I thought my wife went through my clothes and tossed a few items I don’t wear anymore. Not an unusual wife move, but the difference thankfully is mine doesn’t replace them with some sort of cable-knit sweaters.
So I had an odd interaction with my daughter this morning, who has taken to the fashionable oversize sweatshirt + shorts I do not particularly care for her wearing. My wife wasn’t throwing away my old sweatshirts. Nope, my daughter has been stealing them.
¡enlaces!
Mexican protesters stage a violent insurrection in an attempt to halt a democratic process…okay they just occupied the Senate building over that judicial reform bill.
The law did pass BTW, in spite of protests and fears it will only cement the current ruling Moreno party (both AMLO and the new Trotskyite are from this party). Including this quip from their Chief Justice:
Among those who have criticised the changes is Supreme Court Chief Justice Norma Piña.
She warned the proposed model would “generate tension between judges’ duty to be independent and impartial and their need to make rulings which are popular in order to attract votes”.
I mean, the judges were already paid off. Its just easier to buy them off now that they’re proper politicians. It goes into effect at the end of September.
Just in time for the the election! Gas will get more expensive!
The CIA used to be better at assassinations. This is ridiculous.
Here’s a tune. Enjoy your Tuesday?… I guess.
I’d watch more debates if that happened here.
Trump smacking Harris with a chair would be fun.
Really, we should settle elections this way as well.
I suspect Fetterman vs. Oz would have ended up the same way — but been more entertaining.
LUUUUUMP SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH
President Glen Jacobs, then?
I’m down.
My daughter also wears shorts and a sweatshirt even when it’s 85. My son will wear shorts and a t-shirt even when it’s 55. I foresee the office thermostat fights.
I’m just trying to parse if MS has a problem with the combo — or if it is just the shorts that he doesn’t care for (Daisy Dukes?)….
I’m guessing yoga shorts, if that is a thing? Or are they still just called volley ball shorts?
Calling back to Culver’s in the last thread . . .
I was grabbing a quick supper at Culver’s one night. A bunch of high school girls came in with at least one set of parents. The lizard part of the brain was thinking “oh yeah!”, but the higher level brain functions were thinking “you let your daughters out in public dressed like that?”.
I was much more judgmental before I raised a daughter.
For research purposes only, volley ball shorts are still a thing, but also 4-inch leggings.
*makes sign of the cross*
I’m guessing yoga shorts,
Correct.
I thank god that I did not have to deal with yoga shorts when my daughter was growing up.
Mrs. Dean (I suspect this is a gym thing) calls them booty shorts.
55 is warm, but no one shpoudl wear shorts – long pants forever!
The guy who won’t bare his hands won’t wear shorts. Not surprising.
Sunburn is no bueno, CPA.
I once went a year wearing only shorts.
Like Opus the penguin, I don’t wear pants.
Yeah, I only wear long pants if I absolutely have to.
This was in style when my daughter was a tween
http://80sfashion.clothing/madonna-costumes.php
It was a rough time.
She has an “80’s costume.”
It wasn’t a costume. It was every day.
Thank my lucky star, they didn’t get into the groove of that look at my high school.
Big hair and tight 501s were just fine for this suburban punk.
I remember the 2-3 polo shirts worn at the same time. And big sweaters.
I don’t know how boys make it through Jr. High anymore. It is bad enough with the random boners, but to also be surrounded by girls in yoga pants? I predict a huge dearth of mathematicians in the next generation because no kid dared go to the chalkboard to do a problem.
Nothing has changed.
Ah, clothing battles with a teenage daughter. I remember them well.
*thousand yard stare*
She’s a “mean girl”. It’ll be alright.
Bro Dean had a sign on the inside of his back door (the one everyone used), during his daughters’ tween/teen years:
“Tights are not pants”.
About 95% sure it was his wife who put it up.
Pointless in my house. Momma was/is a hottie so wore that stuff all the time.
We were lucky, the Altar Girl was pretty modest so we never had much of a problem in that area.
Our problem was she was even more stubborn than my wife (which is amazing). So when those two locked horns about something, it was an epic battle of wills.
Better oversized sweatshirts than tube tops, I reckon.
My daughter wears a swim shirt over her bathing suit. I don’t complain.
My youngest, to this day, will wear spandex shorts under a dress.

The WNBA Boom Came With an Ugly Side. It Just Burst Into the Open.
I was going to quote a paragraph to illustrate the stupidity involved, but I couldn’t decide which of the 15 paragraphs was the stupidest. The number of eyerolls in this short article is really amazing.
Aren’t you being paid to play a game?
So it’s far better that they keep playing in obscurity and complaining about not making any money?
“We only want all the good parts about fame!”
Yeah the vets seem bound and determined to destroy a player who has actually brought fans to the game.
I was just watching a youtube video about how Clark is a gamer who has responded to all the nonsense by adjusting to the WNBA and playing great. She is the real deal.
Also interesting that all the cheap shots seem to come from Chicago (Angel Reese’s team).
Maybe the new fans scare all the old time WNBA supporters (cough-lesbians-cough)? They want to go back to the old days when you could buy cheap tickets and lick your opponent.
Magic Johnson and Larry Bird entered the NBA 45 years ago. Since then, race relations are so much worse thanks to our first black President.
I try to explain to my kids that in the 80s and 90s it was quite literally never a thing.
Thanks, Lightbringer.
As an Irish Catholic, I rooted for Johnson and the Lakers over the Celtics.
As an Italian Catholic I watched hockey.
As a Warriors fan every time I saw those Celtics with Robert Parish I was reminded of how the Warriors traded him away for Joe Barry Carrol. I hated the Celts even more than I hated the Lakers. Ugliest team in basketball. McHale, Parrish, Bird, DJ Johnson. Ainge was the only normal looking person in the bunch and he was just plain annoying.
Right?!
Disgusting what has happened.
Well, more late ’80s and up through the ‘000 aughts. Yep, that is when the Dems resurrected racism with a vengeance. It was something to behold. I couldn’t believe how easily they did it. It is worse now than I have ever seen it, and I remember ‘whites only’ signs.
If this like where I’m told that the soccer stadium in Columbus is historic because there was a game there that most who don’t follow soccer never heard of?
But Columbus really is Soccertown, USA. When Mexico plays there, there are no Mexicans.
/looks for my Cinco de Mayo sign for Memorial day weekend.
I’m always surprised when Mexico plays anywhere north of Texas or so – because it almost never happens. Only for certain competitions where I imagine the fields are chosen in advance.
Friendlies are always in locations that guarantee lots of simpatico attendees.
The WNBA “boom” is largely astro-turf, created by ESPN et al.
Who is it that is lining up to see basketball teams that aren’t competitive with your local JuCO men’s team?
Black women, lesbians, and probably a few basketball fans left over wondering what the fuss is about.
Lady soccer is undergoing a similar boom of which I am skeptical.
I guess we’ll find out for real if the dramatic rise on televised appearances quietly dies down.
How much of this is driven by the gambling addicts?
Ahem, we prefer to be called “degenerate gamblers”.
Oh… So sorry! I don’t want to offend the wastrel community.

Speaking of “Scientific” “American”
The superstar success of Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, with a fortune now estimated at $246 billion, poses quite a puzzle. How can someone whose wealth and fame rest on innovative technologies—electric cars and rocket launches—be such a doofus? Never mind his cursing at advertisers, getting high on a podcast, fostering white supremacists or challenging another peculiar rich guy to fistfights, the globe’s most famous technology mogul has spent much of the past two years blowing $44 billion on Twitter (now X) only to drive it into the ground.
And yet this same character remains critical to Ukraine’s defense against Russia, U.S. national security space launches and the American automotive industry’s hopes of withstanding a flood of cheap Chinese electric vehicles. His Dragon capsule will retrieve astronauts stranded on the International Space Station by his doddering space competitor, Boeing, NASA announced in August. This same genius crudely proposed impregnating the pop star Taylor Swift, in front of millions of people, following the second presidential debate in September. Again, how can someone be so essential, so rich and, at the same time, such a dingbat?
Just what we need is a steaming bowl of envy disguised as sneering condescension.
Never met an engineer in real life.
What? Genius does things that normal people don’t understand/approve? Good thing these fucktards weren’t alive in Nikola Tesla’s time. They’d have canceled him good and hard.

“Musk invented neither the electric automobile nor the Tesla electric vehicle,” noted George Mason University’s Camilla Bosanquet in a 2023 historical review. “It seems absurd to have to say this, but the success of Tesla vehicles in the past decade seems to have obscured these facts.”
In the U.S., electric vehicles date to 1890, and the technology was common on U.S. roads until Henry Ford’s cheaper Model T, running on gasoline, wiped them out in the 1910s. They languished for decades thereafter, even in the oil embargo era of the 1970s. The auto industry instead turned to bigger and heavier SUVs and pickups running on gas engines.
Henry Ford, racist supervillain.
Yes – electric cars were a thing, but lost out to gas and even steam powered cars really quickly.
Because Batteries
They languished for decades thereafter, even in the oil embargo era of the 1970s. The auto industry instead turned to bigger and heavier SUVs and pickups running on gas engines.
Languished? Try non existent. And response to the oil embargoes (and mileage/pollution mandates) wasn’t to build larger heavier vehicles. That was far later in response to more regulations.
Also, the bit about Musk not creating Tesla cars is just a flat lie. Tesla had nothing, not even a prototype before the merger, and using a lotus was totally Elon.
The whole SUV thing was to get cars reclassified as trucks and avoid CAFE. Of course the CAFE ratchet means that more and more little cars have to be produced at a loss, resulting in every higher prices for SUVs and trucks.
turned to bigger and heavier SUVs and pickups
Aren’t electric cars pretty fucking heavy?

That is the Dems official position now, isn’t it?
For years the Euroweenies have been decrying free speech in that guise. How is that working out for them? Oh yeah, that’s right, they are running out of room in their prisons for the wrong thinkers and starting to ship them to overseas prisons. I dont think they veil their hatred for freedom of conscience any more. their approach now is “Fuck you, that’s why”. They are even threatening people in other countries for bad speak.
Fuck the both of them with a rusty chainsaw. I cant say that loud enough or often enough.
Pulling ahead from the dead thread:
I completely get that. There are roles where remote simply doesn’t make sense. However, there are also roles where in-office is, at best, neutral in comparison to remote.
When leadership can’t recognize that and drops a top-down edict, it’s an absolute morale killer for the people forced to commute an hour to their “hotelling style open office” to sit amidst the outside sales team at a desk that isn’t yours. There are zero people remotely related to your function at the site, and you’re stuck taking 8 meetings per day in a claustrophobic telephone booth because you’re working on highly confidential stuff and the background noise at your desk is unbearable. Then Cindy from marketing comes over four times per day because she’s bored and wants to start a 45 minute conversation about nothing at all.
My visits to the office are basically that. There are a few people at that site that are in my department, but they’re on different teams that I don’t work with on a daily basis. It’s good to see them on the occasions I visit, but it’s a lot of overhead for a glorified social call.
As far as my day job goes, I’m either editing documents in Word, corresponding with clients on Outlook, or having meetings on Teams. My clients are global, and it’s not uncommon to have a call with a client from Bangalore followed up with a call with a client from Brussels or Beijing or Buenos Aires. It’s a rare occasion when I encounter somebody from the office I’m “attached” to. A return to work edict for my role is arbitrary and pointless.
hoteling is evil.
It’s never the Four Seasons, it’s always Super 8.
The problem is not in-office work. I see two problems.
1. Hotelling. It is a stupid, unproductive work environment, which is is the fault of your management, and by no means required by maintaining an office for people to work in.
2. People like Cindy from marketing. Your management should fire people like her as being deadwood. It is not the fault of office work that your management doesn’t can her.
I will add that I was (re)hired during the plague so if they want me to return to the office, they can kindly offer me a 30% or so raise to make up for the extra costs of commuting and dining kthxbai.
Am I the one only person who brown-bagged it at work?
I did most of the time. I didn’t mind it, but it’s certainly a benefit to have a full kitchen and pantry at my disposal.
Nah, I did it fairly often but also got lazy and bored of the same shit.
So, again from an OPS standpoint, everything you said reinforces my feelings on back to the office. Basically, every single job is in support of OPS*, and when those people are needed, they should be able to be at the point of need within seconds, ie drop what they are doing and get down there. And that could be [whatever] reason that head of OPS feels is the import du jour. Marketing? Look at this, feel this, sit in this and relay that feeling to the customer. Legal? Get down and show me exactly were there will be issues, with labor, regulations, etc. HR? Look exactly at this to find out the staffing requirements to get it in production, delivered, what have you. And, yes, my old Logistics branch would be right there with you, finding out how to make everything run on time.
Also, I am a big believer in You Are More Than The Sum Of Your Job Description. I expect people to be able to help mentor new people, guide workers into the correct dept. for their skills, give input as to the direction of the company at a moments notice, and so on. Working from home makes many of these things impossible. Sure, you could get stuck talking to Suzi twice a day. Use that knowledge to either learn more about another part of the company, or help to manage her out.
And, to be blunt, you managing your time is up to you, as long as I get that responsiveness and inclusiveness.
*I have no idea if you work in a company that is OPS focused. Many don’t. But, this is where I am coming from.
Fully remote jobs stink for youngsters starting their career. They don’t get to watch experienced people and how they work. They also don’t get a lot of informal mentoring that really helps.
For old fucks like me, it is great. No 2 legged time wasters dropping in to try to convince you that their problem is really your problem. No commute. Less meetings.
I don’t know what the answer is, and I’m not sure there is a single real answer.
I mentor. Of course, the people I mentor work in Poland and Belarus so I can’t exactly be there in person for them.
Doocy!

Donald Trump, MURDERER
Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that the death of a young Georgia mother who died after waiting 20 hours for a hospital to treat her complications from an abortion pill shows the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.
——-
“This young mother should be alive, raising her son, and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school,” Harris said in a statement. “Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again. Survivors of rape and incest are being told they cannot make decisions about what happens next to their bodies. And now women are dying. These are the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”
Harris brought up Thurman’s “tragic” case just hours later again during a sit-down interview with a trio of journalists from the National Association of Black Journalists. She is likely to continue raising Thurman’s death through Election Day as Democrats try to use the issue of abortion access to motivate women voters. Harris said she wants to restore Roe v. Wade protections if elected president, an unlikely feat that would require a federal law passed with bipartisan support from Congress.
Thousands of women are dying every day because Trump tore up the Constitution!
There is zero chance that this narrative is true.
She shows up in an ER with complications from taking an abortion pill and they refuse treatment because of Roe V Wade being overturned?
Unless the connection is that an activist doctor had decided to let someone die so they could make a political claim, there is no way that would happen.
ER inefficiency? Sure. Missed something in triage? Yup. Patient didn’t relay something that told how serious it was? Sure.
But denying care in a life threatening situation in an ER?
Nope.
Let me get this right. A woman dying after getting an abortion is somehow a mark against those who want to outlaw abortions? Seems bass ackwards.
“Thurman sought help at the hospital for complications from taking an abortion pill two weeks after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a law that mostly outlaws abortion.” I’m guessing the word “mostly” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
According to the Wikipedia, the limit in Georgia is 6 weeks and there are exceptions for “cases of immediate risk to the life of the mother” which would seem to apply here.
And Trump is the one who can’t “control” what he says?
JFC.

She is likely to continue raising Thurman’s death through Election Day as Democrats try to use the issue of abortion access to motivate women voters.
Every time some journalo brought this story up, Trump should say “let me tell you about another Georgia nursing student Laken Riley…”
Per Kinnath’s question: I urge everyone to watch the entire Doocy interaction.
She not only answers “2 days after an assassination attempt, should you still be calling Trump a threat?” With a resounding yes, and says that he sent people to the capital and got police killed on Jan 6…
She also lists “political violence” that they denounced – implying that Republicans are responsible for the attack by a left wing LGBT nutjob on Pelosi’s husband.
There is a lot more.
She spends quite a lot of time attacking him for even daring to ask about them using such rhetoric, calling it dangerous and saying obviously when they say these things it is because it is a fact.
I can’t watch that shit.
She’s not even bright enough to be subtle. Truly astounding.

Yep
I’m confused. Is Diddy not powerful enough to fend this off like the people on Epstein’s list or is he just too black?
Epstein had more and bigger politicians in his pocket than Diddy. Where money fails, power succeeds.
Also, Diddy was running his own operation instead of being protected by the list.
That is the narrative I’m expecting.

It’s all so confusing.
Well, I got the Fellowship speaker scheduler to drop Kommie from the talk next February. 501c3 came up in our conversation as did the inappropriateness of maybe ticking off half the congregation. Now it is going to be about heroic and spiritual black women (like Tubman, Parks, etc.) who overcame racial prejudice to create the opportunities present day black women have. And he wasn’t adverse to having some black conservative men like Thomas, Carson and Scott – all of whom overcame far more challenges than Kommie – included too (if I do the research). Also had a nice presentation today on the concept of Hell. Half the attendees don’t seem to go along with it being easy to get into Heaven just by “accepting Jesus as my Savior” on their deathbed like they hear from the pulpit every Sunday. I did have to endure a “love of money” is a surefire way to go to Hell as question time ran out.
Congrats
Recommend putting Thomas Sowell in there as well.
Half the attendees don’t seem to go along with it being easy to get into Heaven just by “accepting Jesus as my Savior” on their deathbed like they hear from the pulpit every Sunday.
I have a hard time understanding that. If the preacher is spewing feel-good pabulum from the pulpit every week, I’d have a really hard time sticking around. St. Mattress of the Springs is much more appealing on a Sunday morning if all I have to do is recite a sinner’s prayer and coast for the rest of my life.
Yes. After I left the RC Church I was shocked at how you were “saved” in other denominations. I thought the Catholics were bad lol.
Dudes, all you need to GAY-RONE-TEE salvation in my church is to make sure your tithing payments are up to date.
*wire transfer*
The nature of so many humans is completely incompatible with the character traits that a true heaven would require that your church membership would evaporate pretty quickly if the preacher/priest were to just tell the truth.
“If your behavior is governed by an avoidance of punishment, if you dont do the right thing just because it is the right thing,…I gotta level with you. You are probably not going to heaven no matter what you do. ”
“Wait…so the creator of a universe where every living thing lives at the expense of other living things is going to punish me for the awful things I did to survive? I dont know if I want to go to that creator’s idea of heaven. ”
We can go round and round with this all night.
if you dont do the right thing just because it is the right thing
Of course when you remove a higher power from the equation, good luck defining “right” in any way more deeply than your personal “yums” and “wrong” any more deeply than your personal “yucks”. Let alone the question of why anybody should be beholden to anybody else’s definition of “right” or “wrong” aside from sheer brutal “might makes right”.
Those idiot Christians may have the wool pulled over their eyes, but don’t pick too hard at that facade of “natural morality”. It’s tissue paper thin and once you poke a hole in it, you end up tumbling into the nihilistic abyss.
