It’s kind of psychedelic if you roll over the Hat and Hair picture on the front page. Hat keeps changing color. Dull, bright. Dull, bright. I am enjoying this odd glitch.
On the dead thread, someone mentioned the Rekieta Law thing. Viva Frei and Robert Barnes had a show yesterday where they went over all the 4th and 5th amendment violations that were done to arrest Nick.
He was arrested, apparently, on third-hand information gathered by a cop that Nick had been criticizing. The warrant was signed by a judge that Nick had been criticizing. The person that reported to the cop was Nick’s pastor, who was feeling agitation that Nick would get up and leave church during his sermons. There was supposedly a video of Nick getting up from a livestream to use the bathroom, then returned 45 minutes later with white powder on his nose. Frei said he watched the video, and couldn’t see any powder, and that the video was not submitted as evidence in support of a warrant.
Part of the reporting was that his kids smelled bad, and complained of being hungry. This was reported by a preschool teacher. Nick’s kids’ ages range from 6 to 16, so it’s doubtful that they would have been going to preschool.

Reiketa is kind of a dick high on his own minor amount of fame. So while I wouldn’t applaud him getting his, I’m not terribly upset by the news. Fuck that guy.

That is a retarded response to someone (anyone) getting (il)legally fucked over. I don’t follow him at all, so I don’t have an opinion of the guy, but I wouldn’t want the cops or courts abusing their authority to ‘get at’ anyone. Especially just for being rude.

I watched several and they seemed to think Barnes, who is apparently on a banning spree against people who disagree with him on the situation, is off base on this one and that the search warrant is pretty solid and that they’ve got Rekeita more or less dead to rights. Rekeita’s a dick but that’s not illegal but it does look like there’s actual illegal stuff (standard disclaimer: drugs shouldn’t be illegal) going on. It does sound like the child endangerment was the predicate for the whole thing though.
Some things I picked up from the NY Trump Hush Money Extravaganza:
The judge needs to stop it, and get some help.
Trump’s lawyers were talking with each other excitedly near the end of today’s jury deliberations. One of them was smiling. At another time, a different Trump lawyer was also sporting a “tight smile”.
The prosecution team seemed anxious or agitated or something.
One juror reportedly reads Truth Social, and may be a Trump supporter, who will force a mistrial. His face “lit up” when J.D. Vance entered the courtroom.

I would bet a fair amount of my own money there is no way he gets acquitted. Hung jury is the best case scenario. Which means he stays under indictment until the charges are dismissed (hah!) or the next trial.
This is the by far the stupidest trial against Trump. I haven’t even bothered to keep up with it, but I’d imagine the prosecution has only continued to embarrass themselves.

They are not embarrassed because scum like that has no shame. This is not a trial. It is a show trial in the hallowed tradition of Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Castro’s Cuba, etc.
As far as I am concerned until every one of those fucks is no longer practicing law, preferably in a jail cell,
any pronouncement coming out of the courts in general holds about as much weight as a flea’s fart.

From the toxic masculinity files, Corpsman Willis at Iwo Jima:
“during a savage hand-to-hand enemy counterattack, daringly advanced to the extreme front lines under mortar and sniper fire to aid a marine lying wounded in a shell hole. Completely unmindful of his own danger as the Japanese intensified their attack, Willis calmly continued to administer blood plasma to his patient, promptly returning the first hostile grenade which landed in the shell hole while he was working and hurling back seven more in quick succession before the ninth one exploded in his hand and instantly killed him.”
I’m okay I guess. Forgot to turn on the AC in the bedroom, so I sweated way too much overnight. Might as well take that as an excuse to throw the pillowcases and such in the laundry.

I think it will be good. At the very least, getting my computer moved so I can start working in there helps motivate me to lug the rest of my stuff over. (It’s right next to my old office.) Also, this office has more storage, so with any luck I’ll have to do less purging.
The trickiest bit is that it’s kind of a three-way move – the office I’m moving into was my boss’s old office. He moved into the CEO office, and the new CFO (whoever it turns out to be) will be in my old office. Thus, I’m helping deal some of the now-retired CEO’s old files, trying to figure out what to keep and what to shred, and we’re trying to decide which of my boss’s old files should go into the new CFO’s office (my old office.) Moving always sucks anyway, and this game of musical chairs is kinda making my brain hurt.
I often do laundry when working from home. It doesn’t take much attention.
Also, I have a solution to your paperwork questions – BONFIRE!

Locally we’ve narrowly avoided increases lately.
It will come to a head soon because the teachers will probably go on strike this coming year. (They’re doing ‘negotiations’)
Seems like a lot of money gets spent on frivolous things and the teacher pay here is legitimately not great. Of course, their total classroom time isn’t that high either…
I suppose they could have been less transparent, but they did give a breakdown of how the proposed increase would be spent.

Happy Belated Birthday, ‘patzie! 😃🥳💃👯♀️🎉🎊🎈🎂 So sorry about the SNAFUs you had to deal with, but cheesecake makes everything better! 😋
As it happens, on Tuesday my supposedly-vacationing boss had me searching the old CEO’s office looking for some particularly juicy tidbits about a couple of our managers (one a “senior” manager.) Couldn’t find them, given the quality of the old CEO’s filing habits. (Instructions for how to notify local TV stations if we’re closing or delaying opening due to weather were in a file labeled “2014 Budget.” 🙄) Fortunately, boss says he got the info he needed elsewhere, and apparently there will be some Serious Meetings on the matter midday today, after which I’ll probably have to circulate a couple of Separation Checklists after the fireworks fizzle out.
Oh, oh, G’patzer, you’re gaining on me. Temporarily anyway.

What is the point of the filters if they do NOTHING!?
My existing travel laptop is starting to falter, so I’m browsing potential replacements. I know I’m a memory hog, so I set the filter to only the largest options, and it still shows me models with a paltry 8GB RAM. That’s fucking worthless.
Related, anyone have a recommendation for a travel internet machine – I plan to install linux on whatever I get. I want a lot of RAM and would prefer more than two USB ports.
I don’t know how true this is today, but burger-flippers at McDonalds used to earn a higher wage than cooks at Burger King, because working at McDonald’s required higher skill. You had to cook a dozen or so burgers at the same time at McDonald’s while Burger King had that little track that rolled over the fire, so there wasn’t the time crunch. You could “have it your way” at Burger kIng because they had time to put whatever toppings you wanted.
