“Who, me? She said she was 16!”
Pete Rose returning to a MLB stadium turned into a shitshow. Good, fuck that guy. Rocco Baldelli is worked up. Watching the Astros is like riding a roller coaster this year. Somebody quit their job for reading a word out loud. (I assume it was the n-word. I also assume he was reading without really knowing what he was saying, since they were somebody else’s words.) Liverpool got off to an inauspicious start to the season, and I’m being generous. Man City were flying. And Man United looked like a bag of asses. And that’s pretty much it for sports.
They bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into. I say let em crash stay an extra ten days. With apologies to Jeff and David Zucker.
I like the cut of this guy’s jib. I especially like the reeeeeeeing it is causing for the so-called learned class.
I miss this simpler time.
They’re lining up the dominoes. Let’s see if they start falling. (fingers crossed)
You might want to lay low, Alec. There’s no need to fire off any more hot takes for a while.
Wait, it’s the other guy trying to overthrow what now? You do realize your job and oath is to carry out the duties of your job and prosecute people, don’t you?
Nobody cares.
Uh, it’s called “acting”. What an idiot. He doesn’t even realize where this would lead. No gays playing straights. No minorities playing anything but a minority. And no retards (like him) playing people of average intelligence. It’s astupid hill to die on. Oh, also James Franco’s father was a Spanish immigrant as was Castro’s. So he’s pretty well-cast.
Uh, who the hell cares? But yes, they were pretty obviously gay.
How can this possibly be a binding agreement? One party never agreed to the terms and they are a passive service that people have to seek out and voluntarily do business with. What’s next, will they claim every automaker has to pay them taxes on production and/or sales because people go to dealerships and buy them and then drive on public roads? Oh shit, strike that. I don’t want to give these greedy assholes any more bright ideas.
Going deep in the vault today. Bet none of you had heard that in a while. Hopefully you’ve heard this one more recently. If not, you’re welcome.
Now get out there and get the week off on the right foot, friends!
“They bought their ticket. They knew what they were doing. I say let em crash stay an extra ten days. With apologies to Jeff Zucker.”
This “crisis” was man made. The question is if it was accidentally released and then turned into a boon to the master class, or if it was all by design. Either way, it was an act of war..
They’re lining up the dominoes. Let’s see if they start falling. (fingers crossed) – oh come on not everything in Europe is about America
This is how you get some crazy German guy with a mustache telling people the rest of Europe needs to be pacified and cleansed….
And yes, I know he was Austrian, but he used Germany to do his dirty work.
To the victor go the spoils.
https://ibb.co/cQKgfbv
He did a lot of, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian, pacifying and cleansing …
But he did it, just like the marxist did, under the belief it was to make a better world….
Something, something about the most dangerous people being the fanatics with a “noble” cause….

Some of it is about punishing Europeans for being European.
Over at TOS, Welch has an article critical of Republicans and the right because Victor Orban compared Communists and Progressives.
Welch says this is beyond the pale. Progressives are in no way related to communists in today’s world, and claiming that communists are back and stronger than ever is a dangerous fascist lie.
It is pretty impressive..
Yeah, you can’t compare Communists and Progressives.
Progressives actually seem to be on track to destroy Western Civilization.
Coming from a guy who suggested it would be appropriate to mass-murder a group of conservative journalists at a cocktail party…
Uh… For real?
I can’t find it now, but he tweeted something along the lines of “Now would be a good time to invite every conservative journalist to a big cocktail party” with the hashtag “#RedWedding2”. The cringiest part was that it was like 5 years after that episode of Game of Thrones had aired. He and Gillespie are hep cats, doncha know.
That is jogging my noggin.
Being moronically reasonable isn’t going to save you Matt, you spineless gob of Jello you.
well we covered before that classical commies see progs as dangerous revisionists taking the focus from the materialist class war to race and such
Welch is a progressive, so he probably was personally offended by the remark.
Also I see the comments at that place are still of the highest quality…
Thanks for checking
They’re really after Orban lately. Probably because he refuses to go along with the EU/NATO stupidity on most issues.
I like the cut of this guy’s jib. I especially like the reeeeeeeing it is causing for the so-called learned class.
How long until we can get automatic security robots with machine guns in schools for safety?
Chopping Mall was a documentary.
We can have a program oversee them. Let’s call it Skynet!
How about some auto-cannons like in Altered Carbon?
I provide security for my home. Sometimes there may be children present. Where’s my AR-15?
The teachers would just prop those doors open, anyway, and the school administrators would disable the alarms because they get tired of hearing them. Yes, cops need to go to jail for Uvalde, but also administrators and at least one teacher.
It’s fascinating to watch how often bad ideas are a response to bad ideas. Having a cache of ARs wouldn’t have helped in Uvalde.
Remove the restrictions on concealed carry in schools and the vast majority of the problem goes away (or really, moves to another soft target).
Of course the best option is to remove your kids from government schools.
Of course that’s the best option. But it’s an unfortunately impractical option, even for many here. And until we defund the schools we’re still stuck paying for them, settlements for the negligence of government school employees, and the moral burden of supporting a failed system.
I’ll note here a few years back the shooting at an Amish (non govt) school not far from me.
It would be curious to see the relative rates though between private and government schools.
My understanding is that schools previously attended by the shooters are much more likely to be a target.
I guess what I’m saying is, if it saves just one life, we must shut down all government schools.
Yes, but the ratio is risk rate is slightly lower at private schools (although both are so low as to be a negligible difference).

“Wait, it’s the other guy trying to overthrow what now? You do realize your job and oath is to carry out the duties of your job and prosecute people, don’t you?”
Of course he knows what his job is. How would he not if he is there to do exactly the opposite of what he needs to be doing to bring th system down?
An ethical prosecutor, an oxymoron maybe, would resign if he felt bound by whatever this douchebag feels bound by to not uphold the law as written. If we are going to have state enabled enforcers of the law they’re obviously going to have to enforce some things they disagree with.
*South African accent*
“Diplomatic Immuni… eh, I mean, prosecutorial discretion!”
Excellent 80s reference, caffer.
It’s kaffer…
The Dutch don’t use the “c” that way…
I’m of two minds on this topic, tbh. Going too far the other direction gets you “just following orders” types of prosecutors who never face accountability, like the dimwitted cunt currently serving as our vice president. On the other hand, allowing rogue prosecutors to ignore any part of the law they feel like results in arbitrary and capricious law enforcement. 200 years ago when juries were still a meaningful check on prosecutorial misconduct it would have been less of a problem, but since we increasingly don’t do jury trials anymore, have outlawed jury nullification, and since it is very nearly impossible to be impaneled on a jury unless you’ve got 3 feet of the prosecutor’s cock up your ass, it’s no longer the bulwark it once was.
There is a difference between refusing to do something against an individual because of the circumstances of the case, but you have a huge problem when the people in charge of upholding the law make a blanket statement they will not do their job because they personally dislike something about it (especially because of political agendas)….
There seems to be one reaction towards immigration sanctuary localities around here and another for 2A sanctuary localities.
While I agree they are similar in many ways, I would say that many oaths of office include upholding the Constitution. Where state law and the Constitution contradict, there is reasonable cause for refusing to enforce an unconstitutional law.
I don’t think you can make that argument with abortion unless you also refuse to recognize the supreme court’s jurisdiction on the matter.
This is what “checks and balances” are for. The prosecutor gets to decide what cases to pursue and what to ignore, but the other people in the whole scheme of government get to look and, at times, take action. If what the prosecutor was doing seemed to be in line with the other branches of gov’t, as elected by the people, then all is good. But when there is a discrepancy… then there will be consequences.
Some men you just can’t reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it… well, he gets it.
You might want to lay low, Alec. There’s no need to fire off any more hot takes for a while.
You can not ask an your betters to not give their opinions on topics of note.
“ … ranks of actors with Latin roots in Hollywood to find someone who has a similar facial structure”
Look in Ottawa, not Hollywood.
EXACTLY!
Does this dumbass think Eric Stoltz really looked like Rocky Dennis? Or has he simply never heard of a makeup department?
Is John Legumeidontknow actually gay? He played that right?
I believe he is actually a three-toed sloth.
He played a French midget.
Lou Diamond Phillips is never getting another role.
Do Don Francisco and Carmen Miranda qualify as Hispanic?
Oh, also James Franco’s father was a Spanish immigrant as was Castro’s. So he’s pretty well-cast. – this is a highly offensive and ignorant claim. Wikipedia reliably informs me he was Portuguese not spanish
Also wasn’t James Franco canceled at some point?
Also Francois is a fash name
Franco was canceled cause a bunch of “#MeToo” cuntes acted as if Hollywood roles for women don’t always involve women doing casting couch interviews first.
Given Hollywood, I’d be surprised if that wasn’t true for a significant portion of actors as well as actresses.
I am sure many guys also had to service the dick to get their roles….
The internet has been all over this one. And per “the internet”, his father is from the same valley as Castro’s ancestors, separated by a border but only a few km.
So Franco has a very famous Latino name, is a dead ringer for a young Castro, is of similar genetic heritage, but was born in America rather than in Central or South America….. therefore it is racist to use him as an actor to portray someone born in the Caribbean.
The big story here is just how much trouble the media has had answering this criticism by Leguizamo.
They’re getting mighty granular with these subdivisions, luckily I don’t give half a flying fuck about Hollyweird anymore.
I think he just completely whiffed, thinking of Franco as a generic white dude from America. Because white Hispanic?
Any way, he thought to use a moment to pimp for more roles being reserved for people like him, and by extention for him. The result put everyone on the left in a box.
Leguizamo is just a loudmouthed ass who thinks people actually give a shit about his opinions.
HOW DARE YOU! He’s a stronk BIPOC LGBTQ!
Which is precisely the box he put them all in…. which is why I find it entertaining.
Also, Leguizamx claimed in one of his specials to be half Jewish, so he is taking jobs from full Latinxes.
As a true redhead, no woman should ever be allowed to dye her hair and usurp the beauty of my ancestors.
They may seem crazy, but as they are not true gingers, they are only acting.
Aren’t all women crazy?
THAT’S A TRANNY, MAN!
Considering that the most liberal abortion laws in Europe are about the same as the Mississippi law that got Roe overturned, perhaps the pant-shitting panic is just slightly overstated.
Several groups have adopted a brilliant strategy of asking pro-choice demonstrators about their opinions on what restrictions on abortion should be allowed.
The gimmick is to get them to state a limit that is more restrictive than the laws they are protesting.
Crowder was able to get several pro choice protesters to say that “obviously” abortion should be illegal if you can detect a heartbeat. (He cleverly contrasted this with others who were adamant that it was completely a woman’s choice up to and including during a full term labor, mere moments before delivery)
Another meme I saw circulating was in Indiana where the 10 year old rape victim became a cause celeb. A group of young women angrily protesting in favor of Roe V Wade argued with a pro-life “reporter” and all agreed that abortion should be completely legal…. up to 6 to 8 weeks. They were stunned to learn the law they were protesting was much more lenient rhan that.
Second-place, here we come!
Or maybe Fulham doesn’t yo-yo.
It’s not just Texas, a couple of cities here in Ohio tried to sue Netflix for streaming fees. I seem to recall they argued that it fell under existing cable laws, because they didn’t understand technology, the laws they passed, nor the English language.
They’re going after streaming services now, but if this goes on we could see prog municipalities sending bills to people like “Daily Wire,” or even us.
Cue “Tax Man”
The state HAS to pick the winners & losers…
Yeah, skimming the Texas article I couldn’t help but think — YouTube channels definitely would fall under this interpretation, and if you stretch a bit… so would video teleconferencing, especially if the meetings are regularly scheduled.

Being a “Foreigner” English Girl Born in Japan | Japanese is My Native Language! ft. Jazmine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9AwPUy7a_8
As someone who speaks no Japanese I got nothing
As someone that went to school with the locals wherever my dad was stationed, I till you that’s the best way to not only learn languages, but cultures…
Huh. It’s more fun when I meet white people that only speak Japanese.
how often does that happen?
Also another question: would that chick be considered hot in Japan? would the average Japanese dude want to tap that?
Rarely happens. She’s a cute girl to me. I’m sure some of the guys find her at least fetish type cute.
isn’t fetishising non Japanese women problematic in Japan like fetishising asian women is in the US?
Are you asking if she makes all those noises Asian women do during sex despite the fact she is a a honkey?
I hear that there is a huge demand for exotic (ie, blonde, redhead, Eastern European) prostitutes in various Asian countries.
When I was stationed in Okinawa in the late ’80s and Japan Inc was riding high, there was a big scandal involving two WM’s (women Marines). They were tall, blond and pretty good looking. They were also moonlighting as escorts for Japanese businessmen. The scuttlebutt was spit on whether they were just arm candy or were providing full services.
In any event, they were caught because they were making so much doing that they forgot to cash their checks from the Marines. When they looked into how a couple non-rates were able to survive with no money they ran into the escort stuff. Both were court martialed and kicked out.
One of them came back and kept escorting.
What’s a fetish, honestly? I don’t think they even think about it in those terms.
A fetish is when other people are sexually fascinated by things you find distasteful.
Anything that’s not intrinsically sexual being an object of sexual arousal – e.g., glasses.
Aw, yeah, glasses…
By that definition, you would be an extremely strange person to have no fetishes. For example, only turned on by vaginas.
I can’t think of many things intrinsically sexual besides the organs involved.
Fine, fine: “a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc.”
“intrinsically” was overstating it.
And still, “glasses”.
XD
Fetish is a religious term, involving the worship of an object as opposed to a deity.
Masks are a fetish, for example.
At 6’1″, her options were going to be limited regardless.
She’s dorky, but attractive. Bit then again, I am old enough that young and in shape puts you way over the line in any case.
*looks around*
There’s way to many fatties to have standards much higher than that. Especially once you add ‘is a decent human being’ into the mix.
I have cousins who are half Japanese. The ones that looked less Japanese were harassed when they attended school in Japan. Maybe things have changed over a couple decades.

No squiggly lines in the comments
I suppose that’s one extra benefit to living a very quiet life. The odds that some academic 100 years from now is going to tear through my life to try to figure out if I’m a secret bastion of The Message ™ [whatever that Message has become] is about the same as the Sun decided “Sod off you lot” and booking it to join the party at Alpha Centauri without the rest of the Solar System.
I plan to write an autobiography filled with completely fabricated accounts of my own life such that even if some academic in future centuries, sufficiently motivated by the boredom of a post-scarcity technological singularity, were to become so painfully self-loathing as to investigate me, it would be impossible to discern fact from fiction.
Hmmm….
“I lost over 10,000 fully automatic machine guns in the Pacific Ocean when my yacht overturned. Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin both kept a level head and used the bilge pumps to right the massive 300 foot long ocean going yacht. Sadly, the velvet ceilings in the top most cabins were a total loss.
What could we tell all the orphans? The machine guns were lost. They would be heartbroken…”
“My plan to take over the government of Micronesia would have worked, if not for that that stray Egg McMuffin. I can’t go back.”
A collaboration beckons…
Would read.
There is something to be said for erasure theory, the contention that by not acknowledging the existence of gay people throughout history that you in effect erase them and pretend that homosexuality is somehow a recent thing. It is inspiring to young people of whatever stripe to know that others like them existed and lead productive and admirable lives.
But the pendulum often swings the other way in over-claiming historical figures as gay. The waters are further muddied by how gay people were accepted and defined at various points throughout history. Alexander of Macedon would probably be considered bisexual today, but sexual fluidity was more normative back then at least according to some sources. Lincoln? Hard to say. Oscar Wilde? Like a three-dollar bill.
Tonio,
I hear you. And maybe this a problem on my side, but I have never felt better/inspired because other people with some characteristic I might have, have accomplished things. Whether it is people claiming their race/gender/sexual preference/eye color did something, and thus they have value, baffles me. As an individual I have admired others that have accomplished things, but have only found satisfaction in MY OWN accomplishments/successes/failures.
That wiring is what puts you in the weirdo libertarian camp.
Exactly this.
Even I, the perfect and only true libertarian sometimes feels a twinge of tribalism.
I’ve never understood the attraction to organizations like the DAR, where they just sit around talking about how great their ancestors were.
Of course it might have something to do with the fact that mine were mongrel hillbillies, but regardless…
There can be a certain motivating factor in realizing that people with the same or similar limitations, capabilities, or characteristics as you were able to achieve things that you yourself might like to achieve. “If he could do it, I can do it” kind of thing. I’ve no idea what comfort any gay man in 2022 might possibly take from a couple of aristocratic finooks dying in the most famous shipwreck in history.
When I look at historical people that have accomplished great things, from “Alexander of Macedonia”, to “DaVinci”, to the Jewish guy that created a new religion, what I focus on is the characteristics that allowed them to be great. Those characteristics tend to be intelligence, drive, belief, perseverance, and the ability to see beyond what others accept as reality. It’s never their race, gender, sexual preference, or any other physical characteristic. I am sure one could make the case for seeing how a Greek like Alexander managed to overcome the various peoples of his time (and look at difference of their physical characteristics), but I think this exercise is one that leads you down the path to making all the wrong sort of conclusions.
The key is always their individual characteristics. after all, if it was being a white guy or a gay guy that made them accomplish things, then nobody would accomplish anything as all white or gay guys would be trying to outcompete each other…
I don’t disagree with your reasoning. Superficialities are rarely what makes someone successful or admirable. But narrative is an important part of human experience, and there’s value in being able to co-opt the narrative of someone similar to ourselves and use it to advance our own. So, as a random example, let’s say I’m a mid-level employee in my 40s and considering striking out as an entrepreneur for the first time. Reading biographies of business magnates who didn’t launch their own venture until later in life might be inspiring. Or somebody taking up an interest in, say, economics might take inspiration from Henry Hazlitt, who wrote a spectacularly famous treatise on economics despite having never formally studied the subject and having no college degree.
That said, it’s easily taken too far, and as I mentioned, I have no clue whatsoever why two guys who may have gone down on the Titanic before it sank would hold any real narrative value to a gay man in modern society. Then again, it ain’t my narrative.
Major Butt rose through the ranks in the military and excelled at being a party planner for two presidents. He was fairly impressive at what he did. The Titanic thing was just bad luck. He already had achieved notoriety, at least at the time.
Not acknowledging the existence of gay people?
Don’t y’all have all of Ancient Greece and a good chunk of Rome? I mean… come on — until the uptight Protestants entered the picture, y’all were behind the wheel for a lot of Western Civ! (Cue Dr. Demento playlist). 😉
There never comes a time when everyone says “Alright, this is about where we want to be as a society. Y’all protesters can go home now.” It’s not a clear line when just activism turns into grifting. We’re getting close to where it’s obvious to most people that grifting is more likely.
Queue Jordan Peterson lectures on the pendulum between the needed forces of Chaos (reformations) and Order (status quo / keeping what works) and how societies are screwed up when one side or the other is too strong…
That’s why I’d join the Nazi party in 1946 and not today. Balance is important.
You jest, but I’d unironically support a Bolshevik revolution at this point if I thought it was going to result in the mass murder of the current technocratic-managerial aristocracy. Freedom’s gone and not returning anyway, I want to see if king’s bleed blue.
*kings even.
I wouldn’t be surprised that a lot of people that went along with the bolshevik shit did it just cause they wanted to punish those that fucked them over…
pretend that homosexuality is somehow a recent thing
Sure, if we ignore the Greeks entirely.
I read on the internet that Wilde was the originator of the limp wristed, lisping, flaming style of gayhood.
Also, the way society reacted to much of this was different back in the day. Marriage was a financial transaction, men often went whoring, sodomy was illegal no matter the sex, etc. Same-sex partnerships were just not a thing, no matter the proclivities of people. Hence the old term “long term male companion” when there was most likely romance involved.
Huh-huh, “Major Butt”.
Clean energy may require a compromise or two
More crucially, the bill includes requirements for domestic manufacturing of EVs and their battery components to qualify for the extended credit. As written, the law requires that 40% of battery components be sourced from factories in the U.S. or its free-trade agreement partners; that batteries be U.S. made by 2029; and that Chinese components and minerals be phased out beginning in 2024.
Right now, it is not clear if any U.S. battery plant can meet the law’s requirements. To keep the credits flowing once the law takes effect next year, the Biden administration will have to waive some provisions of the soon-to-be-approved law.
One unexpected effect of the law will be to highlight a comment Tesla CEO Elon Musk made on the EV maker’s most recent conference call, and has made before, that coming demand for EVs will make the next half-decade a great time to be an entrepreneur mining or refining the lithium that powers electric vehicle batteries. The law’s buy-American provisions will only add to those pressures.
“It is basically like minting money right now. There’s, like, software margins in lithium processing right now,” Musk said on the recent earnings call. “So I would really like to encourage, once again, entrepreneurs to enter the lithium refining business. You can’t lose.”
Just don’t try to mine in America.
Feature, not a bug. The waivers will go to political cronies. Plus 10% for the Big Guy.
The reality is that no matter what the idiots spout, the ONLY existing “green” tech that can return more value and green energy than it will cost to set up and use, is nuclear. Solar and wind are nothing but marginal rackets that allow these people to steal trillions of dollars from the productive and the individuals in order to enrich themselves and to buy allegiance from those that can not exist without their wealth transfer rackets.
And while the hucksters have realized that those of us pointing out the AGW racket is not to be taken seriously – as long as the very people peddling the end of the world also continue to completely dismiss the only true green tech that can meet energy requirements for a prosperous and growing society (nukular) that address the concerns they claim to be driven by, to block those of us that make that argument, have started giving lip service to nuclear energy being part of the solution – they are not really doing much to actually make us green energy sufficient.
Battery tech of today, and of the far away future, will NOT solve the problem because of the scale involved.
👆
It’s a lesson that most people feel compelled to learn the hard way.
Unfortunately we’re in the same boat with them.
I did research recently and found out how mining lithium and the other metals needed for batteries are TERRIBLE for the environment and the people doing the mining. It’s the ultimate NIMBY situation with a big side dish of cronies gettin’ rich.
I mean, hydro is awesome too, from a cost benefit standpoint, and carbon emissions…
From what I understand most viable hydro projects have already been done, so this is not going to do much (unless they start creating massive underwater plants to do tides in the ocean next)….
Not true, certainly many of the best does are already constructed and in use. But, There are some projects existing with spots for turbines that have never been hooked up. Many are being dismantled. The environ nuts simply won’t let any more be built.
Clean energy requires nuclear.
FTFY
Cale has been disappointing me for three decades now.

If you write it out longhand, it’s “completely unable to win a national championship though that undoubtedly has somewhat to do with the sacking of Switzer.”
More reliance on renewables should also benefit rate payers, since new wind-electricity plants are now much cheaper than new plants that burn coal or natural gas, according to the investment bank Lazard. In some cases, a new wind plant with existing tax subsidies can be cheaper than even continuing to run a coal plant that’s already in use, Lazard said.
“Cheaper.”
a new wind plant with existing tax subsidies can be cheaper
LOL. It’s always cheaper when you get someone else to pay for it.
It’s easy for government to play accounting games and use gimmicks to claim whatever bullshit they need to convince the majority of the sheep that are too stupid to see through the racket being sold…
See the bill they passed the other day, which was comically named something about stopping/tackling inflation, and that will do nothing of that, but will actually make things worse right after it manages to create the pretense – just long enough – for them to claim victory for an election cycle….
It says “inflation reduction” right in the title. There is a law or at least a rule that prevents lies in titles, right?
See, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you” rule…
“Without even the courtesy of a reach around.”
Also, much less useful, seeing as how we have no meaningful grid level storage to balance the load with supply.
If the government took money from other people and gave it to me, it would be cheaper for me to buy a new car every year than keep my existing car.
Someone might want to ask why German electric bills have tripled, then.
Pretty cool that Anne Heche can drunk drive a manual transmission.
And play Grand Theft 7 at the same time?
Like all Romanians in my day I learned and drove my first years with a manual transmission, but have used an automatic for the last 10… But it comes back rpetty fast, I drove a friends car with a manual and in a couple of minutes I got used to it.
Manual transmission = “you drive the car”…
Automatic transmission = “the car drives your sorry ass”…
I hate how hard it is to get a manual transmission today..
Now, fight me!
My friend who bought a ford f150 waited 2 extra months for one with manual. Apparently all the ones at Europe dealers were automatic and they brought him one from South Africa.
Sure, just not well apparently.
Chick hit a house. That takes some doing.
Could have walked away unscathed (excepting legal consequences), but decided to drive to the scene of the second accident.

But I guess being a Hollywood nutbag will do that to you.
I zoomed in – I think that’s an automatic.
Oh no!
I watched a few episodes of sandman. I did not read the graphic novel / comic / whatever. The show seems OK overall though the Hell episode looked cheesy as fuck.
Someone recommended “warrior”, a series by Bruce Lee’s daughter billed as what his version of Kung Fu would have looked like. One episode in, it is a bit heavy handed with the racist tropes, but probably not that far off for a movie about mass Chinese immigration in the old west.
Holy shit, he actually said it.
The Ohioans can’t catch break.
Interesting canard from my own biases about the media…. I didn’t notice any reporting in that article about the races of any of the individuals in the two groups or the police.
Seems odd in this day and age where that is often the first fact reported.
Probably roving youths or something.
That’s why it’s better to stay out of the south part of the state. The media is just trying to scare us about micro-plastics.
I thought drinking through paper straws and paying 10 cents a bag at the grocery store had solved the plastipocalypse.
Our stores are still allowed to use plastic bags. One chain decided to do away with them in one county for reasons.
We still have a plastic straw ban. I don’t know what changed, but most restaurants and convenience stores are co oletely ignoring it now.
There’s a reason I-70 is called “The Hick Line.”

Proponents of the buyback tax, like Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, argue that companies can put their cash to work investing more in plants and higher salaries. Opponents say it will hurt returns of retirement plans and pension funds.
Listen to Bernie. He knows what he’s talking about. Just look at his track record of success in the world of entrepreneurship and corporate governance.
I’ve got no issue with buybacks.
I do have an issue with the Fed underwriting the behavior.
You can’t judge Bernie like that. He is an everyman living the life of a blue collar worker.

Bom dia,
Hope everyone had a good weekend, I can’t keep up with those threads. My son decided it was time to start walking.he took a few tentstive steps last week, but Saturday just jumped right up said “Today’s the day!” And now he’s like a little giggly drunk perosn stumbling around the house. Need to redouble the childproofing efforts.
To stay on topic: yes, who cares if they were gay. But the article on Butt and Millett was interesting anyway. Sometimes it’s interesting to learn about the smaller cogs in history
who cares if they were gay
Everyone should care. History only matters if you can show the people involved were just like you. That is why we need more research into things like penis/cup size of historic figures, hair color/style/baldness, …
I think we need to stage historic reenactments on college campuses, featuring young coeds demonstrating their bravery in communing with their oppressed Sapphic sisters of history.
Look, Shakespeare just had a really high forehead! (Hat tip to The Upstart Crow where this is a running gag, but I couldn’t find a specific video link. Funny show if you’re looking for a Blackadder-ish bit of British Comedy).
Now (or soon) you can do fun stuff with your son like hide and seek and playing catch and tag instead of just caring for him.
Spend as much time with your son as you can afford to. Really the best time of your life. So magical.

The Acid Story with Curtis Yarvin | The Tim Dillon Show

Tim entertains me but even he could not make Yarvin that much less boring
That was a good interview. Tim isn’t the dummy he sometimes portrays.
I never seen Tim as a dummy, or portraying one except maybe very rarerly, though I doubt we agree on politiks.
At least his politics seem to be his own. He’s no NPC for either party.
true.
and he seems to have no fear of being canceled. Which is good for comedy.
When he says “people”, he means “myself & my puke elitist ruling class”

Why Are Media Ignoring This Muslim Mayor’s Racism And Alleged Election Fraud In Michigan?
Islam is anti-racist so no Muslim can be racist. Also Muslims are oppressed and as such they cannot be the oppressors and only the oppressors can be racists.

When schools in one North Carolina county reopen later this month, new security measures will include stocking AR-15 rifles for school resource officers to use in the event of an active shooter.
The problem here is the SRO. We’ve seen them cower and refuse to engage in other school shootings.
SRO: “I signed up for this to bully kids and enjoy looking at young tail.”
You would have to make it to the locker, get the guns and the defend. Anyone doing that is not already actively engaged and has no major impetus to engage.Armed teachers is the best solution. They are engaged and prepped to defend immediately.

The death of rationality is upon us
Cale Gundy, a fixture on the Oklahoma sideline and the longest-tenured football coach in the Big 12, resigned Sunday night, saying that he read aloud “a word that I should never — under any circumstance — have uttered” off the screen of a player’s iPad during a film session last week.
He said he noticed that a player, who was supposed to be taking notes during a film session, was distracted and said he picked up the player’s iPad and read the words on the screen, including the unspecified term.
“The unfortunate reality is that someone in my position can cause harm without ever meaning to do so,” Gundy wrote in a statement posted to his Twitter account. “In that circumstance, a man of character accepts accountability. I take responsibility for this mistake. I apologize.”
Gundy said that in the moment he “did not even realize” what he was reading and, as soon as he did, “I was horrified.”
“I want to be very clear: the words I read aloud from that screen were not my words. What I said was not malicious; it wasn’t even intentional,” Gundy wrote. “Still, I am mature enough to know that the word I said was shameful and hurtful, no matter my intentions.”
The world has been taken over by conjure-women.

This happened in Oklahoma? JFC, we’re doomed.

OU has been firmly proggie since I went there at least.
I shared an office with the Womyns Student Association and learned about how the science was settled — only lesbians could be true feminists. There were raging debates still about whether penetrative sex was allowed (replica phalluses were obviously verboten but some lesbians still believed that dolphin shaped, or other tools for stimulating the vagina were acceptable) and whether or not male fetuses should be aborted.
a word that I should never — under any circumstance — have uttered
Everyone who heard the word is forever tainted. We can’t rid the world of the word as long as one person knows it.
You can’t rid the world of it when a subset of the population has a free pass on it’s usage in many contexts.
Oh, some of the employees at work are unable to form a single sentence w/o using “nigga” 2 or 3 times.
About like the Irish use “fuck”.
Capping a long and illustrious career with a spineless apology that did not need to be given is no way to go out.
Curious if this word is so vile…why isn’t the player also apologizing for having it appear?
That’s racist.
They bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into.
I’ve been to various beach towns on the east coast, gulf coast, and whatever coast Cartagena Colombia is. The beach in that picture of Hainan Island looks like for a place that is heavily developed they did a great job preserving it and adjacent green space.

Meetings in the morning so I can multi task when working from home… Actual work in the PM, so not able to do this..
Why are you defending yourself to a glorified sock?
Cause I feel for the Rufus!
Feel the Roof.
You know who really enjoys fisting?
Sock puppets.
I have been working.
Yeah, at 10pm tonight.
Training class from 10-5 every day this week…
Gah, 10-6.
This better end early.
Some of us old geezers are retired.
First-year Sooners head coach Brent Venables, who served as an assistant alongside Gundy from 1999 to 2011 in Norman, issued a corresponding statement Sunday night.
“It’s with sadness that I accept Coach Gundy’s resignation. He’s dedicated more than half his life to Oklahoma Football and has served our program and university well,” Venables said. “We’re thankful for that commitment. We also acknowledge that in stepping aside he’s placed the program and the welfare of our student-athletes first. In coaching and in life, we’re all accountable for our actions and the resulting outcomes.”
Speaking of fetishistic degeneracy…
And Coach, what of the player who wrote that infamous word on his iPad? Where is the accountability for him?
Ron Paul:
913…The year that led to today’s economic tortureBoth the income tax & The Fed were created that year.The income tax made everyone’s earnings the property of the government first.What the government allows people to keep is then relentlesly stolen by The Fed’s inflation.
And
The Empire & The Fed — Born Together, Dying Together
William the Conqueror had the opportunity to rid us of them, but he failed.
913? I knew those damned Medieval English had something to do with it.
The third Bank of the United States? Why didn’t the first two cause our demise?
Because the rest of the founding fathers were wise enough to time-limit their charters while placating the monarchy-worshiping aristocrat manque Hamilton.
True enough for the First [oh how the Bro must weep], but Hamilton was stone cold by the time of the Second.
True, but the expiring charter held over in the subsequent iterations. If only every other law passed by congress had a built-in sunset provision. A glib can dream.
‘Somebody quit their job for reading a word out loud.’
This is the dumbest shit ever. Everyone knows what the coach was doing- trying to embarrass the kids into paying attention, like teachers have done for millennia. Someone needs to yell the word that cannot be named a bunch of times and just really desensitize society or something. Almost as ridiculous as that life of Brian scene where they stone the priest for saying Jehovah.
It’s retarded. Oops…
Don’t be a spaz.
Coach Ron Burgundy.
Just make the team watch Blazing Saddles.
The quarterback is near.
Michael Richards would like a word…
What happened to the kid whose ipad Gundy was reading off of?
Was he kicked off the team? Expelled from school? Did he get a passing grade on his Huckleberry Finn book report?
Only one race of heretics get hurled into the void for any transgression.
He’s in recovery, still trying to shake that incident off.
He’ll probably never be the same after hearing it out loud.
‘I like the cut of this guy’s jib.’
Won’t it be harder for the school resource officers to run away from the shooter if they have to carry a rifle while they do it?
Wait, I’ve got it. When the shooting is over and parents start to ask where was the SRO while it was going down, he can say “I was fiddling with the safe, it wouldn’t open. We need more funding.”
Yes.
The convoluted process which registers each SRO’s fingerprint to the safe via six government employees wasn’t followed correctly.
The solution will be adding more funding and another three people to the process to ensure proper compliance.
I love both those song, but damn that second one is so great. I love the lyrics, it has such a great story behind it.
‘Wait, it’s the other guy trying to overthrow what now? You do realize your job and oath is to carry out the duties of your job and prosecute people, don’t you?’
Typical progjection.
Also, that evil clerk who wouldn’t record gay marriages should rot in jail for not going her job, but this guy is a hero.
The scapegoating of Alex Jones
If any kind of precedent is being set by the way Jones’ trial was handled then we’re all well and truly screwed. The court took accepted jurisprudence and procedure and standards of evidence and tossed them out the window.
It’s obvious that no conservative will get justice in D.C. that court system was also weaponized so the crooks could use the law to destroy their enemies and provide cover for their own criminality.
Hell, they took established First Amendment protections and threw it in the shredder. Denying established narratives is grounds for being sued. Or eventually prosecuted. Gee, I wonder why they would want to do that…
The left’s tactic is to destroy anyone that is seen as problematic or annoying to their agenda. Sending people to camps would give them away, so now they just use the institutions to basically make someone an untouchable homeless fuck.

Although he raped my eyeballs with those leopard print slippers so maybe they’re right.

I don’t think the people that are running the Outrage Mob right now have thought through how this could end up. If you keep gaslighting everyone at some point you are going to have a reverse George Floyd moment.
Some kindly grandma is going to get killed during a car jacking on video and a real mob will form and decide to take justice in their own hands. Unfortunately, I doubt Ben Crump will be one of the people swept up by that mob.

First day of senior year for the teens. They actually made it out the door on time on day one.
First day is Wednesday here. I am looking forward to a quiet house, if the cats cooperate.
Good morning, Sloop!
Excellent song choices this morning. For stinky commies, they were so damn good!
The left was super excited about Kansas. Then Indiana said “Hold my beer.”
So I read into this, and yes, Indiana just banned all abortions except for rape/incest/life of the mother in danger. To me this seems like an overreach, but with other nearby states have basically no restrictions, it might just even out in the wash. It remains to be seen if this will hurt the Republicans.
Well, Eli Lilly said it will now have to expand outside Indiana. Apparently there are a lot of employees who care more for abortion than cost of living or other issues.
Big companies encouraging their employees to not have children seems like a bad look to me.
No, it’s completely liberating. Also definitely helps the bottom line with all this mandatory maternity leave stuff.
Keep it quiet. It is an opportunity to virtue signal and save money.
I blame the news stories about the girl from Ohio that came out right after the decision.
Here in Ohio, one state legislator introduced a bill banning all abortion, no exception. It’s ded in committee. Meanwhile, local news is talking up an initiative for a state constitutional amendment allowing “reproductive freedom”. I think they’re over-weighing their support on that.
In coaching and in life, we’re all accountable for our actions and the resulting outcomes.
“We wear the chains we forged in life.”
You’ll get yours.
Another group of “experts” that have yet to prove that they are in fact worthy of that title
My father was an exceptional fisherman. He would have been embarrassed to be that far off an estimate.
It also irritates me that these yahoos have equated quantity of fish with quality. Here in Minnesoda they have decided that the reason that the panfish are getting so small is because of overfishing. So they keep reducing limits. The fish keep getting smaller. My dad would go on hourlong rants about how dumb the DNR was. The problem – according to him – was the fish were being stunted because there were too many of them.
He would tell you the size started going down when they first cracked down on the possession limit. Basically now, you can’t keep more than the daily limit. That effectively ended people from Indiana, the Dakotas and Illinois driving to Minnesoda and fishing for panfish. Once they couldn’t bring home a cooler full of filets, it didn’t make sense to buy an out of state license and rent a hotel room.
Without that pressure, the fish population exploded and there isn’t enough food for them to all grow big. The DNR can’t seem to look at their graphs/surveys and notice that no matter how much they restrict the limit the fish get smaller.
That’s the most Midwest complaint I have ever read.
Well it is quite the deal and a guy has to say something.
I was back in my hometown fishing this weekend and it made me think of the Old Guy. Told the Altar Boy and his girlfriend a lot of stories about him. Then I read this story and it was too much to handle.
The DNR knows, but since they’re probably staffed with anti-human environuts….

Still haven’t heard a word back about the internal job application.
The hiring manager did pre-apologize about the fact that HR is going slower than a sloth, but I still have some disappoint.
Meh. Hoped to have an offer by now!!!
I heard from my company’s HR – we had been doing a lot of hiring of technical talent to replace offshore people we are letting go – that hiring is going to be seriously slow walked…
I bet they know the coming recessionary economic problems might actually lead to layoffs…
I’ve had 3 open technician spots for months….HR on my end is also at a halt. Funny thing is, one is an internal reassignment in which both myself and the losing manager agree for the move and yet…nothing.
If like my old job, you’ll hear back in 5 months after you’ve already taken something else.
Feature, not bug.

Saw a kitten squished on the road today. 🙁
That’s why our boys are strictly indoor kittehs. I’m not morally opposed to letting cats outside, especially in quiet, not-heavily-traveled areas, but we’re much too close to a major thoroughfare. 😢😿
There are lots of outdoor cats here and the street isn’t particularly busy, this was a very young kitten. Reminded me of my one and only cat that I raised from a few days old, even had similar coloring.
The idea of having AR-15s in schools does not sit well with Dorothy Espelage, a UNC Chapel Hill professor in the School of Education who has conducted decades of study and research on school safety and student well-being.
Oh no.

If you fully train the students in marksmanship there will be no problems. The first step was to try and (successfully) divorce several generations from common practices like gun safety and marksmanship. It then made guns an unknown, something to fear. Reintroduce marksmanship beginning in Junior High!
While marksmanship was never part of the curricula at my school, I did take my Hunters Safety Course class in the school. Given by the shop teacher.
Marksmanship was part of Boy Scouts.

Supporting a child that isn’t genetically yours isn’t harmful. For you to not support that child, the child would be harmed. Therefore, paternity fraud is morally justifiable.

Muh boondoggle!
A group representing General Motors (GM.N), Toyota Motor (7203.T), Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) and other major automakers said a $430 billion bill approved Sunday by the U.S. Senate will put achieving U.S. electric-vehicle adoption targets for 2030 in jeopardy.
“Unfortunately, the EV tax credit requirements will make most vehicles immediately ineligible for the incentive,” said the Alliance for Automotive Innovation’s chief executive, John Bozzella, adding the bill “will also jeopardize our collective target of 40-50% electric vehicle sales by 2030.”
The group had warned Friday that most EV models would not qualify for a $7,500 tax credit for U.S. buyers under the bill.
To be eligible for the credit, vehicles must be assembled in North America, which would make some current EVs ineligible as soon as the bill takes effect.
The Senate bill imposes other restrictions to deter automakers from using Chinese-made materials by phasing in required percentages of North American-sourced battery components. After 2023, vehicles with batteries that have Chinese components could not receive the credit, while critical minerals also face limitations on sourcing.
Subsidize harder!
40-50% EV sales by 2030 was impossible with or without subsidies. People don’t want them, the infrastructure isn’t there, and the materials don’t exist to make them
Well, yeah. But except for all that it’s gonna work out great!
You can get there if you block sales of regular cars.
So total sales will go down to near zero. Layoffs, downsizing and nationalization into the brand new American Motors it is.

Or that he’ll never be around to see 2030.
