brand due to unexpectedly problematic search results.]
"Shaving Private Ryan" continues to get mentions as a great war movie, and it isn't. "Kelly's Heroes" is more realistic and a better movie.

The film ignored Charles Hamilton's son, and Scarlett's indifference to him. It made sense to leave him out of the movie, because it made her look pretty bad and he was always there, lurking, reminding us that Scarlett was a total bitch.
Also her obsession with Ashley was maddening and absolutely spot on in terms of how women operate. Stupid bint has been widwoed twice, finally finds a real man in Rhett, but pines for an inbred pansy who has no discernable life skills.

The film ignored Charles Hamilton's son, and Scarlett's indifference to him. It made sense to leave him out of the movie, because it made her look pretty bad and he was always there, lurking, reminding us that Scarlett was a total bitch.
Also her obsession with Ashley was maddening and absolutely spot on in terms of how women operate. Stupid bint has been widwoed twice, finally finds a real man in Rhett, but pines for an inbred pansy who has no discernable life skills.

That's right, both her kids from previous marriages were barely visible, and her sisters got shorter shrift in the movie than in the book.
Also Rhett's obsession with Scarlett was maddening and absolutely spot on in terms of how men operate. Stupid ass has his pick of smart, beautiful women but pines for an all-around bitch with minimal motherly instincts or morals.

"Big Tish" James indicted for serial mortgage fraud.
New York state Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia on charges of bank fraud and making false claims to a financial institution, according to the Department of Justice. The indictment was handed up in the Eastern District of Virginia, where former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Sept. 25 on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice "No one is above the law. The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public's trust," US Attorney Lindsey Halligan said in a statement. "The facts and the law in this case are clear, and we will continue following them to ensure that justice is served." ... If convicted on both counts, James faces up to 60 years in prison and a fine of up to $2 million.From the Department of Islamic Cultural Enrichment:
She bought the three-bedroom, one-bathroom home in August 2020 for roughly $137,000, most of which was financed with a $109,600 loan that prohibited it from being used as a rental investment property, prosecutors alleged. That allowed her "to obtain favorable loan terms not available for investment properties," they noted in the five-page filing, that saved her "approximately $18,933 over the life of the loan." When a Post reporter visited the Norfolk home in April, neighbors said they had never seen James at the property. Meanwhile, James' tax forms designated it as a rental that recorded thousands of dollars in additional income. Norfolk property records reviewed earlier this year by The Post show James later granted power of attorney to her niece Shamice Thompson-Hairston on Aug. 17, 2023, authorizing the purchase of the Virginia property -- for which they secured a $219,780 mortgage. Thursday's indictment puts the timeline of the alleged bank fraud scheme from August 2020 to January 2024 "for the purpose of influencing the action of OVM Financial, a Fannie Mae-backed lender, upon an application for a loan." The New York AG "represented and affirmed in uniform residential loan applications and related documents that the Peronne Property would be used as a secondary residence, when in truth and fact, as JAMES then knew, the property was intended and used as an investment property with no intended or actual personal occupancy or use by her," the indictment alleged.
This is the terrorist propaganda network Reuters, so you should know that when they say "two men," they mean two Muslims, and when they say "alleged plot against the Jewish community," they are in fact talking about a scheme to use assault rifles to stage a Paris 2015 style attack, killing "hundreds" of Jews.
Two men on trial in UK over alleged plot against Jewish community
Also, the Cultural Enrichment Agents have nothing to do with the Cultural Enrichment Agent who just rammed his car into a synagogue. Or, at least, they have never met. They just all enjoy invading Western countries and murdering Christians and Jews. For some reason. Some kind of a coincidence, I gather.
Two men plotted an Islamic State-inspired attack on the Jewish community in northwest England with the aim of "killing hundreds of innocent people", British prosecutors said on Wednesday at the start of their trial. Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, are charged with preparing terrorist acts, while Walid Saadaoui's brother Bilel Saadaoui, 36, is charged with failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism. All three have pleaded not guilty and are on trial at Preston Crown Court. Judge Mark Wall told jurors that the case had nothing to do with last week's deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester and the timing of the trial was coincidental.Yup, just a pure coincidence. Except this is not a coincidence. This is Enemy Action. We blew right through "the third time" sometime in the early 70s.
They make 'em sound like propeh 'eroes, don't they?
Prosecutors say Walid Saadaoui and Hussein had "embraced the views of the so-called Islamic State ... (and) were prepared to risk their own lives" in order to become martyrs.
Walid Saadaoui had arranged for two assault rifles, an automatic pistol and ammunition to be smuggled into Britain, with a further three weapons and more ammunition to be delivered, when he was arrested in May 2024, prosecutor Harpreet Sandhu said. Sandhu said the assault rifles were similar to those used in a 2015 attack in Paris which killed 130 people, and were "capable of causing untold harm". "Untold harm was precisely what Walid Saadaoui had planned to cause, together with the defendant Amar Hussein," Sandhu said, before he was interrupted by Hussein shouting from the dock: "How many babies?" Sandhu said that Walid Saadaoui and Hussein's plan was to "identify a mass gathering of Jewish people whom they could attack", with a third man they thought was called "Farouk". "In addition, they intended to kill any law enforcement or police officers who got in their way," Sandhu said.
The vicious communists of the Canadian government are going to murder 30 of the most beautiful animals in the world -- beluga whales -- because of their ideology. They can't afford to keep the belugas. China has offered to take them for use in a Sea-World type exhibit, and Canadians are so drunk on Marxist ideology they've decided that murdering these lovely creatures is preferable to having them swim around to applause from humans.
A shuttered Canadian amusement park said that without an infusion of cash it will have to euthanize 30 beluga whales after a government official blocked it from sending the marine mammals to a Chinese theme park. Marineland, the aquatic theme park located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, laid out the dire situation in a letter Friday to Canadian Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson, The New York Times reported. Thompson announced days earlier that she denied Marineland's request to export the belugas to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom theme park in China because it "would have meant a continued life in captivity and a return to public entertainment." She further said that she was following requirements of the Fisheries Act meant to prevent the exploitation of marine mammals. "Like many of you, I am angered that these whales have lived a life of captivity and as a result their health has deteriorated," Thompson said. "As Canadians, we know that whales belong in the ocean, not in tanks for our amusement."You despicable cunt. So you're going to fucking murder highly intelligent creatures?
At least she has The Science (TM) on her side, huh? Belugas, in the wild, enjoy playing with humans. Belugas, again in the wild, seek out humans to play with them and get pets. And if you drop your phone while you're filming them, they'll swim to the bottom of the sea to recover it and give it back to you. THESE ANIMALS DO NOT DISLIKE HUMANS. And for that sin: They must be massacred.
Thompson told CBC News that she had visited the closed Marineland facility and concluded the whales belong in the ocean after she "looked the belugas in the eyes."
Of course they didn't bother to write in a grandfather clause so that belugas or dolphins already in captivity could be kept alive until their natural deaths, because these vicious psychopaths are nothing but ideology, rage, coercion, and murder. Sure we'll kill the animals we claim to want to protect, but the important thing -- the only important thing -- is that weaklings and sub-morons get to dominate and bully other people so that they can feel powerful.
Marineland's business model struggled after a federal law passed in 2019 that banned keeping whales, dolphins and porpoises for breeding or amusement, according to the CBC. The theme park said there is no suitable ocean "sanctuary" or facility for the whales. Meanwhile, Marineland said its financial situation continues to crumble, leaving it unable to meet the whales' costly care.
So much Cultural Enrichment happening in NYC's subways/Murder Dungeons that I can't even keep up.
A deranged crook with a mile-long rap sheet allegedly confessed to savagely beating a stranger to death outside a Brooklyn subway station -- coldly telling cops he didn't like the way the victim "looked at him," sources revealed Wednesday. David Mazariegos, 25, was charged with murder in the senseless Tuesday afternoon assault near the Jay Street-MetroTech Station, law enforcement sources said. The creep flashed a sinister, partially toothless grin Wednesday as he was carted out of a Manhattan courthouse, where he was first arraigned on charges from a past case and his dramatic arrest with a samurai sword in Times Square hours after the brutal slaying.
Exorcise the Demons. From Stace McCain: The Boxwine-and-Benzos Brigade is mentally ill and wants to purge the world of, well, you.
"Why'd you take my planet?" Mazariegos raved outside the courtroom when asked why he killed the man. Sources said the sicko allegedly copped to attacking 64-year-old Nicola Tanzi in downtown Brooklyn because the hapless man held a subway gate door open for him -- an act of kindness that the hotheaded hoodlum told cops he disliked. A shockingly brutal attack followed, with the assailant repeatedly pummeling the victim's face and stomping on his head up to 15 times, sources said. The assault lasted 10 minutes before the sadistic attacker took Tanzi's wallet and ID -- which delayed his identification by police -- and left him battered and unconscious near Lawrence and Willoughby streets, according to sources. The brutalized man died roughly an hour later in New York-Presbyterian Hospital Brooklyn Methodist. Tanzi, who had lived in Brooklyn for over 20 years, worked in security and planned to retire next year, his pals the The Post. "We lost a good friend. He was a really good guy," said Carmina Racaro, owner of a flower shop near Tanzi's Bensonhurst apartment. "He would come here for espresso, ask 'How are you?' He was happy." Racaro said Tanzi originally hailed from Bari, Italy, and was a regular church usher during the Italian-language church services at the Catholic St. Dominic parish. He also belonged to an Italian club in Carroll Gardens, friends stated. Tanzi's alleged attacker, of the Bronx, has at least 33 past arrests, including both sealed and unsealed cases, and is listed on the city's transit recidivist database, sources said.
Oh this pyrsyn is trans? I would never have guessed.
Typical Democratic Voter Inadvertently Explains the Great Mystery of Our Time Did you ever wonder how the Democratic Party got so crazy? For example, how is it that the governor of Illinois is inciting violent mobs against federal immigration authorities and meanwhile, in Virginia, every Democrat is rallying to the defense of Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who openly fantasized about murdering political opponents? To summarize briefly: Bad causes attract bad people. To understand the symbiotic relationship between toxic political movements and their toxic supporters, my advice is to first read Eric Hoffer's 1951 classic, The True Believer, especially Part 2: "The Potential Converts." Next, you should read Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, focusing on Chapter 10, "Why the Worst Get on Top." Among the personal experiences that led me to comprehend this phenomenon was being swarmed by a mob of "Occupy" protesters in 2011. If you ever had the misfortune to be in close proximity to a zombie horde like that, you would never doubt that the fundamental problem of the Democratic Party is that its grassroots "base" is composed of dangerous lunatics. If you ever needed a reason to vote Republican, this is it: Democrats are the party of people who celebrate terrorist massacres of innocent Jews. All of which is preamble to introducing you to the person calling herself "Cloud," who describes herself as "Pisces / 26 / ATL / Immortal Angel Femboy / Cosplayer" on an Instagram account with approximately 8,000 followers. If ever anyone needed a Kiwi Farms LOLCow file . . .This summer, "Cloud" went viral with a video denouncing Taylor Swift's engagement to "MAGA-adjacent" Travis Kelce:
"I can already feel myself regretting making this video. If ten people are sitting at a table, and one of them is a Nazi, and the other nine people are not telling the Nazi to fuck off, then you're at a table with ten Nazis. When Taylor Swift first started dating Travis Kelce and Travis Kelce was so open about his 'respect' for Donald Trump, I already knew we were reaching the beginning of the end, right? When she was posting photos with, like, other NFL wives and girlfriends or whatever, and they were all open MAGAs, and Taylor was happily posing with them on Instagram, I knew we were at the beginning of the end. I just didn't know how long it would take for the general populace to catch on that it was the beginning of the end. You cannot be friends with people who have different opinions on you when those opinions are life and death for other people -- when the Supreme Court ruling today has decided that certain people's lives are genuinely worth more on paper than others. This is a black-and-white issue. I'm sorry, but there is no nuance when it comes to Trump. You're either chill with the guy who has death camps in El Salvador or you're not. And the only reason I'm making this video is because I've been very open about how much I love Taylor Swift during the last few years. So I do feel obligated to come on here and say she is MAGA -- or at least, MAGA-adjacent. And I'm sorry, as a trans person, if you're Nazi-adjacent, that's still a Nazi to me. Do with that info whatever you will."
...You know how sometimes Republicans, particularly of the Boomer/Bush variety, say that "We think lefties are wrong, whereas lefties think we are evil" with a smug grin like they're some kind of moral paragons? Do you still subscribe to that? Not me. I think they're evil and I wish nothing but ill on them and I want nothing to do with them. No, I won't disown family members or friends they way they do. I'll make exceptions. Some friends may cheat on their wives or do drugs or behave in ways I don't like, and I'll make allowances, because they're friends or family members. But strangers? No, I want nothing to do with them. I do not want to share a country with them. They are evil, and it is repugnant and counter-productive to pretend otherwise. They are mentally-ill, stupid, destructive vermin who are destroying the last little bit of our civilization that still functions.
Violence is the logical conclusion of a syllogism built on such premises, and good luck trying to convince Democratic voters that their belief system is based on dubious premises and fallacies. Having convinced themselves that they are "on the right side of history," they consider it a hate crime to disagree with them. This fanaticism attracts bad people to the Democratic Party banner, and the bad people expect their party to represent their beliefs, which is why the Democrats are so crazy.

The "Very Fine Scholar" Leonard Jeffries posits, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that brain cells are actually hidden inside of skin cells -- the melanin pigment in skin cells, to be specific. And because blacks have more melanin than whites, well, that's why blacks are the intellectual superiors to whites. All those brainy skin cells.
IN NEW YORK, A BIGOTED MAN ON CAMPUS August 11, 1991 By JONATHAN YARDLEY ... It first appeared in last Monday's New York Post: a report of a speech delivered by Leonard Jeffries Jr., a professor at the City College of New York and chairman of its African American studies department. ... Apparently the speech was just about as long as an address by Fidel Castro -- two hours! -- and even loonier. Ostensibly speaking to the question of Afro-centric education, Jeffries launched into a tirade against whites generally and Jews specifically. He said that there has been "a conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood {by} people called Greenberg and Weisberg and Trigliani," and that "Russian Jewry had a particular control over the movies, and their financial partners, the Mafia, put together a financial system of destruction of black people." That's not the half of it. Jeffries turned history upside down and informed his audience that "everyone knows rich Jews helped finance the slave trade." He also focused his attention on Diane Ravitch, formerly professor of teaching and education at Teachers College, Columbia, now assistant U.S. secretary of education. Ravitch, who is one of the most thoughtful, articulate and persuasive critics of "multiculturalism," was dismissed by Jeffries as "a sophisticated, debonair racist" and "a Texas Jew."
It's good to see that Hakeem Jeffries inherited all of Leonard Jeffries' very-smart skin cells.
These are matters not of scholarship, of proof and disproof, but of fantasy and hatred, neither of which is in the least susceptible to rational inquiry or argument. Jeffries is a "very fine scholar" who in all seriousness believes that blacks are intellectually superior to whites because they have more melanin in their skin -- a form of racist claptrap similar in tone and spirit to the racial-superiority theories drummed up by the Ku Klux Klan and the White Citizens Council and other publicists for white supremacy. How can one expect a "scholar" in thrall to such hallucination to entertain disagreement, no matter how respectful or persuasive?

Sources said the sicko allegedly copped to attacking 64-year-old Nicola Tanzi in downtown Brooklyn because the hapless man held a subway gate door open for him -- an act of kindness that the hotheaded hoodlum told cops he disliked.
-------
About 20 years ago in San Francisco, a man (who had his two sons in the car)l with him) moved his car back at a stoplight to let in a left-turning car that ended up stuck in the lane to the right of the turn lane.
The car had MS-13 gang members in it, one of whom jumped out and shot the man dead in front of his sons, somehow extracting an insult from his act of kindness. Sounds similar.
Huh.

I'm ok with people not paying taxes. In fact, I'm in favor of people lying to the government so as to reduce any possible tax they might be ordered to pay.
I would say, if you intend to get ANY financial benefit from the government, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. It's a conflict of interest that no other business would allow.
And yes, that includes Social Security. You can vote or collect SS payments. You can't do both. Same with gov employees.

The dogs are all aloof. Much like the Japanese. Now and then you'll see someone walking a toy dog - now those little shits seemed to have no problem running up to the round eye. Maybe its my smell. Dunno'.

Leonard Jeffries posits, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that brain cells are actually hidden inside of skin cells -- the melanin pigment in skin cells, to be specific
[...]
Jeffries is a "very fine scholar" who in all seriousness believes that blacks are intellectually superior to whites because they have more melanin in their skin -- a form of racist claptrap similar in tone and spirit to the racial-superiority theories drummed up by the Ku Klux Klan and the White Citizens Council and other publicists for white supremacy. How can one expect a "scholar" in thrall to such hallucination to entertain disagreement, no matter how respectful or persuasive?

I imagine Trump's Truth Social posts demanding Bondi indict her is going to be used quite often in these "trials" as evidence that this is nothing but petty bullshit.
There’s also a good chance vindictive prosecution will be used as a pre-trial motion for dismissal.
There's also a good chance the judge will be too pressured or influenced to take the proper measures.
Bondi is all in on the Trump train. I can't wait until the tides change and she is on trial for her corruption. She accepted $25,000 from the Trump Foundation and then made the investigation against Trump University go away.
I am curious to learn what she told the grand jury in order to get them to indict. I expect Halligan will eventually lose her law license based on presenting false evidence to the panel. Just add her to the list of disbarred attorneys who worked for Trump.

Waaay back when Saturday Night Lives was both funny and fearless, they did a skit where Garrett Morris was playing an academic debating a black guy who was a civil rights leader or legislator or something, and Morris said he never understood where the myth started that white people were smarter than black people.
And the guest dryly observed that it's based on tha fact that lighter-skinned black are smarter than darker skinned blacks. To which Morries said: "Say what?"
That was when Jesse Jackson could make fun of himself by reading "Green Eggs and Ham" like it was a protest book.

I love the idea of using the halftime show to once again celebrate the greatest musicians in America. Not as a platform for Jay-Z to plug his chosen degenerate rappers.
So many of the old time classic rockers won't be around forever. Get them immortalized with a halftime show now! Show the baby singers how it's done.
Thats what the halftime show should be. Entertaining, universally appealing, pro America, non controversial. It's about time there was counter programming.

The "Very Fine Scholar" Leonard Jeffries posits, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that brain cells are actually hidden inside of skin cells -- the melanin pigment in skin cells, to be specific.
And because blacks have more melanin than whites, well, that's why blacks are the intellectual superiors to whites.
All those brainy skin cells.

They can put them on and take them off in ways that seemingly defy physics.
In my misspent college days, we came up with an elaborate prank that required a bunch of guys to pretend to be a cheer squad, and thus we dressed in drag, and were given some bras for stuffing. Everyone was bitching about how to *put them on* because that was a situation we had never encountered before.
This being before Iphones, there are no records of the incident, but it was funny as hell.

Turning Point USA Will Stage Its Own Counter-Super-Bowl-Halftime-Show, Featuring Pro-American and Wholesome Acts
I think the NFL should just be boycotted into bankruptcy but obviously I am losing that argument. If we're not just going to turn our backs on this woke federation of criminals, then I guess draining them of some viewers during halftime is an okay alternative.Patriots have said no thanks to upcoming NFL Super Bowl halftime singer Bad Bunny after his latest diss against America, with Turning Point USA announcing an alternative halftime show for the big game in February.
Advertisement The NFL is apparently on a mission to disregard what their fans want after picking the anti-ICE singer, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, for the 2026 show. In response to the backlash, the singer (who sings almost entirely in Spanish) thumbed his nose at those upset about him being chosen when he appeared on "Saturday Night Live" earlier in October. During his appearance, the Puerto Rico-based singer started out his monologue in English but changed to Spanish, telling Americans they had four months to learn that language if they want to understand what he's saying at his Super Bowl halftime show, as RedState reported.

The actions of these Mayors and Governors floors me... they need to go read 18 USC 1324 aiding and abetting illegal aliens.
Its clear in the law that if they conspire to help illegals, and ONE of those illegals kills someone? It can lead to life in Prison OR the Death Penalty.

I've never heard of this female drummer, but I'm assuming she must be fantastic and not a DEI hire, to step into Neil's shoes.
I always figured if they got back together, it would be a "name" like Mike Portnoy or someone like that.

“Governor JB Pritzker@GovPritzker
Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.”
Trump’s troops? I know Gov Pritzker is a blithering idiot but the oath of office/oath of enlistment says you will support and defend the CONSTITUTION.
They are not Trump’s on anybody’s troops.

Mmm...no. No, not at all. Soccer is a game for poor, backward nations. Nations that don't have money for specialized equipment, indoor facilities, or fancy uniforms. Just one SINGLE ball keeps 20 neighborhood kids amused long enough to keep the local crime rate somewhat manageable.
Its coaching amounts to a continual use of only TWO phrases:
1) "Run!"
2) "Kick It!"
There. Glad I could set that straight.

NYS taxpayers get to pay $10M of her legal defense. That's the kind of crap stuff into the NYS budget.

The most interesting name I thought of (NOT "the most popular" or "most likely" or "most fitting") was...Stewart Copeland. If you watch his short videos, he obviously still LOVES to drum. And if all Geddy and Alec wanted was a 90-minute run thru of some Rush songs, they could have found a dozen that Stewart could have embraced. It would be an epic collaboration, and memorable as well.

ace, I'm with you about NFL getting boycotted into bankruptcy, but I'm a weirdo b/c I don't have the sports gene. I can "get into" baseball, and enjoy the Series games, but after 40 years still can't figure out how American football is even played.
It doesn't help that NFL has ingrained itself into the lifestyle of American viewers/consumers; and that they have their (IMHO illegal) anti-trust exemption, so other leagues can't even get started up.
My recommendation is for all of us to start demanding Congress revoke NFL's "right" to destroy its competition, as well as avoid watching their games and sponsors, to the best of our ability.

I couldn't name all of the teams in the NFL. I surely can't even opine on the quality of any of the teams unless its the Dallas Cowboys and I'm sure that they are at best break-even, but likely suck because they have sucked since Jones brought on "Gunsmoke" from Oklahoma fame.

Monday morning it was 39 when I got up for work. Loved it.
Rest of the week it's been lower 50s in the morning. Disappoint. But at least it's not getting hot during the day, and I love the autumn sunlight. Rich and vibrant, and the sky is blue, not washed out white.

It's not bizarre in the least. It's perfectly normal and has been going on in one form or another since the beginning of competition. Kids around the world have grown up cheering on their local team in various sports since sports began.
Do some people get carried away? Of course. Some people go to Comic Con or movie and tv show get togethers. Galaxy Quest was a movie poking fun at people who get so into movies they think the characters in the movie are real. Even the aliens.

Its a thing. Its mostly - but not entirely - a Boomer thing.
My theory ? Its the twin ideas of absolutes and association. The idea that the event is just even - like a straight game of poker or Monopoly or a track and field event. And certain folks are absolutely hooked on that concept, combined with the notion that "they win" when somebody else of their brand wins.
Its bullshit - but they need it. Again, mostly, the same folks that get a thrill down their leg because "we won the Cold War". You, sir, didn't win a damn thing, and you didn't win just because the Eagles beat the Patriots either.
Mostly Boomers. Also Millennials - but not as much.

They aren't going to have the kind of cash and pull for this as the NFL and Roc Nation - and unlike with them, the talent would have to show their asses and be drummed out of polite society for it. It's a gotta triple the cost, at least.
If you think people are taking heat for the Riyadh Comedy Festival stuff, that is *nothing* compared to playing this show. These guys will have to accept a permanently reduced presence, get new agents, probably get sued by current partners, etc.
There's no way to compete with halftime - everyone understands that - the point would be to have a respectable showing. But if this is a nerd thing with acts nobody cares about, it'll be embarrassing for TPUSA, and it's gonna cost a ton of money, no matter what.

So the NFL did manage to lose some percent of former viewers who merely had a habit of watching the game without being hardcore fans. I hear about some of their changes and think they will kill their cash cow by making it as exciting to view as watching paint dry.
Probably viewership would be much lower already but the fantasy leagues and gambling bring in people who would otherwise be bored with most of the games.
