When racism isn’t racism. Even in Australia. Maybe they really have moved on. Lol, yeah sure. Anyway, there’s nothing going on sports-wise in the US right now, except this. But the UCL knockouts started with half of the first-round knockout first legs happening yesterday. Man City choked away yet another lead at home and are now down 3-2 on aggregate to Real. PSG rolled. As did Dortmund. And Juve stole a win over PSV. The other half are today, as is a big match on Merseyside in the EPL. And that’s it for sports.
I’m sorry, but there’s not enough room for everybody who wants to be there. And you had access to the pool video. So you suffered no harm. Oh, and what’s up with all that money you got from USAID that you never disclosed in your news articles while you covered the government who gave it to you?
Dried beans, sorghum, and rice sure do spoil fast when they’re not being given away. Or maybe this report is bullshit, as usual. I’m gonna go with the latter. Let’s read further down in the piece: While the future of USAID’s funding and its purchases from U.S. farmers remains unclear, there is currently $489 million worth of food sitting “at ports, in transit, and in warehouses at risk of spoilage, unanticipated storage needs, and diversion,” the Feb. 10 USAID inspector general report said. Oh. so it really isn’t at risk of spoilage, it just might need to be moved elsewhere because there’s a lot of it. The spoilage3 claim is just the word the media are clinging to in order to make it look like it’s something it’s not. Big surprise there.
They’re not the only ones who are baffled. Let’s just hope the Supreme Court reins in its underlings soon.
This guy is really getting the left riled up. And yet they continue to defend the indefensible ineptitude of the government.
And we didn’t even need to trade an arms merchant for him. I guess different presidents have different styles of negotiation.

Crikey! What an asshole. Yet I’m somehow not surprised at all.
I’ll be quite interested to see what this turns up. Because these crooks have a lot of explaining to do.
Maybe they’ll bring back Song Of The South. That would be a big step in the right direction.

And we didn’t even need to trade an arms merchant for him. – how many arms merchants have you got left and what are you saving them for?
I’ve got a full mint condition arms merchants, I’m holding out for one of the really big Lego kits.
The Danish don’t want arms merchants. They want the west coast.
Unlike most collectibles, mine depreciated immensely when I left them sealed in plastic.

:shrug: Doesn’t seem very baffling… “Our side GOOD their side BAAAAAAD” sums up most of these rulings. Consequences? Legal precedent? Standing? Those are for chumps, man.
So the President can tear up contracts he doesn’t like even if the other party is in compliance?
Didn’t Obama’s General Motors antics establish that precedent?
Is there a contract between the USG and whomever, or are we looking at grants? Grants with Uncle usually have all sort of “we can hose you, ha ha” language. A contract would be more…binding, and probably have a damages clause.

I am not sure any kind of digital memory still works after years in a landfill
I’m not so sure about that. If 80s MTV is to be believed, electronics storage can last through almost anything.
it might work but it is certainly or guaranteed… of even very likely
“The council planning on closing the landfill so soon is quite a surprise, especially since it claimed at the High Court that closing the landfill to allow me to search would have a huge detrimental impact on the people of Newport, whilst at the same time they were planning to close the landfill anyway,”
It never ceases to amaze me how complacent judges are about (some) people lying to them.
I am sure there will be bit rot due to outside storage, and all this data will be lost like… like tears in the rain.
First he has to find it. You don’t realize how many of what you are looking for are in the same garbage. I lost a wheel and had to Wade into a swamp to find it. 5 different wheels later, I did. Same thing with a missing center rim cover that fell off. I found the same design, but for an Olds 88 and not my Aurora that had lost it near the spot where mine had been lost. And it wasn’t in a dump where that problem is only going to be compounded. I wish the guy luck, he’s going to need it.
It’s like keeping a winning lottery ticket in your pants pocket and complaining when it is ruined in the wash.
I did that with travelers checks. Fortunately there was a little residue and I was able to find enough info and got a refund on my unused checks. Whew! I needed that money too.
In a normal world, Sam Kerr would have been brought before Harry Stone and the rest of the Night Court crew, given a £50 fine for drunk and disorderly, and spent a night in the drunk tank.
But people had a culture war interest in Kerr being found not guilty.
My takeaway here is that in the eyes of the law, women appear to have no agency when they’re drunk. Men, on the other hand, do.
Lesbian too, she’s basically untouchable.
And mixed-race, IIRC.
Well, there sure seems to be a lot of racism in certain “parts” of Australia.

I have to assume partially because (like California) they’re captured by the PubSec union voting bloc, their most reliable. And partially of course because he’s tearing down their slop channels permeating the entire globe to siphon off as many spoils as they can from everyone else.

Yeah — all the wailing about “Who is going to influence other nations through bribery if we don’t!” over the last week or so has only made me think: “The Cold War is over. Been over for a long, long time. Our closest adversary is the CCP, which we’re feeding their economy [unlike the Soviet Bloc] and they have their own issues… if they want to bankrupt themselves trying to spread their wealth around, let them. Just stop feeding their wealth pile first and let them have at it. The rest of the world needs to go back to supporting itself already.”
I don’t know about the new Golden Age of America or anything — but the days when America is everyone’s Gold Card need to stop. (Sorry Pie… looks like you needed to get your billion from USAID last month.)

Well-played, sir.
That $750 million isn’t at the dump. People “with intelligence” got hold of the hard drive as soon as they saw him tossing it in the garbage.
that sounds highly unlikely who the hell knew what was on a random drive?
*Of course* it sounds highly unlikely.
What kind of Intelligence Agent makes anything he does seem likely?
His bud told him he mistakenly threw it in the trash but has been leading a secret life of wealth.
Just go through those “there will be signs” memes people make in regard to winning the lottery, and see what matches.
the strange thing about this is that it was supposedly worth like 700k when he threw it away I would be a lot more careful with that scratch
Isn’t Song of the South still available outside the US? Once again showing how the US is the racist capital of the world, since we can’t have nice things?

Yup… that was a good one.
I found out yesterday there is some sort of hockey-a-thon this week. Starts tonight – Canada vs. Sweden.
Oh yeah. Are nhl guys playing? It’s a weird time to do some exhibition tournament.
It’s all NHL guys. Replaces the All Star stuff for some reason I see mentioned.
*did not see
I don’t care about the tournament, but if they’re using real hockey rules it’s a vast improvement on the All-Star crap.
Yes, they did mention that.
It looks like they’re trying to duplicate the four (six?) nation rugby thing, but with hockey. US, Canada, Finland and Sweden. Funny thing, if they were picking countries by the proportion of foreign nationals in NHL teams, they’d have to include Russia, but you know that’s not happening.
Trump will bring them back. Then we can add Norway and Russia and make it a true six nations style thing with Norway playing the role of Argentina.

Oh, man; I *wish* some judge would try that.
Sounds like a Babylon Bee article
“Let’s just hope the Supreme Court reins in its underlings soon.”
Two problems? Issues?
(1) Time, of course. It ordinarily takes years for an appeal to get to SCOTUS.
(2) Scope. SCOTUS can overturn one of these decisions (“Yes, of course the Secretary of the Treasury can see payment information.”) but the rest are going to remain in place until SCOTUS overturns them, one at a time.
And, of course, the underlying issue that these judges are immune from consequence for their rulings.
I still think that, for every one of these rulings, Trump should request that the judge personally review and approve each line item of the actions ordered. That would mean they don’t happen until the judge says so (flipping the delay dynamic), point out the absurdity of the ruling, and immunize him from any penalty by the court (how does a court penalize somebody for asking the court’s permission?). The downside is that this tactic would appear to validate the court’s assertion of control over the executive, but it can be done under protest/reservation of rights until SCOTUS rules.
An extraordinary writ of mandamus could be filed with the SC to get these all decided quickly.
I think Donald should ignore these pissant judges and continue his constitutionally stated leadership of the executive branch. What are they gonna do? The supremes might pay attention faster that way, too.
Do the New York approach, reissue the order with a slight change of word order, scope, or effective date.
Nah, stick with the original wording – changing it would imply they were doing something wrong.
The New York approach is to impose blatantly unconstitutional stuff so they have to change the wording.
Site some old case like this one, appeal while ignoring or reissuing a slightly different EO.
https://x.com/Jake_W/status/1889558411739619463
The Supreme Court will be motivated to quickly reestablish the separation of powers before there is a total breakdown.
I think that depends on the legal argument presented. If, as I think is the strategy, they present the whole kit and kaboodle as separation of powers, in the need of deciphering what the Executive Branch is, then this could be/should be cleared up right quick.

Ah, the Junior High clique level reporting. My sole reaction.
From the Only The Govt Could Fuck Shit Up So Thoroughly Dept: Minnesoda’s new legal pot scheme is totally fucked
In a nutshell, instead of:
a) Just legalizing pot and saying we won’t put anyone in jail.
b) Or treating it like booze and letting it be regulated the same by the same bureaucracies
They
c) Wrote all sorts of new laws that gave licenses out based on “equity”. They also required a brand new state bureau to manage it all (the first gal proposed to lead it turned out to have been an illegal seller of pot for years so she was bounced). The equity rules also ran into all sorts of snags. First of all was the fact that another bill automatically expunged the records of anyone with pot convictions, so when the pot dealers tried to apply for the enhanced equity licenses they were denied because they couldn’t prove that they were convicted pot dealers (yes, it makes no sense why pot dealers get equity points). Then the inevitable lawsuits started about how govt equity rules were discriminatory.
The way it is now, only the Indian tribes can sell pot legally and they are building empires and the white eyes can’t get any legal licenses because of how shitty the roll out is.
Has there actually been a state that didn’t fuck it up with over-regulation yet?
What makes it extra crazy is that Minnesoda had a quasi-free market for thc edibles and drinks already. They could have simply said “yeah, weed too” and left it at that.
In 2022 the DFL snuck an unnoticed amendment to some bill through that said any edible or drink with less than 5 mg of thc was legal and there were no taxes on it!. They left off the taxes to sneak it through committees. The idea was that once it was noticed there would be a special session to add them later.
The GOP controlled the Senate back then and in one of their smarter moves, the leader said “no, I don’t think this needs a special session” and so we had legal edibles/drinks with no special taxes.
So we had a completely functioning legal market that wasn’t harming anyone and they had to fuck it up.
BTW, the 5mg limit was pretty much ignored. But the cops didn’t hassle anyone and no one died.
I have a good friend who gave up booze for thc drinks and is enraged now because of the cost hikes because it is now “legal” and sin taxes are applied.
it makes no sense why pot dealers get equity points – I mean they should be grandfathered in
It is all a product of the hash function in the government database.
No need to get into the weeds here.
*narrows gaze*
The equity fights for casino licenses out here are especially harsh since only one is allowed in each region.
In Minnesoda, only the tribes can operate casinos.
They have been wise with their money and have bought off the DFL completely. They have blocked any efforts to legalize online sports betting in Minnesoda for years. Don’t get me wrong, they’d agree to legalize it if they got a huge chunk of the money, but so far no one is wiling to let them wet their beak in the amount they’d like to be accustomed to.
Legalizing pot should have been so easy:
Treat it like alcohol – same licenses, same age restrictions, same penalties for violating the rules on selling/possessing alcohol illegally. Maybe not have the three tier distribution system for it, because that’s just stupid anyway.
That’s it. Done and dusted, easy-peasy.
We even used that terminology in the bill we passed here in Ohio.
Shocking no one, it’s much more regulated.
But where’s the equity in that?
You know why.
We have the exact same nonsense here. The left obviously shared notes before coming up with this stupidity. As a result, the legal pot shop near me has a bunch of sketchy people hanging around all hours of the day.
Rhy, you forgot that Not Only did New York do the racist equity crap, it gave preference to people with prior convictions for pot over people who hadn’t been street dealing and simply wanted to get into the legal dispensory business.
Sorry, I should have read Jimbo’s wall o text first
apologies.
Yeah, that’s why their sketchy buddies are hanging out all day. Or they will be when the weather gets better.

sorry for the wall of text, I get carried away on certain topics.

Uffda. I feel you. I’m in the middle of a huge refactoring of our roles/permissions stuff. The beauty of it is I am recreating the same bullshit we had but just more efficiently. When I was proposing this project, it was going to be a complete replacement using industry standards and reputable tools. Everyone got skittish because of the immense amount of work it would be. They decided to just fix a couple very egregious problems and port to a new db.
We’ll never get the piss out of the pool. Sigh.

I have US sports news…Last night, Mens Olympic basketball’s only 4 time gold medalist Kevin Durant became just the 8th player in the 75 year history of his domestic league to score 30,000 career points.
Oh, and 1956 Olympic basketball gold medalist William Russell would have turned 91 today.
WTF? Pat Mahomes Sr. played for 4 years for the Twinkies, but your stupid story says he is an ex-Met? He only played two washed up years for the Mets.
I had no idea pops played ball. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rumor is that he had a few runins with the MN cops about dwi stuff while playing with the Twinks, but was let off because he was a Big Leaguer.
Still he seemed like an OK but middling reliever when he was here.

Trump is only doing half the job. Sorry, but to be super effective, he needs to go after a couple high profile employers of illegals.
Maybe start with this guy. He seems like a real shitbag. Pile a bunch of Fed charges onto the ones that Brother Keith has and make the point to employers that cheap labor might not be so cheap.
If employers actually gave a shit about employing illegals, maybe whole “communities” of illegals would dry up faster.
Trump is already killing them, but not fast enough.
I fucking loathe these stories about the poor, poor illegals.
It’s just a fucking slap in the face to all the men – and it’s mostly men – left behind, to suck up bennies and get high all day.
I’d think that wearing a sombrero around town would get your reported faster than just about anything. I can’t believe that the good proggies in Wisconsin wouldn’t drop a dime on some dude driving past with a sombrero. Especially on Cinco De Mayo or Halloween.

Of course, if Joaquin is miserable and feels persecuted here, he could always go back.
Odd to see him pursue a path that would probably lead to fewer “undocumented” workers.
It would be a great divide and conquer strategy for Trump.
Throw the book at assholes who are truly only a step away from being a full on slave master. Let it be known that anyone who calls the Feds and rats out an exploiter will get fast tracked to citizenship (only one rat per exploiter).
The illegals would fall all over themselves to rat out employers. Employers would drop illegals because they know they can’t trust them to keep their mouths shut.
Perfect wedge issue.
I dunno, rhywun. You can’t extract protection money without at least occasionally burning down someone’s business.
The feds should go ahead and raid that place and accomplish two tasks: shutting him down and rounding up a bunch of people to send home.

I didn’t think I could despise Steve Harvey more than I did, but it just went to another level.
On his radio show, which I am lucky enough to listen to in the office, they are talking about Chris Brown and why he wasn’t at the Grammys for a Micheal Jackson tribute and how “Everyone wants him to host the Superbowl halftime show.
Steve says it’s just one more example of the “hypocrisy of white America”.
That young man made a mistake and is being punished forever, while a convicted felon can be President.
Made a mistake? He beat the brakes off of Rihanna.
I miss when I thought Steve Harvey was an average banal comedian.
I seriously didn’t know Steve Harvey was still alive.
He did a good interview with Seinfeld on comedians/cars/coffee, then his brain broke.
Lucky!
I “get” to listen to him everyday until 10 am.
It is the most insipid shit masquerading as comedy, with some racism thrown in just for fun.
Yeah, that dude went off the rails.

All I know about him is he made Family Feud unwatchable.
“Maybe they’ll bring back Song Of The South.”
My sister in law found two of those Little Golden Books versions of that story, I think from the 60’s, at a thrift store. I read one, it did not disappoint.
One of my favorite books as a kid and the first movie I saw in a theater. I believe the guy who played Uncle Remus was the first black actor to win an Academy Award. Weird that Disney memory-holed it so deep.
Another example of deleting minorities from popular culture to “protect” them.
Hattie Daniels was first black to win Oscar, for her performance as Mammy in GWTW. Of course, back in those days, she was an “actress” not an “actor” so you may be right.
I have never seen that movie. The first movie I remember seeing was Bambi when I was maybe 5 or so? Drive-in theater, I do remember that. Didn’t faze me. Maybe I was just warped from the get-go.
I remember me and my sister seeing it in the theater during the last re-release of it. I seem to recall it was released on VHS (and aired on TV as well), but I don’t think it ever got a DVD release in the US.
Parts of it are on YouTube. Basically a bunch of white kids in Reconstruction South hanging around with an old black guy who tells funny stories.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/behind-the-scenes-staff-acrimony-mirrors-public-tension-between-mayor-brandon-johnson-and-gov-jb-pritzker/ar-AA1yGRhq?ocid=BingNewsSerp
“Pritzker and his staff’s ambitions for higher office have contributed to self-importance and a hypersensitivity to criticism, some sources have said. Meanwhile, other sources have pointed to the belief that Johnson’s background in progressive organizing repels him from anything that looks like kowtowing. Combined with frequent personnel turnover, the sources claim that makes the mayor’s team disorganized and at times difficult to work with.”
If the IL GOP had any brains, they would take advantage of this discord and hatch a plan to win back some their seats in state legislature and even possibly the Governor’s seat in Springfield. But they like being the minority party with no responsibilities whatsoever.
And I also hope Pritzker runs for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2028. What the Dems really need to win is an out of touch, born with a silver spoon Progressive billionaire to help take back the White House.
JD Vance would eat this man alive because if you ever watched any of his news conferences in Illinois, Pritzker isn’t used to getting push back or challenged on his opinions.
Debate performance doesn’t matter so much these days. One columnist said Harris “wiped the floor” with Trump. Any rational person see it that way?? And, don’t forget, Fetterlump got creamed in his debate with Dr. Oz but the half of Pennsylvanians who are fools elected him anyway.
I think it does, now. Back when the only game was major media, then you were right. But now, with Rogan, the Free Press, Taibbi and ohers getting a much, much larger share of the market, and having a good reputation for trust, people have turned to them and are now getting a much better view of things.
But you still cannot get the partisans to come over, and Oz is still slimy.
ZWAK, coming at you live from your favorite Goth grandmothers river front trailer park!
The wife roped me into house sitting for her friend, who had a family emergency in Texas (is there any other reason to go there?) and could not take her two small dogs. She isn’t a grandmother, as she has no kids, but this place is like being in your high maintenance g-moms places, everything in a perfect place in the house, but appliances that don’t get used are a little sketchy, the dogs like go out to shit every five minutes, I have to cook them special food, etc.
Just fussy BS. And I hate dealing with that in my own life, just try to keep things as simple as possible.
Is there a plastic cover on the couch and chairs?
Oh, you beat me to it.
No, because that would ruin the crushed black velvet esthetics. And if there is one thing Goths need above all else, it is that!
But, in all seriousness, the only place I have seen that are on furniture owned by Portuguese families, and they always have plastic floor runners to match.

As soon as the agreement goes into effect, we’ll change the definition of fat to be over 400 pounds.
Then we will adjust the limit as needed.
“They” identify as thin. Problem solved.
Already changed the definition of chick.
That fact that 50% of Briton wants the government to nanny their dates is disturbing.
Yes, but polls…who trusts them?
These govt issued gf’s…do they come dressed in long red hooded capes?
It’s Britain. How will you know they are fat since they all wear Burquas?
It’s kind of odd that a nation that elected the Iron Lady be the Prime Minister for nearly 14 years have become such a nanny state.
They have alternated between outright tyranny and closet tyranny since the first time the sun rose. How Thatcher got elected was always a mystery to me.
Milk snatching.
That’s just a horrifying level of cultural insecurity.
I wouldn’t dream of asking the government to help me date. Saying that though, dating in today’s environment seems terrible. I’ve always told my wife that she needs to stay alive for us long as possible because for one, I and the kids love her madly, secondly, she manages everything in the household, and last because I do not want to go back out into the dating pool.
Most of my friends are married holy shit, the ones who are single always have horror stories about how dating is such a minefield because of how politics and online dating has created a difficult environment.
I tell my wife she can’t die because I’ll get hungry.
I tell my wife she can’t die, because I will move to Pittsburg.
Do all the maps now say “Gulf of America (formerly known as Gulf of Mexico)”?
No? Mine says Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)
My map still has the USSR and two Germanies on it.
Paper doesn’t get auto updates.
If your map is that old, I hope you have map handling gloves.
I thought old paper explicitly should not be handled with gloves. I call misinformation!
The archivist’s answer is – It depends.
Check for yourself.
(TL:DC – At least Google Maps changed it)
Apple Maps now does. A couple days ago, they were still using outdated terminology.
I just looked on Apple Maps. Gulf of America! Fantastic!

The Council on Governmental Relations, which monitors federal policy for major universities and medical research centers, stated that “America’s competitors will relish this self-inflicted wound,” urging the NIH to “rescind this dangerous policy before its harms are felt by Americans.”
The president and CEO of the Association of American Medical Colleges stated that the NIH policy would “diminish the nation’s research capacity, slowing scientific progress and depriving patients, families, and communities across the country of new treatments, diagnostics and preventative interventions.”
Research institutions, scientific societies, advocacy groups and lawmakers from both major political parties have pushed back against the 15% cap on indirect costs, urging NIH leadership to reconsider its policy.
These researchers are beavering away at the bleeding edge of knowledge, and those cheapskate MAGA Luddites are holding them back. Every single lab at every single university is bringing us to the realization of our Utopian fantasies.

DEADNAMING!
