My students wanted to know if I’d cancel classes on Pi Day. I told them that would be irrational. I did expect them to arrange their desks in a circle, but that backfired when the students behind me started making funny noises, as in “fart under the arm” noises. I turned around and…. WHAP! Right out of the Three Stooges. God bless student loans.
And Yahweh bless birthdays, because today’s include a guy who wrote something that no-one read; a guy who was tempted but resisted; a guy famous as a wife-swapper; one of the heroes of the Progressive Left; a woman who drank because she got too much dick; a guy who was satisfied with being number two; the star of the very best Scorsese movie; the last intelligent liberal politician; and a guy who had the true Motown sound.

A small part of me thinks “At least these folks have the courage of their convictions. Since they apparently truly believe humanity / society / whatnot is an existential threat to life on Earth, they’re taking a stand and risking their bodies and their careers.”
The the larger part of me says “Too bad they’re morons who have been brainwashed by their teachers, used as pawns for trying to tear down Western Civilization so a techno-dictatorship can replace it. Said dictatorship being almost certain to put these doofuses up against the wall (since they demonstrated they have the courage of their convictions but can be persuaded to stupid things and all)…”

Shut up, Janno. The adults are talking.
There were trans health care books in Nazi Germany?
I would expect there were guides on how to shower for them at least.
There’s even a movie, Ilsa – Xe Wolf of the SS.
Apparently. The Nazis weren’t big on homosexuals and definitely targeted them, so I imagine they weren’t crazy about trannies, either. The article goes on to talk about some kind of research institute. I have no doubt the claims about trannies and research are exaggerated, but it looks like there’s something there.
The article is, predicably, muddled, but it looks like some sort of trans Mengele was around and Hitler (or someone in his circle) ended it.
It looks like they’re trying to make pre-Hitler Germany out to be something of a trans haven of enlightenment and acceptance. That if only Hitler had not destroyed this “library” or these research materials the world would be some trans-paradise.
I’m calling bullshit. Did the Nazis destroy books related to sexuality research? Probably. Along with the millions of others books they burned.
Trying to put together that subway shooting from the story. As near as I can tell:
The guy who got shot (no names in the story, so Mr. X) was already on the train with a knife and a gun. Turns out he jumped the turnstile earlier to get on.
The guy who shot him, Mr. Y, gets on the train with some woman (Ms. Z). There was some kind of “dispute” which became an “altercation” between Mr. X and Mr. Y. During which Ms. Z stabs Mr. X in the back with some kind of knife. Mr. X then pulls the gun, which Mr. Y takes from, and shoots him twice in the head and once each in the head and neck.
The first use of a weapon is by a member of Mr. Y’s party, Ms. Z. But if Mr. X really was the aggressor (as the cops apparently concluded), then I think it’s probably a good call. Once you start a fight, you can’t complain if it escalates. But that really assumes Mr. X threw the first punch.
Seems like when Mr. X pulled a gun on Mr. Y, Mr. Y had every reason to suspect a deadly attack was imminent, and to take whatever steps were needed to defend himself.
The initial stabbing by the woman clouds that a bit, if it can be proven she did it at the urging of Mr. Y. Or if the gun was pulled on her, and not at Mr. X.
But I could see the police reluctance to arrest anyone when there was reasonable doubt about whether the shooting was self-defense or not.
I watched the video that leads up to the shooting.
Mr. X spent a lot of time threatening to beat Mr. Y. Mr.X Austin has several inches and a bunch of pounds on Mr. Y.
They do indeed start throwing hands, with Mr. Y getting the worst of it, getting tagged in the face pretty good then ending up in a seat with Mr X on top of him. It’s at this point Ms. Z steps in and stands Mr. X in the back several times.
Mr. X is somewhat incredulous she stabbed him and and this point pulls a knife and gun out of his coat. Video ends here.
Posted too soon. IANAL, but it seems Ms. Z escalated an assault to something much deadlier.
Maybe JK is wrong in the specifics, but watching all the usual suspects pounce is quite amusing. They file this stuff in their brains waiting for the right opportunity to GOTCHA. Which is less amusing.

Melrose Place was a documentary.
The new rule is voluntary, meaning companies don’t have to put a USA label on their meat product if they don’t want to, but it could still have a large impact on what meat Americans choose to consume.
Numerous scientific studies have shown that country of origin labeling affects consumer demand levels on food products. A 2003 study found consumers were “willing to pay an average of $184 per household annually for a mandatory country-of-origin labeling program.”
“
Scientific studies. Sure.
Bring on the Argentine beef.
Survey find consumers are willing to pay $34.86 more for certified maggotless beef.
Not mentioned in the article: how the rules change the existing labeling requirements. Some fine journalisming there.
I’m thinking stated versus revealed preferences on how much people would pay extra for a “Made in the U.S. label”, side by side in the meat section in a grocery store. A buck and a half extra for steak?
The stuff labeled from Australia is pretty good.
Was thinking the same. In fact, I’ve never seen beef labeled as specifically “from” somewhere other than the US or Australia.
“Respondents were also willing to pay an average of $1.53 and $0.70 per pound more for steak and hamburger labeled as ‘U.S. Certified Steak’ and ‘U.S. Certified Hamburger,’ which is equivalent to an increase of 38 percent and 58 percent, respectively, over the initial given price,” the study from the Western Agricultural Economics Association found.
Were they also willing to pay five bucks to see the Great Egress?
“The 36 year old victim was shot 4 times with his own gun.” Here’s how I would have wrote that sentence, but I’m not simping for the anti-gun crowd “The victim managed to take the aggressor’s gun and shoot him 4 times in what prosecutors are describing as self-defense.”
Am I being cynical to observe that this looks like total protectionist bullshit for some lobbyists?

The general trend isn’t exactly surprising.. Except that I don’t believe the Australians at all.
I’m surprised the U.S. men in that age group averaged right of center.
I don’t think our media is giving us anything approaching an accurate picture of Americans today. Sure, the diagram is probably pulled out of someone’s ass but the relative differences seem believable.
This. We’ve been subject to CIA-style psychological warfare for a long time, and that’s been ratcheted up exponentially since 2016, and even moreso since 2020. That the US would be different than what is portrayed and that we believe it to be shouldn’t be surprising. They’re trying hard. Fortunately people seem to be catching on a little bit.
“The 36-year-old victim was shot four times with his own gun. According to police sources, he was armed with a knife and gun and acting as the aggressor when he got into a dispute with a 32-year-old subway rider.”
Leave it to a journalist to confuse the meanings of victim and perpetrator.

Yup.

Contusions, lacerations, and abrasions, oh my!
The family of Nex Benedict is speaking out about the incomplete and premature medical examiner report released earlier this week, and releasing new information they have learned from the medical examiner “to ensure that other pertinent portions of the report are not overshadowed by the ‘classification’ of Nex’s death.”
In the statement from their attorney, the Benedict family says they felt compelled to release the new information to avoid allowing “incomplete accounts to take hold and spread any further.”
The vile bigoted right-wing ultra-MAGA state of Oklahoma is trying to hide something, but the truth is now coming out!
Nex, a 16-year-old 2STGNC+ (Two Spirit, transgender, gender nonconforming+) student
Uh huh… Now you’re just playing Gender Boggle.
The Benedict family statement includes direct quotes from the report it received noting trauma to Nex’s head and neck, hemorrhages, scalp lacerations, as well as lacerations and bruising on the torso and extremities.
If I picked a fight with three people and only came out with cuts scrapes, and bruises, I’d count myself lucky. But in this case those were totally the true cause of death!
This need to push a message by examining specific injuries – coming from the family no less – is a tad off-putting.
If the family (parents) was enabling Nex’s confused sexuality, perhaps they would much rather the death be about hateful bigots than drug abuse. The latter puts the family environment and parental care in more a negative light.
Schumer meddling in foreign election: it’s okay when we do it.
WaPo is braying about the immensity of Pence’s refusal to endorse the cartoon villain.
This will undoubtedly sway the votes of dozens of on-the-fence voters. Democracy hangs in the balance.
I still say there’s a greater than zero chance Trump picks Pence again.
Only because Trump doesn’t ever seem to learn from his mistakes.
Trump’s greatest error* was picking the people he had around him.
* A lot of competition for that title, I know.
It has beenpointed out to me that perhaps he didn’t have the best pool to choose from because the good ones backed away from the swamp. Not Trump. The swamp.
This. It’s was made clear that working for Trump would be career suicide, so his options were greatly reduced.

An award named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg has gone to a slate of accomplished women since it was launched four years ago to honor the legacy of the late Supreme Court justice known for championing women’s rights and liberal causes. This year is different.
Next month, the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation will present the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award to four men and Martha Stewart. Among the winners are two convicted felons, the founder of right-wing Fox News, and Elon Musk.
Stewart, Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Milken and Sylvester Stallone are the five “iconic” and “exceptional” recipients of the 2024 RBG Leadership Award, the organizing foundation said in a news release on Wednesday.

“Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff publicly raising money for relief group allegedly tied to Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel
Ella Emhoff — whose father is second gentleman Doug Emhoff — is currently posting a link to UNRWA’s English-language fundraising page on her personal Instagram.
“We urge Ms. Emhoff to go on the website of UN Watch and read our reports showing how UNRWA teachers and school principals systematically promote and encourage Jihadi terrorism and the slaughter of Jews,” said Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of the nonprofit United Nations watchdog…
UNRWA, the largest employer in Gaza, has long faced international criticism for its close ties to Hamas, which has ruled the enclave since 2006.
President Trump cut US aid to the organization in 2018 — a decision President Biden initially reversed when he took office.
Under Biden’s leadership, at least $730 million found its way to UNRWA’s coffers.”

It’s like those police guns that magically discharge all by themselves.
In an email to NPR, RBG’s son singled out two recipients in his condemnation of the new criteria.
“… that is quite a step down from the original criteria and, apparently, means people like Murdoch and Musk who are antithetical to everything Mom stood for, qualify,” Jim Ginsburg said. “Speaking only for myself, I would say that those who foment hatred and undermine democracy do not stand for the ideals of equality, respect, and engagement my mother strived to advance.”
As we all know, an unelected Supreme Court judge, appointed for life by a President, is the ultimate expression of the democratic ideal.

Worse than lynch mobs
For more than a decade, conservative plaintiffs have been gaming the judiciary by filing lawsuits before a hard-right judge who’s guaranteed to rule in their favor. Worse, a handful of Republican-appointed judges have made a habit of issuing sweeping decisions that apply nationwide—hobbling the federal government, short-circuiting the democratic process, and transferring inconceivable amounts of power into the hands of a few unelected jurists. The Judicial Conference of the United States, which makes policy for the federal courts, finally struck a blow against this cynical gamesmanship on Tuesday, announcing a new rule to restore the random assignment of cases and close the loophole that lets plaintiffs hand-pick their judges.
On the Slate Plus bonus segment of Saturday’s Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discuss the new policy and its furious reception among the fringe-right faction of the judiciary.
How can those rogue judges be permitted to disagree with the Beltway Consensus?
Meanwhile, a judge in New York can dictate property values in Florida because OMB.
