I’m certain you have heard enough about fútbol in the past week you don’t want to hear my take on it. So I’ll just go ahead and post a bit of the casual racism that nearly always accompanies the World Cup:
What did think it would be? Here, I’ll do the search for her Instagram for you.
For the links!
A little bit personal for me. Not only did she teach at my university (not while I was there), she got lost at sea at my favorite place to spend a long weekend.
You know what? Not gonna lie, I kind of want to see Canelo kick his ass.
GMO corn ban sounds ridiculous given few plants had their genetics impacted by human selection over the course of millennia than corn. Of course it really means more Mexicans starve.
How dare El Presidente Dudebro influence American politics!
Um…an “informal market” is called a “black market,” AP. They tend to flourish in communist countries.
FYI: Al Jazeera is reporting nothing but World Cup news.
Hmmm. That’s three volcanoes in a week. Freaky.
Another jaunty tune. Enjoy your Tuesday!
The US can take all that banned corn and make more ethanol with government subsidies. What candidate wants to woo the corn states?
I see we beat Iran.
That’s what that loud cheer from the bar across the street was…
Wasn’t a cheer, it was a massive, collective sigh of relief.
I was stuck in a tedious meeting but it looked like we barely squeaked one out.
This team does not look capable of beating anyone else who makes it to the knockout rounds.
The good thing about being a US soccer fan – if you’ve been around any time at all, you go in with low expectations. Ask Nephilium or Warty what it’s like to be a Browns fan.
The Browns! Now with a QB who’s too stupid to just pay for whores!
Hey! We’re not mathematically eliminated from the Playoffs yet!
Of course, local reporters are enjoying watching the Stillers be ranked below the Browns.
It’s weird, though. I can believe a lawsuit with 5-10 women involved. But 24? That makes it seem like just a payday scheme.
The US is ranked 16 and Iran is ranked 20. This was not a significantly uneven match in talent.
Don’t see why it would be a “relief”. The US is not Brazil. Iran is about their level.
Relief because we didn’t blow the opportunity, like we did so many goal scoring chances. Easily should’ve been 2 or 3 goals for the U.S.
oh yeah. that makes sense.
Don’t believe the FIFA rankings. They’re an absolute joke.
So’s your face!
I mean yeah you’re probably right.
They can beat the Dutch, call me crazy.
It’s possible.
Heck we should’ve beat Belgium in ’14 (mostly because of superhuman goal-keeping) but we couldn’t put away a sitter near the end. I definitely see the next match as 1-0, just can’t say which end of the scoreline will be ours.
I don’t know. Belgium controlled the midfield and had so many chances. Our guys are better at pacing now but they are also just kids….
We had no business holding Belgium scoreless through 90 minutes, but we did. That’s how a game can go.
The one thing I’m still not getting – where’s Reyna?
Aye-ran or I-ran?

Either way, it’s far away.
Iran so far?
I’m glad the world’s biggest terrorism sponsor was able to beat Iran today.

I wonder what percentage of vaccine fetishists are also anti-GMOs…
A barely tested experimental gene therapy in a shot is a must. But eating apples grown in the same way for decades is just too unsafe.

“Supporters of the plan say genetically modified seeds could contaminate Mexico’s age-old native varieties.”
So don’t plant them. Just turn them into tortillas and beer
[lights the Neph signal over corn/beer suggestion]
Corn works well in some styles of beer where you want to add some fermentable sugars without adding body. It’s common in cream ales and the like.
It can be added either as flaked corn or malted corn.
Fuller’s ESB has/has had some flaked corn in the recipe.
British aren’t opposed to using things the Germans frown upon.
Part of the reason for heavy corn/rice use in American beers was the use of 6-row malt.
Also, the Peruvian spit beer is made from corn.
Chicha.
I also learned over the past month about other ingredients with enough diastatic power to self-convert and more. I want to say it was chestnut, but I’d need to look back through the beers I’ve tasted to confirm.
I thought GMO seeds were sterile (intentionally so, so that farmers have to buy a new batch every year).
Some are, some aren’t. There have been lawsuits over GMO pollen.
(The seeds inside GMO tomatoes will germinate inside the berry. So you can cut open a tomato and find little green sprouts in it.)
I don’t know about true GMO seeds (as rice isn’t allowed to be sold with any GMO bits), but hybrid rice plants are fertile – it’s just that the second generation is generally very poor seed as compared to the hybrid plants. I would suspect that GMO plants aren’t sterile, but they’re as sterile as possible. Nature has a pesky way of thwarting man’s intent.
Life, uh, finds a way.
I don’t believe so. The main purpose of GMO seeds is to be able to douse the plants in
agent orangeroundup, which isn’t something small-scale farmers are doing. I don’t think the time and energy pays off saving seeds at the industrial agricultural level.I recall stories of Monsanto suing farmers after some of their seeds were found growing in the farmers’ fields and the farmers hadn’t paid. The farmers didn’t even want them, they had blown in or cross pollinated or something. Monsanto and co. are pretty close to Disney in terms of ruthless copyright/license enforcement.
It is, or would be, except for the fierce licensing enforcement from the seed companies that you mentioned. That’s what makes it not worth the gamble. The sugar beet co-op I live near knows how many acres each farmer plants and checks to make sure they purchased the enough seed from “official” sources. If they get caught buying not enough seed (because they held some over from the year before) they get in deep shit. And the stuff is not cheap. Thousands of dollars for a couple fields worth. I want to say my neighbor told me over $10k for his 300ish acres…don’t quote me on that.
But I’ve known plenty of guys growing non-GMO wheat and barley that save seed from the previous year crop to plant. A friend even had a mobile grain cleaning business to clean grain for seeding.
Monsanto is fucking evil.
I’m pretty sure that all apple trees, at least the ones producing apples we eat, are grafted.
Nevermind. I missed that this was about corn. Not sure why I was thinking of apples.
They are. Apples, I mean. In fact, my father was a professor of Pomology, with a doctorate in genetics. This is, specifically, what he did.
I’ll do the search for her Instagram for you.
Can’t click at work but I assume this in the Argentine chick.
Meh. Classic butterface.
She didn’t wear sunscreen as a child.
I wasn’t looking at her face, but her face looks fine to me.

Wipe all that SLAP off of her face, and then we can see what she looks like.
The planned ban would halve Mexico’s imports of yellow corn from the United States, a Mexican agriculture official told Reuters in October.
Supporters of the plan say genetically modified seeds could contaminate Mexico’s age-old native varieties.
Couldn’t the Mexicans just declare their native varieties to be boutique, artisanal corn and upcharge for them?
What’s the status of white, black, and red corn?
Ask Richard.
[golf clap]
That’s what they ship to the gringos. Mexicans ain’t falling for that shit.
Gentrified corn is racist and homophobic. This is well known to be ‘bad’.
If you consider illegal voting, Mexico has the biggest influence on U.S. elections.
Many of the protesters said their demands for intervention were supported by Article 142 of the Brazilian Constitution, which says that the military has the role of “guaranteeing constitutional powers” under the “supreme authority of the president.”
I looked up the Brazilian Constitution. I found an English translation. The bit in Article 142 about “guaranteeing constitutional powers” looks more like an executive summary or a preamble, not anything that sets out powers. On the other hand, it’s not like that’s stopped governments before and Brazil has had coups before.
The Brazilian military has a long and storied history of stepping in when they feel like it.
They usually don’t step out either.
¡De jeito nenhum josé!
So, you are saying that they might step in it?
Bring on the Dante’s Peak, I’m ready like Brosnan.

NPR will find a way to blame volcanos on people who drive SUV’s.
“Fracking eased pressure (or lubricated via groundwater injection) on key faults, shifting the tectonic pressures by the Ring of Fire, causing the increased volcanic activity (according to our model!)”
Shh. Make them write their own copy.
No joke. At least get paid for that.
I’m pretty sure that Klaus Schwab told President Tim Robbins that he would blow up the earth’s core and make all the volcanos erupt if we didn’t pay him $100 billion. Say what you will about the guy, but he’s great at follow through.
That’s how many years worth of CO2 from every car in the world? The climate changers will need to get us back to the Middle Ages faster now.

The Mexican volleyball players are better.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Poll Worker explains how his ENTIRE polling location was inoperable when they opened on Election Day.
This is getting very, very bad for Maricopa County. Very bad. Like, unbelievably bad.
And nothing else will happen. The Democrat winners of the close elections will be sworn in, the MAGA losers will be sent home in shame (probably after being warned that they don’t want to be J6ed as election deniers, do they?).
Oh, and any official who declines to certify the election will be arrested and jailed on felony charges. Yay, America.
I still don’t understand what the charges would be. They are elected representatives and they get to vote on the matter. If the vote must be “aye” then there is not really a vote.
The charge, like so many, will be “Failure to Obey”.
Basically, based on my reading of the Arizona statutes.
16-1010 provides for the penalty of a Class 6 Felony (however Arizona defines that) for the county board.
There’s a lot of stuff in Title 16, Arizona’s elections law, and it appears at times poorly written. I’m not a lawyer and I haven’t gone through all of them, but it looks to me like the procedure for contesting an election is AFTER the canvass is done (16-673), any elector has five days to file a challenge. There are provisions for what to do if a canvass is delayed, but it looks to me like the canvass needs to be finished at some point. It doesn’t look to me like the county board has the ability to contest an election by refusing to certify/canvass county results.
Eliminating every peaceful recourse is the plan. What comes next is coming.
*checks Black Friday sales on ammo, is pleasantly surprised*
Which is why they seek to eliminate the final of the four boxes of life as well.
The comments… ugh.
Strange how these people expected to be able to vote on election day.
Everyone but the tax cattle needs to have a say in our “democracy.”
The person in charge of overseeing that election just got herself promoted to Governor.
He was gonged offstage before he could finish so there may have been yet more problems he didn’t have time to ennumerate. They don’t want to know. And the possible discrepancy between “machines that don’t connect to the internet” and “machines that wouldn’t connect to the internet.” The voters of Maricopa deserve a better accounting of this.
Looks like he was reading prepared notes. I’d love to see him publish those.
Do not read the comments.
People here have claimed voting machines do not connect to the internet.
“Why is this voting machine asking me for my banking information?”
The only thing I can see having any direct change to the outcome is if there is any validity to the claims they mixed uncounted ballots with counted ballots. Which probably would come up in the required recounts of a few statewide races.
If this were truly the best timeline they would be forced to revote with UN observers present for maximum embarrassment.
Black markets sound icky. Icky things don’t happen in communist countries.

Calling them black markets is now racist. Hence the new term.
Continuing with the color commentary,
I watched an awesome kung fu film yesterday that had a villain named “Black Claw.” I was terribly disappointed that there was not a good guy named “White Claw.”
Don’t you mean a good gal? Because WC is a total white girl drink. Volvo driving soccer moms.
True. I have yet to finish so hope springs eternal. Maybe White Claw comes to save the day!
Would she show up, stop the battle and demand to speak to the manager?
I know dudes who drink White Claw. They disgust me.
I have drank a White Claw, but the only real seltzer I like is Topo Chico. Hard Mountain Dew is surprisingly good and zero sugar.
What if you capitalize it (Black markets)? Does that make it OK? Or worse? I can’t tell.
Anytime you involve capitalism you make it worse, comrade. Just ask any college professor.
The dude fought 3 weight classes up from his own? Wow. I wouldn’t be calling him any names anytime soon.
Meanwhile, here’s Capricho Aribe by my latest obsession, Poala Hermison.

I wouldn’t take candid photographs (could be on holiday… know what I mean, nudge nudge say no more!) even for my wife.
Taking shots like that and putting them up for the world to see? Utterly inconceivable.
No real point — just always puzzles me that people (especially young women) do it.
Ok… I get the drunk ones — but I would hope they’d rethink it when they sober up. And since I don’t drink, I still wouldn’t do it.
Tbf the average, self-described liberal is not actually liberal.
Stephen Colbert: “The word on the street is that you guys aren’t allowed to be liberal anymore.”

Those two are dumb enough to believe their own bullshit.
Dumb enough to eat each other’s bullshit.

MCCONNELL: “There is no room in the Republican Party for anti-Semitism or white supremacy. And anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view — in my judgment — are highly unlikely to ever be elected President of the United States.”

But enough about Biden and Senator Robert Byrd back in the day and all…
I think Trump’s got a few own goals lately. The first was announcing his run during the election, and the second was this Kanye thing.
I still believe Trump didn’t know some guy he didn’t know showing up with a black guy was racist.
Yeah, people forget Trump is old, and doesn’t really operate in those circles.
I don’t really know who Nick Fuentes is, but since every google result for his name comes back “white supremacist Nick Fuentes” and all seem to reference the ADL, I am completely certain that I still have no evidence that he is a white supremacist. Is he? Or is he a white supremacist in the ADL and SPLC use of the term, meaning not a BLM supporter?
I have no idea what white supremacy is. Even if it is something real, I honestly don’t care.
Well, white supremacy used to mean something, but that was a long time ago. When hispanics and eye-talians are white, and so are the Japanese to explain away their common racial beliefs – well, white just doesn’t mean much.
As far as white nationalist, that mostly means America for Americans, and assimilation for those who immigrate here. You can see how horrifying that is.
The WSJ editorial board, in their daily OMB op-ed, gleefully grouped Nick Fuentes in with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers as white nationalists. That pretty much cleared it up for me.
Uffda. Here’s the money paragraph:
Like every large company, VW has a social media presence in every country where they have a presence. For their Italian department, they might not have thought things all the way through.
bwahahahahahaha!

President Biden meets with Congressional Leaders: “We’re going to find other areas of common ground, I hope, because the American people want us to work together.”
First comment: “No we don’t. The American people want everyone in DC fired.” Well said.
Of course the narrative now is, “Let’s put aside all the political witch hunts we did. It would be divisive for you to do the same to us. Let’s work TOGETHER!”
Yeah, I think I can definitely say (and expect a majority if not practically an entirety of their voters to say) that not only do I not want them to work with the jackasses — I explicitly want them to roll back what they can from the last two years.
That’s also what I wanted after the Affordable Care (pass it to find out what’s in it!) Act, so yes… I’m already used to disappointment.
How dare El Salvador try to influence our elections. We would never do such a thing to them.

While the leadership of the unions were unhappy with Biden, some of the rank-and-file members were far more angry.
“Joe Biden blew it. He had the opportunity to prove his labor-friendly pedigree to millions of workers by simply asking Congress for legislation to end the threat of a national strike on terms more favorable to workers,” said Hugh Sawyer, treasurer of the Railroad Workers United, a caucus of union activists that had been campaigned against ratification of the tentative labor deals. “Sadly, he could not bring himself to advocate for a lousy handful of sick days. The Democrats and Republicans are both pawns of big business and the corporations.”
Come on, Joe.The workers of the world need you.
Biden really is deteriorating. I expected him to come up with some bullshit story about his days as a railroad worker by now.
Hunter has probably been involved with a train at some point.
…the tentative deals that were rejected by rank-and-file members of the unions were good deals for the workers, even in the face of those concerns. They include 24% wage increases over the four-year life of the deals, the biggest pay increases won by the unions in more than 50 years. Biden pointed out that union leadership had agreed to the tentative deals in September when they were negotiated and called them good deals for the rank-and-file members.
Joe Biden, inflation fighter.

The broader issue is that sexism, misogyny, discrimination, marginalization, and sexual violence within the profession do not just affect the profession. “This is inside economics,” Stevenson said. “But this is also why economists are doing a shittier job with the economy than they should.”
Relatively few women enter economics—and in particular very, very few Black women, according to the AEA. When female students do enter, they tend to not have their contributions acknowledged. They get talked over in the classroom. They get objectified in professional fora. They have to avoid professional events to avoid getting harassed. They are subject to high rates of abuse, in many cases from men who could make or break their careers by recommending them for jobs, refereeing their papers for journals, and helping them work on papers.
It grinds many of them down. “So many of the men in economics have a hard time seeing people as human,” Stevenson said. “They don’t really understand the cost of sexual harassment. They don’t understand the way it can sap your motivation. They don’t understand the way that can make you doubt your own abilities, question yourself. The derailment makes no sense to them. They think, Some guy put his hand up your skirt at a conference? Just get on with it. I think they really don’t understand the way that changes how women interact with lots of men in the profession after that.”
Sexism and racism are rife in the halls of academia? Say it ain’t so.
The new Ph.D. told me she had offers from both the government and academic institutions upon graduation. She took a government job. “I didn’t want to stay in academia. I think it’s a cesspool.”
Huh.
LOL. Maybe she’ll try Hollywood after she learns what the government is like.

Is it just me, or is this woman slipping out of her dress? Specifically, her left (to her side) nipple. Not complaining, just wondering. She is a good guitarist.
Oops. Her right side.
It’s those tube tops. Strapless tops now, I suppose. I remember a girl popped out of a tube top in high school once. Good times.
I don’t think so. I think it’s a bit of an illusion. I don’t really see much of an areola. I think it’s just the reflection of the guitar side on her skin, which might be puckering (creating the nipple effect) when it makes contact with the guitar.

Elon Musk, mass murderer
Twitter will no longer stop users from spreading false information about the Covid-19 virus or vaccines, according to an update on its content moderation policies.
It’s another major shift under new owner Elon Musk, who has pressed for “free speech” above all else on the platform. Twitter’s Covid-19 misinformation page was updated with a note saying that as of Nov. 23, the platform would no longer enforce its policies against spreading misleading information on the virus and vaccines — which had led to more than 11,000 account suspensions since 2020.
——-
On Capitol Hill, Democrats blasted the decision. “The misinformation is beyond dangerous, it’s potentially deadly to a lot of people who may be unable to see through a lot of the misinformation that’s out there,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told reporters Tuesday.
And medical professionals likewise said the move could harm people. “Nowhere near enough was being done to stamp out medical misinformation on social media previously; but this step, along with re-platforming voices who wish to sow confusion and increase mistrust in medicine, will do more harm,” said Jack Resneck Jr., the president of the American Medical Association, in a statement. He also urged patients to seek out accurate medical information, including from their own physician.
——-
This could mean the 11,230 accounts suspended since Twitter’s Covid-19 misinformation policy went into effect in early 2020 may soon be or are in the process of being reinstated. One of the biggest repeat offenders was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), whose personal account was reinstated last week after being suspended for repeatedly breaking Twitter’s policy against spreading false Covid-19 information.
Jenna Sherman, a program manager at health information research nonprofit Meedan, said she worries other social media platforms follow suit and reduce their Covid-19 misinformation enforcement as well.
Bring out your dead!
“You keep saying misinformation. I do not think that word means what you think it means.”
LOL not unless Elon is planning to purchase them, too.
Fear not, Democrats, you still have complete control of almost every other institution and platform in existence.
MUST. HAVE. ABSOLUTE. CONTROL.
“a lot of the misinformation that’s out there,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)”
Like you being a war hero?
Like him being a decent human being?
“You keep saying misinformation. I do not think that word means what you think it means.”

“Thai Buddhist temple emptied after all the monks test positive for meth
It’s a bad abbot.
Four Buddhist monks in Thailand have been shipped off to rehab after they all tested positive for meth…
They were also immediately booted from the monkhood in the wake of their positive tests — leaving their tiny temple without any religious leaders…
Still, the positive meth tests is just the latest instance of Thai monks behaving badly.
A drug-addled monk named Phra Annipalo, 34, was arrested earlier this month in northern Thailand after allegedly carjacking two vehicles and leading cops on a frantic chase.”
https://nypost.com/2022/11/29/thai-monks-in-rehab-after-testing-positive-for-meth/
Thai monks in rehab was an absolutely brilliant album!
Were they actual full time monks or were they there temporarily like Mormons on a mission. I ask because I worked with a Hmong guy who said they all had to spend some time as a monk. He was a nice enough guy, but certainly no saint.
“Twitter policy in 2015, before media/activists lobbied for the company to become a giant online daycare center: No direct threats of violence. Beyond that, Twitter doesn’t mediate disputes between users, or remove “offensive” content. If you feel a law was broken, contact police
It’s not like Twitter was run by a bunch of conservative Republicans in 2015. It was still generically liberal. But this was pre-2016 election, when everything really went haywire. Today these generic liberal policies would get castigated as “far right” or “extremist””
