Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - September 1, 2026![]() Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT has arrived. So have you. Nice when a plan comes together! Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight? Hey, I know this guy!
The aptly named Digital Camouflage may look like a hideous Hawaiian shirt, but its seemingly abstract pattern was created with a very specific purpose in mind – to prevent AI-powered CCTV cameras from recognizing the wearer as a person. “AI systems are made of multiple layers and never learned what a human is – they learned what humans statistically look like in millions of training images,” Simon Weckert, the shirt’s creator, explained. “In the early layers it’s edges, contrasts and texture gradients; deeper in the network it’s part-like patterns: the head-and-shoulders silhouette, the proportions of limbs against a torso, the continuity of a body’s outline against the background. A ‘person’, for the machine, is a bundle of visual statistics – and that is exactly its weakness.” The Digital Camouflage shirt was carefully designed to confuse AI systems, making it very hard for them to recognize the wearer as a human being. Ironically, the pattern was created using AI, through a process known as an “adversarial loop”.Check out the whole thing. Photo at the link. ----- Science news. Actually - spinning earth news. OK, not really news - something happened 2 years ago. Oh well - read about it anyway! On 5 July 2024, Earth completed a rotation 1.66 milliseconds short of 86,400 seconds, the shortest day measured in the atomic-clock era, breaking the previous record set in June 2022 Here are two facts that seem to argue with each other. Over the long haul, Earth is slowing down. The pull of the Moon’s tides has been stretching our days out for hundreds of millions of years, adding about 2.3 milliseconds per century to the length of a day. And yet for the past several years the planet has been doing the opposite, spinning slightly faster, setting one shortest-day record after another. The current mark is 1.66 milliseconds short of a full 24 hours, clocked on 5 July 2024. Both things are true at once. The slow tidal drag is still there in the background. Riding on top of it are shorter, faster wobbles, and lately those wobbles have been pushing in the speed-up direction. That’s the puzzle, and it’s stranger and matters more than a few thousandths of a second sounds.But wait - there's more. Something is slowing the earth down. Can you guess what the wrinkle is? While the core has been speeding the planet up, climate change has been working the other way. As polar ice melts in Greenland and Antarctica, water moves from the poles toward the equator, and that shift in mass slows the rotation.But of course - that dang climate change again. Just meltin' ice and makin' the earth slosh around slowly. The oddest part is that melting ice bought the world time. Agnew’s modeling suggested the reckoning would have arrived around 2026, but the ice-melt braking pushed it back. Without the effect of melting ice, Earth would need that negative leap second in 2026 instead of 2029, Agnew calculated. A problem created deep in the Earth is being partly held off by climate change at the surface.Oh, the modeling was wrong? First time that's ever happened, right?!? These idiots will never stop.

Yes. Taught this way back before the rise of the machines. The reason for a "boonie hat" in evasion (escaping an enemy when you're down behind enemy lines) is that it makes the head no longer look exactly like a head. Yes, just putting a floppy big brim on your head ever so slightly confuses the human recognition - in the dark, in camouflage, etc. - of "Hey, that's a person." It's also a reason for the "mitznefet" the Israeli military issues. It's like a giant sleep cap (the sort certain types of women wear to WalMart) worn over the helmet. Because a helmet just screams "head here!" The mitznefet breaks it up into more of a blob and less of a head shape. (Some use the keffiyeh or shemagh to achieve the same effect.)

The 3,300 or so elected County Sheriffs have enormous power and I'm surprised they don't band together to flex it. Only a few places don't have one, NYC for one. The office is enumerated in the Constitution. The State and local police have no such Constitutional protection. In my opinion, State Police become the flunkies, redcaps, and bullies of the Governor.

That little hiccup of earth speeding up looks to be over, and no negative leap second will loom by 2029. If it kept that up, we would've needed one. As it is, we've gone about 10 years without needed a regular positive leap second, and we won't need another one for a while.

I picked up a new recliner at the furniture store today. It came in a big box, some assembly will be required. The kid at the store had no trouble rolling the box downhill from the loading dock into the bed of my pickup with a furniture dolly.
Skipping over minor misadventures with a plastic tarp and scattered rain showers, I got it home. The box only weighs 120 lbs, so wrestling it out of the truck in a controlled fall was no problem. What is a problem is that the box will not fit through any door in the house. I will have to open the box, bring the assorted pieces inside, then assemble them in place. It's now dark, my back hurts, and it looks like rain. The box is now sitting on my covered patio, wrapped in a tarp, with dunnage under it. It was glaring at me through the glass patio door, so I had to shut the drapes.

>> I thought the Moon was affecting the Earth's rotational speed.
It is. Tidal torque. The earth's orbital angular momentum is being transferred to the Moon, throwing it in a higher orbit. Based on the lunar recession rate from lunar laser ranging, the tidal slowing should be 2.3 - 2.4 ms/century. But, over the past few hundred years, that average rate is about 1.7 - 1.8 ms/cy. Most of that difference is isostatic rebound after the last glacial maximum. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 01, 2026 11:06 PM (w6EFb) 187

33 For men at least there is no being "a little bit gay"
You either aren't or go, uh, full hog. Posted by: 18-1 at September 01, 2026 10:08 PM (sKqQm) There is a standard theory of No Bisexuals that goes like this: everyone likes a pretty girl. So, there are plenty of LUGs (lesbian until graduation) and closeted fathers out there. But guys are grody, and it takes the specific, biologically driven libido of a homosexual man or a heterosexual woman to want to be with a dude, so that's what all 'bisexuals' are. The debate rages within the Alphabet Mafia itself, so I don't expect to resolve it here. I'm not even taking a position, just presenting the (plausible) argument.

Here's a timeanddate page on the earth rotational data: https://t.ly/xEpED Scroll down and they've got a graph going back to the early 1800s. You'll see the last little speed up was nothing much compared to the speed up around the 1870s. It was spinning about 3 ms faster then, but by 1900-1910 had slowed down about 4 ms slower. The 2020 speed up was the first time the excess LOD has gone negative since the atomic clock era.

I think I saw a movie with Mark Ruffalo but I can't remember. I could pick him out of a line up as I do unfortunately know what he looks like. He's the one who looks bloated and goofy; like he was left too long underwater and started to macerate. Probably fails at dating or did. I know I would not go out with him even if he said he was famous and rich.
My husband, who does not limp and is a former long distance runner for 4 decades now has a torn tendon in his hip. Because getting older is not for the faint of heart, even for athletes. It hardly hurts but he had a MRI and wow we were not expecting this. I guess ortho surgery may be in his future and have already chosen the doc to call tomorrow. We have lots of stairs. I have even planned where to put a bed in the family room as I don't mess around and go to the worst possible scenario for everything. He's only had minor surgery before on a thumb he cut a tendon. We will find out soonish about something we did not see on the horizon. Hopefully with a scope if needed. It's a complete tear so I doubt he will escape surgery. *It's always something.

Here a wiki graph from the IERS data since 1962, when the atomic clock measuring started.

Yep, there is usable data back to the early 1600s. Not as precise as the 19th century, but still somewhat usable, although you have to be aware of the large error bars. I'm too lazy to dig that up, IERS used to have it own their web site buried somewhere. But anyway, it shows a curious rotational speed up right before the Maunder Minimum, and the Little Ice Age kicked it. Very interesting correlations. But again, the error bars are large there.

>> Packing ice at the poles and draining water from the equator could do a little ice skater’s pirouette on the Earth.
That is very fascinating, and it turns out it works just the opposite of how you would naively think it should. You would think moving water mass from the equator to ice at the poles would lower the moment of inertia and speed the earth up, and when the ice sheets melt, it should slow the earth down. And it does behave that way over the short term. But over the long term, you have isostatic adjustment, and the result in an icehouse earth with large ice sheets becomes more oblate than a "hothouse" earth with no ice sheets. So ice age earth is a slower earth. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 01, 2026 11:38 PM (w6EFb) 252

A Thai resort city is cracking down on prostitution ahead of the arrival of a San Diego-based US Navy aircraft carrier carrying about 5,000 sailors and Marines after more than 200 consecutive days at sea.
The USS Abraham Lincoln is due to dock Wednesday near Pattaya — one of Thailand’s best-known nightlife destinations — along with two accompanying Navy vessels. Police have stepped up patrols around the city’s beachfront and nightlife areas ahead of the visit. Raids over the weekend detained roughly 40 to 50 people on suspicion of prostitution, according to The Independent. “We are doing our best, but it is difficult,” Pattaya police chief Anek Srathongyoo said Monday, noting that sex workers could solicit people in public without authorities knowing. Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, although the sex trade remains highly visible in tourist destinations including Pattaya and parts of Bangkok.

U-175 was a Type IXc U-boat that complete three war patrols and sank 10 ships totaling 40,619 GRT.
It was attacked three times by aircraft. Once by USAAF B-18s that caused no damage. Off Sierra Leone, an RAF Catalina dropped depth charges and caused minor damage. Off Dakar another RAF Catalina blasted the boat with six depth charges causing extensive damage including an oil leak. Sub's luck ran out on 17 April 1943 off southwest Ireland when the US Coast Guard cutter Spencer sank the boat with depth charges and gunfire. 13 were killed and 41 became POWs.

President Donald Trump on Aug. 31 announced agreements with nine midsize pharmaceutical companies to reduce drug prices for American patients.
Drugmakers including Alcon, Astellas Pharma, BeOne Medicines, BridgeBio, CSL, Kyowa Kirin, Sun Pharma, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and UCB have agreed to the voluntary deals and will lower prices for life-saving medicines used to treat seizures, bacterial infections, high blood pressure, organ failure, and rare diseases. The new agreements align with the most-favored-nation drug pricing framework to bring down U.S. drug prices in line with other developed countries. In exchange, the companies would secure tariff relief. “Under that most-favored-nation agreement, we now pay the lowest price paid by other countries anywhere in the world,” _President Donald Trump Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 01, 2026 09:01 PM (VPNgR) 185

As you know, they launched Nancy Grace into deep space early Sunday morning. Nancy is now 246K miles away from earth, outside the Moon's orbit, and moving 2.6K mi/hr. They're now turning on and checking out various instruments. The high gain/high speed antenna has been deployed, and the coronagraph fired up. Lens cover on the telescope has been opened and so forth. When Nancy gets going that high speed antenna is gonna spew 1 TB of data per day. So Nancy is going to be running her mouth big time.

My mind is boggling now. Right now, Nancy Grace has started the "coronagraph decontamination" phase. Here's the big problem. When something gets into space and in hard vacuum, there's a hell of a lot of volatile outgassing. Water vapor and a host of other little molecules from everything start getting released. Some of that stuff would stick and freeze to the surface of all the optics. So they've got to carefully manage that to prevent that, otherwise all those billion dollar instruments would be ruined. So what they're doing now is using heaters, carefully designed and controlled to keep those sensitive surfaces warm, while allowing all the other components to outgas. When they're through, they move on to the next phases of set up. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 01, 2026 09:50 PM (w6EFb) 213

Once they're through with that outgassing thing, in about 10 days they'll begin the chilldown. Since they thing sees in infrared, it has to be cooled way down. Otherwise it would be radiating at the very wavelengths it wants to look at. Think if a regular telescope was glowing white hot itself. You wouldn't be able to see much for your own emissions. They've got to get the detectors cooled down to about -300F, and the mirror itself not much warmer than that. And they do it all passively.

I’ll have you know I spent three of the best months of my life there! Posted by: RI Red at September 01, 2026 10:08 PM (ohwFg) Iranian-Descended Loudmouth Communist Moron Mark Ruffalo Accused of AntisemitismHe opposes the purchase of Warner Bros/Discovery by Paramount/Skydance -- obviously! -- and specifies that his opposition is based on the Jewish executives at Paramount/Skydance supporting Israel's right to defend itself against 70 years of Muslim terror attacks. This asshole, of course, tags anyone who opposes his communist/Islamist agenda as "racist." A bunch of Jewish left-wingers and communists signed an open letter stating, essentially, that there can be no "antisemitism" if you're pushing the communist/Islamist alliance. Mark Ruffalo has been defended by nearly 200 Jewish figures in entertainment after Paramount called his recent merger attack 'antisemitic.' Actress Hannah Einbinder, who previously defended the actor, led the signatures of Jewish entertainment industry members on an open letter of support for the embattled 58-year-old Marvel actor.She is the talentless wallflower who shouted "F*** ICE!" at the Oscars. You can read the letter at the link, if you're a glutton for stupid. The basic claim is that if you're opposing Trump and Israel, there really is no such thing as "antisemitism." All is fair and permissible when fighting for the Red-Green alliance. This guy rebutted the letter:The Daily Mail reached out to representatives for Einbinder, Ruffalo and Paramount at the time for further comment. In her statement, Einbinder said that 'the idea that [Ruffalo] only said these things because the Ellisons are Jewish is LUDICROUS,' asking, 'Is it also antisemitic to point out that Safra Catz, the Oracle executive vice chair who boasted about the "profoundly scary technology" provided to the IDF, also sits on Paramount's board? 'Or that Larry Ellison has been buying favor with Trump by donating tens of millions to his political efforts for years? Or that he once offered Netanyahu a lucrative Oracle post?' The Los Angeles-born actress said that Ruffalo's words marked 'criticism of RIGHT WING technofeudalist oligarchs who are in the process of carrying out the largest media acquisition in history,' adding that 'people are not too stupid to see these obvious connections.' Einbinder added, 'If you want to make it about the Ellisons being Jewish, then you are the one being antisemitic.' He offers this conclusion: California's AG Rob Bonta claims he's blocking this merger -- after not blocking the proposed merger with Netflix, and not blocking Disney's rapid-fire Pac-Man acquisitions of Pixel, Marvel, and LucasFilm -- because he wants to preserve competition in the media. But Ruffalo's defenders admit that's not the real reason they oppose this merger. The real reason, they not only admit but proclaim, is the "larger project" of isolating Israel.
I'm sympathetic to the idea that people are too quick to claim an -ism or a -phobia to shut down legitimate discussion and I'm sure you are too. But our position -- that people should be more grown up about these matters and accept that there is going to be a certain amount of friction between competing groups and simply shouting "racism!" is no answer -- is not the majority position foisted on us by leftwing communists like Ruffalo and this plain-jane nobody actress. When we said, accurately, that covid was grown in a Chinese lab, we were called conspiracy-addled #AsianHate racists. Their rule is that any opposition to what a minority group wants, especially when combined with "dog whistles" and "age-old tropes," is definitely racism. So choke on it. Meanwhile, another flabby gasbag imbecile, David Harbour, is complaining about capitalism as he simultaneously shows off his mansion to a magazine.

Yep, long past time for major action in the meatpacking sector, including excluding foreign ownership. Chy-nah has its malevolent hooks sunk deep there.

"Anne Hathaway: “Abortion can be another word for mercy.”

Is there a universal, paradigm-free scale of "inconvenience"?
Otherwise, we're pretty much making our convenience the basis of making life and death decisions. ICE found Rene Not-good rather inconvenient. And she seemed to revel in continuing to be an inconvenience. Isn't the purpose of #Resist, somebody else inconvenience? Isn't inconvenience the weapon the progs use to "make people care" when they are blocking the roads and highways? "Making it your problem" If they have cited inconvenience--well then, the presence of border-jumpers in America is simply citable as an inconvenience. No, this is atheist-slop.

Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at September 01, 2026 05:45 PM (zZu0s) RavensDagger, a prolific writer of webnovels mostly on Royal Road, has recently started Bite The Stars (now on Volume 2), a fanfic crossover of Warhammer 40k with his original cyberpunk/alien invasion LitRPG hit, Stray Cat Strut. Word of warning: SCS has its own large fanfic community, but it's pretty dodgy, because the postulated nanotech resonated hard with the trans and furry fetish communities. Point is, it's funny and charming to see someone with his own IP, with its own turbofans, geeking out over someone else's. Links go to Royal Road Bite The Stars: https://tinyurl.com/2k5sxwvc Stray Cat Strut: https://tinyurl.com/2s36zdkb Content warning: the insertion of SCS's 'Protector' tech is likely to raise 40k's tone to GrimBright.

In what weird space does Ann Hathaway live? At 43yrs old and expecting her third child..."abortion is a mercy."
I don't even want to know how she figures this as I don't like her or her acting. Whipping her tits out is not acting, it is vanity for attention. Like no one has ever seen that boring trick of the trade. Who says no at this point? I would have (which is why I am not acting and didn't model). Demons think this way, Ann. Congrats on identifying yourself. Is it "merciful" for the poor mother who could not bother with birth control or keep her legs closed? An inconvience? Especially for those special ones with careers who wait til their 40's or go to surrogates. Merciful for my exBF who found it inconvienent in her 20's and aborted twice...only to wait til age 45 and could not conceive? It is certainly not merciful for the baby who'd like to live. Note that I will never call the baby a xygote, embryo or fetus. That wee soul is a baby human; and abortion is murder. You will be forgiven once you figure this out and repent.

Lily Allen. A singer, I guess. She wrote an album about that dirty man-bun person who she was married to for some strange reason. Some sample lyrics:
“I found a shoebox full of handwritten letters / From brokenhearted women wishing you could have been better / Sheets pulled off the bed / Strewn all on the floor / Long black hair probably from the night before,” she recalls. “Duane Reade bag with the handles tied / Sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside / Hundreds of Trojans, you're so fucking broken / How'd I get caught up in your double life?” And with that in mind, it’s perhaps notable that before her and David’s split, Lily spoke openly about her and David’s sex life on her podcast, where she expressed her discomfort at the things he'd request in the bedroom.

There's another campaign - overlapping signatories from the Paramount letter:
Over 200 public figures have signed onto a petition calling for the release of prominent Palestinian security prisoner Marwan Barghouti, who is serving five life terms for his role in terror attacks in which five Israelis were killed, a campaign for his freedom said Wednesday. The diverse range of celebrities who signed onto the “Free Marwan” petition included several Jewish names, such as British actors Stephen Fry and Miriam Margolyes, American singer-songwriter Paul Simon, and American actresses Hannah Einbinder and Ilana Glazer. Other prominent names included actors Mark Ruffalo, Sir Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, and Josh O’Connor; musicians Annie Lennox, Sting, and Brian Eno; and author Margaret Atwood. British broadcaster Gary Lineker and Virgin boss Richard Branson also added their support. Posted by: beckster at September 01, 2026 06:46 PM (kX27y) 143

Blackman over at Volokh thinks that Roberts was hoping to flip Barrett, so he wrote the dissent as if it would be the ruling. (It's a good piece, read it)
Hard to believe such a hack made it to Chief Justice. What a pansy. Posted by: bob I read that. Blackman was too nice to Roberts. Roberts is and was a shit justice and a lousy chief. He is a reincarnation of Warren Burger always trying to manipulate the other justices and playing politics. The funny thing though is that over time, trying to manipulate your fellow justices begins to backfire as they end up resenting it. By the time Burger retired, all of the other justices were glad to see his exit and even the liberals on the court did not mind too much that Rehnquist became Chief. They knew where they stood with Rehnquist and he did not play the manipulation game as chief. Posted by: whig at September 01, 2026 07:00 PM (E4rtv) 204

But IF he were still the 1st-team QB of the Dallas Cowboys, that's all he would have been required to do. Instead, as a broadcaster they're treating him as if he killed someone and the network has made no announcement of if or when he might get to wear a helmet...er...microphone again.

200 >>>Chief Justice John Roberts Argues That Those Suffering 'Aesthetic Injury' Have Standing to Sue
I would like to see someone sue Roberts and his stupid pussy face all the way to the SCOTUS for the aesthetic injury of his stupid "it's a tax" obamacare ruling. Fucking weasel. Posted by: Comrade Flounder The weasel comes in to frame because Roberts specifically manipulates standing all the time as his go to way to avoid deciding cases. This time, he suddenly decides, because Orangeman bad, that some individual had a taxpayer veto over aesthetic reasons. This flies in the face of existing caselaw of Frothingham v. Mellon or even the later Flast decision (Flast cut an exception to standing that allowed lawsuits over constitutional violations--not statutory or spending issues). I hope that Roberts in the forthcoming session gets depantsed regularly by the other five justices in the majority. Posted by: whig at September 01, 2026 07:04 PM (E4rtv) 217

Kierkegaard illustrates that "aesthetics" is the most primitive form of man. It means I like what I like, and my life is about liking and disliking things.
The next "stage of man", for Kierkegaard, is Moral Man. A man who is bound by principles and serving others. Morality would consider harm. So "Aesthetic Injury" could be argued to confuse the two levels taking distaste as some part of "real harm". Thus it is bootstrapping the characteristically unserious into the gravely serious. Oh, you thought judicial proceedings handled moral harms, didn't you? Like I said, I should be able to sue Roberts for that monstrosity of a chimera he just birthed.

feel like Tony Romo is getting over-punished.
- I saw a documentary about a homicide between high school basketball players. Two players were living in a residence with a third and his mother. The purpose of this arrangement was fraud in that it was to disguise that they were ineligible because out of district. One of the three got a scholarship to college that seemed a yellow brick road to the NBA. The other two were jealous and beat him to death. (It's definitely possible that they did not intend death but merely to beat the shit out of him.) Everybody was covering it up for fear of exposing the fraud, and, eventually, several coaches and other school emp.oyees were fired. The actual killer, who not only beat the victim down but also stomped and kicked him, and who was an adult, was allowed to plead to manslaughter by way of a deferred judgment that allows him, if he stays out of trouble for a few years, to have the entire case dismissed with no conviction and no jail. I think there was some public service and counseling. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Mr. September 2026 at September 01, 2026 07:12 PM (ndZc7) 253

Chief Justice John Roberts did not argue that those suffering 'aesthetic injury' have standing; rather, the Supreme Court ruled that aesthetic concerns alone do not constitute a legal injury sufficient for standing in court.

You can't trust AI even for quotes.
Turley's first paragraph: The Administration won a major victory before the Supreme Court this week, securing a 5-4 decision allowing the resumption of construction of the new White House ballroom. Notably, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote a dissent with his three liberal colleagues to oppose the move. The case turns on the standing of challengers to bring the case. However, as a torts professor, what intrigued me was what the case says about aesthetic injuries.

The Court has long maintained a demanding standing doctrine under Article III of the Constitution, requiring a showing of an “injury in fact” that is based on the “invasion of a legally protected interest.” Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U. S. 555, 560 (1992). That requires an injury that is “(a) concrete and particularized . . . and (b) actual or imminent.”

Posted by: Braenyard ====== Yep and that was on a lawsuit regarding foreign aid and NEPA (an environmental law that recently got reeled in by Scotus) which had fairly broad statutory standing for people to sue. One lady in the suit wanted US aid suspended to Egypt over some water projects because she feared it might prevent her from seeing crocodiles.

Piece of writing writing is also a fun, if you know
after that you can write otherwise it is complex to write. Posted by: porno at September 01, 2026 10:29 PM (BnsxR) Quick HitsA knife-wielding lunatic woman, who stabbed another woman to death and injured two others, was shot to death as she advanced on police with a kitchen knife in Times Square, NYC. ![]() She was shot to death a second later, after charging a cop with the knife in front of her A woman was taken down by police in Times Square on Monday afternoon after she stabbed two people in the busy tourist attraction, one fatally. Law enforcement sources told the New York Post the incident began with the woman stabbing a man and a woman near West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue shortly before 4:30 pm. She was found by officers near an NYPD substation, waving a knife at officers. Police opened fire, striking and killing the woman. Sources said that police had deployed tasers, hitting the woman, however, she pulled them out and continued confronting officers before they opened fire. The woman's weapon was recovered by police.The Mommysleuths will take no interest in this case. They like Soap Opera True Crime tales, featuring a white wife and a white husband. A violent domestic drama they can project themselves into and imagine themselves as a Mary Sue friend of the killer. The more general kind of crime, the more common kind of crime, they have no interest in. They cannot imagine themselves as Mary Sue participants. I guess I should tell you why I said that: Because the New York Times finally noticed that the left-wing white women who they're always promoting above all others are huge supporters of the child killer Lindsay Clancy. Their explanation as to why hundreds of thousands of white liberal women had formed a cult around her is that they're addicted to true crime tales, and they're interested in true crime tales for the utilitarian goal of "not being a victim." In other words, the NYT is claiming, left-wing women are interested in true crime just to figure out if their husbands or boyfriends are going to kill them and how to see the signs to save themselves. The real reason is, of course, this is a Real Life Soap Opera they're interested in for purely prurient entertainment and Mary Sue self-insert reasons. All of the dumb-bunny conspiracy theorists spinning out claims that Erika Kirk murdered her husband and that Lindsay Clancy's husband is The Real Killer (because she is a Leo and he is a Gemini, and Leos do not kill but Geminis are notorious child-killers) is just a very nasty and stupid form of fanfiction -- they are writing fanfiction theories of these cases, treating them as if they are just another version of Twilight. Anyway, sorry to bitch about that, but, as Nux says, "What are we even doing here?" Why does every single thing a left-winger say have to be an obvious lie, designed for the sole purpose of protecting a part of the left-wing cult from embarassment? More crime in Shithole Seattle: Also in Seattle: A repeat-felon child sex offender was arrested. But by federal Marshals, not Seattle cops or Washington state police. The US Marshals Service arrested a fugitive wanted on felony child sexual abuse material charges at an apartment building near multiple schools and a community center in Seattle's Chinatown-International District.

From an interview with the stabber's brother. Too bad the E train didn't do the trick back in 2019:
------------ “I think bipolar, but I don’t know what else was going on,” he said, noting she received monthly injections for treatment. “I think maybe she stopped the injection she was getting and that caused her to act the way she was.” The medication gave a stability to Cisneros that often eluded her. A belligerent, intoxicated and screaming Cisneros drew NYPD cops along Lexington Avenue during December 2018, sources said. The mental health call wasn’t Cisneros’ last. She tried to commit suicide during March 2019 by jumping in front of an E train in Queens, sources said. Posted by: beckster at September 01, 2026 05:30 PM (kX27y) 109

The woman who got shot had killed someone and stabbed several other people so I am okay with her being put down but I do think the police probably could have come up with other options than the bullet here.
No, I am not with the "shoot the knives out of their hands" or "just charge her you are big strong mens!" crowd. but I dunno I would have tried pepper spray and taser first. Yeah I am aware how dangerous knives are, and police doctrine on the topic but still. She's yards away and not in particularly great physical condition. I am pretty sure they could have dropped her without having to shoot. But maybe we'll find out more in the future: at first it looked like Chauvin was kneeling on Floyd's neck.

Especially since he absolutely hated the Donk party. In 1912 when Woody Wilson the Klan Felcher was running for president, Captain Smalls publicly wrote that "I ask that every colored man in the North who has a vote to cast would cast that vote for the regular Republican Party and thus bury the Democratic Party so deep that there will not be seen even a bubble coming from the spot where the burial took place."

Yesterday we were in the ED because he managed to strain a hip flexor muscle playing a tiny bit of basketball with grandson. We often forget we are old. A male RN, at least 20yrs younger, was flirting with me due to my accent in the ED. I was mostly trying to be quiet and not add my thoughts of, "I'm a RN!!!" blather. Nor trying to be one of the Internet medical people who tell the ED how to treat them from AI advice. No, sir. I am there because I want to be and hope all is well. He had a MRI today to rule out a tear of the muscle. He told him how lucky he was to listen to me all of the time. I found that odd but nice. It is not often I get compliments for my accent as I am not fond of it, myself. Fifty years after meeting me the dude still thinks I'm pretty. Therefore I know he'd tell you that no way he'd have an ugly wife. Plus I'm fun, so there's that, as well as conservative and there's been no changes. Just lucky, we guess.

I saw a documentary about a homicide between high school basketball players. Two players were living in a residence with a third and his mother. The purpose of this arrangement was fraud in that it was to disguise that they were ineligible because out of district. One of the three got a scholarship to college that seemed a yellow brick road to the NBA. The other two were jealous and beat him to death. (It's definitely possible that they did not intend death but merely to beat the shit out of him.) Everybody was covering it up for fear of exposing the fraud, and, eventually, several coaches and other school emp.oyees were fired. The actual killer, who not only beat the victim down but also stomped and kicked him, and who was an adult, was allowed to plead to manslaughter by way of a deferred judgment that allows him, if he stays out of trouble for a few years, to have the entire case dismissed with no conviction and no jail. I think there was some public service and counseling.

The strikes are large and powerful, and in retaliation for the Iranians' failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait, which currently has no mines (They have been completely removed or detonated!), and the Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down, at our Military Base in Jordan. If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMPHere is video of a failed ICBM launch in Khomein, Iran. I'm guessing we had nothing to do with bringing it down. Just more crap technology Iran bought from China or Russia.

====== Well, this is in addition to all the frozen assets the administration already kept from the regime since like February. Remember the brouhaha about the MOU? There was the $300 billion investment that Iran was going to get the second they signed (what happened to that, by the way? they get the money?), but there was also about $12 billion in frozen assets that they were supposed to get (instantly, remember). But, then Iran kept bitching that they weren't getting the frozen funds through the MOU which they violated within hours by attacking neighbor states.

141 >>> What Is “Ozempic Vagina”? An Expert Doctor Speaks https://tinyurl.com/49xetn47 Posted by: AOSHQ Medical Advisory Panel, Sexual Health Division at September 01, 2026 03:00 PM (2Ez/1) That article tries to downplay it, but it reveals there are almost zero studies done on what happens to fetal health for women pregnant and taking drugs like Ozempic. Nothing good, I imagine. But a woman losing weight is more fertile, and the drugs also make contraception less effiective. This has the potential to be really bad. Posted by: LizLem at September 01, 2026 03:11 PM (Eng1Z) I'm cautiously optimistic that it could be good for fetal health. It's stabilizing satiety signals and blood sugar, with enough knock-on health benefits to sometimes look like a wonder drug. The downsides generally have to do with things that wouldn't affect them, like digestive upset or loose skin. Posted by: SciVo at September 01, 2026 04:07 PM (ke3zm) 70

Just more crap technology Iran bought from China or Russia.
There's a famous anecdote from the tea-sorting warehouses on the British docks: "We sort through all the impots, and send the best tea leaves to London." "What about the second-best tea?" "We send that to the rest of Britain." "Whart about the leftover tea?" "We send that to Australia." What about all the low-quality tea?" "We send that to the rest of the colonies." (Awkward silence.) "And when we're done sorting we sweep up whatever has fallen on the dock, and send that to America." I'm confident something similar happens with international gun-running. Whatever weapons and munition fail inspection in China and Russia, gets offloaded to Iran and other third-world totalitarian client states.

You never want to make unreliable guns because they could come back to you. Where you get into tiers is the age and condition. For example, when China first sent aid to the Vietnamese, it was all the junk they had on hand - captured Arisakas, ancient Commission rifles and that sort of thing. Same with Russia and the Spanish Civil War. They sold the Republic all the junk from WW I and the civil war. Top-shelf clients get new production. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

🚨BREAKING: Scott Presler and his team at Early Vote Action just exposed something massive in Philadelphia.
They hand-transcribed thousands of names from the non-juror lists, people summoned for jury duty who were excused because they are not U.S. citizens. When they cross-referenced those names against the actual Pennsylvania voter rolls, roughly one out of every four came back as active registered voters. That’s not a small glitch. We’re talking illegal alien voters on the rolls, including some who have committed serious crimes against women and children, murderers, and sex traffickers. Scott turned the data over to the Department of Justice. The DOJ is now threatening federal criminal prosecutions against Democrat state officials if they refuse to clean up the system.

Posted by: Azjaeger at September 01, 2026 06:11 PM (3/XaG) Muskily-Heterosexual James Talarico in 2020: Capitalism Is "Oppressive," Texas Must Stop Producing OilIt's not just "language," Andrew Kaczinsky. That's the Democrat Socialists' spin, that their past comments are about "cringey" language only. Their spin is that this is a language problem, not a policies or ideology or beliefs problem, and you concede this spin to them by repeating the spin uncritically. He said he wants to "dismantle capitalism." This isn't just language -- this is a program. If he's claiming that the only problem here was language, the obvious follow-up question is "What language would you prefer to use instead of 'dismantle capitalism,' then?" Woke 1 was cringey, man. When asked what lawmakers could do to address the disproportionate effects of climate change on communities of color, Talarico thanked the moderator for the question and the young activists at the club for the way they had framed the issue. "I am so thankful that you asked this question and also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and White supremacy and capitalism in our country," Talarico said. "And I think only ending the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we gonna be able to begin the process of dismantling them." Later, when asked how he explains climate policy to voters in a district President Donald Trump carried in 2016, Talarico said he focused on values, jobs and whether Texas would lead the industries of the future -- a future he suggested would not include oil and gas. "We all know that Texas has been a leader in oil and gas, but in many ways that's like being the leader in cassette tapes in the 1980s," Talarico later said responding to another question. "That industry is not gonna last. And if we wanna ensure we have an economy that's gonna work for our children and our children's children, we gotta be ahead of the curve and Texas has to lead instead of follow on this issue." On his current campaign website, Talarico says Texas is "the energy leader of the world -- and as senator, I will work tirelessly to ensure our state not only maintains, but extends that innovative leadership for generations to come so that Texans always have access to reliable, affordable energy." JT Ennis, a spokesperson for the campaign, told CNN that Talarico has already acknowledged some of his past comments "missed the mark" and attacked Paxton, Talarico's opponent. "James is a proud capitalist and agrees with the majority of Texans that racism, natural disasters, and a billionaire-controlled economy are all problems we need to address," said Ennis in a statement. "James supports the oil and gas industry and believes in an all of the above energy strategy that protects Texas oil and gas jobs." ... Previously, in 2021, Talarico suggested during a legislative session that modern science asserts there are six biological sexes -- which spurred the nickname "Six-Gender Jimmy" from Paxton and his supporters. Talarico has since addressed some of his past comments, calling them "cringey." He said that he knows there are two sexes, men and women, and "a very small percentage of people who have these chromosomal abnormalities" who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. After the state's massive power grid failure in 2021 killed hundreds of Texans, Talarico introduced a bill in the state house to combat climate change by requiring the state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 and at least 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The bill died in committee. ... Texas oil and gas production has increased since Talarico's 2020 remarks and meets or exceeds pre-pandemic levels.Like Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed and Francesca Hong and AOC, his response is just to distance himself from his old phrasing while keeping all of the policies that "phrasing" accurately described.

Ursula von der Leyen has put a figure on Europe’s financial problem: €10 trillion.
Last week, speaking to French business leaders gathered by Medef (Mouvement des entreprises de France—France’s leading employers’ organisation) in Paris, the Commission president lamented that such a large share of European household savings remains in bank deposits. “Unfortunately, these savings are lazy,” she said, before arguing that Europe needs to put that money “at the service of its companies.” For now, there is no plan to confiscate deposits or withdraw money from individual bank accounts. Brussels’ proposal is different and, precisely for that reason, more politically significant: to use tax incentives, new financial products, regulatory changes, and more integrated supervision to push a greater share of private savings towards European capital markets. ... it sounds like early 1929, when everybody just had to invest Posted by: SMOD at September 01, 2026 02:46 PM (RHGPo) 29

Question I've wanted to ask the TX Morons:
Someone I know who lived in the Dallas area said the reason so many Asian Indians are moving to TX is they got a prophecy or revelation that there is a religious promised land there, and they need to move there to help bring it to pass.

Posted by: Thomas Paine at September 01, 2026 02:46 PM (0U5gm) Not really true. First, there were multiple outages for maintenance scheduled at the same time. The ice storm was a complete unpredicted weather anomaly that struck at the perfect time. The plants that were still online were NG, which FROZE because of the severe temps. The wind and solar failed, sure, but they weren't supposed to run the whole f*cking system. Mistakes were made all over the place. That will never happen again. Now, that being said, to your point, should the lignite coal fired plants shut down by Rick Perry and the Owebama administration have been online and not scheduled for maintenance, Texans would've none been the wiser.

Tea Party was a populist uprising without a center or real focus, but it had a generalized discontent with DC that mostly manifested in "you're spending too much money". It was also heavily working class. DSA is materially different. Over-educated, downwardly mobile elites who are trying to push Maoism. It's decidedly not populist at all, even if they are trying to make their messaging populist in effect.

Hi, folks
I find James Talarico ridiculous. I hope the people of Texas do overwhelmingly as well. So rather than discuss more about him I would like to share something g which just happened which I thought was funny. I had a Bible study with the seniors at the Senior Residence Center which was very nice. While I was there I got a message on my cell phone which the phone text got incorrect from the message. The text said "This is Anthony from Middle Eastern Funeral Home" when I spoke to Anthony I said, "It sounded like you were serving kebabs and hummus." It is not Midddle Eastern Funeral Home. It's funny things like this which can help make the day a little brighter Posted by: FenelonSpoke at September 01, 2026 02:58 PM (JrHfD) 78

You don’t have to worry about how Black people vote, we are solid Dems. Focusing on Crockett is pissing Black people off. You wanted to win white and Latino voters, so focus on them. Hi, liberal here! We love Talarico. He's great at messaging, and even if he has some policy choices liberalS wont agree with, I've seen 0 dissent about him. He's supported and loved across the whole left spectrum. El-Sayed campaigns with a terrorist supporting, mao cosplaying, dog shocker. There are reasons people are fighting against AES, its not because he's too far left. He has a surrogate that is toxic to the party as a whole, and its getting blasted across the news. That raises questions about AES's judgement, as well as furthering negative stereotypical fears about Muslims. Yeah, the Republicans are basically a united party, with the exception of like Thomas Massie who is literally trying to expose his own Party's Pro-Pedo wing.

John Cornyn is a petulant, pathetic loser who's entire career is now being defined by throwing a tantrum because he lost to Paxton.
And all the dead-enders supporting Cornyn trip all over themselves and wet their pants in glee at the latest goofy poll showing Talarico is leading.

Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at September 01, 2026 03:05 PM (t19vo) ======= While it's true that blacks are a loyal Democrat voting bloc and won't stop anytime soon, there are clear patterns where when there is a clear racial preference in the Democrat primary and blacks don't get their choice, they tend to see decreased turnout in the general. So, Talarico will win 85% of the black vote. But the turnout will be 11% instead of 13%. All while the white working class vote keeps voting Republican by 30-40 points or so. And, if you want some real fun, dig into the crosstabs of the TX senate polling. They have Paxton winning them by like 5. The polling problems in the WI governor's race (Hong by 30? anyone?) are obviously appearing in other polling as well.

Power plants like solar and wind as a stop gap to allow for more stable environments during maintenance windows.
The problem is that neither solar nor wind are suitable at all for maintenance backup. Once you bring that gas plant down for maintenance, you need the backup to not fail, because its no longer the backup. The result here in Texas is that maintenance is being degraded, badly, by (a) not doing it when needed because he backup capacity is no longer reliable, and (b) cutting the downtime window so small that it cant be done right.

Short version:
Leftist politicians verr extreme-left to appeal to their communist primary voters, then blatantly lie during the general election and pretend they never said any of those things, to appeal to mainstream voters. This is true 100% of the time, and has been true in every election for the last 100 years. The media's role has traditionally been to aid the lying leftist politician by not reporting on his previous statements. Every leftist-Democrat politician since the 1960s has depended on this assist from the media to get elected. prior to internet, the coordinated deception worked very well. Hoepfulyl, the era of the internet and social media will change all that. The truth can no longer be suppressed.

43 Question I've wanted to ask the TX Morons:
Someone I know who lived in the Dallas area said the reason so many Asian Indians are moving to TX is they got a prophecy or revelation that there is a religious promised land there, and they need to move there to help bring it to pass.

The fact that Texas had (massively subsidized) windmills accounting for about 18% of electricity generation was the proximate cause of the blackout.
----- Natural gas pipelines failed. You know, the pipelines that feed the natural gas-fired electrical generation power plants. Why? It's because some clown decided that the pumps that move natural gas through the pipeline ought to be solar powered. Really, I'm not making this up. You'll never guess in a million years what they USED to use to power the pumps that move natural gas through the pipelines. Guess. Just take a wild ass guess.

Posted by: Big Pharma - Your Weight Loss Experts at September 01, 2026 03:09 PM (ccf/V) Partially correct / partially incorrect. The nat gas itself did not freeze. Over time, water vapor and sludge accumulates inside the pipelines, hence the "pigging" operations to keep them cleaned out. Like colonoscopy preps.

Talarico's two-faced messaging reminds me of how Yasser Arafat operated in the '70s-'90s. He'd go to some "peace conference, " agree to not murder Jews in exchange to some huge concession from the west, smile and shake hands with them for the photo op and say in English, "I want peace" -- and then zoom in his motorcade back to Ramallah, and give a fiery speech to the Palestinians, and say in Arabic, "HA ha! Fooled those stupid infidels! They're giving us billions of dollars and ceding territory, and all I had to do is pretend to decrease the terrorism a bit! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Go forth, my minions, and slaughter the yehudim!!" But this part wasmever reported in the western press (at least until some enterprising independent journalists translated tapes of his speeches in the '90s.)
This is exactly how the left operates as well (not surprisingly, since Arafat was trained by American Marxists). Lie to the cameras, and then gloat to their base when they think no one is listening. Posted by: zombie at September 01, 2026 03:19 PM (Av6i5) 181

I think someone is confused about what great messaging is, if a liberal would be turned off by Talarico's messaging.
Posted by: Oldcat Well, the article (and entire debate on the Left) is over the various factions in the Dem Party not supporting one another. They say they all have generally compatible policy positions, so vote Blue no matter who. Crockett poisoning the well against Talarico may be the worst own goal of the cycle, as Paxton isn't very popular, so perhaps a more moderate, mainstream, Texas-coded candidate could have had a chance? Not this freak, though, especially with Crockett depressing black turnout. I don't count Platner, Hong and El-Sayed so much as own-goals as just poor candidates. They say and live what they believe, instead of lying to normies like Spanberger to get elected and THEN letting their freak-flag fly. Poor morons thought the DSA was ascendant and people actually supported them lol.

At work, we don't pick the most retarded, incompetent people to head up projects (when given the option to self select leadership). That just makes everyone's life more miserable.

Like Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed and Francesca Hong and AOC, his response is just to distance himself from his old phrasing while keeping all of the policies that "phrasing" accurately described.

Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at September 01, 2026 03:20 PM (t19vo) The DemSocs are just the result of the Dem's using the crazies more and more for support - and fraud also coming home to roost. They get on the ballot because their safe areas are full of nuts, and the fading 'old school' doesn't have up and coming heirs gaining power internally to carry on the scam. Recently it seems the Dems are thinking of purging DemSoc out of the party, but that will likely lead to them failing, or losing ground to the GOP in the short term.

289summer polling say Rs will be shellacked! should we ignore these polls ?
Posted by: runner at September 01, 2026 03:42 PM (g47mK) ======= Yes. Because summer polling is notoriously inaccurate. Polling in summer in contentious senate races overestimates Democrat performance in the actual election by 7 points on average. https://x.com/PatrickRuffini/status/ 2085763509682323680 There are an assortment of reasons for this from real problems in polling (response bias, Democrats just like talking to pollsters more outside of election season) to other types of real problems (no pollster is graded on their summer polling, only their final polls, so there is literally no incentive for any polling firm to try and be accurate outside their final polls). So, if you want to compare summer polling this year to previous years, you compare it to previous summer polling instead of previous final polling. Summer polling this year compared to final polling from last cycle is an apple to oranges comparison.

"The Supreme Court has totally demoralized the American people. Those "people" that thought they were the owners of the White House and the Capitol. They thought it was the "People's House"? But the Supreme Court has disabused them of that silly idea. It may be call the "people's house" but the people have no "standing". They may as well have filed a quit claim deed and given the property to Donald Trump. He acts as if it all belongs to him anyway. It is disheartening, to say the least. He is like a squatter that has moved in and refuses to leave. In the meantime, he destroys the property whenever he gets a whim.

I do believe the Soviets were right on one thing..it is generated continuously at the Earth's core..A field can be drained faster than it refills, sure, and if use goes up exponentially at some point humanity could get ahead of the natural generation but I have spent the last 50 years hearing about how oil was going to run dry in the next 20 years and then how more and more has been found.

A field can be drained faster than it refills, sure, and if use goes up exponentially at some point humanity could get ahead of the natural generation but I have spent the last 50 years hearing about how oil was going to run dry in the next 20 years and then how more and more has been found.

Posted by: scam online at September 01, 2026 08:50 PM (7TF0X) Massachusetts "Man" Who Speaks Only Portuguese Arrested for Strangling a Woman After She Refused to Have Sex With Him; He Says He Strangled Her "by Accident" after Going "Crazy"It could happen anywhere but it mostly happens in blue shitholes. ![]() A man is being held without bail in connection with a woman found dead at her home in Framingham on Thursday. Framingham police said the suspect, 43-year-old Flavio Dias, called 911 stating he killed the victim by mistake and strangled her.Boy is his face red! Dias is being charged with assault and battery causing serious bodily harm. He's also facing one count of possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card. The family of the victim, identified as 33-year-old Brianna Connolly, could be seen getting emotional as they heard the details of the case in the courtroom. ... "He states very clearly, 'Can I have police? A homicide just happened here right now,'" Brandt stated. Brandt said Dias was speaking in Portuguese. "He then states, 'I ended up killing a woman by mistake.' He says, 'I went crazy and suffocated her later on, says that he strangled her,' Brandt stated.Oh, he went crazy? I'm sure the Lindsay Clancy Legions will defend his right to strangle a woman to death.
This sure is a Mystery. We'll probably never solve the crime of the Massachusetts Man. Oh wait, no, turns out it was easy: Bill MeluginAnd Massachusetts, of course, will not honor that detainer. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

The lefties had two different tacks: 1) El Sayed is just a reasonable guy that hates Israel and Jews as all reasonable people do. That doesn't mean he wants to kill ALL the Jews so obviously Nessel is an anti-Islamic bigot 2) Of course El Sayed is a jihadi I mean duh. But he's a jihadi that will vote with us on everything outside of killing the Jews. And I'll take one Senate vote for killing the Jews in return for 51 votes to stop Trump because he's a NAZI!

BREAKING: I'm told by multiple federal sources that the suspect in custody for strangling a woman to death in her home in Framingham, MA on Thursday is a Brazilian illegal alien w/ prior arrests for DUI & aggravated assault w/ a weapon who is believed to have entered the U.S. illegally as a gotaway in 2019. ------- He should have gotten the trebuchet after his first arrest. The only conclusion I can draw is that the crimes he committed, including the murder, were what his benefactors wanted him to do.

The killer had a relationship with his victim. If he speaks only Portuguese, how did they communicate? I assume a lady named "Brianna Connolly" doesn't speak Portuguese.

What is "no means no" in Portuguese or Swahili or Farsi?
Defense lawyers will say in "his culture" it is fine to strangle the white wommens if they say no. This is why there are pamphlets in English for the sweet raft people in the UK, explaining no to them (it does not matter that they can't read at all in any language, the pamphlets are there for protection). Maybe abortion should be extended to being legal for illegal immigrants who are confused as to our culture. It's ok! I would not last long as a defense attorney who thought her client was guilty. Probably one of theses sweet innocents would find a way to kill me, too. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 01, 2026 01:57 PM (hzuYO) 190

163 I do wonder if Islam, despite its many deficiencies, will eventually triumph over the West.

They also wore some thin flowing garments over western clothing. They weren't overweight and each had a pretty face. The males wore jeans and western culture shirts.

That would certainly be one way of finding out who is an ignorant fool with sub-moronic IQ and no knowledge of history and likes to shoot himself and hie country in the foot.
Woke Christianity: White men are the devil. Eat bugs. Sex with women is bad, listening to and acknowledging women are your betters is good. Islam: Arabs are a bit better then others but hey anyone is welcome. Eat anything other then pork. Not only is sex with women good you can have up to 4 wives and as many sex slaves as you want. And if they get mouthy Allah tells you to put them in their place. Plenty of shallow thinkers are going to sign up for the latter if they see those are their only two choices.

Run it wet, run it dry or anything in between, dirty clean, didn't matter. *pop* rack charging handle *pop* rack charging handle and call it bad names. At JRTC (Ft Chaffee, before they moved it to Polk) I once got it to fire three blanks in a row... I was like a SAW God.

Posted by: NeverBiden at September 01, 2026 06:40 PM (Ypn7P) Jury Deadlocked and Can't Decide if It's a Crime for a Mother to Murder Her ChildrenI'm half-joking with that headline because I know the issue is whether she is guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity. She did do some insane things --beyond bringing her children into the basement to strangle them one by one. She slashed her wrists and jumped out a window to kill herself or, perhaps, to pretend to kill herself. On the other hand she both planned the crime -- googling how to murder children, and sending her husband out on an errand so she could kill them undisturbed -- and took actions after the murders to conceal them. Just the News:
Legal insanity is -- or is supposed to be -- a difficult thing to prove. To be legally insane and not culpable of a crime, you have to be so disturbed that you cannot tell right from wrong. An age-old way of disproving such inability to tell right from wrong is to show the criminal planned the crime in secret and then took steps to cover it up. So we may be talking about the unofficial, non-legal "definition" of insanity, which is just that the criminal has some mental illness and so poof, all culpability is out the window. Almost all killers have something wrong in their brains, from having no moral compass at all, to having low impulse control, to being actual psychopaths. This is not supposed to excuse them, but juries can be persuaded to ignore the law if they feel sympathy for the murderer. Or murderess -- women get the benefit of this fake definition of insanity more than men do. So what do you think: Mistrial where the jury never delivers a verdict, in which case we have to do this all again, or let off the hook on the fake definition of inanity? I doubt the jurors in favor of conviction can persuade the pro-Lindsay jurors to flip. As you know, she's become quite the Misunderstood Hero to some.

I don't think women are going to like what the future holds if this woman walks from murdering her children, strangling them while face down so she couldn't see the horror, the terror, on their little faces.
She had a conversation with her husband, then went back to killing them. She googled how to kill them weeks prior. Personally, I think she needs to fry, but that's just me. Posted by: SMH at God's mercy at September 01, 2026 12:23 PM (Rln0i) 27
This is about certain people on the jury - certainly women - refusing to assign consequences to another woman.
That's it. End of story. Pack it up. We're done. Remove the rule of law, and most men will hang another man for things like stealing a horse. Killing their own kin. On and on. That's just not part of the female psyche. Posted by: Howdy at September 01, 2026 12:23 PM (ZEFzw) 28

Hung jury. I can't see those wanting to convict deciding "well, I guess it is excusable to plan and then kill your children if you're upset *enough*..." I would think those voting for insanity would be more persuadable, but if you're not already properly persuaded by a mother who planned and murdered her innocent young children, I think we need a trial for *you*...

The Blade, he saw this coming. Why? Very simple:
1. The best witness for the defense was ... the husband. He would not shut up about what a "great mother" Lindsay was. Not joking. The woman murdered his kids and he was over-the-top sympathetic to her. I had little doubt that at least a few jurors would think "well, if he is giving her a pass, why shouldn't I?" 2. The crime was so heinous, so shocking to any rational-thinking person, that some people will look for ways to rationalize it. Otherwise, it's impossible to believe a mother could do this to her own kids. My dad (a defense lawyer) would say that sometimes it's easier to defend a truly horrific murder than a "normal" one. 3. Too many people think that a woman can't be blamed for anything, ever, no matter how heinous or evil or horrible or premeditated. It must always -- always -- be someone else's fault. I figured the odds were that at least one juror felt like this. Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 01, 2026 12:25 PM (iFTx/) 38

The woman is very clearly mentally disturbed. She has to be. I don’t know what else could have been done for her, though, besides longer inpatient care. She was seeing mental health providers. She was taking meds (though not very compliant here, and I don’t know how to feel about this as anti-depressants have pretty terrible side effects like suicidal ideation). She had help at home. She had support. I also struggle with the reports of her saying she only heard the voice once and acted on it. That seems just really not inline with typical psychotic episodes. It is not normally 0 to 100 like that. All that aside, I know post partum psychosis exists, and it is very, very scary. But it doesn’t mean agency is completely stripped in 99.9% of cases, and she has shown she had agency throughout this horrific act. She needs to be in jail. Forever. Or a very, very long time.

The woman admitted to murdering her children. She was on a cocktail of drugs prescribed by her doctor, who in all intents and purposes, appears to be a quack.
That being said, unless they did a tox screen and can show that she was wacked out of her gourd pharmaceutically, she's a f*cking murderer. They've been given multiple charges to assign....murder, manslaughter......there's no excuse for this jury to not come back with something. She's guilty, admittedly. You just need to SENTENCE her. You can't do that, you're a detriment to society and should be put on your own trial. FFS.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt Wait, hang on a second. 1. Forgiveness is for him, his heart, not hers. 2. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or excusing from consequences. He was very, very emotional on the stand. This is clearly extremely painful for him. 3. He is not standing by her. He divorced her. He could not be married to this person that killed his children. He has since remarried. Posted by: Piper at September 01, 2026 12:37 PM (ZdaMQ) 109
Those women on the jury that vote to acquit her should be shunned and have their children removed if they have any.

Every expert that testified said she didn't show signs of psychosis and knew what she was doing. It's wild that she has any support at all. This is the OJ for White Women. Literally saw a group of 3-4 white women standing on the street corner outside Walmart with signs supporting Lindsay. This and Karen Read are perfect parallels for the OJ trial. White women gotta stick together in the struggle lol Late stage gender war, sponsored by all social media platforms Tf these pink-clad protesters bring their children there for? Hoping someone pulls a Lindsay Clancy on one of them? There is a TikTok trend where mothers post themselves holding their child, crying, with the court case audio playing in the background and the caption "Same, Lindsay". This case is genuinely breaking people's brains. Bringing your own real children, and putting them in simulated bathtubs to show full on support is actually so insanely fucking unhinged it should be reportable to CPS.

The woman is very clearly mentally disturbed. She has to be. I don’t know what else could have been done for her, though, besides longer inpatient care. She was seeing mental health providers. She was taking meds (though not very compliant here, and I don’t know how to feel about this as anti-depressants have pretty terrible side effects like suicidal ideation). She had help at home. She had support. I also struggle with the reports of her saying she only heard the voice once and acted on it. That seems just really not inline with typical psychotic episodes. It is not normally 0 to 100 like that. She needs to be in jail. Forever. Or a very, very long time.
Posted by: Piper at September 01, 2026 12:28 PM (ZdaMQ) ______ This is my take. There are issues as to exactly what drugs she was taking -- if any -- and whether it was a truly genuine suicide attempt. She did end up paralyzed and was pretty much dead when they found her. But ... who knows how genuine it was? But none of this absolves her of any guilt. Same thing with Chris Benoit. Both of them knew what they were doing, planned it out, and did it in a way that would avoid being caught or stopped. That's murder. Period.

Democrats are a death cult.
They’ve been destroying children and families for decades. Their entire agenda is antithetical to life and hostile towards God. Last time they were in power they destroyed generations of children with their covid fraud. They go after the most vulnerable and corrupt everything they touch. “ He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.” Mark 7:20-23 But yeah, let’s totally put them in charge again. They are evil people and show it every chance they get.

She had decided that some of their neighbors ere pedophiles. She had calmly and rationally planned out, not just their murder, but how to dispose of the bodies.

I find two things highly ironic: 1) She was a labor and delivery nurse, helping to bring life into the world and sharing the joy of newborn babies with their moms & dads in the delivery room. Also, comforting the same when the deliveries resulted in tragic outcomes. 2) She will, for the rest of her life be helpless and needing care and assistance to sustain her for her survival just like, her young children did. She will receive the care she needs - her children didn't fare so well.

She's insane. Criminally insane. Evil.
I don't buy the post-partum psychosis when her baby was 8mo old. The extension of it going well past a few months has changed for women like this. She was either mental to begin with & hid it, or used this diagnosis to help her actions. I don't buy it that she had three children, was apparently "normal" while looking like a bird of prey, then snapped. Planned. Researched. Then, in her psychotic mental state, was able to plan how long it would take to kill those innocents while her husband was running errands for her highness.Premeditated murder. Sure, sure, sure the med combinations skewed the diagnosis. Sure. However mental she is, she was able to think clearly enough to murder her own children and plan suicide. Also, I think she jumped out of a 2nd floor window. That typically does not kill you. As a RN I know how to cut my wrists to kill myself yet I don't. She should have known a slash or two to her wrists would not do the job. My question has always been how much did she hate her husband to do this? It's typically in the news as a revenge to the husband. She's guilty & at the very least should spend the rest of her days in prison.

Wait, hang on a second. 1. Forgiveness is for him, his heart, not hers. 2. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or excusing from consequences. He was very, very emotional on the stand. This is clearly extremely painful for him. 3. He is not standing by her. He divorced her. He could not be married to this person that killed his children. He has since remarried.

Kaitlin Bennett interviewed Lindsay Clancy supporters, with some even admitting they would hurt their own children. Others said they get all their news from TikTok
One of the top replies, and from a woman no less: "This bitch lived a privileged life with a nanny, maid, daycare, endless medical care, family support on both sides. Her husband worked from home & she still strangled the lives out of those babies. Hopefully she burns in the hottest part of hell & her supporters can fuck off."

Agree. See my comment above. I think bro is broken. But it's also possible he's just closing the door on a horrific period in his life, knowing nothing will bring the kids back, and just washing his hands of the entire ordeal. Impossible to know.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at September There may be some subconscious justification here, too, because of he said she was evil, crazy and a bad mom, he has to face the fact he left his kids with her, continued to have kids with her and stayed married to her up to this event.

To me, the Clancy trial is an amalgamation of the result of society refusing to call evil good and good evil, hollywood stanning and glazing evil antiheroes, and Tiktok mass psychosis.

These women are going to be in for a RUDE awakening when their TikTok Clancy lemming videos are used against them in custody hearings. As they should be. A friend of mine, his deranged ex-wife claimed abuse from him (false) to get a gofundme going, during their custody hearings. And she did social media posts about the divorce and used the kids as pawns for social sympathy. The judge was NOT impressed, told her to knock it off, and I think it's partly why my friend got the custody he was asking for. He totally looked like the sane one of the two, as he should.

The pink ladies cheering her should start a petition for abortion to age 18yrs. However, that's not enough time because our 1st son drove us the most insane in college. There should be extensions for murder of your children to age of graduation.
Especially for the first two years and/or when tantrums arrive. I think SCOTUS would go for this. Tantrums can cause mayhem for parents who don't have playrooms with baby gates for them or drink a glass of white whine while making dinner during the chaos (that's what I did vs murder while my dude was out of town). Our first grandgirlie, now age 5yrs, never had a single tantrum when it was normal. Now she's got some sort of (we hope) brief kindergarten psychosis of mood swings. Messing with her older brother til there is a battle. So far not harming herself or others. We assume she's tired from school, changes of her best friends going to other schools, and will adjust. Because we are normalish people who don't premeditate murder of innocents. Instead she gets sent to her room, like the Nana before her who she's like in many ways. Maybe she's planning to kill us all while she's in her room for five minutes. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 01, 2026 01:22 PM (hzuYO) 343

Heinlein was right. Either they can be cured, or they can't. If they can't, what if they escape - or are released - and kill again. How do you explain that to the family of the new victims. If they can be fixed, how can they live with what they did when they were 'sick'. Best to kill them humanely and be done with it.

Prison, mental hospital...as long as she's locked up for life, I'm fine with either.
She killed children. Her own children. Even if she was completely unable to withstand the compulsion of her depression or psychosis or whatever the fuck she's claiming, she should be taken out of society. I don't think Andrea Yates should be in prison. She was absolutely not in her right mind, and I had, and still do, compassion for her. She should be in a mental hospital, though. For the rest of her life. There was another case, can't remember her name, where a neighbor heard a woman screaming in her back yard, " not the baby, Jesus, I can't kill the baby. I can't do it, you have to, I can't " etc, just absolutely hysterical and completely out of her mind, seeing things, etc. And she had killed her other children, but even the cops at the scene talked about how she was clearly and undeniably beyond crazy. They thought she was on Crack, she was so bad. She was not on anything but prescribed psych meds. Those kinds of cases should be in mental hospitals. I don't think Clancy is one of those, but I'd be ok if she went to the nut house for life, and if she miraculously gets "cured", to prison.

Except that we aren't God. Also, Christ died while we were yet sinners. Honestly, like I said, the forgiveness is for *us*. Cutting off contact with someone who hasn't repented is valid, but not carrying the weight of that hurt is for our benefit. It's not like the unrepentant person is suffering while we suffer intensely from holding the anger/resentment/shame/whatever.

I don't doubt that at all. With newborns you are tired and your hormones are whacked for a couple of months. The problem(s) is the age of the baby: 8mo. By then babies are at a wonderful age of sleeping all night, smiling, happy. Two toddler siblings add to the general chaos. I know because I had two boys 2yrs apart. Motherhood is rough. My husband traveled a lot & I managed and did not think of harming them, ever. She was, from what I read,in a psych unit for a brief 5dy stay. Did she fake it was ok, she was just tired,will take her meds and get help, etc? I saw psychotic people of all stripes in the ED: drugs, drunks, mental illness. Not all of these can "fake it." Or are homicidal. Or could premeditate a murder of anyone. A RN would know how to "trick" the shrinks in the psych unit if needed. Correct answers. She checked herself in and then regretted it? They certainly (I would hope) did not see any homocidal tendencies that could not be helped and discharge her. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 01, 2026 01:52 PM (hzuYO) 399

If the state of Massachusetts lets her off, why not bring federal charges? By the way, the state of Massachusetts no longer has the death penalty, but the federal government does.

Completely off topic: wife (what a treasure!) and I saw Coyote v Acme yesterday. Do yourself a favor and go see this movie. Okay, I am a boomer-lawyer-Looney Tunes fan, so I was predisposed to love the flick, but still. Very well done, with endless sly Looney Tunes jokes in the background. Looks great on the big screen. And nothing woke, which is amazing considering it was actually made about four years ago.
Posted by: Martin Tell at September 01, 2026 12:38 PM (8SnSQ) Saw it over the weekend with a theater full of people. It was great! As a boomer who saw many of the Warner cartoons in the movies in the 50', then on TV in the early 60's, it was a super enjoyable flick. Lots of inside jokes as well, if you were a Loony Tunes fan. My grown son, who grew up watching them on TV was laughing as much as me. Nice to see a movie that left you smiling as you were leaving the theater. The production was very much a labor of love for the people who made the original cartoons. Posted by: thatcrazyjerseyguy at September 01, 2026 01:58 PM (hmYU4) 404
>>We simply have to accept the fact that some forms of mental illness are terminal.
Larry Niven wrote a story about this. If the individual could be rehabilitated, then that one would suicide after understanding what had happened; if not, then execution is appropriate. Damn it, need to find the name of the story now. Posted by: Nazdar at September 01, 2026 01:35 PM (NcvvS) A similar thing in a James White story about a hospital in space. Some alien of unknown origin was loose in a control area and hitting controls, messing with life support and gravity for the entire station and killing many. A doctor manages to get within shooting range of the thing and is convinced over his reluctance to shoot by someone saying - if you were doing that when out of control, what would you think if you awoke sane and learned what you did? wouldn't you want to have been shot?. So he shoots and it turns out to have been an animal after all. Posted by: Oldcat at September 01, 2026 02:00 PM (uhVAy) 405
After the mistrial, ask for sequestration to protect the jury from all the groupies, and be a little more pointed in voir dire about weeding out the women-can-do-no-wrong crowd. You can't keep determined liars off the jury, but you can eliminate some of the less sophisticated weirdos.

An unfortunate example of true psychosis was on display yesterday in, of course, NYC.
The pot-bellied slasher woman who killed a beautiful girl she did not know and attacked an elderly man. Most people who are psychotic killers are doing it on impulse vs careful planning. There are some who plan, like serial killers or school shooters. Mothers with postpartum depression must fall into the rare form who plan. She had "help" in therapy and with meds. Whether she took the meds or was consistent is unknown. Some people should never be around children. Ever. Her L&D choice of nursing is a mystery to me. All of the L&D and nursery NICU nursery nurses were wonderful and it is often a lifetime career they love life so much. Full blown psychosis is just that. Rare premeditation for days of how to kill, research from the Internet, careful planning as to when to kill. Sure, like the school killers, they have plans similar to the trans girl in TN. Evil planners. This "mother" is another level of mental psychosis. Depression. Whatever label you want to give her. At the very best I wish her a life in a prison for the insane where she can never harm another life. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 01, 2026 02:16 PM (hzuYO) 407
"To be legally insane and not culpable of a crime, you have to be so disturbed that you cannot tell right from wrong."
Massachusetts laws is broader than that, it also includes the defect preventing them from being able to comply with the law. I.e. the defect prevents them from being able to control themselves. The defense is only required to prove there is a mental defect. The burden is then on the prosecution to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defect did not prevent them from being able to comply with the law. A very high hurdle.

I know Alex the Chick will be upset but it’s time to remove women’s suffrage.
Or western civilization will cease. Posted by: The Dog at September 01, 2026 05:03 PM (nOcud) The Tuesday Morning Rant![]() Whataboutism often serves to reduce the perceived plausibility or seriousness of the original accusation or question by suggesting that the person advancing it is hypocritical or that the responder’s misbehavior is not unique or unprecedented. That is from britannica.com A great recent example comes from the golf world. Well known equipment and apparel manufacturer Callaway found them selves in hot water over an ad produces by a partner company of theirs called Good Good Golf. The backlash was strong. The outrage seems -- selective. Good Good Golf has taken the brunt of the immediate criticism and consequences. Callaway - for now at least - not so much. Not familiar with Good Good Golf? Allow Grok to summarize: Founded in 2020 by Garrett Clark, Stephen Castaneda, and Matt Scharff (later joined by others including Micah Morris and Tom Broders). Channel created July 2020; first video September 2020. Based in Frisco, Texas (founders originally from the Kansas City area). Concept: friends playing golf challenges, trick shots, and casual matches. Aimed at younger viewers rather than traditional golf TV. Matt Kendrick (previously involved with YouTube fishing channel Googan Squad) became CEO and pushed the business side — apparel, merch, events, and brand deals. Grew rapidly: main channel passed 1 million subscribers by the time of the Callaway deal and later exceeded 2 million. Expanded into hats/apparel (strong seller at Dick’s and Golf Galaxy), live events, a women’s-focused channel, and later a $45 million funding round (2025). No let's get to the current situation
The ad itself is said to be based on a movie called Obsession. From Wikipedia: Obsession is a 2025/2026 supernatural horror movie written, directed, and edited by Curry Barker, a 26-year-old filmmaker who started with YouTube/TikTok shorts and a prior low-budget film (Milk & Serial). It premiered at TIFF in September 2025, then opened theatrically in the U.S. on May 15, 2026 (Focus Features / Blumhouse involvement). Shot for about $750,000–$1 million, it became a surprise hit, grossing hundreds of millions worldwide. Bear (Michael Johnston), a shy music-store employee, has a long crush on his friend/coworker Nikki (Inde Navarrette) but can’t tell her. He uses a supernatural novelty item called the “One Wish Willow” to wish that she will fall in love with him. The wish works — but she becomes violently, unnaturally obsessed. It’s a modern “monkey’s paw / be careful what you wish for” story that starts like awkward romance and turns into horror.The ad created a firestorm. It was said to promote violence against women. The tie-in to the movie was lost on most. From Grok (citing multiple sources): CEO Matt Kendrick and Garrett Clark said the driver spot was meant as a parody of Obsession — Clark being “obsessed” with the new Callaway driver the way the movie’s characters get possessed by obsession, so anyone who touched the club would trigger that. In Clark’s later apology video he called the concept “super dumb” and “the worst ad known to man” once he saw the finished product. The connection was loose: the movie is about romantic/supernatural obsession turning dangerous, not a guy shoving someone over a golf club. Critics of the ad said the execution didn’t read as parody of that film.It really was a bad ad. But was the backlash warranted? Here's where some "whataboutism" abounds. Snickers
Michelob
And who can forget Terry Tate?
Good Good Golf has been "cancelled". Callaway terminated it's partnership with them. The partnership began in 2023 They lost a PGA Tour event title sponsorship Dick's Sporting Goods and their subsidiary Golf Galaxy pulled their products - which had been selling quite well Meanwhile, Callaway seems much less harmed. Probably because they issued this CYA memo with the proper woke homage to "diversity and inclusion"
From Nick Adams on X 1. Callaway approved this ad from Good Good 2. The full 60 second ad clearly shows that it's a skit mimicking the film Obsession, not an endorsement for violence Would I have run the ad? No, it's a bad ad. Do they deserve to have their company destroyed? Absolutely not.I agree with him completely. This is selective outrage in 2 ways - the previous ads weren't met with that kind of reaction, and Callaway isn't facing anywhere near that kind of heat. Although time will tell about the long term consequences to Callaway. Perhaps "get woke, go broke" will apply. I was a big fan of Callaway products before this situation. I spent a lot of money on Callaway irons earlier this year. I use their golf balls and have several hats and shirts of theirs. The irons are too expensive for me to get rid of. But I won't be wearing their apparel any longer. And I will be switching to a different golf ball manufacturer as well. I don't think I'm alone in this regard. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

One of the problems with the GG/Callaway ad is it relies on knowledge of a specific subset of the zeitgeist.
I would never have connected the ad to Obsession if someone hadn't pointed it out to me because I've never seen that movie. Modern advertising runs a big risk when they try to connect with the zeitgeist because pop culture is so, so fragmented these days you'll never be able to really grasp what the "cool kids" are into.

I'm not cancelling shit over it, tho. Woman gets pushed out of the way by a man. Big F*cking Deal. What happened to equality? Women can do what men, right? The hypocrisy. It knows no bounds. I f*cking HATE what they're turning the world into....... Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at September 01, 2026 11:10 AM (ccf/V) 38
Meh, I honestly don't see it as an offensive or "bad ad." It's obviously a silly ad that this guy is so obsessed with his great new golf club that social norms go out the window for him. Even without the "Obsession" connection that's obvious. But...what makes it a poor ad is that it offends enough libtardsd and AWFLs that it becomes a negative thing. Not because the ad is bad but because of the voices in their heads. Still, the ad company did their clients no service by not figuring this out ahead of time.

I'm beginning to think CNN can't be entirely trusted.
🚨 NEW: CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer just issued a “quick note of clarification” after falsely suggesting U.S. troops would be impacted by Trump's executive order cracking down on mail-in ballots following an exchange he had with Dem Virginia Gov Abigail Spanberger last week. “A quick note of clarification. We discussed legal challenges to the Trump administration’s directives for the Postal Service on mail-in voting. A comment I made suggested that U.S. military and overseas voters' ballots would be impacted by these directives. I want to be clear right now: those ballots are exempt from the Postal Service’s new rules implementing the president’s March executive order. Those groups are covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Absentee Voting Act, just to be specific on that point.” Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Mr. September 2026 at September 01, 2026 11:12 AM (ndZc7) 56

I am going to make a wild a$$ guess that it's feminists who are outraged about this. How original. I am reminded of a Super Bowl ad a few years back in which a giant rooster kicked the sh#t of a famer, set in an office - selling cornflakes or something? Ads in general have gotten meaner, weirder and sort of mystifying as to what they are trying to say/sell. Millennials are one f'd up generation, generally speaking, with obvious caveat that I don't mean ALL Millennials, nor do I want to start a flame war over this classification. They have had their perspectives warped by being the first very online generation, with early Tumblr/Reddit brain rot affecting some of them.

ShoeOnHead said the Clancy case is "OJ Simpson for women", which is perfect. We all know she's gonna skate, she's gonna collect the million-plus dollars in GoFundMe, she might even have a few more kids to murder them on stage at the DNC.
Posted by: Ian S. at September 01, 2026 11:10 AM (2ocoG) I haven't been all that plugged into the trial, and until recently I was kinda on the fence about it: not about Clancy having actually murdered her kids, but I was willing to entertain the possibility that, okay, maybe she was so out of her mind she really didn't know what she was doing. But after reading through some of the stuff last night--her calling her husband in the middle of the murdering, lawyering up the second she got to the hospital, etc.--no, she's guilty and ought to spend the rest of her life in solitary.

Ads in general have gotten meaner, weirder and sort of mystifying as to what they are trying to say/sell. Millennials are one f'd up generation, generally speaking, with obvious caveat that I don't mean ALL Millennials, nor do I want to start a flame war over this classification. They have had their perspectives warped by being the first very online generation, with early Tumblr/Reddit brain rot affecting some of them.
I think it's a reflection of modern life's absolute saturation with ads. You have to do SOMETHING to stand out from the clutter, or you're just wallpaper. Being offensive is probably the easiest way to do that. Posted by: Archimedes at September 01, 2026 11:17 AM (Riz8t) 77

It's Schrodinger's feminism: women are either YAAS QWEEN or a pathetic victim depending on what gives them the most advantage in a given situation. - - - - Sadly, this.

And if it DIDN'T have a woman it, well, that would also be sexist.
I saw a cartoon a while back with four panels. 1) Black guy has a white guy at gunpoint. Screeching communist: "Why is the black guy the criminal?" 2) White guy has a black guy at gunpoint. Screeching communist: "Racist violence against a minority!" 3) White guy has another white guy at gunpoint. Screeching communist: "No black people in this movie! Erasure of minorities!" 4) Black guy has another black guy at gunpoint. Screeching communist: "Portraying violent crime as only a problem for minorities!" On the positive side, perhaps this new ad featuring Sadie Sink, coupled with last week's Sydney Sweeney lingerie ad, signals that the era of using obese, ugly ham-beasts of indeterminate sex as "models" is over. We may hope. https://tinyurl.com/325rnrtk Am I a little fat myself? Yes. Am I therefore a hypocrite? No. I'm not pretending to be a model.

My question for anybody who has seen both the movie and now the ad is, how well does the ad actually parody the film? My guess is not well at all-- no pre-obsession set up, no supernatural MacGuffin, just a dude who inexplicably obsessed with a golf club.

I don't mind some of the Calloway offerings, for sure. They're one of the few balls, however, that sometimes my iron shots damage the cover. The grooves in the clubhead sometimes leave some slight louvers on the outside.

That means you get to go to a mental hospital until the docs decide that you're all better, then you get moved to regular prison to serve a normal sentence. Two for the price of one! This was instituted after a guy with a long history of violence, including beating a retarded supermarket bag boy to death, started getting passes from the mental hospital because they thought he was "better". Then he murdered four teens after they caught him robbing their camp site. Oops. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at September 01, 2026 11:42 AM (c+HDg) 211

The only question is how many of the women think it was acceptable to murder three children if she felt sad.

Abortion during the 1st quarter, well that’s reasonable, they assured us. At least in certain narrow circumstances and rare complications. Fast forward 20 years - 3rd Trimester.

One of the biggest drivers of the crazy that is modern society. This idea that we'll all use politics to attack each other's best interest - yet somehow put that aside and pretend its "just a difference of opinion" and still be civil at the end of the day. Fuck that. Personal Politics DO matter when Personal Politics determine who gets a job. Who can shop. Who can bank. Who can walk the street without fear and who can not. I am sick, to my guts, of the "don't let Politics ruin a relationship" crap.

Yes, I would hang this. The farmer is almost unimportant but the animals are superb. Same for the trees and landscape. The phrase that comes to mind is "The Peaceable Kingdom". The animals are relaxed, cared for, and getting settled as a storm moves in. The Young bull stands as a defense for the weaker animals. I enjoy bucolic scenes, even when somewhat idealized. (The farmer and animals are too clean for reality.) he colors are muted as the clouds gather which is restful.
Looking through Potter's Wiki page I found I prefer his realistic animals and landscapes to the humans when present. There is one that could serve for the Wolfhound club chapter of the AKC. It would have been interesting if he had done still life scenes as well as landscapes. What a loss that he died so young. Posted by: JTB at September 01, 2026 09:51 AM (yTvNw) 100

Before Potter died of tuberculosis at the age of 28 he produced about 100 paintings, working continuously. A nice Tuesday art selection. Thank you.

Basically like indoor team field hockey (on an old covered-floor ice rink) while driving bumper cars and passing/scoring by flinging a large plastic wiffleball into a small net ... using a large curved plastic basket-like glove (a la jai alai -- which used a wicker version and used to be played and gambled on in Vegas back in the day). One day I coaxed my girlfriend to come watch us play after work. She claimed afterwards that the loose shorts I was wearing were showing off my nuts while riding around in the bumper car. I blushed -- and now that awful memory was what I think of when I hear "bumper nuts." Thanks ... Posted by: ShainS at September 01, 2026 10:38 AM (m0vIZ) 227

We had one of those here... called "Whirlyball" or something like it. We didn't have anything as formal as a league, though. The son? Cousin? Nephew? of the guy who owned it was a friend of a friend, and the owner didn't mind if he brought a bunch of guys in at night after the official closing time. The advantage of this over a formal league is that you could drink. I'd bet that more than a few jobs were lost due to this. Posted by: Maggie May at September 01, 2026 10:44 AM (c+HDg) 248

Posted by: Let the punishment fit the crime at September 01, 2026 10:45 AM (TbWk/) Honestly I would like to see this encoded in law. Kill someone and you die by however you killed them. It would have a slight impact on reducing worse types of murders for semi-rational killers but more to the point it is logically consistent. You took someone's life, we will take yours in the same way. Posted by: 18-1 at September 01, 2026 10:47 AM (sKqQm) 257

Posted by: Smell the Glove at September 01, 2026 10:32 AM (rNkEQ) Recall that a couple of female jurors showed up for deliberations wearing pink. I'm sure they didn't see any news or read anything about the trial. (sarcasm) I wondered if 1st Degree murder would be hard to get a verdict on. 2nd Degree I would've thought they could agree on - especially since she already admitted she murdered her three precious kids. At a bare minimum, I hope she spends the rest of her wretched life in a state hospital never breathing free air again. Posted by: Our Country is Screwed at September 01, 2026 10:48 AM (N39Ws) 258

Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at September 01, 2026 10:55 AM (PGK1w) Businesses will be punished by lawfare if they do so. Hiring women, especially minority women, is a high-risk proposition but they don't have much of a choice. As for relationships, maybe, although men have been seeing just how polluted the pool is more and more over the past 10-15 years or so anyway. So I'm not convinced this will be a cause and effect thing since vagina privilege has been around for a very long time. But I could be wrong.

A Las Vegas jury found Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of first-degree murder on Monday in the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, bringing an end to one of the most infamous unsolved murders in hip hop.If only he had formed a band with Meatloaf, they could've been the Tupac Aday men. But, all seriousness aside, the now decomposing and Kaput Tupac was related to this evil, vile, degenerated fiend Was on the FBI’s Most Wanted List in the early 1970, Murdered NJ State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973, Escaped from prison in 1979, Had been a fugitive in Cuba since 1984 * Icon of the Black Lives Matter movement. . .Shakur was the godmother and step-aunt of the famed rapper Tupac Shakur, who was killed in a 1996 drive-by shooting. Assata Shakur died on September 25, 2025 in Havana, Cuba. According to Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, her death was due to “health conditions and advanced age.”So why is this relevant today, well look what's running for the Senate in Florida1! Angie Nixon, a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member who is vying to be the next senator of Florida, is still pulling quotes from Marxist cop killer Assata Shakur, although conveniently leaving out the origins of her words now that she secured her nomination and is trying to appeal to general election voters. . . “I’m gonna open this up for questions, but I’m gonna leave y’all with these words of a famous freedom fighter before we open it up: Assata Shakur,” Nixon said of the Marxist cop killer who at one time appeared on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s list of “most wanted” terrorists.“‘It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains,’” Nixon continued.And so are there enough spawn of Beelzebub and Pazuzu in Florida to actually drag this freak over the finish line? But what of the rest of the nation?! “The Democrat Party is becoming the party of socialism. Fifty-eight percent view socialism positively. 50 percent view capitalism negatively. I’m a proud free market capitalist. This is lunacy,” posted Senator Fetterman (D-PA) on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this month in reference to a similar poll, which revealed that Democrats have a more positive view of socialism than capitalism. . . However, while it is clear that support for socialism and communism has grown within the Democratic Party, far-left ideologies remain widely unpopular. For instance, despite New York City’s election of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is a member of the DSA, a poll published earlier this month found that only 30 percent of people in New York state support the organization.And yet, and yet, and yet... There is something redolent here of the seeming takeover of the Democrat Party half a century ago by a younger generation of voters and activists opposed to the Vietnam War that resulted in the nomination of George McGovern in 1972 and had a continual influence on elected Democrats and policymakers through most of the 1970s and 1980s. That came from a protest movement incubated on college and university campuses, centered on Vietnam but also influenced by tomes such as Charles Reich’s 1970 “The Greening of America.” Similarly, the great motivating cause of DSA-adjacent Democrats seems to be statehood for Gaza, opposition to Israel, and, in very many cases, hostility toward Jews.And speaking of "And yet" This Obama Advisor Just Denounced the DSA... HE'S RUNNING: "They believe in defunding the police, letting prisoners out of prisons, opening the borders, eliminating the Pentagon," former Barack Obama advisor and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said on Fox News Sunday, denouncing his party's Democratic Socialist rivals. Emanuel continues testing the waters for a presumed 2028 presidential run.For those unaware, not only is Rahm a Jew - by birth since his entire life is wholly unholy and antithetical to Judaism, America and civilization, but I believe his lineage is Israeli so you can multiply no shot in hell by orders of magnitude right there! With that, and speaking of steak knives... I'll leave you with this lovely local crime story as I begin to plan my trip back to my old hometown... A maniac was shot dead by police in the heart of Times Square Monday after she stabbed two people, one fatally, and confronted cops while wildly waving two knives and threatening to kill them, the NYPD said. The caught-on-camera mayhem erupted in the Crossroads of the World after Pamela Cisneros, 49, randomly knifed a man and a woman in a 20-second span near West 41st Street and Seventh Avenue just before 4:30 p.m., cops said. . . Cops spoke to the woman for four minutes and gave her “numerous commands” to drop the knives, but she refused, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a press conference on Monday night. “I’m not dropping anything, I would rather kill both of you. I will kill you,” Cisneros told cops during the encounter, Tisch said. Officers discharged several tasers at Cisneros, but they “proved to be ineffective,” and she continued charging toward officers with the knives, according to Tisch. . . Two officers then opened fire, striking the Cisneros, who had a known history of mental illness with the department. She was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital.Well, too bad that Rahm lost a potential voter!!! Not that being dead is a deterrent to ever casting a ballot for a Democrat, as we know all to well...But sadly and frighteningly there are thousands more just like this now mercifully ventilated psychopath who will go after any and all of us at the drop of a hat, because we're Trump voters, Jews or just normal Americans... And with that I bid you all to... Have a good day.

“The Democrat Party is becoming the party of socialism. Fifty-eight percent view socialism positively. 50 percent view capitalism negatively.
Maybe in small software projects or home remodeling there is Capitalism but everything else out there is about 30% Socialism and Maybe 50% Capitalism. The other 20% regulations, rules, and taxes really move our system closer to a Socio-Controlled Semi-Market that forces consumer into a Trade Off world. And the Four Pillars of US Social Spending; SS, Medicare/Caid, and Food Stamps are basically 50% socialist public benefits 25% graft and greed and 25% regulation and paperwork.

Rivera was granted a green card on this forgery, proceeded to enlist in the US Air Force, and was granted US citizenship.

True capitalism has never been tried.
What we have now is the "third" way socialism of the 60s and 70s--socialism supported by a limited free market. What the youth hate now--and call capitalism--is 50 years of increasing government control over the economy. No one who supports socialism can explain what is wrong with capitalism--what they identify as the evils of capitalism are the inevitable result of businesses exploiting government regulations.

108 President Trump ordered a shock voter fraud crackdown on Monday in nine states, including Washington, Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York, and Connecticut.
It starts on Tuesday. Homeland Security Investigations, ICE’s investigative arm, will launch what officials are calling a ‘coordinated criminal voter fraud surge initiative to pursue investigative leads, conduct field interviews, and support timely prosecutorial review.’ Agents will be authorized to pursue investigative leads through mid-October — right as the midterm election season gets underway.

Laubacher's massive 10-1 fundraising advantage over Boebert, however, is in part thanks to donors who don't live in Colorado's fourth district. The bulk of the $10.3 million Laubacher raked in through June came from supporters whose contributions are so small their identities can remain hidden. But if the itemized donations are any indication, Laubacher would represent very few of them.

VulnCheck researcher Jacob Baines registered an abandoned internet address that Speakingstone had been programmed to contact. Routers began sending information to it almost immediately, according to VulnCheck.
By Aug. 21, 392 routers had contacted the researchers. Of those, 390 were in China, and 83 percent were connected through China Mobile. Another 304 used Wi-Fi names beginning with "CMCC," China Mobile's commonly used abbreviation. Baines also detailed the figures in an Aug. 27 post on X. Most - 363 of the 392 routers - were the same model running the same software version. Baines said the pattern appeared to be a large deployment of routers provided by a telecommunications carrier to customers inside China. VulnCheck described it as "domestic Chinese surveillance technology." Posted by: SMOD at September 01, 2026 08:36 AM (wYwUY) 157

President Donald Trump has endorsed a federal tax incentive for film and television with the aim of shifting production back to the United States.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) detailed the Hollywood decline during a Burbank City Hall chambers meeting by noting that roughly 45 percent of all U.S. films and scripted shows are being shot abroad. Schiff said more 42,000 jobs have been lost along with livelihoods and careers, adding that entertainment projects are being “lured abroad” by “foreign governments that have invested aggressively in building their own film industries.” The senator noted that 45 percent of all U.S. films and scripted television shows last year were shot abroad – a full 12 percent spike from 2022’s 33 percent.

Democrats plan is to publicly distance themselves from their radical candidates who now form a majority in their party while privately assuring them once they gain power, it’s game on with the destruction. It’s a move that in concert with their voter fraud they believe will get them a majority.
This ain’t just the DSA and what Rahm is trying to do is distract voters from the comments, promises and proposed policies of current Democrat senators and House members. They are the ones pushing impeachment, investigations, refunding the fraud, stacking the Supreme Court and getting rid of the senate filibuster. None of this, and I mean exactly zero is going to improve the lives of anyone. In fact it will make things worse. Trump’s and the Republicans agenda is starting to pay dividends. Taxes are lower, prices are coming down, and oil is poised for a big drop. Manufacturing is skyrocketing and wages are starting to rise. Employment in key industries is improving.

173 It’s a simple yet mind-bending concept: an ultra-strong electrified cable running from a point on the ground at Earth’s equator, extended out beyond geostationary orbit (GEO), where a counterweight will float in space keeping it taut. Vessels then climb the cable to deliver goods, people and machines, passing through the atmosphere and into space.

VDH says it all right there. Mankind is proving once again the hazards of prosperity.

Duane's big mistake was wrath. He ordered the killing of one of the most famous young black men in the world, over a relatively small pecadillo. There were many better ways to handle his Tupac problem.
If he had stuck to calling shots on non-famous young black men, he'd still be killing people and turning their lives into flashy jewelry as we speak, because nobody cares about them, even in their own communities. They sure cared about 'Pac, though. He's the dog who caught the drop-top Eldorado with the 26" rims. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at September 01, 2026 08:49 AM (BI5O2) 204

Too close to the limit, a legal claim would be made that you only ended the relationship so you wouldn't be legally liable for costs that would have been incurred if the relationship had lasted 3 years, per the law. Go instead with a practical limit of 30 months minus a day, aka: A Six month window. This is the same standard governments use when deciding if a foreign passport holder may enter the country. If your passport is up for renewal within 6 months, it may well not be valid for entry because they can't guarantee your passport will stay valid during your entire stay.

One of the most galling aspects of all this lawfare is that so much of it is run through 501(c)(3) organizations, meaning organizations whose activities are effectively subsidized by taxpayers. They then use the aura of “IRS approved nonprofit” status to confer a kind of legitimacy on themselves, as though the government has somehow endorsed what they do. It has not. These are private activist organizations pursuing their own agendas.
The ballroom case is even more egregious because the 501(c)(3) pushing this utterly ridiculous lawfare calls itself the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, a name that sounds governmental even though the organization is entirely private. Incredibly, it sits on half a billion dollars in reserves and brings in around $100 million a year. There is something deeply grotesque about a system in which organizations with resources on that scale enjoy taxpayer subsidized status and then deploy those resources to wage lawfare against the outcome of the democratic process.

One specific thing I've seen played out repeatedly, the media has led women to believe there are more tall men, more ripped men, and more wealthy men then there are. I've seen "on the street" interviews where the interview asks women what they want in a man and it comes out to a fraction of a percent of men in America. Avg Height: 5'9 Avg Income: $55K Avg Weight: 199 lbs So if you want 6 ft, 6 figures and a 6 pack well...unless you are also a "1%" you aren't getting it. Though on the flip side as advice for men while you can't do anything about your height, and income is hard to increase, any guy can improve your level of fitness with a small investment of time...

Posted by: ... at September 01, 2026 09:13 AM (j6dNk) A lot of it is simple risk assessment. Men will fight against encroaching outsiders, because they'll be killed if they don't. Women will usually be kept alive by the outsiders, even if it's a lower status life. They just want to optimize for status. Slavery is better than death, so they have zero motivation to resist if they think the outsiders are stronger. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at September 01, 2026 09:21 AM (BI5O2) 325

One specific thing I've seen played out repeatedly, the media has led women to believe there are more tall men, more ripped men, and more wealthy men then there are.
I've seen "on the street" interviews where the interview asks women what they want in a man and it comes out to a fraction of a percent of men in America. Avg Height: 5'9 Avg Income: $55K Avg Weight: 199 lbs So if you want 6 ft, 6 figures and a 6 pack well...unless you are also a "1%" you aren't getting it. Though on the flip side as advice for men while you can't do anything about your height, and income is hard to increase, any guy can improve your level of fitness with a small investment of time... Posted by: 18-1 ======= I think that like a lot of media tropes, this one only applies to a certain population of women. Those attending somewhat prestigious colleges, are urbanites/suburbanites and with high SES jobs. Like the blue collar class for men is invisible, so is the blue collar class of women. And that goes double for rural areas. Gell-Mann amnesia all over again. A media that lies on polling and politics, lies on sociology, lies on foreign news reports, etc. Including lies of omission.

Interesting but no surprise Rahm Emanuel is tossing his hat into the 2028 presidential hopefuls' ring. Reportedly, O is out there, though mostly behind the scenes, and likely willing to support AOC but the Clintons are not onboard with that. Rahm Emanuel, a mixed bag of politics, served as a senior advisor to President Bill Clinton; a U.S. Congressman from Illinois; White House Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama; Mayor of Chicago, and U.S. Ambassador to Japan. Even as a U.S. Ambassador, he pushed standard diplomatic boundaries and established a reputation as a combative "warrior diplomat." His aggressive public messaging trolled China, pushed LGBTQ+ rights in Japan, etc., as he basically did his own thing...as always. And he belongs to a highly prominent, hyper-competitive trio of brothers. Continued - Posted by: L - No nic at September 01, 2026 10:21 AM (NFX2v) 377
Brother billionaire Ari Emanuel is an entertainment executive, the real-life inspiration for the Hollywood super-agent in Entourage.
Dr. Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel is a renowned oncologist, bioethicist, and University of Pennsylvania professor. He served as a key health policy advisor during the Obama administration, helping design the Affordable Care Act. In October 2014, he authored a highly controversial essay for The Atlantic titled “Why I Hope to Die at 75.” Remember Biden Inc.'s Penn connections? And Dr. Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel played a major role in shaping Joe Biden’s pandemic strategy, serving as a core scientific voice during both the 2020 presidential campaign and the official White House transition period. Immediately after winning the 2020 election, President-elect Biden appointed Dr. Emanuel as one of the 16 members of his official Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board. The doctor was a fierce proponent of strict vaccine mandates and used his platform to construct private-sector momentum that supported the Biden administration's broader goals.

So, now here to stay. (Did ya know mandatory public health disease surveillance is legally exempt from standard consumer privacy consent rules under state reporting laws?)
And regarding PA's newest debacle, the Shapiro administration’s proposed 500-page update to Chapter 27 of the PA Code, with several "concerns" that the updated administrative rules that could lay the groundwork to revive pandemic-era overreach, specifically to & for the newer county Boards of Health - which are totalitarian in nature, completely unnecessary, overstaffed with not the highest degree of personnel, and flat broke. But if PA Governor Josh Shapiro and the state Health Secretary didn't hold a press conference & try to spin the death of an Amish infant to a state health department upgrade, the backlash to the update may have gone largely unnoticed. (The alleged 2nd person wasn't documented. Ha!) The moral is even the more 'conventional' Democrats are an untrustworthy lot, and that includes Rahm Emanuel. --- 🤗 Posted by: L - No nic at September 01, 2026 10:21 AM (NFX2v) 379

Good morning. all!. I am glad that your hat sold. I have always thought it would be a good idea to sell things on the Internet, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at September 01, 2026 *** Good morning, Fen, No, it's not difficult to sell on eBay, though I suppose if you had lots of items (a "store"), it could get tough to keep it all straight. You take pics of the item and get them on your computer, write up the description, then sign in to eBay and follow its "How to sell" instructions. It will tell you the fields to fill out and when to upload the pics. I kept it simple with the hats: No returns, honest descriptions. You estimate the weight of the package when it is mailed -- put it into its box and bring it to the post office to be weighed, or go to Office Depot. EBay calculates a range of shipping prices for you based on that weight and your zip code. When it sells, you print out a prepaid shipping label, which deducts some money from your payout (but the buyer paid for it), package it up, and ship it.

I am reading "True Grit" again after about 30 years. It is very entertaining. I had to laugh at this quote on the back, because my son is a Cormac McCarthy fan, and Roy Blount, Jr says this about McCarthy and Charles Portis: "Charles Portis could be Cormac McCarthy, but he'd rather be funny." My son disagreed. He finds Cormac McCarthy funny.

Except for its ending, the John Wayne-Kim Darby film is a very faithful adaptation of the novel, almost as much as Polanski's Rosemary's Baby was the year before. The new movie with Jeff Bridges is faithful too, but it is drab and colorless --"ashen," as one of our commenters said about another film.

Temp of 81 F. now. I don't want to look up the heat index, as it will cause me not to work out. When I get back I can check and have my heat stroke retroactively.

Fen, if you want to keep it simpler, you can pay for the shipping instead of the buyer. Just set your price a bit higher to cover it. I suppose it'll work the same: You enter the weight of the total package and the destination zip code (or eBay gets it from the buyer), and the shipping label will take care of it by deducting that from your payout.

"Amazon's HR leader used AI to write 100,000 lines of code -- 25 years after she last coded."
And how efficient and optimized is that code? If the code a human designed and wrote would run in O(n) time, but the AI generated something that runs in O(n log n), or worse yet O(n^2) time, it might look okay on a single instance run but as soon as that thing has to scale up, the time delay is going to make itself felt harshly (the total runtime will be ghastly long.) I've experienced this personally on a project (way before the days of LLM generated code.) A module written by another project team member was imperceptibly slower on a single call when used by an end-user, but when it was called repeatedly in a large-scale batch processing run, it caused the total run time of the batch to balloon from 2 to 3 hours into days. (He wasn't paying attention to the efficiency.) It's starting to make sense why they want a ridiculous number of data centers with the obscene amount of processing power. They're willing to lean hard on the hardware layer to make up for code that is generated quickly, but is inefficient, or at least that's my guess. Ugh. I hope I'm wrong. I fear I'm right.

Oops! Hit "post" too soon.
The newer True Grit is a worthy adaptation, I guess. Bridges is pretty good, though he does mumble a few of the lines; the actress playing Mattie is actually close to Mattie's age; Matt Damon makes a good Texas Ranger, and Josh Brolin a good Tom Chaney. But, like so many movies nowadays, it's filmed in a drab style, and night scenes are so dark you find it hard to tell who's speaking or doing whatever is going on in the scene. This one does give you the book's ending, though, if that's important. Personally I love the 1969 film's ending.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke I actually prefer the more recent version because I always thought Kim Darby as Maddie was terrible casting. Glen Campbell too. Brolin as Tom Chaney comes across as meaner and maybe a little mentally slow. The scene in the courthouse is great and I liked the music. The language kept me on my toes like when they came across the hanged man and Maddie asked why they hanged him so high up in the tree and Rooster said "I do not know. Perhaps in the belief it would make him more dead." Posted by: Blutarski, Gradually then Suddenly at September 01, 2026 06:04 AM (l26NL) 42

My own "coding heroism" story: Working in FoxPro, I was asked to improve the processing time of a report. Digging into it, I found the programmer had set it up to compare every single record in a 1000-record table with every record in another 1000-record table. One million comparisons every time the report ran -- an hour or more!
There were only about twenty-five records that met the condition needed for the report. I set up a relation between the two tables and searched for the condition in the first table, then looked to see if the corresponding record had been found in the second. If so, do some stuff; if not, go back to the first table and search again. The report ran in a few minutes, and I looked like a genius. (Until I got laid off, that was.)

It was great for a few years. Could make some picks at garage sales for a small, but useful profit. eBay made bank on 5%, I think it’s 15% now?
They decided every seller is like LL Bean, lifetime warranty. I think a buyer has a year to decide “I don’t want it” and demand a refund. Sometimes you’ll see sellers try to say “All sales final. No returns” Doesn’t work that way. In fact it works opposite, they have an option “Seller accepts returns” - this actually protects against that, because return shipping costs are on the buyer in that situation. Weeds a lot of the scammers out that way. “Used” items can be a minefield to sell. Most people don’t expect a 75 year old antique to be in perfect running order, but that’s what it means to eBay. “For Parts Only” is your friend here. Many minefields on the new and improved eBay. For a while it was nice, apparently. 20+ years ago. Posted by: Common Tater at September 01, 2026 06:57 AM (IkLDu) Posted by: Notsothoreau at September 01, 2026 06:58 AM (bkuEU) 95

I'm not against data centers, per se, but that's a dumb thing Trump said. These data centers don't employ many people at all, and none from a given local area, unless it's already an engineering center.
There's probably some tax revenue involved, but it can't be much - these companies aren't headquartered in the far flung areas where they build them, and the data centers aren't selling products that can generate sales tax revenues at the local level. They are not building out power infrastructure or paying utilities to do it as used to be the case with most industrial capacity, and the burden of demand is spread amongst customers. I do not see how a data center can make a big difference in the overall wealth of some community or another. That doesn't add up.

One count. I suppose you could say "something happened":
A Marina Del Rey woman earned a slap on the wrist after she pled guilty to bombshell charges that she paid homeless people on Skid Row to register to vote in a 20-year scheme tied to illegal petition signature collection. Armstrong in May took a plea deal for one felony count of paying another person to register to vote in a federal election. On Monday she was sentenced to 18 months of probation and ordered to perform 120 hours of community service by U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi. Posted by: fd at September 01, 2026 06:59 AM (MWfyi) ---- How convenient. Most elections are two years apart. So she can serve her eighteen months probation and get right back into the vote fraud business. Absolutely disgraceful Posted by: JM in Illinois at September 01, 2026 07:07 AM (llBIB) 111

@97/sock_rat_eez: "amazon story just confirms what I've known for months; they're vibe-coding their storefront, and it is losing little bits of functionality here and there."
THIS. When going to manage my "content library" (which contains Amazon purchased books, as well as Documents uploaded via the Send-to-Kindle function), the "Docs" (Documents) portion was completely GONE. Thankfully there's still a link on the new user interface to the old interface, at least for now, so I can still manage uploaded Documents. Also, the new interface is missing the page selector, which lets you select a given index page full of books in your library, or simply key it in by number at the end of the URL. "Oh, nobody has hundreds or thousands of books in their library, we can get rid of that, the user can just scroll infinitely until they find their title." IDJITS.

During his last hospitalization I went up to help out and came home to a sick wife who had to go to the ER. She almost died from septic shock due to a perforated ulcer. Not going thru that again so I stayed home. She's still sick today, flu-like symptoms, so glad I stayed. You have to prioritize things.

Greetings Everyone! Thank you MIs Hum for content.
Tonight is the final night of our RV odyssey. We left our California home Aug 3.Tomorrow we expect to return in the early evening. We made it as far east as the Mississippi, stopping in Hannibal, Mo and Lake Village, Arkansas. We went to three Buc-ee's. Had great steaks at Prime 9 in Dodge City, Ks and Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo. We suffered torrential downpours a number of times*, with accompanying howling wind and lightning and thunder, including one storm at Lake Chicot SP which knocked out power for 5 hours overnight and dropped a tree branch h on the camper. On the plus side, it's a beautiful park and we practically had it all to ourselves. • For context, I can count on one hand the number of times we've had howling wind, lightning and rain in the 45+ years I've lived in So.

The whack job leftys want the next Democrat president to tear down the new White House ballroom as first order of business. They have a kind of wish list, which also includes you, or anyone who voted for him.
Years ago, it was obvious to me that the left had a death grip on certain things, and would never really accept a peaceful democratic change of plans, as it were. It’s always their way or the highway. They would go completely scorched earth, was my conclusion. I got that pegged correctly anyway. Posted by: Common Tater at August 31, 2026 10:21 PM (IkLDu) 85

We’ve had several sunsets like that one from the Hopland Fire this year, but to this point the various fire agencies have been jumping on the fires in California pretty quickly, especially with air attack.

May not seem like it most days, but we live in an age of wonders. In this case, some one decided that box office bomb "Mars Attacks" needed a 4K release, and I just finished watching it.
This film was a very early entry in the CGI realm, and you can tell because the folks doing the effects really went all in to make them terrific. As opposed to CGI in later films where it was some guy took a course. These weren't settlers, they were pioneers and the effects look awesome 30 years later. Also, this was the film that told me "You must be someone who creates computer animation." So there's that. Somewhere I've got 3D Martians that I built myself.

Evening, all.
The job search continues - the 'interview' today was a screening call, and while the job posting said "A and/or B, C and/or D", I had A and C, and they secretly wanted B and D, they had plenty of people for A and C. Oh well. No word back yet from last Friday's interview - which seems like a good fit, from my angle - and no word on the other interview I'm pre-expecting this week. But it's 'only' Monday, I suppose. If I have a job by then, I may try to attend the TxMoMe, it's closer than I thought.

96 The Feds should buy the California refineries (at a more than fair price) that are being forced to close by socialist overregulation, then use Pre-emption to overrule the state and run the facilities profitably. They really do have a legitimate national security interest in fuel availability for all their military assets in the area, and in particular the supply for a hypothetical war with a country that rhymes with China. Posted by: SciVo --- Yes. And, The Fed will eventually take over greater parts of the West Coast. It will segregate all Federal properties from the indigenous peoples and their rules. Military presence will increase to insure safety and security of fed properties, which will increase by community petition and acquisition for more bases and import infrastructure. Parks and joined communities will be safe for tourists and communities within the new federal jurisdiction.

At the stellar and solar system scale, a galactic collision is nothing. Think of two swarms of bees merging together. From a distance, you see two blobs hitting each other. At the scale of the individual bees, nothing much happens. In the aftermath, some stars get ejected from the galaxy, the big central black holes merge and all that, but for any individual star, nothing much happens. The view of Andromeda looming large in the sky a few billion years from now will be spectacular. Of course, life on earth will be gone by then anyway.

Did a lot of domestic flying in the 80s, just after deregulation. As Franpsycho says, it was mostly great. Not that many people flying, usually. Row to yourself. Once you learned the tricks, very easy. The current self-inflicted dangerous and immensely time-consuming idiocies such as carry-on luggage didn't exist yet. You could carry on, but most people didn't bring that much, as they weren't yet obsessed with never going to the baggage area.
Did lots of domestic and int'l flying after that golden era faded, but there was a 2nd golden-ish era just before 9/11, before airlines right-sized (so still lots of excess capacity). The excess capacity met the internet era in the 90s, and again if you knew what you were doing, amazing prices. I once flew RT DC-SD for around $130. There was a period where you could use the new ticket sites like Orbitz to pretty much determine the minimum fares offered on a given itinerary. Then you could go to Priceline and bid just perfectly to get the lowest fare possible. Posted by: rhomboid at August 31, 2026 10:51 PM (U/Byj) 175

Had great steaks at Prime 9 in Dodge City, Ks and Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo.
Posted by: Anonymous Rogue in Kalifornistan (ARiK's phone) at August 31, 2026 10:20 PM (9uADs) Big Texan was where I had my worst steak ever. We sent Little's prime rib back, as it was undercooked and had a lobe of fat that had no business coming out of the kitchen. I ordered the Texas strip, which I'm pretty sure was previously frozen, and I'm damn sure was served in a pool of beef bullion. Friend of mine raved about the place, but I'll not be back..

Big Texan was where I had my worst steak ever. We sent Little's prime rib back, as it was undercooked and had a lobe of fat that had no business coming out of the kitchen. I ordered the Texas strip, which I'm pretty sure was previously frozen, and I'm damn sure was served in a pool of beef bullion. Friend of mine raved about the place, but I'll not be back..

"Also, no fatties."
Not just accurate but actually pretty meaningful. Flew for the first time in ages a few weeks ago, and there were two people in the boarding area I feared we'd be next to. Sad. Fortunately didn't happen. Once on a work trip thru Yurrup our group got the 6 middle seats of a .... DC-10? It was late 90s. We were stuck on the ground for 3 hours by t-storms at Newark. Person on the end had an enormous obese person next to them. Quite a treat for 8 hours. Posted by: rhomboid at August 31, 2026 10:57 PM (U/Byj) 193

Most of the problems with flying today are crowding, and carry-on idiocy. Other than that, med/short flying is the same. Of course the ridiculous system of charging for checked bags is just useless annoyance, as it just be included in the ticket price as before. Almost literally no savings or profit to be gained by the airline. All the labor and infrastructure are built to handle all the luggage as they were prior to charging.
So now the carry-on idiocy, which was already stupid and a huge stain on the FAA, became much worse, as people struggled to save $35 by taking everything in carry-on. So now you have comically delayed boarding/deboarding times, along with injuries and disputes. Took 20/twenty minutes to get off a plane in Denver on the way to Miami 2 years ago. No special incidents/passengers/etc, just took that long. Twenty minutes to get off a plane. Used to be 5-10 max in the old days. Posted by: rhomboid at August 31, 2026 11:04 PM (U/Byj) 214

Brought forward from JJ's MR,
This coming weekend, you'll see firefighters collecting money for MDA during their fill the boot campaign. I would encourage everyone not to give their money to this effort. While the money does go to research, some of this money is given back to the IAFF, the firefighter's union. Since 2007, the IAFF has received over $15 million from MDA. It's a kickback scheme for the union. One year I looked at, the IAFF was the second largest recipient of MDA money, only behind John's Hopkins. Don't fall for the "this money only goes to helping kids with MD." Posted by: AnchorPoint at August 31, 2026 11:12 PM (J3Cv/) 232

That Sagittarius Dwarf wasn't discovered until the '90s -- It's close on the other side of the Galaxy. The first pass it made through our disc was around 6 billion years ago. And that likely triggered a burst of star formation, of which our Sun and solar system were likely part of. So that thing is sort of our daddy or something. It also caused a ripple or wave structure in the disc. If you looked at the Milky Way edge on, you'd see a little wave structure, not just a flat edge.

Franpsycho all our trains were nice and new (this was almost a decade earlier). And I still regret noticing that the glass-holders (podstakainiks) on one train featured ...... Stalin. Instead of just pocketing it quietly, I mentioned it, and sure enough 6-7 more were discovered and tucked away.
Next morning - Lvov? - a hilarious Hogan's Heroes scene developed. Our group leader had to deal with the furious dezhurnaya who ran our car (this system also explained why the cars we used were clean). She wasn't letting us out of the station til the things were returned. So the culprits including mois silently passed the things - behind our backs to those standing next to us, til they were gathered by the group leader. He was not happy with us (this was a US professor). Didn't know I could easily pick up Stalin knick-knacks in Georgia decades later. Still would have been a score.

Reprise:
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Treasury Department@SecScottBessent In her latest sciolistic letter to me, @SenWarren made it clear that she knows even less about foreign exchange markets than she does about banking. What is equally shocking, but not surprising: not a single member of the media mob has a rudimentary-enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error. To reiterate: under @POTUS, the United States delivers for America’s trusted partners. For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take any entry level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on Foreign Exchange for Dummies. Although I am not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan.

I have no problems with regular rice...just Budweiser products. (Fun Fact: Budweiser can sell their garbage in Germany even though it doesn't pass the beer purity laws aka "Reinheitsgebot" due to the rice, but the EU claimed it was a violation of free trade....but they can't use the Budweiser name because a real beer, Czech Bud uses it.

Well, since everyone is bitching about air travel... Alaska Airlines, which is my go-to for several reasons, just bumped my November flight from a very reasonable mid-morning departure to a "why bother going to sleep at all?" zero-dark-thirty departure. I guess the good news is that the sleep deprivation will help me adjust to the different time zone once I land. Bleh.

I do still have one workaround for viewing X videos, despite Eloon's war on helpful websites (tweetviewer.com is now gone, apparently).
I create a web page and embed the videos in it. Tedious, but I can watch them without joining X. And once I've got a bunch, like all of a cafe's worth, on a webpage, it's easy to go through them all. When Eloon kills embed viewing, I'll quit watching X vids. Even Ace's cute cafe vids. What's funny is, before they killed off twitterviewer and twitter webviewer, and the ability of anybody to watch them on x itself, I was seriously considering getting an x account myself.

After seeing The Longest Day in the theater as a kid, I bought the book and discovered that one of my neighbors had been present. I asked Art about D Day. He said he had been a mere ensign at the time and didn't get near the beach itself. Sadly, I was too young at the time to realize what questions to ask and how to ask them. And to be honest, our dads, uncles, and their friends did not talk to anyone outside of their fellow vets about their experiences. Had I been older and more trained in the art of history I might have gotten more out of those men than a couple of humorous stories.

I scald my plums and let the soak in the water before putting them in the jars. It gets them to shrink a bit in the bowl so they shrink less in the jar.
The current ripe tree is some sort of yellow egg, and it doesn't make decent jam, though it is a wonderful cooking plum. I take it that you are canning the Italian type plums? Posted by: Kindltot at September 01, 2026 12:58 AM (rbvCR) 309
Nice work, frammish!
My canning days are over, I think. Well, I dunno-- it's just so much work and now there's hardly anyone left to share the bounty. I used to can 2 boxes (16-20lb each) of peach halves every summer.

Got a good day in today. Did some more fiberglass work on the dune buggy body, and some areas are looking like they are done, and all potential repair sites have had at least one dab of filler or a couple of layers of glass/resin put down. One the downhill slope of that job.
Put a ladder up, and caulked some gaps around the south wall kitchen window of the house. Last driving rain with a South wind, water was pouring in at the top of the window. I think the entry points are now sealed off. And I squirted a whole can of spray foam sealant on the flange of the septic tank. Didn't stick too well. Good thing I bought 2 cans. Anyway, a busy day, and I am tired. Going to call it a night. Later, Horde. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 01, 2026 12:59 AM (1z8ji) 311
308 I take it that you are canning the Italian type plums?
I dunno! My wife picked out the tree. The jam is good though. We planted it maybe 10 years ago. The triple-variety pear tree died within two years. (That same spot has since killed a dogwood and a weeping cherry, and a star magnolia is clinging to its bitter withered life.) The two apple trees do okay, I guess. One of the cherry trees is still mostly a vertical twig with leaves, and the other never produces enough to survive the birds and 7 & 5yo. But the plum tree is a huge success. The four little ones helped me with everything yesterday, along with two of their friends: climbing the ladder (or just the tree), picking, cutting, etc. Posted by: frammish at September 01, 2026 01:05 AM (rcENI) 312

My 11yo got really into canning a year ago when we did some asparagus. I don't think I'd do it if it wasn't a family activity. And I'm blessed to have in-laws in Tacoma who appreciate the gifts.

Canning is best when it is a family sport. Dad would get me to can applesauce and pears with him. Mom never wanted help canning peaches or jam, but she would send me out to the orchards to pick them for her.

Posted by: frammish ------ No, that's a plum liqueur. You want slivovitz, you start with the plums, mash them up and let them ferment. The whitish coating on grapes and plums are a natural yeast, you don't need to add any yeast, they will ferment on their own. The result is plum wine. Distill it. Viola'! Slivovitz.

My dad was at Hanscom AFB, and we lived in Chelmsford. All the houses on our block had an acre of woods in the back. What a place for a boy! My mom says she would drive into Boston and buy the lobster from the fisherman off the dock. That was in the late 70s/early 80s. When I was six we moved to a suburb in California. A good town, but I lamented that for years. After college I moved back to Boston for five more years and had a blast there.

Pressure cooking is not hard, the worst parts are accidentally touching the pot with your arm while it is at temperature, and cooking in the kitchen making it hot indoors in the late summer.
The best thing to do is buy a copy of the Ball Blue Book of canning, and follow the instructions. I canned potatoes this year, and I will be canning beans. It is just the processing time. Posted by: Kindltot at September 01, 2026 01:52 AM (rbvCR) 340

Frammish--
Cook down your Oregon Grapes, at least a dry gallon worth, with just enough water to cover them. Mash 'em up & simmer about 10 minutes. Put into jelly bag and let the juice drain. Should yield 3-4 cups of juice. Add apple juice (either homemade or bottled) no more than half and half apple:O.Grape, to make enough for a batch of jelly-- follow your favorite "Concord Grape" recipe from there.

I didn't realize that the berries were in any way edible because, after hearing the word "grape", I tried one. Ptooie!
Props for picking them, though. The leaves were just like holly: pointy, sharp and dangerous. Posted by: buddhaha Oh, yeah! They're not pleasant, right off the bush. And very 'buggy' in these parts. Washing and picking off the stems is a real PITA! Takes a whole afternoon to get one good batch. The apple juice sweetens it up, dilutes the very strong flavor, and adds pectin.

Mrs. BD and I just picked some grape here at our vacation home in northern Israel. They taste like mango candies! Much more will ripen in a few weeks.

I also froze about 8 gallons of raspberries, big honkin' variety, grows wild now along the garden. I whacked those down to the ground this spring, and now they are taller than DH and thick as snot. Have to wear long sleeves to harvest.
I think there's still about that much out there, but I have nowhere to put all of it. Got a friend coming to collect a bunch tomorrow, and the contractor takes some home most evenings. I will need to market the damned things next year. Is there such a thing as raspberry wine? Hmm... Posted by: tcn in AK at September 01, 2026 02:11 AM (dEHLq) 352
A tiny flat of raspberries at the store runs about $8. If I figure that out to 8 gallons.... I'm way ahead.

Website says I can also grow one of three varieties of grapes up here too. Maybe that's next year's adventure. DH is dying to make wine and/or hard cider, but our apple trees are crabapples and make rotten cider. He is the arborist, so next year I think he will be replacing those with something useful.
Website also says that most vintners up here do a mix of berries with their grape wines, so the raspberry thing might make a good mix. Sounds like a fancy project. Now, where in hell do you buy grape vines up here? Posted by: tcn in AK at September 01, 2026 02:21 AM (dEHLq) 362

There's a huge mess of blackberry behind Dad's house. One year, I spent about an hour picking them & *filled* a 5-gallon bucket! Had purple hands and scabby scraped forearms for a few days, but it was worth it.
So many berries-- I made seedless BB jam. Cut the yield (which was fine with me) by half because they're so very seedy. Oh, it was divine. Posted by: JQ at September 01, 2026 02:32 AM (rdVOm) 370
Gave a couple pints of peach jam to a friend, who told me later that she'd used it as glaze for her Christmas ham & just raved about it, begging for more. Of course I obliged...

I have an apricot tree in the backyard that came with the house. I'm guessing it's at least 40 years old. Generally a late frost will take out all the blossoms and wipe out that year's crop. Occasionally I'll get a bumper crop and force myself to make apricot jam, which I give away as fast as I can.

I have my mom's Pink Elephant flip book from the 1950's, all the weird cocktails served at many a house party through the 70's. She included her hand written recipe for rum punch, which is very boozy and probably not entirely safe for consumption in large quantities. And it did get consumed. Oh yes, it did.
I'm thinking that the drinks section of the Horde Cookbook would be a good start, but folks here must be vintners of some quality, at least a couple of us. And there's always hard ciders, and whatnot. I think we could publish the definitive drinks and cocktails manual for members of the Horde. Somebody call Bluebell and get her fired up. Lol.

"Recent satellite imagery suggests that the Department of War has conducted a covert dredging operation to open up a never-before-used shipping corridor through the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz.
The corridor in question is an approximately 1,600-foot-wide waterway with a natural depth of about 93 feet, meaning that only a small amount of dredging would have been necessary to make it safe for VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers)."

Looks like PM Carney won tonight’s three by elections. But things still get interesting. QC has an election on 5 October, and one fortnight later AB has the referendum for a referendum on independence.
PM Carney may well be facing down two separatist movements in his own country by 20 October. All the while his obsessive devotion lives in his head rent free, as well as Premier Ford’s head. And Wab’s. But he is in Europe, sucking up to the EU, and perhaps wanting to join the EU as he declares the relationship between the U.S. and Canada to be “over” because his programmers in the PRC say so, and because he considers the EU to be the paragon of civilization.

Hey Hordlings, greetings from Singapore, from your "Old Asia Hand" Publius Redux.
I read Robert's dissent in the Ballroom case. It may just be the stupidest thing from the Supreme Court not written by Kitenji Action Jackson I have ever read - and I am an admitted attorney with over 35 years experience in the law/Insurance and have read a LOT of S. Ct. decisions. The concept that someone simply not liking the aesthetics of an act by the Federal Government is enough to confer standing is, to quote a movie "stupid, stupid, stupid." I cannot believe he authored it. Simply ridiculous. The party with standing is Congress, it has not acted to stop the executive. And, if Congress wanted to, they could pass a law to demolish the new structure and put it back the way it was. Open and shut, no concrete harm, no standing decision is what was called for. Roberts is an *ss. Posted by: Publius Redux at September 01, 2026 03:52 AM (/aZwr) 403

Posted by: Publius Redux at September 01, 2026 03:54 AM (/aZwr) I am constantly amazed at the crap every generation comes up with to "prove" they are the smartest people who ever lived. It is very much like the old "Dark Ages" theory, that somehow people got stupider during the centuries following the collapse of the Roman Empire. And yet, somehow, we preserved millennia of written history, science, medical texts, and the Bible throughout that time, invented brilliant things like jurisprudence, the horse collar, fallow field rotation, medicinal herbaria, charitable housing and sustenance, and of course silly things like the scientific method, all while apparently in the "Dark Ages."

Posted by: Delurker Because then you'd have a bunch of bear carcasses you'd have to haul out of the pit? Much better to figure out how to get them to climb out on their own. Then you can shoot them. Posted by: FeatherBlade at August 31, 2026 07:34 PM (C0Nlv) 28

24 What kind of cat is with the Great Dane? Great coloring.
Posted by: JackStraw at August 31, 2026 07 I think that is a Savannah, but probably an SBT one. Bengals have rosettes, Savannahs have more solid spots. A Savannah should have the spots crossing over the back instead of the stripes, Savannahs should never have marbling, and this one is getting close to that, and the ears should be much larger and more triangular. But even an imperfect Savannah is a fun cat! And who amongst us doesn’t have a few flaws? Posted by: Piper at August 31, 2026 07:59 PM (ZdaMQ) 64

As soon as she has healed up, she will have to do some chemo, but it is mild and of short duration - basically killing off the stragglers. She will also get some drug therapy that says "Fuck you in particular" to that specific type of cancer. She's actually relieved because she was afraid she'd get crushing chemo and the oncologist stressed that she would not be given more than she could handle. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

The funny thing about MILO is that I never have had any interest in him, but he keeps getting throw at me. Breitbart made him their golden boy even though I found him utterly obnoxious and was happy to see him crash and burn.
I then stumbled on him through Catholic sites talking about his conversion and decision to abandon the gay lifestyle. Uh, sure, we'll see how this goes, but also: good for you, God bless, but I don't care. Latterly it was the weird CPAC blowup about Christian "influencers" doing drugs and banging each other with wild abandon. He drove part of it. Again, not my crowd, but okay. The part that got my interest was that at the same time he was exposing fake Christians, he was DESTROYING Owens, calling her stupid, ignorant, etc. but then he did a 180. That was the curious thing.

The idea is that they have sensors that can tell you not to bother. We don't have that level of tech, so we have to make a good faith try. Also: imagine the trope of Bones doing CPR and it never working.

That "nuclear Mars probe" is Space Reactor-1 Freedom, a test of nuclear-electric propulsion. It will use a constant thrust trajectory to Mars, and deploy the "Skyfall" payload, which is three helicopters to fly around and explore on Mars. Note this is low thrust, high specific impulse, not Epstein Drive-like high thrust. Unlike a typical transfer orbit and gravitational-only trajectories, ballistic you might call them, although that's generally not used, it uses a continuous little thrust the whole way.

For some numbers, SR-1's thrust will be just 3 to 4 oz. Yes, ounces of thrust. So, just a little extra non-gravitational acceleration. These low thrust trajectories are interesting. Basically, you do a long outward spiral. SR-1 will actually take a bit longer to get to Mars than usual, but with much less fuel mass than usual. That's what high specific impulse, but low thrust does for you. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 31, 2026 09:06 PM (w6EFb) 220

What is equally shocking, but not surprising: not a single member of the media mob has a rudimentary-enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error. To reiterate: under @POTUS, the United States delivers for America’s trusted partners. For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take any entry level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on Foreign Exchange for Dummies. Although I am not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan.

A huge chunk of glacier broke off a mountain and plummeted down. Don't hold me to it, but IIRC that chunk was about 2000' wide, and it fell on the order of 4000' down. There may have been some rock under it that gave way. The usual suspects are screaming globull warmmuning of course, but tectonic uplift likely had as much to do with it as melting.

I've said this on my blog and here before, but China missed the boat. The time to act against Taiwan was 2023, when the US was distracted and demoralized, and all our generals were sucking Beijing's dick. Milley would never attack his fwends.
The way to beat Taiwan is by making the US abandon it, because then the fifth columnists could make the case that life is better than death.

I was reading and listening some more about "climate change" over the late Pleistocene through the Younger Dryas and into our current Holocene. That puts all this climate change nonsense in perspective. What's happening now is nothing compared to what Erf can do and has done many times. The current glacial retreat got really started back in the early 1800s, coming off the advance due to the "Little Ice Age". We had the Maunder Minimum, and the glaciers advanced a little. That ended, and here we are. The current "warming" is just part of the oscillation well apparent over thousands of years.

Posted by: clarence at August 31, 2026 10:15 PM (vqfj6) Quick Hits![]() Eric DaughertySpeaking of stolen land, the Supreme Court has rebuked a lower court order to halt Trump's repair and remodeling of the East Wing of the White House. Specifically, they issued a stay, putting the lawless rogue lower court's injunction against Trump on hold. On April 17, 2026, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stayed the district court's injunction, effectively allowing construction to proceed, while it considered the government's appeal. On August 7,Essentially this is a full and final reversal -- by the time the full case is decided, the remodeling will be concluded, rendering this lawsuit moot. Two points: The Supreme Court ruled that the National Trust, which brought the suit, has no standing to sue at all, and Chief Justice Roberts, of course, sided with the liberals, because he is one. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed tells his audience to fake their enthusiasm for his stump lines -- he actually tells them to "go nuts" -- so that his Advertising Jihadis can use the crowd's reaction in its political ads to "push back on AIPAC." Mike Rogers makes the subtext into text in an anti-Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed ad: "ABDUL IS JUST WEIRD." Indeed. Speaking of radical Muslims who hate America: Tuq'r Qarlson has on a "Missouri farmer" -- who he refuses to tell his audience is a former Democrat lieutenant governor -- to trash Trump for allowing the importation of Argentinian beef. (Was this ever not allowed? They make a lot of it.) The Islam First agitator then explains who The Real Villain Here is: Can you guess?

All three covered VP Vance in Michigan. CBS actually brought up El-Sayed's comments about 9-11 and let him explain it away. The others didn't even mention it. Commie, terrorist supporting assholes.

From Trump Announces:
90 We should be building more refineries. That would help lower prices in the long term if we had more capacity and output. Posted by: SpeakingOf at August 31, 2026 05:23 PM (6ydKt) The Feds should buy the California refineries (at a more than fair price) that are being forced to close by socialist overregulation, then use Pre-emption to overrule the state and run the facilities profitably. They really do have a legitimate national security interest in fuel availability for all their military assets in the area, and in particular the supply for a hypothetical war with a country that rhymes with China.

I know it's unimaginably past the comprehension or ability of the GOP (usually) to actually make a point/educate/change the landscape in their statements or ads, but how about explaining that gas prices were even worse under the Dems for no good reason. And explain the reasons. Then explain current all-time maximum domestic production, and that current prices are temporary and will resume their downward trend once a vile nutso generational foreign adversary is defeated.
Of course that last part would be beyond the understanding of almost all voters including robot GOP types, as well as most of the commentariat, but include it just for fun. Posted by: rhomboid at August 31, 2026 06:30 PM (U/Byj) 71

------ I worry about our society and the addiction to the dopamine hits from our phones. I've started paying attention to social gatherings I've recently attended. 6 of us gather to have a meal and watch the horse races from the comfort of an air-conditioned restaurant, and at any given time 2-4 of the people there are scrolling their phones. A work team meeting with a *legitimate* big hitter from our industry, and at any given time 6-8 of the 12 people in the room are scrolling their phones. There's "Next Generation" episode where Ryker gets introduced to a tech-game while on leave and brings it back to the ship...where it spreads like wildfire and soon the entire crew is addicted to the game and only the game and no longer maintaining the Enterprise or the mission.

The clown trans with pink hair: who is on her necklace? That's all I want to know. I can tell he made his trashy earrings. Did not listen.
The chick wailing about being alone almost made me laugh because she's so pathetic. Not in how she wants to be for pity clicks. Pathetic in weeping online because she's lonely. Waaa! She walks the Pacific Hwy alone & is going to Swizerland alone. Alone time. I figure when she is around others it is I,I,I blah, boring. Shut up. Do you expect a prince in Swizerland to pop out and marry you? She never mentions a job, just snotting into her dinner, which I've also never done. I've never been lonely or bored in my entire life, being a feral farm girl who liked parties. While I didn't date much in college I had a posse of mostly male friends I hung out with at concerts or parties or bonfires, camping, hiking, skiing. She also goes in & out of a lisp like a Gilmore girl. Maybe stop looking at your phone and read a book. The second chick who wrecked her car, nearly filming her death...what did she say at the beginning? She needs to be locked up. I missed her point and thought the yellow thing on the rear view mirror was a weird airbag at first. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 31, 2026 06:35 PM (hzuYO) 88

...allowing the importation of Argentinian beef...
This is retarded on so many levels. Its a 90 day pause on the tariffs on imported ground beef. 90 days—which is 2-3 years less time than it takes for a calf to be ready for market. Ranchers are greedily exploiting the current high price of beef by culling young heifers now — their future herds. Herds are at a 1960s low. its ground beef not steaks, not regular cuts of meat. its the cuttings and trimmings to make hamburger. Also no mention that the Trump administration is working to break up the slaughter house cartels that have been screwing ranchers for decades. I hate these lying grifters. Sowing hate and distrust through lies stacked upon lies. Posted by: Community Notes at August 31, 2026 06:37 PM (+4Cf6) 91
Re: ballroom
I can’t think of a times when there has been universal well earned hatred toward the president, senate, congress, SCOTUS, republicans and Democrats. Every layer of governance has failed us. Means next president has the full green light to tear everything the fuck down and do whatever they want to alter Trump's monstrosity since no one will have the standing to stop them. What is the point of the Supreme Court at this juncture in history? They act like a Republican super legislature, with special handouts for their favorite president. To know something is illegal, shrug and say “no one has standing” is a joke. start by tearing down SCOTUS and let the justiced work out of construction trailers for 10 years. Strip them of their right to pick and choose cases. If we can’t pack the court, humiliate them into submission because they are an equal branch, not a super legislature. There is literally no decision that they won't roll over on. They've lost any claim of legitimacy. This is why elections matter. And none of this both sides shit. EVERY. SINGLE. STATEMENT.

The Feds should buy the California refineries (at a more than fair price) that are being forced to close by socialist overregulation, then use Pre-emption to overrule the state and run the facilities profitably. They really do have a legitimate national security interest in fuel availability for all their military assets in the area, and in particular the supply for a hypothetical war with a country that rhymes with China.
Posted by: SciVo --- Yes. And, The Fed will eventually take over greater parts of the West Coast. It will segregate all Federal properties from the indigenous peoples and their rules. Military presence will increase to insure safety and security of fed properties, which will increase by community petition and acquisition for more bases and import infrastructure. Parks and joined communities will be safe for tourists and communities within the new federal jurisdiction.

The urban atomization is interesting to me. I notice it more than others because I only ever lived in a big city for six years, but I commuted into one from an early age.
When I was young, I was never attracted to city life, but many of my friends moved to the city for one reason: the social life. School, work, blah blah, sure. But the main attraction was all the people to meet and and things to do, and the opportunity to build a new friend group outside of small town life. By the time I had to move down there, it was completely different than when I was in college or starting my career... very, very hard to meet people my own age. Wherever you go, it's just older people hanging out, going to bars, events, etc. The strange way our society has developed, you now have to go to small towns and rural areas if you want anything we used to recognize as a normal social life, and it's been a very rapid change.

Had discussions with two ranchers in the area. They run with my peeps. Using Hereford cows, 3 years works for a grass fed self-sustaining herd size.

I wonder if Roberts understands that in 3 years the SCOTUS will be irrelevant?
Either Vance wins, and so he'll have enough of a mandate to just ignore the courts. Or Harris wins and the Dems stack the Court. But there is no path to "and then America realizes the Supreme Court is the Best and Most Wise Institution in America." Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at August 31, 2026 06:46 PM (3cUTc) Roberts is the dumbest person on the Supreme Court. Ok, you want to make an empire out of the Court system for your own power. Yet every decision he makes is sure to bring his SC into disrepute by allowing every random judge to play to the press instead of him, I can't recall any decisions he has given a written opinion on to wow history, he votes left or right by flipping a coin along with his clique.

Ugh - from the Daily Mail:
A knife-wielding woman was shot and killed by police officers in New York City on Monday after she allegedly went on a stabbing spree in the heart of Times Square, killing one. The unidentified woman had stabbed a woman and a man just before 4.30pm at the intersection of West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan's busy downtown, sources told the New York Post. She then fled north toward the New York Police Department substation, where police confronted her. Video from the scene showed the woman pointing a large knife as NYPD officers surrounded her, while frightened tourists screamed and swarmed the area. When the suspect - dressed in a pink T-shirt, jeans, and a cross-body bag - then charged at cops, several officers drew their guns and shot the woman multiple times, causing her to fall to the ground. The women and her two victims were then rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where the suspect and one of her victims, a female tourist, were pronounced dead, according to AMNY.

Other than the Sally/Anne Test, I find that those who have not had proper social development show evidence lacking ToM, one course grain "test" is to see if the subject ever asks any questions or just asserts knowledge all the time. One of the more peculiar examples is when a Mill potential home buyer brings along a posse to evaluate homes during Open House.

Posted by: Tom Servo at August 31, 2026 07:02 PM (edUvp) I think there is a number of things to sieve out the ancient writings. Learning writing involved much deeper education than average, and was such an investment in time that higher outcome was required to justify it Copying was time and labor intensive, and books needed to have value to have that effort put into them Maintaining libraries of books was time and labor intensive, as was translating into modern tongues, printing them is time and cost expensive, and then they had to get some currency by being taught widely.

Posted by: toby928(c) at August 31, 2026 11:23 PM (4NO2D) Trump Announces Truly Huge Deal to... Take Over 65 Billion Barrels' Worth of Venezuela's Oil Reserves?!Why would they do this? Because successive socialist governments have, get this, run the oil industry into the ground. They did not do basic maintenance and never bothered to upgrade and modernize their infrastructure. They have billions of barrels of oil they never invested any money in so the oil remains underground. The socialists, if you can believe this, simply extracted oil (and embezzled the money) while doing nothing to safeguard the future health of the industry. So Venezuela needs outside help to do the most basic things. Let's elect socialists in America to work the same Economic Miracles! I don't know if I like this. Venezuela has a nasty habit of repudiating past agreements and "nationalizing" -- stealing -- foreign investments in their oil industry. But, who knows, if there's a Trumpian president, maybe they'll remember what happened to Maduro before nationalizing the newest capital improvements.The US has struck a deal with Venezuela to control more than 65 billion barrels of its proven oil reserves, Donald Trump said. The US president wrote that the agreement would more than double American oil reserves and "substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans". In a late-night address on Saturday, Venezuela's interim President Delcy Rodríguez hailed the deal as one that would help her nation's economic revival.The media's stories all push the same attack line: The oil will not be extracted for years so Trump is a Big Orange Liar when he says that the deal will lower gas prices. Try Googling it. Every single media story claims Trump is a liar about this reducing gas prices and he's doomed, doomed in the midterms. They've managed 100% narrative coordination. Putin is envious.

I don't know if I like this. Venezuela has a nasty habit of repudiating past agreements and "nationalizing" -- stealing -- foreign investments in their oil industry.
__________________________ Well, less than a year ago they did sign an energy and security deal with Russia (under Maduro). That seems to have been negated. Venezuela certainly has the crude, but they don't have the ability to refine. They were circumventing economic sanctions by sending to Iran for refining (who would push it back to Cuba and over to China). Each of these countries was ignoring economic sanctions, and this was the vehicle. Now, the US is in negotiations with Canada who uses Crude as a negotiation point. Well, that leverage just took a nose dive with the Venezuelan agreement. Since January (Maduro's exit) the US has be averaging 500,000 barrels of Venezuelan crude to be refined at Gulf state refineries. By, comparison Canada provides 4 Million barrels to the US daily for refining. So, we covered 1/8th of that amount without an agreement in place with Venezuela...and now it will speed up. Wouldn't want to be Canadian right now. They are royally and truly screwed. Posted by: Orson at August 31, 2026 05:08 PM (dIske) 31

Although the plaintiffs argued that the lack of consultation for foreign projects increased extinction rates, the Court found their alleged injuries too speculative and not sufficiently distinct from those of the general public.

Venezuela can only refine about 300-400,000 barrels per day, on good days, so much of the refining capacity for their oil has traditionally been the US anyway. In recent years both China and India have built refineries that can handle heavy, sour Venezuelan oil, so this may well be as much a way to control oil flow to those countries as anything else.

"Based on tanker-tracking data from Bloomberg and reports on discounts applied to Venezuelan crude, the estimated value of U.S.-controlled oil exports has increased from $600 million in January (about 380,000 barrels per day) to about $3.7 billion in April alone (about 1.1 million barrels per day). The largest recipients of Venezuelan oil since January 3 have been the United States (43 percent), India (26 percent), and Spain (8 percent)."

A company called Radiant has shipped their prototype 1MW helium-cooled, TRISO-fueled micro reactor from California to INL/Battelle (on a semi!) as a PoC... its review process at INL has been fast-tracked and is expected to be approved with 8-10mos. They have selected the old K-25 site in Oak Ridge as the production facility, due to its proximity to X-Energy's TRISO-X fuel production plant, and plan to build one reactor per week there, once they have commercial approval. The first 15 have been pre-ordered by the Army for Ft. Benning. Alongside the salt-cooled modular reactors being developed there by Kairos and others, the face of energy is about to change.

They've managed 100% narrative coordination. Putin is envious. --------------- Who needs enemies when the media will do the enemies' job? What's even funnier, they insist that Trump is a tyrant. If he were a tyrant they would be singing his praises. Just look over at North Korea, China, Russia, Iran. Posted by: Decaf at August 31, 2026 05:21 PM (ZNpJk) 82
We can't refine much more than that. It ink we only have a couple of refineries in Texas that can handle that heavy oil.
Posted by: polynikes ======== That appears to be a canard nowadays. Part of the increased flexibility in more US refineries comes from the import of even heavier tar sands petroleum from Canada. Should help with diesel prices, asphalt, and tar as well. Second, Venezuela does produce light crude as well from different fields that can be mixed onsite to fit what refineries can handle.

Not that democrats and turncoat republicans care what the founding fathers wanted... but the founders were split on how grand DC and the White House should be. Washington wanted it all huge and grand. Big bold layout, a fancy White House. Washington and Trump were on the same page. Jefferson wanted DC as small and as ungrand as possible, as a sign the people ruled and DC didn't turn into an empirical city. I believe he slept in like one tiny room or wing of the WH as president and did everything possible to keep it unfancy. Which vision should we have, libs? You hate both men, whose vision prevails?

>>Let's be honest and say Trump deeply cares about the short term price movement of oil on his watch probably more than any long lasting "deal" this forges.
It's not just about the price of oil today or next year, it's about national security as well. For all intents, the US is now the big dog in the oil world. OPEC is breaking down. The UAE has already left and Venezuela is on the way out. China and Russia were all over Venezuela, China was Venezuela's biggest customer. They also controlled the Panama Canal. If you step back and look at what Trump is doing with Venezuela and Iran he is moving the the US into the leadership role of the world's energy.

It was faster for me to copy and paste why Montana and Midwest refineries aren't getting Venezuelan oil. Incompatible Chemistry: Refineries in Montana (such as the refinery near Billings) are built to process light-to-heavy crude oil coming overland from western Canada.Logistical Focus: Venezuelan crude is a heavy, sour blend. It goes to specialized refineries located on the U.S. Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana, which were specifically designed for that type of dense, sulfur-rich oil.

Also create a "rally round the flag" movement in Alberta. I don't think that's going to work. Trump is playing coy at the moment, but at some point he's going to release the draft agreement.

118 107 88 Diesel is over taxed. It's cheaper to produce than gasoline and has more btu's.
Posted by: Braenyard Big trucks do a lot more damage to roads than cars. Mass times velocity does a number on interstates, bridges, and highways. Reason that they should never be on regular streets not designed for heavy trucks either when they use those streets for a shortcut. So either tax diesel appropriately which catches most of the heavy truck damage or apply mileage taxes to them. Or you raise car fuel taxes and/or mileage taxes. Your choice. FWIW, a lot of that traffic used to be on railroads where the RR bear all the costs of maintenance and pay for diesel as well.

129 Big trucks pay for the highways that Eisenhower intended for them. The intent of the Interstate Highway System was not for our easy commute to work or a long trip vacation. It was built for big military trucks to move materiel across country.
Big trucks pay the lions share of road taxes. Posted by: Braenyard Eisenhower intended both. And exactly how to allocate road taxes is a political question that each state has to answer. A few states like Arkansas designed their highways way back when 73k was the maximum weight limit. They were forced to go to 80k along with some other states and the road bed simply could not take it. And fwiw, when trucks speed, it increase the damage because of physics. So another way is to reduce truck speed to 55-60 mph maximum to limit damage. And Eisenhower never intended for trucks to replace heavy rail either. It was more both than either or.

It is the most basic, obvious advice, the lowest of hanging fruit that will not fix the overall, complex problems at hand. Posted by: Lizzy at August 31, 2026 05:42 PM (X8xt3) Is this about the price of burritos? Posted by: Kindltot at August 31, 2026 06:01 PM (rbvCR) 219

Posted by: Smell the Glove at August 31, 2026 05:02 PM (j/Ml9) We need to replenish our reserves squandered by Biden. Deals like this give it to us cheaper, in exchange for our operating and repairing their fields and equipment. I'd guess they were operating at a loss for a while before Maduro was grabbed.

Eisenhower wanted an American Autobahn. Think AFV carriers and towed 240mm howitzers.
Posted by: mrp ====== The original principle was for defense, but everyone wanted a piece of the new interstate system because it allied construction, developers, state governments that would administer them, industry, tourists, etc. But to address your point Braenyard, trucks do pay more but the question is whether they pay enough or not. This is Brave AI's take "Heavy trucks cause significantly more damage to interstate roadways than passenger cars, with estimates ranging from 300 to 10,000 times more damage per pass, depending on the pavement type and calculation method. This disparity exists because pavement damage is proportional to the fourth power of the axle load." You can dig up highways studies that add support to this. Even the Amer Trucking Institute admits the ratio is They cite studies suggesting the actual damage ratio is 300:1 or so. Posted by: whig at August 31, 2026 06:04 PM (E4rtv) 225

I have come to believe that most analysts on TV are simply bullshit actors there to say what market players want them to say. Same group of assholes during the Iraq crisis argued it would take years to fix Kuwaiti oil wells and infrastructure from the fires and other damage. Along with the dumbass "military analysts" who confidently promised that we would lose 10s of thousands of troops in the Gulf War when US units would charge the Iraqi trenches and be cut down like Limeys at the Battle of the Somme. In fact, we lost less than 150 in combat deaths, about the same number in non-combat accidents. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at August 31, 2026 06:14 PM (y9nCu) 228
FWIW, a lot of that traffic used to be on railroads where the RR bear all the costs of maintenance and pay for diesel as well.
Its even worse than that. RRs pay property taxes on their rail roads. I'm sort of curious if RRs will start to reclaim the railbanking they have done over the years. Could you imagine if these massive retailers dropped Lights Out distribution centers on Rails-to-Trails and the RRs reverted those trails back to spurs to feed the distribution centers. With AI inventorying, Lights Out warehouse operations and with CP and KCS merging into CPKC making a continuous Mexico to Canada routes and Union Pacific impending merger with Norfolk Southern, making a contiguous east-west route, rail operations should become even more efficient than they are now. With DOT crushing the illegal alien and fake trucking training centers, the move to rail may just increase. Posted by: Community Notes at August 31, 2026 06:22 PM (a3CJ+) 229
The funny thing about this oil deal is that it’s a direct flick in the dick to the Chinese. Remember, it was their diplomats nearly caught in the middle of the Maduro raid, no doubt trying to squeeze the country for some sweet crude and get a foothold in America’s backyard.

Posted by: shaved beaver at September 01, 2026 12:58 AM (BnsxR) Muslim Brotherhood Spawn Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Begins Deleting Old Tweets Making Light of 9/11, Claims That Anyone Who Wants to Judge a Senatorial Candidate Based on His Statements and Sympathies Is Engaging in "Cancel Culture"Some people deleted some tweets about some people doing some things. Michigan Senate hopeful Dr. Abdul El-Sayed scrubbed an old tweet trashing America on the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, as he faces mounting pressure from Democrats to disavow far-left streamer Hasan Piker. In the now-deleted tweet, El-Sayed mourned the terrorist attack that killed nearly 3,000 and then noted that he planned to grieve the deaths he blamed on America over the wars that followed. "Today, I mourn the 3K lives, 6K injuries, & infrastructural devastation in NYC, perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my faith," El-Sayed wrote on Twitter, as it was then called. "Tomorrow, I'll mourn ~1M lives, millions of injuries, & infrastructural devastation in 3 countries, perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my country."Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed must know he's in trouble because he's apologizing to, get this, Jews, over his justification/minimization of a fellow Muslim's murder of Jewish children at a synagogue by saying "Hurt people hurt people." In other words: Muslim get mad, Muslim kill Jews. Deal with it, and stop making Muslims mad. By the way: Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's white female liberal communications director hates, get this, white women. No, she's not a self-hating white woman. Because her ideological religion makes her among The Elect and above the contempt that normal (spit) white women deserve. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is a gleeful leftwing cancel culture asshole, but he says that, if you ask him about his prior statements or associations in judging his fitness to be one of only two federal senators from Michigan, You're doing cancel culture, you Soyboy Beta Cuck. And he still refuses to say a single cross word about the man he has repeatedly invited to campaign with him.

Ads on Detroit tv have already shown up showing other Dem candidates and linking them to El-Sayed and the crazier parts of the DSA Dems. There's one ad like that showing up for Jocelyn Benson running for Governor.
I have to imagine their are ads like that in other battleground states linking any Dem running with the asylum people. Considering how easy it is to simply create a few web pages and fund a few ads, I'm actually kind of surprised we haven't seen 'natural outpouring of support' with fake, made-up groups like "Michigan Jews for El-Sayed" or "Michigan Gays for El-Sayed" They do it with other issues.

Posted by: Archimedes at August 31, 2026 03:51 PM (Riz8t) Southeast Asis into Tibet and Nepal have had a really wet summer and several typhoons come ashore because of the El Nino affect this year. The North Atlantic usually gets less storms and hurricanes because of increased wind shear while (which is proving true - we’re only on storm F which just formed today) the North Pacific gets the opposite less shear, warmer water and lots more storms. China has been getting hammered with flood after flood all summer. I think that was the cause, a lot if upstream rainfall, but the media will call it climate change and everybody will nod and go on with their day.

At a glance idk if I disagree with him. Saying during COVID that there should be a commensurate response to COVID compared to 9/11?

Probably a good idea to completely disavow the “America deserved 9/11” terrorist supporter guy His comments aren't crazy, some are incredibly based.

so maybe the family did have the measles - with all the vaccinations being pushed they will go through a period of more illness. MMR includes live measles virus Posted by: Black Orchid (j+aD2) at August 31, 2026 04:31 PM (j+aD2) Posted by: "Mrs." Obama at August 31, 2026 04:31 PM (anL5R) 167

We're not nearly as balkanized as they would have us believe.
The media and internet are not real life. But I suspect the balkanization is at least in part real. We increasingly lack a common culture. Teaching of civics is largely dead. Immigrants have not been expected to assimilate for a long while. We've drank pretty deeply from the "diversity is our strength" bowl when the opposite is true (homogeneity is our strength, so strong all sorts of weirdos and outsiders can harmlessly orbit around the core of normalcy that homogeneity provides). This kind of thing yields results. Not good ones. But results nonetheless. Posted by: it puts the lotion in the basket at August 31, 2026 04:37 PM (wAvmd) 189

Posted by: Smell the Glove _________________ It was an inconsequential ruling for a number of reasons. First, Trump ignored the case and the ballroom is 65% done, and they didn't stop building waiting for the decision. They are knocking it out with a 24 hour schedule...which means by the time they get another lawsuit rolling it will be completed. The second reason the ruling is inconsequential is because it only found the suing party didn't have standing (some historical society or some entity of the like). Thirdly, the lower courts said the WH required congress to rule on funding to build it. Only, Honey Badger don't care. He's just building it anyway. Make them knock it down when it's done.

"If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone is going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews," Piker said earlier this month.

Posted by: Ted Torgerson at August 31, 2026 05:57 PM (wGerL) Released Emails Show Anthony Fauci Routinely Told "Scientists" To Delete His Emails (So That Congress and Other Investigators Couldn't See Them)No one is above the law, especially not a three-foot-seven malignant dwarf Bond villain. I did a quick search, and it appears that the statute of limitations for illegally deleting official federal records is just five years. So, no, not based on that email. Despite the Biden pardon, states like Florida -- through the work of Attorney General James Uthmeier -- have subpoenaed Fauci over his diary entries released by Paul. "Government officials have a certain level of immunity in their official capacities, but if Fauci personally profited off of the 'guidance' he issued, that very well could have broken Florida law," Uthmeier said.

My guess is IC is desperate not to have Fauci on trial because of all the unpleasant facts he can drop about gain of function and the intel community paying for that in foreign labs. That is why he got protected. And there is a nonzero possibility that the virus might have purposefully been dumped onto the world by Chicoms in conjunction with some in our IC that wanted Trump gone by any means, even killing millions world wide.

The overriding problem we have is that we have an "elite" class that is made up of nepos and con artists and those who really belong in fulltime psychiatric care instead of actual achievers and leaders. They are also fully aware of that, just like Hollywood actors who know there are 100s of people who could replace them at any moment. They DO NOT want to give up their incredible perks and lifestyle. So every moment and idea of this crew is to defend and guard against outsiders taking them away. They would gladly sacrifice anyone who isn't them to do that. So the behavior of Fauci, WEC types, or the vast majority of pols and corporate execs doesn't surprise me one bit.

Can’t have Trump coming in and Rand Paul making Fauci his mission with a FBI & DOJ that isn’t corrupted by Dem operatives. The truth would’ve come out in open court, if Fauci didn’t take a plea deal to avoid that, and the media would not be able to deny the evidence we are seeing now. Instead they just go along, pretending nothing is happening, because the Bureaucrats, Dems, and the Media all got together in 2020 and made it happen and then made it worse. The hubris of the international left in the name of “The Science” killed millions of people and they covered it all up so they won’t get the blame due them for their arrogance, partisanship, incompetence and indifference while wearing a Science skinsuit..

74 The overriding problem we have is that we have an "elite" class that is made up of nepos and con artists and those who really belong in fulltime psychiatric care instead of actual achievers and leaders. They are also fully aware of that, just like Hollywood actors who know there are 100s of people who could replace them at any moment. They DO NOT want to give up their incredible perks and lifestyle. So every moment and idea of this crew is to defend and guard against outsiders taking them away. They would gladly sacrifice anyone who isn't them to do that. So the behavior of Fauci, WEC types, or the vast majority of pols and corporate execs doesn't surprise me one bit.

Speaking of ponies that shit gold, I've been hearing about container-portable micro reactors since I was a kid. We're almost there.
A company called Radiant has shipped their prototype 1MW helium-cooled, TRISO-fueled micro reactor from California to INL/Battelle (on a semi!) as a PoC... its review process at INL has been fast-tracked and is expected to be approved with 8-10mos. They have selected the old K-25 site in Oak Ridge as the production facility, due to its proximity to X-Energy's TRISO-X fuel production plant, and plan to build one reactor per week there, once they have commercial approval. The first 15 have been pre-ordered by the Army for Ft. Benning. Alongside the salt-cooled modular reactors being developed there by Kairos, the face of energy is about to change. It really is just over the horizon, now. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at August 31, 2026 03:41 PM (BI5O2) Posted by: A Blind Horse at August 31, 2026 03:41 PM (XeU6L) 139

Good. Not only is he a self-promoting grifter who tried to set Trump up by inviting the Nazi Nick Fuentes to a dinner with Trump, he's also a loud and proud degenerate. And frankly, this is good counterpoint for when the left claims Trump is only deporting Black and Brown Folx.Yiannopolis is a loud, fake grifter advocate of deporting illegals. He champions whatever people will pay him money to champion. Currently he's working to advance the "political" interests of mentally-ill moron Kanye West. Good riddance. International Airport in Louisiana and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "DHS reversed the horrendous Biden-era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country. Under President Trump, DHS will no longer tolerate this," the DHS spokesperson said in a statement. "This administration is working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport." Reports indicated that Yiannopoulos was in New Orleans ahead of a concert by the formerly known as Kanye West. Yiannopoulos has done work for the political and corporate ambitions of West, who's now known as Ye. ... He has also been a supporter of ICE's immigration enforcement efforts in the past. "California needs ICE checkpoints at supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersections and government buildings, with on the spot deportation for anyone who can't prove they are in the US legally," he posted on social media in June 2025.He has now been deported back to the UK. British right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the United States after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Yiannopoulos, 41, a former editor of Breitbart News and one time political aide to rapper Kanye West, was deported on Friday, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Yiannopoulos, "an illegal alien from the United Kingdom" had been sent "back to his home country", a DHS spokesperson said in a statement given to the BBC.A Biden judge just ruled that the US cannot deport foreigners who advocate for Islamism. Which in turn justifies terrorism and murder against Americans. @EricLDaugh 🚨 UPDATE: ONE BIDEN JUDGE just stepped in and ruled AGAINST Sec. Marco Rubio having noncitizen students deported if they advocate for Islamism and other anti-American ideology Judge Noël Wise just said those students have to stay here under the 1st Amendment.

Milo used to have clever and useful things to say but that's been years now and over time he's gotten increasingly bizarre and irrational. I don't know if its the AZT or recreational drugs or he's always been crazy but he's broken.
And I never have ever liked a super flamboyant homosexual being the voice of conservatism even when he did it well. Part of conservatism is SOCIAL and without that part, the other always inevitably corrupts and fails. For a while at least he claimed he was no longer a homo, now I have no idea what he is saying. All I know is that his Visa expired and he has to go. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 31, 2026 01:26 PM (K32Fz) 10

I've got a bad rotator cuff strain from sleeping wrong a week ago. Every night I flap my arms around like Steven Seagal running and re-aggravate the injury. And I wind up getting little sleep because I keep waking up.

This bears repeating. Homosexuals REALLY like young boys, they like to use terms like "twink" and "femboi" but what they mean is "barely through puberty if that." Its not universal but its extremely common. Lesbians less so from what I have seen, but still a real thing.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 31, 2026 01:37 PM (K32Fz) And this is precisely why I am vehemently opposed to homosexuals adopting kids. Especially male homosexuals. The lesbians probably don't do the sexual abuse but they will still fuck the kid up mentally. In my not so humble opinion.

He overstayed. Deport him.

The problem is that too many congressmen are lawyers who never want to upset a judge, and lazy fools who rely on judges to implement what they are afraid and too worthless to pass into law. So they don't want to do any impeachment on judges unless really forced to. And my quick look at what federal judges have actually been impeached all seem to be money-related crimes, like the only thing a judge can do wrong is take a bribe.

To be honest, sadly...the law states that Non-citizens to the US enjoy the same protections under the Bill of Rights that Citizens receive. AND, as a proponent of absolute free speech (Movie theater "fire" shout excluded), I believe non-citizens have every right to profess who they like or hate with impunity. I agree with the judge.
I DON'T AGREE, with the immigration laws that make it so difficult to remove a non-citizen from the US. However, someone here legally with a VISA (which is, in effect, a contractual agreement) has every right to say whatever the hell they want to. I'd suggest an adendum to all VISA's that allow for removal in providing support (moral, financial and otherwise) to America's enemies, however.

He was canceled left and right and driven out of public life. He spiraled and seemingly has never recovered. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at August 31, 2026 01:59 PM (mmrXZ) 194

One of the amusing things of our era is that Trump is the anti-Obama and here I am referring to how Obama would say reasonable sounding things and then do something absurd. Trump says silly things but his actions are fundamentally reasonable. You'd think that would be enough for the anti-MAGA "right" just pick apart what Trump says but that doesn't work for them...they need to claim he's a Jewish NAZI, or he is going to make everyone drink bleach or whatever stupidity they are claiming now...

One of the amusing things of our era is that Trump is the anti-Obama and here I am referring to how Obama would say reasonable sounding things and then do something absurd. Trump says silly things but his actions are fundamentally reasonable.

Presser this morning to announce crackdown on CDLs, trucking schools, etc - via Julie Kelly:
“The initiative focuses on CDL fraud, unauthorized employment, identity-document fraud, financial crime, money laundering, labor exploitation, and potential links to human smuggling, drug trafficking, and cartel activity,” Duffy said. The press conference coincided with a “synchronized surge” at more than 200 driving schools across 23 states to ensure the schools were following federal law; the DOT has already shut down hundreds of CDL schools for issuing permits drivers who did not meet English proficiency standards or employing unqualified instructors. https://tinyurl.com/2unx3rvn Posted by: beckster at August 31, 2026 02:21 PM (kX27y) 279

As I said, haven't heard a word from her even though we are surrounded by bullshit for probably 5 years now. That says something.
I used to put her in the "says stupid stuff but good stuff too" category like Ben Shaprio but when she went from "Donald Trump is a bloated stupid clown we should all hate" to "Donald Trump is our messiah everyone must vote for or be evil" the night he locked the nomination and then went back to "Donald Trump has utterly failed us all because he didn't personally build the wall completely in a week" soon after.... yeah that was enough.

Everybody’s voice sounds different to themselves.
This is why singers will be wearing headphones in studio so they can hear how they actually sound. It’s because our ears are so close to our mouths that the sound waves don’t have to travel far. A quick way to hear how your voice sounds to other people is to straighten your palms out flat and then hold your hands in front if your ears (not covering them). This makes the sound waves of your voice travel around your hands & ears into the ear canal. You’ll have a better idea of what other people hear at that point but it’s not 100% representative because you’ll still pick up some of your voice through your jaw and facial bones to the inner ear.

Posted by: cmeat at September 01, 2026 01:20 PM (Bep7s) Whistleblower: NY AG and Gigantic Hag "Tish" James Commanded Her Underlings to Find (or Contrive) Criminal Charges Against Trump -- and His Friends and AlliesThis is abuse of office. A prosecutor is supposed to investigate a crime and find the guilty party, not investigate a person to discover crimes (or, in this case, "crimes"). Before anyone can say it: Nothing will happen, of course.Prosecutor in NY AG Letitia James' office says he was ordered to dig up dirt on Trump allies: report A veteran prosecutor in state Attorney General Letitia James' office claims he was ordered to dig up dirt on people and groups "affiliated with Donald Trump," according to a bombshell report. Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor who now works in James' Investor Protection Bureau, said his boss instructed him "to find and pursue crimes" committed by Trump allies, according to a since-deleted email obtained by the Times-Union. Wiesenfeld alleged in his email on Friday that Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe specifically directed him to target "Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger)... without having a credible reason for targeting the organizations and individuals," the outlet reported. ... "If you believe Trump is using the [Department of Justice] attorneys to prosecute his enemies and further his political interests, you should find it equally troubling that Tish [James] is doing exactly the same thing," Wiesenfeld allegedly wrote in the message, which went to some 2,000 staffers before being yanked.I don't think Trump is doing this at all. He's prosecuting the people who wrongfully prosecuted him -- and if, as they say, "no one is above the law," then they have endorsed their own prosecutions. Remember, Trump talked about throwing Hillary in jail but as soon as he was elected he ditched that entirely, implicitly conceding it was just campaign fodder. More: His first-hand knowledge doesn't directly implicate James: He alleges only that his direct superior, Investor Protection Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe, told him to target "Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger)" without bothering to first find "a credible reason for targeting the organizations and individuals."Is the bad ad gone? I only noticed it a couple of weeks ago and wrongly assumed that whatever company was paying for the ad would just stop paying for it and it would go away. I didn't expect them to camp on the site forever. I think it's gone now. I hope. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Of all the jaw-dropping Third World or Soviet bloc depredations inflicted on the country (which are only possible in a country with a civic culture and populace degraded nearly beyond recognition), the absurd and outrageous Vyshinsky-style prosecutions of Trump (both state and federal) do stand out.
I'd include the holocaust of collateral actions, like state legislatures crafting "laws" to allow this persecution, and especially the (ongoing) mau-mau'ing and actual attempted destruction of lawyers working to defend Trump. There are baby steps being taken (removing ABA as certifying authority for law schools), but in context they are baby steps. The Legal Cult of course can't imagine contemplating that their entire worship-object (the system) is irredeemably rotten due to the degraded people in it (hey, smart guy! went to my law school!). But it's all a symptom of general decline, not usually the driver. Posted by: rhomboid at August 31, 2026 12:21 PM (U/Byj) 51

Think Matt Braynard found 15K illegitimate votes counted in NV in 2020 within a few days of the "election". Sitting at his desk using public records. Deceased, under-age, or out of state (there's actually a federal database for that, set up in the 90s, when there was a trace of the civic culture left in the "elites").
He then found that number and more (above the official "margin", I believe) in GA. This was a guy in his underwear, with a laptop. It's entirely apart from the hilariously identical xeroxed ballots from one GA county, or the statistically improbably vote shares in late drops in GA and MI, or of course the comical lack of integrity in Wayne County MI basic election checks, or the historically unique and wild vote pattern across the state of WI.

Posted by: ace at August 31, 2026 12:14 PM (1wjle) Doves and pigeons don't mob other birds, there is a PNW Indian story about how the dove is the Turkey Buzzard's best friend for that reason. Crows tend to stick to a schedule, but they are also are opportunists. A friend of mine says the crows go hang out after lunch at the school because there is tossed food there, and the weekends and during fairs they are completely missing because they hang out at the fairgrounds and the open markets for tossed and dropped food. Put out walnuts and peanuts and they will come back, and that is stuff the pigeons can't eat. You might get squirrels, though. Posted by: Kindltot at August 31, 2026 12:37 PM (rbvCR) 127

"Trump talked about throwing Hillary in jail but as soon as he was elected he ditched that entirely, implicitly conceding it was just campaign fodder."
That was Trump 1.0. T1 didn't fully understand what time it was. T1 thought that he won the election and would be given the same discretion to govern that every other president was given. He didn't realize how feral the government really was and how deep the rot went. But Trump 2.0 knows. If T1 knew what T2 knows, then I think he wouldn't have let Hillary slide.

Some research indicates hummingbirds hitch a ride on other, larger migratory birds.
They sure look rode hard and put away wet when they arrive north in the Spring. What's cool, if you put feeders out every year, they remember your house. They will let you know they have arrived by hovering in front of every window to herald their arrival. "Why isn't the feeder out yet!" in bird speak.

We've got two varieties of hummingbirds here that are native and don't "winter" somewhere else. One feeder out back, interesting to see the pattern of "demand" for the free food. Varies quite a bit with the seasons. Amazing to me they can find enough to eat in this ecosystem, but there it is. They're vicious, but birds generally are very nasty critters - to each other.
The old hummingbird exhibit at the SD Zoo was great. Small, kinda cramped. Cool. A million varieties of birds, all close by, easily viewed. The new, fancy-with-the-donor-names-on-the-side exhibit?

50 Of all the jaw-dropping Third World or Soviet bloc depredations inflicted on the country (which are only possible in a country with a civic culture and populace degraded nearly beyond recognition), the absurd and outrageous Vyshinsky-style prosecutions of Trump (both state and federal) do stand out.
I'd include the holocaust of collateral actions, like state legislatures crafting "laws" to allow this persecution, and especially the (ongoing) mau-mau'ing and actual attempted destruction of lawyers working to defend Trump. There are baby steps being taken (removing ABA as certifying authority for law schools), but in context they are baby steps. The Legal Cult of course can't imagine contemplating that their entire worship-object (the system) is irredeemably rotten due to the degraded people in it (hey, smart guy! went to my law school!).

By the way I finally saw Naked Gun (2025) and its a lot funnier than people were saying. It goes too far a few times and sometimes gets really daffy but it was worth a lot of laughs to me.

Its not as gut-busting hilarious as the first one, but still, fun enough.

This is abuse of office. A prosecutor is supposed to investigate a crime and find the guilty party, not investigate a person to discover crimes (or, in this case, "crimes").
-------- Eh, it's pretty commonplace for prosecutors to look at a truly vile bastard who's evaded justice for years, someone like El Chapo or Chuck Lorre, and tell the cops "stick to this sonofabitch like glue, and tell me everything you find - there's a crime I can prosecute somewhere."

Crows all have a Joisey accent.

Birds in general are really hard to photograph for some reason. Hummingbirds more than usual because they're so freaking fast.

The only thing funnier than watching a gooney bird attempt to takeoff is watching one attempting to land.

Two crows walk into a bar. One chokes to death and dies because Ace gave it a stale bread crust.

The guy who did the Transformers voice, I feel no especial tragedy over his death. Yeah sad for his family and friends but I always though the Transformers were really goofy and stupid even when I was young. Maybe I was the wrong age group, I was in high school when they came out. He Man, same thing: meh. Dumb cartoon. But I have always hated stupid cartoons, even as a kid I though Flintstones and anything Hanna Barberra was idiotic. Scooby Do was insulting.

Now I feel bad. About a week ago, I was sick of red wine and out of bourbon so I was cranky and left a nasty message about the ads. I think I fractured my finger trying to find the goddamn x. I ranted and blustered and said I was outta here. Well, of course I couldn’t leave this den of fine minds, so I would only peruse the beginning and never click on continue reading or comments. Sorry.
