I’ll be a bit scarce; Prime and I are spending a weekend near Niagara On The Lake and I’ll have more pressing things to do than comment about the latest hilarity from Washington. Poor thing, she’s going to get the full Stooges treatment every time she blurts out the name of that infamous cataract. 50:50 she ever speaks to me again.
Birthdays today include the Skipper (who also had a small role in the greatest baseball movie ever made); one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever serve on the Supreme Court; the finest pair of legs in the 20th century; a shitty pitcher who wrote a funny damn book; a pretty damn good first baseman; a piece of shit politician– but I repeat myself; an actually interesting actress; the last Monkee; a guy who really got to the core of the issue and was on balance a truly decent human being; the dirtiest guy ever named Smiley; and a candidate for the finest pair of Khazar milkers of the 21st century.
Let’s milk the Links, while we’re here.
Shocking that a government activity is political.
I still maintain that The OMWC Plan would be better. But hey, it’s their country.
The comedy of my youth seems to have turned to reality.
I didn’t leave the ACLU, the ACLU left me. Emphasis on the “left.”
If you thought Autocorrect was bad…
But the science is totally non-political. Totally.
If you’re not from Baltimore or Pittsburgh, you’ve never heard of these guys. Which is a pity- they’re a cult in those two places but should have been internationally famous. Great prog rock. My sister informs me that they’re doing a reunion concert featuring a playthrough of their entire first album. The Old Guy regrets not being there. Oh, and this might be my favorite song of theirs- Gentle Giant meets The Cars.
I for one am shocked and offended that we are not the highest possible priority in life. I thought we had something special.
Pat will now proceed to “force” (they never elaborated on that that I could tell) Texas bar patrons to read old Jews Day Tuesday articles.

Alan Hale was in Major League?
The Sandlot.
Cav knows beisbol flics.
Although, I would have accepted Eight Men Out.
Hang ‘Em High — you thought the public executions weren’t just a metaphor for baseball?
Major League *is* the best. From before, the 80s were wild. Bob Ueker getting drunk as he broadcasts the Cleveland *INDIANS* w the owner trying to dump the team… And somehow (80s) MLB let that happen.
Much coke involved.
So wrong. So very, very wrong.
There was no coke involved?
That doesn’t seem right.
Jaws.
Damn Yankees
That’d be The Outlaw Josey Wales instead of Hang ‘Em High….
Happy birthday Warren Burger?
Happy birthday Wilbur Day?
I was guessing Betty Grable, personally.
That actress was not in Logan’s Run, so the link must be broken.
Happy birthday Ben Shapiro’s sister?
Chuck Schumer.
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
He’s not as notorious as others.
(But honestly — I’m with OMWC on this. If nothing else, getting the whole stupid “fire in a crowded theater” bullshit in the public consciousness as a supposed legal doctrine and all the attempted / perceived limits on free speech that have followed earned it for that asshole.)
Between that and the “three generations of imbeciles is enough,” he really is the Woodrow Wilson of the SC.

Too many choices.
The sage of Arlen weighs in.
Ha! So true.
I thought Trump gave Hamas a stern warning to release the remaining hostages by today.
The translation must have been bungled.
All hell was going to break loose, which apparently meant he was going to write some really bad Tweets.

assholetotally respectable gentleman was my first thought.2 years in jail for being a retarded 18 year old seems a bit steep. Financial restitution, sure. Don’t want your girlfriend showing your sex tape to randos at a bar? Don’t make a fucking sex tape on her phone, dumbass.
I’d ask “Is there any other kind?” — but now I’m worried SugarFree will proceed to educate us… and I strongly suspect I really don’t want to know.
The redundancy occurred me only after I hit “submit comment.”
“Financial restitution, sure.”
I don’t see how he is out of pocket.
“Don’t make a fucking sex tape on her phone, dumbass.”
This.
He’s claiming he has lost clients over this, which is retarded. Who gives a fuck if their diesel mechanic is fucking his girlfriend?
The religious?
Fucking your girlfriend one day, installing unnecessary parts the next. It’s a slippery slope, Hype.
I just throw mine in the rubbish bin for weekly pick up when I’m done with them, but you do you.

He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Developer sabotaged ex-employer with kill switch activated when he was let go
It’s always some person who feels like he or she is the only person holding the place together. This will show them! Pay no mind to damages, possible prison time or lack of later employability.
To be fair, his employer should probably be shot for their security practices that allowed that to happen in the first place.
Nah, there’s always McDonald’s or working the stop sign on a roadcrew.

That is one of the most consequential picks. I have the utmost respect for him. He’s 10x braver than I am.
The problem is this isn’t a one-man job, or solely a problem within the scientific community. The masses want answers and since the original priestly class isn’t up to that job, the demand just has to fall somewhere.
I’ve been an atheist since I was old enough to understand what the word meant, but as I get older I’m more and more cognizant of the important role that religion has as an outlet for practical philosophy. Also, how badly modern religion has been failing at this role.
It is clear from Trump’s picks that he is liberty’s greatest enemy in history.
I hope whoever is running the EPA now is listening.
Nominally or in actuallity?
The nominal head of the EPA is Lee Zeldin.
Whether or not he’s slain the current crop of bureaucrats is up for debate.
It’s Lee Zeldin. He is off to a good start. I’m betting Manhattan Contrarian writes about him in the near future.
I was delighted by his appointment. I followed him through covid. He is a truly decent human being.
SCC? Social Cost of Carbon?
Fuck right off with that bullshit.
I calculated it, and the result is a social good. We should bill the greenies for trying to restrict our plant food!
I haven’t thought to ask before…how much fossil fuel do carbon capture plants consume per unit of CO2 ‘captured’ (I assume the unit is 1 ton) ?
“the finest pair of legs in the 20th century”

I still hold to my guess — after all, who else had a hit ’80s song on the subject?

While we laugh at the Russian army’s inability to tame Ukraine.
If you hadn’t said which army, I probably would have guessed the US.
Apparently “fat, drunk and stupid” is the hallmark of our future.
Body fat I can see but academic? They don’t still have cooks and boatswain’s mates?
Whoops, “Army.” Maybe I need some remediation myself.
My son-in-law had to go through a weight loss program before he started basic training. He did fine though, he was a football player and he said his twice a day practices in the summer were harder than anything the Navy threw at him.
This is unfortunately our reality now, as RFK points out our country is sick.
but academic?
Think Idiocracy.
In past days, mal nutrition caused issues with inducting soldiers. Pounds can be lost at least.
Who knew that midwit teachers and school psychologists drugging up job lots of boys for acting like boys would have deleterious downstream effects?
They’re dropping out because Donald took away the free sex-changes.
ACLU – Weren’t those commie lawyers that founded it for the purpose of defending American Communist Party members? I also remember them recently publicly abandoning freedom of speech. I dont recall them ever being second amendment advocates. These are not principled people. They are communist subversives.
Even commie subversives can sometimes find themselves on the right side of an issue, but it does seem that civil rights was always a means to an end.
I despise the commercials they run.
Sally Struthers: “Please, give a moments thought to our poor Vassar graduates, who deal with the daily stress of knowing that there is, somewhere, a redneck with a differing opinion about wearing white after labor day, or an Oberlin senior seeing a set of Truck Nutz, a sorority sister in the deep south who doesn’t get to say ‘I will call your manager!’ on a daily basis…”
Pretty much. They talk about all the rights they want to protect – none of which are rights.
It is political, it always was. It is not science. The two are completely incompatible. They are mutually the kiss of death to each other.
The climate scam is still a scam.

Trust it to the Brits to engage in amoral politicking in the Mideast but I knew that situation was going to go to shit as sure as Sunday follows Saturday.
Personally, I’m kind of hoping Britain re-takes its mantle of world’s policeman and the US returns to its pre-WII, preferably pre-Wilsonian, foreign policy ethos.
Republicans dumped Taft for Eisenhower, and they’ve never looked back.
Oy! What’s all this? Mr. Putin, Get your tanks out of Mr. Zelensky’s Rose bushes this instant, or I’ll ‘ave you lot up before the magistrate!
Maybe the Euros are playing 6d chess and the plan all along was to lure in 3rd world migrants only to ship them off into the meat grinder in the East. What else to do with hordes of men of fighting age ready to inflict violence?

Good morning Glibs! We have our home tournament this weekend. We started out great last night with a win, one of the few this season. Two games today, and a championship or consolation game tomorrow.
Looking at the social medias, it doesn’t appear that more people are freaking out, it’s the same ones freaking out harder. Sigh.

Insult To Injury: Trump Changes Netflix Password And Now Zelensky Has To Get His Own Account
Oh… rats.
Actor Gene Hackman died of heart disease a full week after his wife died from hantavirus in their New Mexico hillside home, and he may not have been aware she was dead because he showed severe signs of Alzheimer’s disease, authorities revealed Friday.
Both deaths were ruled to be from natural causes, chief medical examiner Dr. Heather Jarrell said alongside state fire and health officials at a news conference.
I lost the original Tweet but someone posted:
‘That’s kind of beautiful if that’s true. She passed, he enjoyed a week of peace and quiet, then he went with her.”
Oof. Probably dehydrated in the crate, I guess.
I hope I get the chance to shuffle off to Oregon or Canada before I get that far gone.
In a closet?
I’ll be sitting on a stump in the woods, waiting for the bus.
If I lived in ‘Frisco (that’s the one they like, correct?) I would drive an old, beat to shit, Ford P71 (police pkg) Crown Victoria. I would park where I please and I would not get blocked in, at least not in any real sense that couldn’t be remedied with a little accelerator pedal adjusting. I would stencil Lexus hash marks on the fender just to emphasize this.
‘Frisco* cops still drive those.
*They hate this, but so many people in my family were born there that I have the right to piss them off with it.
Nope.
What I find odd in that story is that the obliquely referenced billionaire doesn’t seem to have on-site parking despite what appears to be a driveway in that pic.
My new tv arrived yesterday. I think I’m getting old, as I haven’t been bothered to set it up yet.

Dick Allen was a way under-rated slugger. I saw him hit one out at old Connie Mack stadium that was still rising when it cleared the wall. Racism drove him out of Philly. It’s nice to see he finally will be inducted into the Hall (posthumously) this summer.
Speaking of legs-
As I recall, Martina Navratilova in her prime had the sort of legs which could leap tall buildings in a single bound.
If that’s what you’re into, Brooks, go to Pornhub and search “Watermelon Crushing.”
You’re welcome.
She was the sort of chick men want to be and women want to be with.

Because reasons.
Private screeners didn’t anticipate box cutters being used to hijack airliners, so we should leave the job up to the agency that routinely fails to detect 80% of contraband.
Look, we are still taking off our shoes because of the idiot shoe bomber – that was stopped by passengers, not the worthless fucks at the TSA.
Just be glad they don’t make you take off your underwear after the underwear bomber guy was stopped – by passengers, not the worthless fucks at the TSA.
Heresy
Collins was just as blunt in his video address to veterans.
“It’s extraordinarily difficult for me, especially as a VA leader and your secretary, to make these types of (layoff) decisions,” Collins said. “But the federal government does not exist to employ people — it exists to serve people.”
OH
MY
GOD!
Seems to me that Vets could easily be integrated into the civilian medical market. It’s a huge duplication of facilities that already exist. I don’t use VA medicine ’cause I have Tricare. The big benefit to the VA is the no cost to vets, the same money could be transferred and still keep the no cost to vets.

I never understood why they get their own hospitals. It makes no sense at all to me.

Not content with trying to push President Trump around, a Federal Judge has decided to aim higher:

I have a pet theory – whoever is in charge of training baggers at grocery stores is deliberately training them wrong to encourage the use of self-checkouts.
I provide:
3x Bag
4x 2-liter bottle
Assorted groceries that all fit in one bag.
The guy bagging decides that the best way to pack this is to cram 3 bottles in one bag, the 4th bottle and all the groceries in the second, and not even touch the third.
(-.-)
I was professionally trained as bagger in the dark ages.
I have no idea how useful that training is the modern day of either plastic bags or now reusable “let’s spread bacteria” bags.
Let’s be realistic and suggest most baggers are either young people gaining experience or not the best and brightest. Speaking of, Hunter Biden is looking for work…
I don’t want to blame the bagger, I want to blame some nebulous conspiracy to inconvenience me specifically.
I would have assumed you of all people would be a self-checkout man, if for no other reason than avoiding the forced socialization and general incompetence.
No, self-checkouts are a massive hassle, and slower than the registers real staff use.* I can get through a regular checkout without any dialog.
* the local machines do not allow you to scan fast. It’s ‘scan now’ ‘ announce price to world’ ‘place in bagging arwa now’ ‘verifying you’ve put something there’ you may now scan next item’ ‘calling attendent because the computer dislikes you’
The baggers here lay milk jugs sideways at the bottom and stack groceries on top. Leaks of course unless I repack it.
Before real bags were banned, baggers here would also lay down 2-liter bottles. These are taller than the bags are wide, so the cap would tear out the side of the bag and dump the bottle on the floor if you picked it up without standing it up.
I would make a comment about retardation, but in my experience the mentally retarded baggers were significantly better than the non-impaired ones.

I don’t understand people who want a gallon jug that has a handle bagged.
I tried to speculate, but the gallon jugs I buy these days are winshield washer fluid, isopropyl alcohol, and detergants. These are generally not bought by me at the same time as groceries.
Milk. Why does one bag milk?
Because one is Canadian?
1/2 gallons. Full gallons go bad sooner than we can finish them.
Huh, maybe I should be a grocery bagger. Seems like it’s easy to be a star performer there.

Lost cause
The municipal union representing more than 25,000 security officers and other staff in public schools and hospitals, City University campuses and city Housing Authority complexes is endorsing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for mayor.
The endorsement of Teamsters Local 237, the largest Teamsters local anywhere, is a major coup for Cuomo, who announced his bid for City Hall on Saturday after months of speculation. The union’s nod is the first endorsement of any municipal union in the mayoral race.
Local 237 president Gregory Floyd said that the disgraced former governor — who resigned in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal — is best positioned to lead the city in the face of the legal troubles swirling around Mayor Eric Adams. The union endorsed Scott Stringer in 2021.

What is in the box in the back and what does the label say?
A mix of fermented cabbage carrot coriander and chillies that i bought as a side. They call it korean style salad though i think it is russian in origin and what the russian call korean salad.
The label says berezka which is the name of some stores herr that sell what i would call slavic products, most from euther russia or ukraine. And georgian wines which are obviously not slavic. Good place to buy caviar and vodka and smoked salmon.
A jewel-handled dagger will suffice in lieu of a gun. (Speaking of daggers, is that the tip of one on the right?)

Old Kingdom Pyramids (OKP) are remarkable for having smooth, undecorated walls.
OKP have all been looted in antiquity.
King Tutankhaten’s burial chamber contained a gilded portable shrine made up of freestanding panels.
What if the original OKP decor was on freestanding panels that could be decorated easily in workshops and assembled inside the finish structure, thus the walls were left bare as no one would see them.
No it is obvious they were built by an advanced culture before the younger dryas and egyptians did not have the ability to decorate them
Conundrum
Tesla’s valuation has become inextricably tied to Musk’s politics. After he spent $288m backing Trump’s 2024 election victory, Tesla’s valuation passed $1tn. Yet Musk’s political involvements – unprecedented for the head of a company that size – could also be having a negative effect.
On Friday, a group of Extinction Rebellion activists occupied a Tesla store in central Milan. Activists chained themselves to the cars’ tyres, and others glued themselves to the windows along with the slogans “Make millionaires pay again” and “Ecology for all, no ecofascism”.
Analysts are openly wondering if Musk is causing lasting damage to a brand he has made synonymous with electric cars and, by extension, liberal aspirations to tackle climate change.
For a rapacious moneygrubber, he seems confused about his best interests.
Shortly before the multibillionaire bought the social media platform, 22% of new vehicle buyers would have “definitely” considered buying a Tesla. By the end of 2024 it was just under 8%. The proportion who would not consider buying a Tesla has risen from 39% over the same period to 63%.
According to Strategic Vision, approximately half of non-Tesla EV buyers identify as Democrat or liberal, compared with about 20% identifying as Republican or conservative. Among Tesla owners, the Democrat owner group has fallen from 40% during the Biden administration to 29% now, with the Republican group averaging about 30% since 2021.
This market segment is predominantly populated by people who base their buying decisions on politics and social signalling. Got it.

At the age of 40, he decided to learn English using the Assimil method, conscientiously copying whole sentences in order to memorize them. Re-reading them, he began to feel that he was not learning English, rather he was discovering some astonishing truths such as the fact that there are seven days in a week, that the ceiling is up and the floor is down; things which he already knew, but which suddenly struck him as being as stupefying as they were indisputably true.
