The NFL season is underway, and we started with an upset when Detroit took down Kansas City. It looked like a pretty fun game, unless you were a Chiefs fan watching those receivers drop pass after pass. Anyway, a full slate of games this weekend kicks it all the way off. At the US Open, Coco Gauff overcame her opponent as well as three jackass protesters to make the final. And she will face Aryna Sabalenka, after Madison Keys just couldn’t put her away. And that’s it for sports.
Wow, this is an unexpected admission. Of course they’re still planning on forging ahead. They’ll just “look for ways to save money.” Which means they won’t do anything different and will just demand more money as needed, with congress complying.
Get a load of this pseudoscientific bullshit. This sounds like a scam for connected business owners. But on the off chance it works, it sounds like they’ll have to violate someone’s rights to do anything with the data. Also, the “You can’t put a price tag on saving a life” statement is super-cringey. And he can fuck off if he thinks we should all give up rights for some illusion of safety.
Tough shit, buddy. You want to use a GPS comms system to help you kill a bunch of people? Then you better develop your own rather than outsource it to someone who might be averse to more death and in support of negotiations.
My, how the turntables…turn. I hope she keeps this energy when her side start calling her a racist hate-monger. Because that’s coming.
That’s quite the contradiction. In fact, its completely absurd to anybody this side of the incurious Philip Bump.
I’ve heard of doubling down, but this is at a minimum tripling down. Probably even quadrupling down at this point. Also, the accusations of systemic racism are hilarious coming from an insider of the party who have run that city with an iron fist for more than half a century.
This doesn’t happen in civilized places. Had that been here, those thieves would have left the job site in black plastic bags.
Fuck Canada. If they gave a shit about people, they would’t have had banks seize the money of people who protested their bullshit vaccine mandates and wouldn’t have taken their professional licenses and the property they used to make a living. Canada can go fuck itself.
Just old school rock and roll today. The concept of that song is a bit outdated but it still rocks. And this song is an absolute gem. From start to finish it’s just a great track. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Friday and weekend, dear friends.
Everywhere I look, I see the moral case for tax evasion.
*Reports Brawndo to the IRS*
Is it tax evasion when you can clearly tell that the people stealing the products of your labor to piss away on their own criminal rackets know damn well what they are doing is immoral and corrupt?
It’s evasion, but labeling it “theft evasion” clarifies the morality.
You can’t put a price tag on saving a life
So you are willing to give away everything you have to save a stranger’s life?
I always wonder how stupid people that make an absolute statement like this think I am. Everything has a cost. Most people will demand any cost be met to save their own asses, but when it is someone else’s ass, they immediately change their mind unless they can make others bear that cost. Scarcity is reality. Misallocation of resources has consequences.
What worries me more is that there really does seem to be a sizable contingent that honestly believes that, and that no ceding of rights for safety is too far. They’d happily plug us all into the Matrix as long as they thought it would keep everyone “safe”. CS Lewis tyrants in the extreme.
I actually believe what we have is a bunch of LARPers pretending they believe things with strong convictions, demanding any price be paid for something or whatever, as long as it is not them personally that have to pay the price. Heck we just recently saw the revelations from all the sanctuary city type scumbags that made all them flowery and prosaic revelations in support of illegal immigration, claiming their city was a sanctuary city and they therefore more moral than the people complaining about the horde’s invasion and the cost/consequences, right up until the people they demanded take it in the ass started sending the illegals to their sanctuary cities for them to deal with. Now they are all bitching about it.
Progressives consistently are for sacrifices they define as noble as long as they believe other people will bear the cost. See also the reactions to the Obamacare healthcare promises ending up costing them money and their own plans, for example. It’s all gaslighting while you believe you will not actually have to pay the cost.
Balance that against “Yes, I will shut myself in my house for X years”, “I will wear ever more constricting mask(s) and look like I’m doing quality control for an Intel fab”, “I will take ever increasing number of
tiger repelling rocksboosters” — and more importantly I will also lobby for the government to force you to do it at the point of a gun.There’s a non-trivial amount of these folks who do truly believe they can be “safe” if they can just force everyone else to play along with their delusions, and they’re willing to
virtue signalmake some personal sacrifice to meet their worldview. Those lunatics in control are the ones that worry me, though I suppose the “defund the police” crowd should a bit too… they don’t seem to ever learn either.“There’s a non-trivial amount of these folks who do truly believe they can be “safe” if they can just force everyone else to play along with their delusions,”
Concur.
I am always baffled by how many people really do not see how fragile society is and that anyone that expects government to come to their aid in times of dire need is setting themselves up to get disappointed in the best of circumstances, and far worse otherwise. These tend to be the people that believe they should give up all rights for fake promises of security. And if you actually show them they are wrong in believing the idiocy they do, you will end up with a mental patient,
I’d believe that more if they didn’t constantly rationalize why it was alright for them to break the rules (“because they were being careful”) they were fining and jailing others for breaking.
I don’t know if they’re LARPing or not, but I tend to take them at their word that they are true believers. You know, quasi-religious fanatics who are in the grips of a mania and willing to do anything, to anybody, to advance their faith.
Because that’s the way they act. The fact that they can rationalize why they shouldn’t have to do X, or give up Y, doesn’t meant they aren’t quasi-religious fanatics, etc.
They are absolutely willing to heap any evil on others, demand these others pay any and all costs, and they will defend that with all their ability to progject. However, the minute they have to pay the price themselves, they will start singing a different tune.
I’m not sure what the connection is with paying the price themselves. It’s about control of others… of course they don’t want to be on the receiving end.
The reaction during Covid should have put to rest any questions about how regular everyday citizens became onboard with fascist, murderous regimes. It was very easy to imagine my colleagues and school members being not only willing but eager to put non-believers up against the wall. I think we came very close to that in 2020/2021 and extended food shortages or energy rations would have put this country into something like The Troubles at a minimum.
I agree SSD, we came dangerously close. If the death toll had actually been significant, and if there were shortages that were more serious than just an inconvenience, there would have been ditches full of bodies in a week.
I don’t think they start singing a different tune at all. They continue with the same one and ignore the hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance. So normal human behavior.
And by ignore, also include rationalizing and others
Valid point. The religious fanatics always have excuses when they don’t follow their own rules.
The bigger the demonstration of cognitive dissonance, the better the demonstration of faith in the cult.
No, willing to give away everything you have. His shit? That would be violating their own personal property rights.
The government puts a price tag on it all the time. It’s about $250k for those killed by a vaccine.
“Wow, this is an unexpected admission. Of course they’re still planning on forging ahead. They’ll just “look for ways to save money.” Which means they won’t do anything different and will just demand more money as needed, with congress complying.”
Sign of our times and all things government related. The people in these institutions – government, academia, and the legacy media – are massive idiots with over inflated opinions of their own intellect and capabilities. Reality is that they are absolute idiots and incapable of chewing gum and walking at the same time. What they are real good at is gaslighting the usual idiots that were well indoctrinated by the march of the marxist through the learning and media institutions. That and abusing power to silence and punish their political enemies. Especially the people that are vocal about the ineptitude and criminality as well as their abuses.
I know Musk isn’t perfect… but I’m so rooting for Starship to work out and beat NASA roundly across the Solar System. And for people to realize that at this point, NASA should at most be the FAA combined with a research division that hires out commercial spaceflight. It isn’t 1950 anymore (when NASA was really the FAA+DARPA after all).
I will laugh my ass off tremendously if Musk gets enough infrastructure in orbit to build an Orion type (not the stupid capsule, the real one) out of Earth’s reach and starts Belt mining to support a Mars colony. Pipe dream — because I’m sure there’s still going to be some things Earth would need to provide since terraforming Mars is unicorn land fantasy (the lack of a magnetic field limits you to domes in perpetuity I think), but a man has
got to know his limitationsthe right to dream big….“I know Musk isn’t perfect… but I’m so rooting for Starship to work out and beat NASA roundly across the Solar System.”
The government bureaucratic machine is already trying to stop that by creating handicaps for competition in the private sector at every turn. Remember them filing charges against Space X just a month or so ago for not employing illegals in an industry where any non citizen employees would be ground for espionage violation charges and pound-me-in-the-ass prison time?
Rooting for Aryna, the not-media-darling.
Ditto. ESPN’s bias against her in the semifinal versus Fernandez a few years back was nauseating.
It’s so blatant and they’re all so shameless about it – and ESPN is even worse than the Tennis Channel.
Same for me. Gauff is a good story but she’s adored by the media.
And Sabalenka is nothing but a no-nonsense competitor. She goes to play the sport and that’s it. The number of fucks she gives for the announcers and the crowd is nonexistent. And I respect that.
I knew Keys was gonna lose that match the minute Sabalenka won a service game at love toward the end of the second set. Once she got boat-raced in the tiebreaker of that set, I just about tuned out…although I ended up watching anyway.
“My, how the turntables…turn. I hope she keeps this energy when her side start calling her a racist hate-monger. Because that’s coming.”
Was talking with the ex Minnesoda girl just last week (she keeps calling) and the reason she is an ex popped up again. After she told me crime was out of control in the twin cities and her and her neighbors were all on social media complaining about the car jackings, robberies, and even the raping and pillaging, I asked her what could be the reason the city is now a third world shithole. She played dumb for a minute or so, but then got mad when I reminded her I had warned that her political proclivities had consequences that were clear to anyone not part of the cult that so many in the twin cities are members of. Her beef with me was that I somehow would say things she was told to believe were wrong only to have time prove me right.
Does seem like a perfect spot for “Shoot, Shovel and Shut Up”.
The more this crap happens (and the stupid laws they pass), the more I know I need to get the moving plan in gear and get to a state where I have a chance of boating accidents.
“Regrettably, whether you are an ardent supporter of building and investing in more high-quality neighborhood public schools or believe in ‘school choice,’ we can all agree that options for Black students, their families and entire Black communities on this city’s South and West Sides are limited,” Davis Gates wrote in a letter to CTU members. “That is precisely why CTU members have struck, organized, and worked hard to change our city.”
“Not only are our classrooms the victims of compounded racism and redlining from decades past, but they are also struggling to recover from waves of school closings and disinvestment under previous mayors,” she wrote. “Public and charter high schools in our Black and Brown neighborhoods are living and breathing examples of inequality. Nearly all lack the thriving extracurricular activities, sports programs, wraparound services or other ingredients that make for a high-quality neighborhood public school.”
Chicago spends ~$30k per student to produce surly innumerates. My own former school district (the most densely populated county in Florida) gets better results for around $11k / kid.
Chicago has a schools problem, but it’s not with “underinvestment.”
I have to assume it is “disinvestment” of the vein of “federal budget cuts” — the expected 5% increase in spending in a year was cut down to 4.7% or something.
Today in “Least Shocking News of the Day”….
Public school is to indoctrinate and keep the serfs dumb. The people claiming to love and need public school the most never send their own kids to public school for that obvious reason. But they will work real hard to deny other people that option.
Look, the public schools are good enough for your kids (but they need more money), but her kids are of a finer clay.
Maybe he could ask himself where all that money is going then.
Missing from that list, of course, is academics.
“…we can all agree that…”

Discussion over. Bye.
From the lead in — I was half expecting this for the music link. Risky of me to assume, probably.
Something something liberal mugged something.
She’s a walking meme. And of course she is blaming sentient guns.
The Powerline story on this has her full post on X. What I noticed is that she said she could hear “her neighbors screaming in outrage” during the attack.
Too bad one of those neighbors wasn’t carrying or had popped into their house and come back with a weapon to use on the attackers.
You mean the ones who call for increased law enforcement every time they are, you know, consulted on the matter? Those “Black siblings”?
The other take away I have is that I’m pretty sure her attackers were “Black Siblings”.
If her attackers had been white, you know she would have been screaming about White Supremacy and Trump Country.
Sad but true. I love current year. 🙄
Literally a case of “Tell me you were jacked by blacks without saying you were jacked by blacks.”
She’s not even black.
Of course not. But like many leftists, she sure likes using them as a prop.
She’s a POC. Close enough for government work.
Daily Ray of Sunshine
Peter Navarro convicted of contempt of Congress. The charges carry a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail. Sentencing was scheduled for Jan. 12.
The only comments from Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton was laughter.
Keep tearing down the last vestiges of equal protection under the law. Let’s see how that works out when half the country doesn’t believe they’ll get fair treatment anymore.
“That’s quite the contradiction. In fact, its completely absurd to anybody this side of the incurious Philip Bump.”
Phillip Bump is not incurious: the man is an evil liar and useful idiot used by the machine to combat the people finding out how evil and corrupt the machine is by carrying the sewage water for the machine.
And as far as the Hunter Biden investigations, cavit emptor.
This reeks of Castreaux Jr. preening.
You think the govt can’t do things efficiently? Behold!
This is about the most efficient robbing of tax payers as you can get.
The core of the story is that Minneapolis was going to tear down a building and expand its maintenance facility nearby. Of course local neighborhood “stake holders” got involved. Said it was racist, yadda, yadda to expand the maintenance facility in their neighborhood.
A deal has been made!
If you think that the $3.7 million will actually be raised privately by the neighborhood group, then I’ve got a parking spot in Minneapolis for you.
To to recap, instead of simply expanding the current facility, the taxpayers are paying at a minimum of $10M. And when they do move the facility they will be on the hook for way more.
But… services for the unhoused! Green jobs!
You monster.
A moon base would accomplish……what exactly? No thanks.
“”I don’t think anybody should question or be fearful of an artificial intelligence program….”
He should have stopped after the first three words.
The more The Ukrainians speak the more obvious it is to me that we need to get untangled from that clusterfuck. Again, I ask what will we accomplish there?
Just another ‘there are no good guys’ story.
I have zero fucks to give to the fuckwit in Mn. I will have the same number of fucks to give if it happens to her again.
Laptop: Lying liars lie. Amazing to me how so many stories about the worst president in our history (that is saying a lot) are about his crackhead son. I suppose because his fathering skills are on par with his leadership skills.
So many pervasive problems have simple solutions that pols pull out all of the stops to avoid solving.
Get rid of PubSec unions. Bam! Problem solved.
Something is off in the construction worker heist. They robbed them of their tools? If the thieves wanted tools they could have walked into any retail store in Ca and taken new ones from the shelves. Yeah…..something else going on here. First thing that pops in my head is something to do with unions?
Canada….sigh. I got nuthin’. They are getting what they voted for?
Oh well. We already have a good supply of shit-stirrers here. We dont need to import more. Maybe we should thank them.
Foghat? Given the subject I doubt that song ever got anyone between the sheets. I supposed I missed an opportunity when Gary Wright was the subject.
I should have mentioned Dream Weaver and Love is Alive. The local dance halls would play those and afterwards half of the people were gone….hooked up and off to more private accommodations.
He3 mining possibly, start at space industry given the dramatic reduction in the gravity well — so anything we could make there could be shipped to Mars or the Belt easier than lifting out of Earth’s gravity well. Not that I think NASA is going to do anything like that… but that sort of thing would be what a lunar base would be set up for, as I remember it.
Immense money laundering on one side and turgid war boners on the other if “we” includes our political class. “We the taxpayer”? Getting reamed massively. I didn’t want to start this shit in Ukraine, I sure as shit don’t want to continue it. Just reinforces that NATO is way past its sell-by date to me.
So a space Choo-choo.
Of course.
I’m really not following how “starting to build actual space infrastructure so we can support industry and colonies beyond Earth” equals “space choo choo”, but okay… I’m taking that to read “boondoggle” which maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I’m all for folks trying it — and I don’t think governments should be the ones doing it. They should get the hell out of the way and just coordinate so folks don’t run into each other. If someone wants to put together the money and ideas to try it, more power to them.
I’m very much in favor of getting off this rock and hoping some of the old ideas like “capture metallic asteroid, encase in solar furnace to melt it down, extract ores based on density” would work out to further development, so I’m not complaining about the concept.
Something is off in the construction worker heist.
California is insane. The dudes were driving a nice, fairly new car. They probably stole it. It was either unions, or some gang related retaliation against the workers.
I can believe it was a regular old mugging.
The tools will go straight to Craigslist or a pawn shop and contractors tend to carry cash.
Why not steal new ones? No guns needed, no legal penalties.
Nah, something stinks here.
Believe me, they steal used stuff all the time.
How about a storage base for radioactive waste? It should have been built in the 90s.
“A moon base would accomplish……what exactly? No thanks.”
Gonna disagree on this one, Suthen. It’s one of those “you don’t know until you try” deals, IMO.
And say, didn’t Biden’s lawyers already admit that it was his? I thought they were threatening to sue the repair guy or wanted charges brought or something And if it wasn’t Biden’s, how can he claim any kind of invasion of privacy? If the laptop wasn’t his, then whatever is on it is the property of someone else who can do with it what they want. I don’t suppose he explained how hundreds of highly personal pictures, not to mention correspondence, found their way onto someone else’s machine, did he?
Watching the NFL game last night…
Wife: Huh. NBC has a new series called The Irrational. I’ll have to check it out.
Me: So? There have been a lot of TV shows about women.
Things went downhill from there.
Well, in my experience most people do not like hearing the truth…
Yeah… my immediate thought was: “I thought ABC had The View“… of course I think my wife would have agreed with me phrased that way.
Saw the commercials and I was thinking, “That guy was on Law and Order like 20 years ago and hasn’t aged a day. WTF.”
He was recently in the Flash (CW show, not DC movie), and there were several reports about health issues which sidelined his character for a while.
Uncontrollable projectile vomiting when reading the scripts, most like.
Decorating the new house I got our first 4k tv for a room. Turn on an Amazon Prime show and was like “holy shit these people are old!” Can see every wrinkle and spec of makeup. Not sure that’s an improvement.
4k porn was a mistake
Now get a hold of a movie designed to be beautiful, like the Blade Runner sequel and be amazed.
I have one 4K TV, the other two are 1080. I like the 1080. I noticed something else – when I buy shows on Apple now if I use the 4K TV, I get upcharged $3 for the 4K version. If I buy through the 1080P TV, the price is lower for the HD version. Irritating. Watch for that with any other streaming movie you may buy from other services. Amazon may be pulling that same trick.
CWABOA
Amazon does, or did, allow to purchase/rent lower video quality. I’m still happy renting SD versions of movies.
Five points for downhill.
Ten points for hit with burrito/other food.
Mrs. Suthenboy says she wants to see it as well. I am smarter than. you are. I am gonna keep my mouth shut.
Oh fuck no. You just know that the vast majority of the scripts are going to have maladjusted conservatives for the antagonist.
White supremacist domestic terrorists, no doubt.
Wife: Huh. NBC has a new series called The Irrational. I’ll have to check it out.
Wait until you see the sequel, The Irrational √2.
Last night at beers with a buddy we somehow got on the topic of young men and their penchant for man scaping.
We decided that the dickdoo would be to cut the top of your push real short, but let the hair on your balls grow real long. We named it a pullet.
Do you also have to demand some lady that does female genitalia scaping at a specialty store do it for you cause you identify as a lady that day?
“somehow.”
I’m not going to discuss my own practices (because frankly, it isn’t any of y’all’s business!) — but just have to say, the purported trend of complete razing of the jungle for both sexes and most especially for men puzzles me. I would think it would only appeal to those truly interested in prepubescents (not just playing up a shtick to amuse us while he blows glass or whatnot). Trim I get to some extent… but honestly don’t care. I’m of the old Robin Williams line camp: “Who wants to look at that? It is like a factory film covered in fur! Keep your eyes up here!” (paraphrased since I can’t be bothered to dig it up exactly just now).
I don’t get it either: I like some wool on a woman.
Nun ya’ also but cant resist.
One night Mrs. Suthenboy and I were out with her buddies having margaritas. I am the DD so no drinking for me. I am sitting silently when all of a sudden I made some Bill the Cat noises, reached into the back of my throat and pulled out a hair. A pube no less. I stood up, held the hair up to the lamp, looked at it closely and said….”Well, I’ll be damned. Look at that.”
The only face that didn’t turn red was Mrs. Suthenboy’s. She smiled broadly while the others blushed and clutched their pearls, barely suppressing laughter.
*Her friends are all women, all single and envious as hell of Mrs. Suthenboy. That only made it worse.
What is manscaping?
Pronounce it the French way, poo-lay. It sounds much classier.
“If we can put something in the place that we can advertise about – that can scare people from coming to Ocean City and coming to any of our schools, and we can push evil off to another day – that’s what I think is our responsibility to do for our kids every day,” Prettyman said.
Armed security. Harden your soft targets.

My company is examining how many full-time WFH jobs can/should be done from Bangalore.
Other companies just have their employees self-terminate:
https://nypost.com/2023/09/07/grindr-loses-half-its-workforce-over-return-to-office-mandate/
Also: I wonder what the office culture is like at Grindr? Gloryholes in the bathroom? I can’t imagine they could have a “no porn in the workplace” policy. What fraction of ther workforce are dudes, and if there are any females, what fraction of those are into yaoi?
Porn shmorn. I wonder what their workplace relationships and sexual harassment policies are like. You know there got to have been at least one incident.
“Dude, you won’t let me jerk off into your high heel pumps? HOW DARE YOU! HR, we need HR!”
As far as software goes, Grindr is a sick, sad, joke. Bugs aren’t so much fixed as shuffled around. Their time-tracking services are shit. They have clearly never heard of state machines or even flow of control. It provides a service, but provides it about as poorly as possible. They keep pushing out new releases, but nothing ever improves.
The reason we have so many taboos regarding sex is to keep it interesting. Over exposure to porn just dulls people’s interest rather quickly.
The sex/dating sites office atmosphere is probably pretty dull. I bet the turnover is high.
Apparently the corporate culture at Playboy when Hef was still in charge was exactly like you’d expect.
“My company is examining how many full-time WFH jobs can/should be done from Bangalore.”
Huh. Who could have predicted that, once an employee is just a face on a screen and it doesn’t matter where they are, they could be replaced by a cheaper face on a screen.
Who could have predicted that, once an employee is just a face

I don’t recommend Bangalore myself.
Hunter Biden still denies infamous laptop is his but says he was ’embarrassed’ by its photos of him using drugs and partying nude
0_o
I didn’t see him deny it. Is that new?
I saw him say “I don’t know. Maybe. Could be.”
The warning comes as lawmakers in Texas and several other states have pushed an unprecedented number of anti-LGBTQ bills into law.
So you are saying that the alphabet people’s agenda is to abuse children.
Which amendment covers banging kids I wonder because they sure do seem to think it’s a constitutional right.
Let’s ask our media.
I always suspected Kelce and Mahomes were pretty much the only ball-movers on the team.
I suppose they can’t all be tight ends.
Mahomes looked pretty lost without having the security blanket of Kelce last night.
Browns Lions Superbowl?
Not so adorable today.
bet 100 bucks on that the odds should be good
I’ve got $20 down on that, if it hits, I’ll be up ~$4,000. I’ve already told my local friends that if it happens, I’ll bring the beer for the Superbowl party.
Bring it in Bud Light boxes.
If the Browns make it to the Superbowl I expect Cleveland to burn down.
I would say the same about Detroit, but who would know the difference?
Maybe East Cleveland, but I think CLE proper will be fine. Although it would rival St. Patrick’s Day crowds. Right now us Browns fans are in the optimistic part of the season still. We’ll see how long that lasts come Sunday.
And just a reminder as to how much good will Bud Light has burned away… from the long ago times of 2018
Kelce was a beast with Mahomes. Hated him so much in the bills-chiefs games. He was always clutch on third and long when I thought we had finally seen the end of your offense on the field.
I’ve been wondering for the past couple of years how one person (Kelce or Mahomes, or even Brady and Gronk, whoever) can be that consistently good at what he does. This isn’t an idle speculation or relegated to just football. I want to know what’s going on with those people that other people lack. Dedication? No, I don’t think so. Other people are just as dedicated; they go to work, do their jobs, reach for more. They’re objectively just not as good for the same amount of work put in.
There’s a reason the Giants let Kadarius Toney go.
One wonders why the Chiefs picked him up.

So, are we just not doing “phrasing” any more, or what?
Today in weird youtube recommends
What Teaching English in Japan is REALLY like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afZJlrjHpEI
Are many English teacher in Japan as cute as the eyetalian chick?
Dang I was expecting some lady to be abused in class by a bunch of horny dudes and all the interesting parts to be pixelated…
What a let down.
I’d take remedial English lessons from her.
Mama mia!
There was that one dude (can’t remember his nom de net) that used to write about that, and about getting kanchoed.
He coined the term “Gaijin Smash.”
I’ve seen her before on the Takashi show…hominahominahomina.
So it looks like the DNC is very busy rigging the primaries.
According to RFK, if he sets foot in Iowa or NH then any votes cast for him will be automatically counted as for Biden.
https://twitter.com/theblaze/status/1699969991771144366
We saw democrats do this move to rig their primary elections more than a decade ago to get rid of Bernie. Anyone surprised they would then move up to rig the real elections in their favor as well?
I mean, once you justify cheating in any way, you will always have reasons to cheat. Especially when you have to save “Muh democracy!” (fuck you, we are a republic) from the evil Hitler orange man bad guy…..
“we are a republic”
Not for a very long time. Arguably, since the Civil War. Definitely, since direct election of Senators.
We have a king?
Sure you want to argue it isn’t a confederation, I’d agree.
Not a monarchy, at the moment. More of a mandarinate. Certainly not a republic or even a legitimate democracy.
The ratchet only goes one way. They called GWB “literally Hitler”. Then they did the same thing with ROMNEY of all people. If Trump were to drop out, the next Republican would be even MORE dangerous somehow.
What a great comedy skit that would make for SNL. Adolph and Eva sitting around in Hell, watching and commenting as the media characterize one milksop Republican after another as “literally Hitler.”
One of those Hitler in the bunker voiceovers on this topic would be epic.
That would require SNL to poke fun at both sides and to be funny.

I blame Warty. He used to recommend existential comics
Actually for people that not only read Marx’s drivel, but understood what he was saying, Karl Marx hoped humans would be dumb enough to not realize his whole agenda was a means to topple the current feudal system and replace it with new and more evil feudal lords (and he would be one of those feudal lords cause he was smarter than everyone else or something).
topple the current feudal system and replace it with new and more evil feudal lords – this is what Bakunin used to say.
Pearls were clutched.
Presidential Libraries for multiple former U.S. Presidents have written a joint statement for the first time to warn about the state of American democracy.
The statement is co-signed by libraries for past presidents, including Barack Obama, George W.

“Americans have a strong interest in supporting democratic movements and respect for human rights around the world because free societies elsewhere contribute to our own security and prosperity here at home,” the statement reads. “But that interest is undermined when others see our own house in disarray.”
“The world will not wait for us to address our problems, so we must both continue to strive toward a more perfect union and help those abroad looking for U.S. leadership,” it continues before calling on “Our elected officials must lead by example and govern effectively in ways that deliver for the American people. This, in turn, will help to restore trust in public service.”

Yeah — the bus station claimed the problems were tranist-ory.

“Is the Ozempic craze pushing up the cost of health insurance? Employer-sponsored plans to undergo biggest increase in a decade – thanks to demand for expensive obesity drugs”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-12493295/Ozempic-insurance-premiums-rise.html
OFFS!!
Think American ! Sue the junk food companies for the ozempic money!
I am now convinced this shit is secretly peddled by the psychiatric industry in the hopes of creating a ton of future customers.
If the stuff really works it seems like they’d save money on the back end from less diabetes.
‘If the stuff really works’
knowing our medical system, that is a pretty big ‘if’.
Define “works”. To my understanding, Ozempic and others in that class (GLP-1 agonists) work for fat lose by slowing down digestion and reducing appetite. However, they also tend to increase insulin production, which being a storage hormone among other functions, seems to counter the potential for fat loss. To say nothing of the impact of increasing insulin in someone who is in all likelyhood already insulin resistant. You may see markers like fasting blood glucose drop, but that’s not really ‘good’ – it’s a ‘treatment’ of a symptom and actually makes the underlying problem worse/harder to detect given how we diagnose diabetes.
Given how it apparently works to reduce obesity, it will invariably lead to lean mass loss as well as fat loss. In fact, given the mechanisms of action, I’d suspect that it likely is more adept at reducing lean mass and only ‘reluctantly’ reducing fat mass.
It seems like, once again, it’s a case of defining downstream symptoms as the problem and addressing those, not the underlying issues. In the long run, people who use these products will be worse off. You will lose the fat mass as long as you torture yourself with the side effects, but you’ll also lose lean mass, increase your insulin production, and there will be no change to the constitution of the diet which is what led to the problems you are facing in the first place – i.e. you’ll probably keep eating garbage, just less of it. As soon as you stop taking it, you’re still going to eat crap and get fat again, but you have the added benefit of reduced lean mass, increased insulin resistance and a disregulated metabolic system.
Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary was hit with a pie by environmental activists during a press conference in Brussels.
The activists can be heard shouting “stop the pollution” before throwing the cake at O’Leary

I agree. Poor people should not be able to fly on vacation, crowding up the good spots with their poorness
Wait… pie or cake? Or was it a pake?
Surely card-carrying environmentalists never fly anyway. All those college kids in Cancun for spring break swam there rather than pollute Gaia with emissions from fossil fuels.
“This doesn’t happen in civilized places. Had that been here, those thieves would have left the job site in black plastic bags.”

https://www.thedrive.com/news/bmw-is-giving-up-on-heated-seat-subscriptions-because-people-hated-them
What?
A subscription service required to cut on your heated seats that you actually did pay for no matter what this guy says? GFY BMW.
Well….ya’ know….they did buy a BMW.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAlTOfl9F2w
I think I am completely black pilled this morning.
How is this any different than requiring a subscription to activate the satellite radio, where the hardware is already installed in the car?
I don’t like subscription services, but if that’s the deal when you buy it, that’s the deal. If I was running BMW, I would probably say “OK, fine, nobody wants to pay a subscription for heated seats, we won’t charge one. Of course, the seats stay off, since you never paid for heated seats.”
I don’t get the logic behind repeat payments for a one-time build.
It’s like subscribing to “brakes” or “windshield wipers”.
Your examples are wearing parts that get replaced regularly. It’s more like subscribing to “Roof” and “Seatbelts”
Yeah
You can still use your radio/stereo/cd/etc. I think it’s different than a satellite radio subscription.
“How is this any different than requiring a subscription to activate the satellite radio, where the hardware is already installed in the car?”
That’s a service, not a function. Sirius or whoever need money in order produce content.
Anyway, I can see this getting out of hand. “You can use the stove, but the oven costs $20/month”
I guess my beef is mostly that was the deal when they bought the car, and now they’re bitching about it. It’s like complaining that the electric company turned off the power to your apartment when you rented it utilities-not-included, and never paid the bill.
I don’t like subscription dealios like that either, but I also don’t like people who whine about getting exactly what they paid for and trying to alter the deal post facto.
There’s probably a good chance that heated seats subscription was buried somewhere in an agreement or the owner’s manual, and not actually a talking point in the literature, at point of sale, etc. I doubt the salesman says, “Let me go down the laundry list of tech gizmos in this car that all you rich fucks like …….. It does have heated seats but you have to pay for them monthly.”
which was actually not true
Sounds like it is.
A stronger case for the nationalization of Starlinks has never been made. Elon Musk who imposed his services on Ukraine to gain profit cannot own a crucial communication system such as Starlink. He is plugging and unplugging it depending on what his curator from Putin’s administration, perhaps Putin himself, is telling him, covering his crimes with a fig leaf of empty verbiage. He also did talk to Putin who evidently scared him shitless, and he lied about it denying he talked to Putin. Elon Musk is a danger to national security. Nationalize Starlink.

WTF is “NAFO”?
And to think, there are serious people seriously claiming this is a serious goal.
It’s yet another disinformation agency posing as an anti disinformation agency:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAFO_(group)
What. A. Moron.
“A nonprofit that purports to “cut off disinformation at the source” is trying to financially starve into nonexistence Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, by trying to cut off the platform’s advertising revenue.
The group, the Check My Ads Institute, is attempting the shutter the platform by getting its certification by an ad industry group yanked.
The group, spun off in late 2021 from a shuttered for-profit consultancy that itself lasted less than three years, is best known for naming and shaming brands whose advertisements appear on disfavored conservative websites and TV programs.
It has taken credit for sending Warby Parker, Nissan and Lululemon among others fleeing from the Daily Wire, Steve Bannon, Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk, and kicked off an ongoing campaign against Fox News last summer for “promot[ing] the January 6th insurrection.”
Cofounder Nandini Jammi disclosed last month she filed a complaint with the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG), whose leadership council includes Amazon, Disney, Google, Meta and Spotify, to strip X of its TAG Brand Safety Certified designation.
X says it first earned the designation in 2020 and got it renewed in March, when Jammi says “the platform swelled with neo-Nazis and child abuse.””
https://justthenews.com/accountability/cancel-culture/spaceboi-going-sue-us-disinfo-cop-targeting-musk-ads-laughs
Wonder what Jammi has to say about the Azov Batallion…
Something tells me Jammi is a lying piece of shit.
She’s Indian born, probably higher caste, and definitely a fucking commie.
Because Meta is definitely not replete with child abuse at all.
Those members part of that TAG are like Syria, China and Suadi Arabia on the human rights council
“Jammi says ‘the platform swelled with neo-Nazis and child abuse.’ ”
Senator Scott Wiener, for example.
I seem to recall Musk shutting down a bunch of pedos on X not long after he took over.
Weirdly, a number of them were antifa.

Did you notice how the wording was set up? “Always acceptable” == “always acceptable to shout down someone who says something I don’t like,” but anyone looking at that at a glance would think “Speech is always acceptable.” They set up the most clumsy way to say that.
but anyone looking at that at a glance would think “Speech is always acceptable.” – I am not convinced of this
Jews and atheists are hardly distinguishable anymore.
And any agnostic that believes in shouting down speech obviously doesn’t understand what agnostic actually means
Hypothesis: The more likely speakers from a group will be censored, the fewer members of that group think censoring speakers is a good idea.
The only surprise to me is that I would have expected better from agnostics. Otherwise, absolutely no surprise.

Golden boy no more
When Elon Musk posted a personally crafted 280-character “peace plan” for the war in Ukraine last October, a Ukrainian diplomat offered a carefully considered review. It ran to a full two words: “Fuck off”. This week’s allegations that Musk shut down his Starlink system (on which the comms-shattered Ukraine relies to defend itself against Russia) right in the middle of a counteroffensive last year – apparently deliberately to neuter it – forces a new question. When he does finally make it there in his big space rocket, will even Mars be far enough for Elon Musk to fuck off to?
For now, it’s time to take another turn around the block with Phoney Stark, as Musk’s biographer Walter Isaacson reveals that the edgelord magnate (and edgelord magnet) ordered his engineers to switch off the Starlink satellite communications network during a surprise attack on the Russian fleet in the Crimea last year. Or to “disrupt” the attack, as CNN puts it, still clinging embarrassingly to the preferred Silicon Valley argot that surely ought to have been discredited once its boy kings started becoming more powerful than many of the world’s actual countries. I can’t help feeling that the benefit-of-the-doubt era with these guys ought to have officially ended back when Y2K fashion was just fashion. Yet until very recently, Musk was still being breathlessly judged a net good to humanity, what with his electric cars and his hyperloops and the fact he once smoked a joint on a podcast. So! Very! Cool! Elon was endlessly covered by the media as a kind of fascinating, eccentric inventor, as opposed to someone with a vast amount of power who should be held to account accordingly. Just as it was with Mark Zuckerberg before him, by the time people realised a lot of what was happening, it was rather too late.
Clap him in irons. Lock him in the Tower. Seize his chattel and estates.
He was providing it for free for fuck’s sake. If you don’t march in lockstep with these assholes on literally every issue they want you ruined/dead.
From the CNN story:
“Musk did not respond to CNN’s request for comment before publication. But he did respond to the Isaacson book excerpt late Thursday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter that he owns, by asserting that the Starlink service provided by his company SpaceX was never active over Crimea and that the Ukrainian government made an “emergency request” to him to turn on service.
“There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol,” Musk posted on X, the platform formally known as Twitter that he owns. Sevastopol is a port city in Crimea. “The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor. If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.”
He committed the same capital sin as Trump: the sin of exposing the left and the left-saturated unelected and unaccountable government bureaucracy for the corrupt and evil entity they are while they pretend to be the good guys.
Maybe Ukraine needs to learn that they need to come to the negotiation table and have realistic demands.
Of course they could have started by not shelling their own citizens for years before Russia felt the need to intervene on behalf of the ethnic Russians in the eastern part of the country.
“Responsibility to protect” as a justification to commit acts of war in a foreign country is just as obnoxious when the Russians do it as when we do it. And that’s not even counting what Russia did sub rosa to stir up ethnic conflict in Donbas and Crimea.
Getting involved in any way I n that conflict is dumber than wrestling a hog and leads to the same result.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
OMG people who are against escalating a war and instead want to negotiate for peace are THE WORST.
Only fascists don’t want to keep the war going!
And only fascists want freedom of speech, low taxes, small government and an armed citizenry.
Fascists for Freedom!
Fuck the Guardian, to Hell with that cunt. He was held at gunpoint to provide the service free, by the government.
I never expected in my middle age that the left would go apeshit over a plutocrat not being warmongery enough for their tastes yet here we are.
So he suggested a peace plan, and shut off a system he had provided for defensive capabilities only because it was being used to attack another country. Gee, what an asshole.

Some bakers (possibly even most) don’t know the difference between carrot cake and spice cake with a trace of grated carrots. Carrot cake should be sweet and moist and carrot-y. This thing I bought on a whim yesterday is none of those things. Sad.
The icing’s not bad.
I personally don’t like carrot cake, and I don’t particularly like cream cheese frosting.
I also don’t like red velvet cake, except for one my roommate made where it was incredibly moist and had a cooked icing. I could not re-create what I remembered, but maybe that was a fault of my cooking or maybe that was a fault of my memory.

In the bowels of the West Wing, there’s a highly secure space where former President Barack Obama sat with his top advisers and watched in real time as U.S. special forces raided a compound in Pakistan and killed Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader who planned the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
The area is known as the Situation Room, and over the past year, it has been overhauled and upgraded with more than $50 million in improvements to security and capabilities, and is ready to reopen for operations.
Literally everything was torn out from the conference room, the command center called the “watch floor” that supports it, and smaller rooms around them. The renovation extended five feet underneath the space, said Marc Gustafson, senior director for the White House Situation Room.
Not many people have seen the new space, but Gustafson said people who have got a glimpse have said, “‘Wow, this looks like the movies now.'”
I hope they contracted it to a bunch of Disney set designers/
Here’s one movie take on the situation room: https://youtu.be/P4GKK1UZhVs?si=geE-UdBTW-9DaTn1&t=228
Wait just a minute. Are you telling me Obama was secure in the White House when Bin Laden was taken down? I got the impression somewhere that he was in full battle rattle on site and personally put a slug between Bin Landen’s eyes. Next you’ll tell me Harry Truman wasn’t the pilot on the “Enola Gay.”

Good essay on the reality of opposition.
“Through an occupation of a forested public area south of Atlanta lasting nearly two years, members of the group cut the safety rope of an arborist, torched millions of dollars of construction equipment, held a civilian at gunpoint, set up potentially deadly booby traps, hurled firebombs at responding police and engaged in other acts of violence….
With roots going back to George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020, the “Defend the Atlanta Forest” movement has attracted far-left radicals made up of anarchists, communists and eco-extremists dedicated to the goal of abolishing police, private property and the state. With extensive social media accounts, nonprofit crowdfunding, leftist “influencers” and a blog, the group has been able to recruit far beyond the Atlanta area, leading to escalating violence that has turned deadly….
In January this year, Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, of Tallahassee, Fla. shot and severely injured a Georgia State Patrol trooper at the group’s so-called “autonomous zone” occupation south of Atlanta before being killed by police. As revenge for Teran’s death, who was instantly hailed a martyr by the group’s supporters, a series of escalating attacks occurred in the following months, including an organized “Night of Rage” riot in downtown Atlanta, solidarity attacks in multiple other states and militants traveling to the home of an officer accused of shooting Teran.
Many of the suspects have extensive ties to Antifa and dozens of Antifa accounts on social media have called for solidarity attacks after their comrades were charged with domestic terrorism and other crimes over the past 10 months.”

The California State Assembly has voted to officially recognize August as “Transgender History Month,” beginning in 2024. The resolution, which passed on Wednesday, makes California the first state in the United States to have a month that officially recognizes the history and contributions of transgender people.
Assemblymember Matt Haney (D-San Francisco), the bill’s author, said, “I couldn’t be more proud to have introduced legislation that will designate August as the first statewide Transgender History month in the nation.”
He continued, “I believe that as Californians our strongest defense against the anti-trans agenda is just to tell the truth. Let’s tell the truth about transgender people’s lives, and let’s lift up the history of the transgender Californians who left their mark on our great state.”
The actual truth is that trans is not real.
Well, T is vastly more important than LGB, obvs.

“We didn’t get to vote on whether gas powered cars would be banned, we didn’t vote for vaccine mandates, we didn’t vote for lockdowns, we didn’t vote for banning of meat.

“A court document filed on Tuesday has revealed that Department of Justice prosecutors are seeking a 120-day sentence for InfoWars host Owen Shroyer, who did not enter the Capitol building on January 6, 2021.
The Biden DOJ claimed that Shroyer “spread election disinformation paired with violent rhetoric” to viewers in the months leading up to January 6, and that on the day, “Shroyer took to a megaphone before leading a crowd to the Capitol” and said “The Democrats are posing as communists, but we know what they really are: they’re just tyrants, they’re tyrants. And so today, on January 6, we declare death to tyranny! Death to tyrants!”
“Shroyer did not stop at the sight of tear gas or sounds of explosions on the west side of the Capitol. He continued marching around to the top of the east steps chanting ‘1776!,’ where rioters would eventually violently breach the Capitol and its police line and halt the transfer of presidential power,” the court document states.
“Shroyer did not step foot inside the Capitol, he did not need to; many of those who listened to him did instead. In the aftermath, he has blamed ‘Antifa’ and told his followers: ‘We should have been proud of what happened.'”
The DOJ claimed that Shroyer “helped create January 6,” in that he “stoked the flames of a potential disruption of the certification vote by streaming disinformation about alleged voter fraud and a stolen election to thousands, perhaps millions, of viewers of his program on InfoWars.””

The special grand jury in Fulton County investigating the 2020 presidential election in Georgia recommended charges against Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and former GOP Sens.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis did not charge the lawmakers when she returned an indictment last month against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants in the sprawling racketeering case. It was up to the district attorney to decide how closely to stick to the special grand jury’s recommendations.
See? She didn’t indict the statist Rs so the other ones are clearly not political.

I watched the second half of that game last night.

So the accountability report about NASAs wetdream drops and the FAA decides to ground SpaceX.
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/08/faa-starship-grounded-corrective-action.html
Not relating to the launch of the vehicle this bit caught my eye considering our FedGov is claiming Musk is practicing illegal hiring practices.
Aren’t they also in trouble for not hiring illegal aliens and giving them access to that sensitive information?
That’s why that last part is so ironic. We the public cannot see the report but Musk must hire illegals so they can see the sensitive data. So tiresome.
China paid good money to the big guy and others for that access, now they want some results.
Because SpaceX wasn’t going to correct items leading to catastrophic failure.
Useless as tits on a boar.
This all coming from the same FAA that signed off on the MAX. He should just launch and take the fine.
Yep. This is really good news in a way, because now they finally have a definitive list of things to address, many of which have already been done.
It’s pretty funny that it took four months for the government to produce a list, while SpaceX took the same amount of time to repair all the damage from the previous launch, add a complete steel plate and water deluge system, massively upgrade the tank farm, and make over 1000 changes to the booster, including an upgraded flight termination system, electric thrust controls to prevent the cascading engine shutdowns that happened in the last test, and an entirely new hot staging capability (meaning the Starship engines fire while still attached to the booster for additional power).

Wow, talk about a 180 for the Indian lady from Mpls. Her in 2020: We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me.
DISMANTLE […] The […] Minneapolis […] Police […] Department
Her in 2023: “Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. These criminals will not win. We need to take back our city. And this will not be the last you hear from me about this.”
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
