¡Martes por la tarde, enlaces mexicanos!

by | Jan 16, 2024 | Daily Links | 143 comments

One of the more entertaining I came across this weekend aside from my oldest taking an interest in, and binge watching Forged in Fire for the past three days, is this AI.  You give it a set up, and it responds back with three possible punchlines.

Some of these are actually pretty vicious and dare I say, funny.  This is one of the few family friendly responses.

 

¡Enlaces!

This is probably going to be the last time I link this site.  Its not just the obvious lie here.  Its the fluff piece on Mexico’s dark-horse candidate for presidenté that happens to be the son of no-shit communists that sealed the deal for me.

This shouldn’t surprise you.  My uncle once said he doesn’t like going to Mexico, on account of there being too many Mexicans. I don’t know if he was joking.

Apparently, Mexicans are not down with this whole gender fluidity….thing.

A few days after the US deports the son of the former Guatemalan president (yes he’s conservative by their standards) the guy elected to “save democracy” in Guatemala is inaugurated.

Lula’s policy to ensure poverty in the Amazon basin is seeing quantifiable results!

I came across a cover of this, so I had to look for the original.  Enjoy your Tuesday!

    “that happens to be the son of no-shit communists”

    It’s not hereditary.

    • SDF-7

      I assume less a problem with Nature than with Nurture.

      • Common Tater

        I don’t know a single communist who grew up under communism.

      • SDF-7

        I can think of a couple of DAs who grew up with commie terrorist parents who are commies if we’re trading anecdotes, though.

      • SDF-7

        Replied too fast — but I’ll bet the difference is “grew up under communism” versus “grew up with communist parents in a capitalist society”. The latter still leaves open “If only I’m in charge, it will work this time (or at least I can grab all the money and power!)”

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Mexico is many things, but its not technically communist.

  2. Common Tater

    “29% of Asians and Pacific Islanders”

    That’s one stupid made-up category.

      ““That backlog is a powerful example of how broken our immigration system is, and for how long it has been broken,” Mayorkas answered. “Because that backlog existed when I was in the Department of Homeland Security in 2009. It preceded me then, and it precedes me now as the secretary of Homeland Security.””

      What — something like 50+% of the world’s population in one bucket is a problem?

      • Common Tater

        I can’t tell The Rock and Vivek Ramaswamy apart.

      • SDF-7

        Well, now The Rock is going to have to play Zaboo in a The Guild remake. Felicia Day will doubtless be thrilled, though!

    • Rat on a train

      It’s the damn Filipinos who flip between the categories.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        I see what you did there.

  3. Drake

    I suppose if Mexicans wanted to live around a bunch of Hispanics they could have stayed there.

  4. SDF-7

    The right had side options make me think of Zork for some reason… Which I never played much — but I know I stumbled across this at some point… because that’s the only f’ing line that always enters my head when it comes to Zork (or y’all talking about alcohol all morning.. 😉 )

    • Nephilium

      Let me give you something else to think about when you hear of Zork.

      • Swiss Servator

        Exactly what I hoped it would be…

      • SDF-7

        I was expecting the back beat to be from a 5.25″ disk drive motor by the end of that. 😉

        Thanks.. I’m not super into rap in general, but that was mildly amusing.

      “You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
      There is a small mailbox here.”

  5. Common Tater

    “At least 32 transgender and gender non-conforming people were killed in the U.S. since the beginning of 2022, HRC reported in November.”

    Two problems here. First, the HRC is simply not credible. Secondly, if you combine “transgender and gender non-conforming” it doesn’t tell me how many trans people.

    Never mind being trans doesn’t make one immune to being killed for other reasons.

    • UnCivilServant

      32? That’s less than a rounding error in a population this size.

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        How dare you minimize this genocide.

    • SDF-7

      Yeah — at a minimum I’d like to make sure: a) That’s murder, not suicide. b) The breakdown on “domestic violence” or whatnot and c) Are they including the TN shooter and the like who got killed by police while trying to gun down other people? Because context matters…

      The last I recall this sort of thing coming up, most of the deaths were domestic arguments getting out of hand (likely because there’s instability to start with) and not “roving street gangs looking to lynch LGBTQWERTY+2S”.

    • R.J.

      Killed by what? Traffic accidents? What were genuine murders for being trans vs. other reasons, like drug deals gone bad? I clicked the link to see and got…. Nothing. No article with data to back up the assertion of 32 killed and the reasons why. So it’s crap reporting.

    • Nephilium

      32… in a row?

      • SDF-7

        Nephilium is not even supposed to BE here today!

      • R.J.

        I know, what is with this? It’s like an Elvis sighting. Are you off work Neph? Or barely working?

    • rhywun

      Maybe Andy Ngo needs to update his research from the last time which indicated that all such murders for the year were either domestic violence or drug deals gone bad.

      Hell, the whole Mathew Shepard narrative turned out to be a fraud so I guess it’s not likely anyone is going to dig for the truth at this point ever again.

      • juris imprudent

        And you would be surprised (or not) at how many people still think Shepard was killed because he was gay.

      • grrizzly

        One thing that corporations and the government are really good at is brainwashing people.

      • Raven Nation

        Hell, there are still people who believe the Duke lacrosse team raped a stripper and that the Trump campaign actively colluded with Russia.

      • SDF-7

        But enough about Adam Schiff.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Adam Schiff raped the Duke lacrosse team with Russian strippers?

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

        Haven’t seen that movie yet.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        That’s just one of those things that everybody “knows”.

  6. Common Tater

    “The Amazon is a crucial battleground in the global fight against climate change.”

    Rainforests are carbon neutral.

    • Lackadaisical

      I think that makes sense, (to my knowledge) they’re not typically accumulating sediments, which is the only way to actually capture carbon.

      Of course, burning them down may not be carbon neutral either. 😂

      • Common Tater

        Most of the people burning them down were replacing them with cattle pasture.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      I thought the rainforests were supposed to be gone by now, and not that it would matter since we are all dead from tax cuts for the rich and the end of Net Neutrality.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Don’t forget that coral reefs should be gone too

    • rhywun

      That article is an infuriating pile of nonsense.

  7. Aloysious

    Wow, Sammy Hagar. Haven’t listened to solo Sammy in a while.

  8. Tonio

    Authorities in Mexico said at least three transgender people were killed in the first two weeks of 2024, and rights groups were investigating two additional such cases. The slayings marked a violent start to the year in a country where the LGBTQ+ community is often targeted.

    Are all the letters and symbols of the QUILTBAG++ “targeted,” or only those who engage in deception and fraud?

    • UnCivilServant

      I’d wager those engaged in deception will be overrepresented in that list of corpses.

    • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

      My non-scientific opinion is that 99% of trans deaths and assaults are domestic in nature

      • Tonio

        If by domestic you include “M2F transgender sex worker misrepresenting themselves as a woman to a customer,” then yes. That’s the elephant in the room and the QUILTBAG++ doesn’t want to talk about it.

        Having said that, I think murdering someone for that type of fraud is inappropriate. It sucks that anyone has to ask “are you a real woman, like with a natural vag?” but that’s apparently where we are.

      • Common Tater

        “M2F transgender sex worker misrepresenting themselves as a woman to a customer”

        That might be a thing in Mexico, but that’s no longer a thing in the U.S. where there is market demand for sex workers who are transgender.

      • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

        Some are, I think. But I think a TON are partner violence. You have a group of self-hating individuals. They probably tend to get with people who hate them as much as they hate themselves.

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

        Tonios right, it more than sucks.

    “kinnath on January 16, 2024 at 1:51 pm
    Followed by New Hampshire

    https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/primaries/new-hampshire

    Donald J. Trump 35.3%

    John Kasich 15.8%

    Ted Cruz 11.7%

    Jeb Bush 11.0%

    Marco Rubio 10.6%

    Chris Christie 7.4%

    So, the rule of thumb is 3 tickets out of Iowa. Then New Hampshire validates those tickets.”

    To me, I see a former president who can’t sweep up his party right out of the gate, which should worry Trump supporters. I know he’s not an incumbent at this stage, but he argues that he should have been…

    • juris imprudent

      Wait a minute, if he insists he was elected twice, then he’s no longer eligible!

    • Fatty Bolger

      Is that last paragraph something you are arguing? Because Trump smashed the previous Republican record for margin of victory in the Iowa primary.

      • creech

        I don’t recall an Iowa caucus ever having a previous President on the ballot. Trump fans need to face the fact that just about half the Republicans who cared to turn out for the caucus picked someone other than their hero. That doesn’t mean they won’t vote for him against Biden, but it should give Trump’s handlers some insight on the need to improve his
        popularity. Perhaps not trashing all his potential v.p. running mates would be good for starters?

      • Gustave Lytton

        How ever will he get another loyalist like Mike Pence?

      • juris imprudent

        Trump handlers – is that an oxymoron like military intelligence or jumbo shrimp?

      • mexican sharpshooter

        More like same difference.

      • Lackadaisical

        Yes it is. And reference what Creech is saying,

        No previously elected president has had to go through a primary there. The fact that he isn’t getting 75%+ percent of the vote is pretty damning.

    • grrizzly

      I see no difference between Nikki Haley and Joe Biden in the White House. Okay, I still hope to see Biden shitting his pants–obviously so–in front of foreign dignitaries. So, I might want to see Haley in the White House even less.

  10. KK, Plump & Unfiltered

    US sent Sam Power to Guatemala and Jennifer Grantholm to Argentina. Grantholm is the head of a cabinet agency, so Milei “wins”.

    Was it the vegan food?

      The couple was part of a group accused of extorting chicken merchants in Toluca near Mexico City and suspected of kidnapping four workers from a poultry shop in Toluca, authorities said.

      She was just trying to set up a nest egg.

      Her husband was obviously already henpecked.

      I’d better fly out of here before Swiss notices this — it’ll be poultry in motion…

    Several years back (BC, before capitalization) in the course of conversation with a black neighbor we discovered that I had lived a couple years a few blocks from where he grew up on the South Side of Chicago. He looked at me quizzically and said, “But there’s a lot of black people there.”

    This video came across my radar…

    Not sure what the context is (or if it’s needed) but I guess the southern border is some sort of capture-the-flag game where, if a person gets past “razor” wire and half-assed resistance by border cops, she gets to stay. I’m sure some federal court ruling makes it so.

    • juris imprudent

      I’m sure some federal court ruling makes it so.

      Probably anywhere within 100 miles of the border.

  17. The Late P Brooks

    Upsets

    New Hampshire has famously delivered upsets in both parties. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley quipped that New Hampshire “corrects” Iowa. George W. Bush felt New Hampshire’s sting in 2000 when Senator John McCain defeated him. So did former vice president Walter Mondale when Senator Gary Hart of Colorado scored an upset in the Democratic race in 1984.

    With its more moderate, educated electorate, New Hampshire presents Trump’s rivals with possibly their best opportunity to slow his march. Haley is hoping for a win there or at least a very strong showing, as is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who edged Haley out for second place in Iowa but trailed Trump by about 30 points.

    Man, I totally forgot Gary Hart’s Presidency. I must have been high the whole time.

    • B.P.

      An brigade of primary election beat reporters is trying to make an intense horse race out of a few horses grazing. It’s not working.

  18. The Late P Brooks

    owans had something on their minds, but it wasn’t jobs, taxes or business regulations.

    About 4 in 10 caucus-goers said immigration was their top issue, compared to 1 in 3 picking the economy, according to VoteCast. Other priorities like foreign policy, energy and abortion ranked even lower.

    Indeed, about two-thirds of caucusgoers said they felt their finances were holding steady or improving. But the voters still want major changes — 3 in 10 want a total upheaval of how the federal government runs while another 6 in 10 want substantial changes. Additionally, as Trump faces multiple criminal charges, 6 in 10 caucusgoers don’t have confidence in the U.S. legal system.

    It adds up to a portrait of a slice of the electorate eager to challenge core democratic institutions in the U.S.

    We need a better class of voter. The ones we have are not very reliable.

    • B.P.

      They’re working on it.

    • The Gunslinger

      Those 6 in 10 are just the extreme right ultra-maga fringe.

    • creech

      This fits my theory that while voters may bitch about inflation it doesn’t sway their votes as much as suddenly knowing someone who has lost his or her (or it’s) job. Biden may be on thin ice bragging about how well his economic policies are doing but he won’t crash through unless unemployment rates start going up and up.

        Oooh, blood orange mousse! Recipe?
        Love blood oranges, it’s a shame they’re so (relatively) hard to come by and so dangled seasonal.
        The juice makes a terrific sorbet.

    Not to be confused with “justice” system

    Judge: ‘It has been determined already that Mr. Trump did sexually assault Ms. Carroll’

    With Trump looking on during jury selection on Tuesday, Kaplan informed the prospective jurors in the civil lawsuit that the case before them would not revisit the question of whether Trump sexually assaulted Carroll in the mid-1990s in the changing room of a New York department store, ABC News reported.

    “The court determined in a previous decision that Mr. Trump is liable for defamation,” Kaplan said. “For purposes of this trial it has been determined already that Mr. Trump did sexually assault Ms. Carroll, that he knew when he made these statements about Ms. Carroll … that they were false or with reckless disregard.”

    Guilty, based on hearsay, of something which happened thirty years ago which was never reported or investigated at the time. Has Trump not appealed that verdict?

    • grrizzly

      The lying cunt doesn’t even remember the year.

      • Common Tater

        “in the mid-1990s” is just ridiculous.

    top with orange zest? Chocolate sprinkles?

    You can’t go wrong pairing oranges with chocolate. I found, one time, some Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares with what was essentially an orange marmalade filling. I only had them that one time, which is probably for the best. They did not last long.

    Putin on the US 2020 Presidential elections.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin, running for a new six-year term in an election that his opponents say is a parody of democracy, said on Tuesday that past U.S. elections had been rigged by postal voting.

    “In the United States, previous elections were falsified through postal voting … they bought ballots for $10, filled them out, and threw them into mailboxes without any supervision from observers, and that’s it,” Putin said, without providing evidence.

    • R.J.

      Does he have to provide new evidence? I thought we had plenty already.

    • Lackadaisical

      Are we back to needing evidence from politicians for their accusations?

    • juris imprudent

      Ya know, news.yahoo is becoming as stupid as twitter/x in terms of just indecipherable shit.

      • grrizzly

        The alternative to the yahoo link was the Hill link that’s titled “Putin falsely claims past US elections ‘falsified’ through mail-in voting.”
        I picked the more neutral article out of two.

    A guy I was friends with from childhood through my 20s, I was best man at his wedding, I let him live with me after his divorce, though I haven’t talked to him in a decade, came out recently to his family. This is a small town, I’m sure the fact that I’m a ‘confirmed bachelor‘ and that we were roommates will dwindle even a flicker of my losing streak ending.
