Don’t have a whole lot today, so let’s get to the links!
They paused the game? There are two ways to solve this: Mexicans get less “bigoted” or FIFA can get fucked. My money is on Mexico.
Yet another migrant caravan heads for the US-Mexico border ahead of the Americas Summit…except the Mexican government follows through on their promise to snub Brandon.
At this point, I’m guessing this was a strategic decision.
If this happens, where will Peter Schiff move?
48 hour rule, or should we just assume the minister was sleeping with his wife?
Argentina proposes a tax on grain companies that benefit from the Russia-Ukraine war against the Vortex. Meanwhile in Brazil, they are trying to find ways to harvest more grain (for the Vortex).
Another jaunty tune, or if you’re not into it, here’s something more your speed.
Seriously? There’s nothing happening on this side of the border?
That’s a first, bitches.
God I love the glorified sexism of 90’s videogames. No one would have ever played those lousy Cruisin’ games if you didn’t get these amazing payoffs at the end of each race.
Like Blazing Saddles, you couldn’t make Dead or Alive today.
Which is a real shame considering the leaps and bounds made in jiggle physics. Sad.
The futból game was in Chicago.
What exactly are you telling us about the Mexicans living in the United States?
Also football: Australia 2, UAE 1; AFC playoff round.
Does anyone happen to have the score on the Cal game?
I caught it earlier, it was zip-zip, if that’s any help.
Mexico’s draw with Ecuador on Sunday night in Chicago was once again halted by the return of an anti-gay chant directed at the opposition goalkeeper during the match.
That’s the least bad thing that typically happens at soccer games outside the US.
Flaming rolls of toilet paper being hurled at the players was a highlight of the one I went to in Costa Rica.
Mean words stop the game but not the batteries, or bags of piss that the little shits of Central America toss.
Damn your nimble fingers and mind.
Those friendlies aren’t so friendly after all.
It’s been so much worse…

Sounds like someone was trying to compete with the Sugarfree gummy bear review for top honors.
I need a link to that. Or citation.
I thought it was Internet Famous enough not to need one.
Here’s a sampler set.
The reviews for the Squatty Potty are pretty epic, too.
e.g. It wasn’t so much that I was dropping a deuce. Oh, it was being dropped; that much was undeniable. But I couldn’t really claim agency on said descent. Gravity was doing the work. I was merely the meaty husk from which it made its hasty escape. Used to more of a segmented approach to waste disposal, I was quite surprised that the creature making its egress from my nethers had more the appearance of a python. Smooth, and consistent in width, it coiled luxuriously in a pool of toilet water that is (or at least was) cleaner than the water that most of the people on this planet drink. As it continued to coil, my emotional state flowed from one of surprise, to horror, to amazement, and then again to horror as the snake coiled higher and higher, like soft serve ice cream at an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. It was now surfacing above the water line. But still, the snake showed no signs that it was anywhere near finished with its journey. In a panic, I pawed at the flusher. The poor toilet strained, but eventually sent things on their way. But I wasn’t done yet. As the toilet flushed the waste away, more came to replace it. As the flush subsided, the coil started anew. And then I was done. I tried to catch my breath as the toilet flushed a second time. I felt my liver shift and expand, unsure what to do with all the extra space now afforded to it. I cleaned up and stood, almost dizzy after the affair. “Wow. A+++”, I thought to myself. “Would poop again.”
OMG. I’m crying. That’s gold!
No kidding!
I felt my liver shift and expand, unsure what to do with all the extra space now afforded to it.
Perfection.
“Would poop again.”
Words to live by.
“Beats the alternative” applies here as with the old “Still alive” case.
Oh, thats good. People are funny.
The only thing I took from that review is that these cables allow for communication across the time-space continuum. I must have. I’m going to cash in all my Dogecoin to buy them so I can communicate back to myself to buy all the Dogecoin. It’s a flawless plan. Admittedly, I haven’t checked the price of it in a while. How’s it doing?
So the Mexican soccer team’s glory is memory holed?
What you did there…
I think you meant that the team’s memory is glory holed.
See the last GlibFit
No way. Last time I looked through a GlibFit glory hole, things didn’t go well. You won’t fool me that way again.
Yeah, that eye damage can be a bitch…
Did the glory hole not go well or did it go so well that you’re confused and scared of the feelings it awoke inside of you? We’re not here to judge your holiness.

Sportzball fans using homophobic slurs against the players of an opposing team? I have never heard of such a thing. Next those people will be brawling in the streets.

My money would be on Mexico as well. Frankly, at this point given the machismo culture heritage, I expect Latin America looks at us as a nation of pansies anyway — so I don’t think they care what Chicago thinks of their chants.
Puerto Rico should have been granted independence under the Philippines model long, long ago. They’ve shown zero interest in becoming a state and really we had no business making them a territory. Cut the strings.

The hearing comes two weeks after a group of Democratic congress members including the House majority leader and one Republican proposed what would be the first-ever binding plebiscite that would offer voters in Puerto Rico three options: statehood, independence or independence with free association, whose terms would be defined following negotiations.
The US should just cut Puerto Rico loose.
“Independence with free association” unpacked
We give them “limited” foreign aid and defend them with our military, ie they continue to freeload.
Does any island in the Caribbean have anything to worry about other than from *us*? I think we’d have major issues with a regional war flaring up there, much less anyone from Europe or Asia trying a landing there. So why even bother saying it?

“She is not perceived as a credible person on Latin America,” said Michael Shifter, past president of the Inter-American Dialogue think tank in Washington. “She has not established herself with the Latin Americans.”

Nothing else follows.
Oh, Tulsi: Tulsi Gabbard Keynote speech at Western Conservative Summit
Was the speech good or bad? I just enjoyed it on mute.
So that’s what Spud got for his first above, I take it?
It’s worth listening to. She hits all the right points I believe.
Miniplayer, dude.
She addresses the “spare me the BS about constitutional rights” guy. Gets good around 6:10.
I’ll listen to it tonight when I’m not at an office pretending to work. I’m ready to get my swoon on…
No apology needed for posting that.
Hot damn. But is she switching parties? I don’t see her getting anywhere with the Democrats with all that “God” and “freedom” and “rights” talk. Just icky!
Tulsi for 2024 LP presidential candidate!
Or no party…we should try that one
Are you not aware that the LP was just successfully taken over by real libertarians who don’t suck?
Ding!
They don’t suck, but I do wonder what it will mean. The ‘post libertarians’ don’t seem too impressed.
Angela was on Malice’s show last week and I thought she did a nice job.
I don’t expect them to suddenly win the presidency or a bunch of similarly high profile seats. I do expect that there will be a bunch of much more media savy people who will know how to get attention in ways the legacy media will find hard to ignore. If nothing else, I think they may be able to raise the profile of the freedom movement enough to significantly widen the current sliver of an Overton window that our current discourse allows.
Has her economics gotten any better?
*robc throws a bucket of cold water
Good question.
I did vote for her in the 2020 primary.
I contributed to her campaign.
$10
I’ll be happy to sign on as her economics advisor.
Really, really happy.
She could be Sec of State, no problem.
That would be a hard conversation to have with the wife.
Isn’t she Hindu? Wouldn’t it be gods talk?
Maybe trade Liz Cheney for Tulsi?
Cheney is supposedly trailing in her primary by 30 points. Might be 50 before this week is over.
https://www.newsweek.com/liz-cheney-harriet-hageman-wyoming-republican-house-primary-1711035
That is one race I am really worried will be “fortified”
I can’t wait for the sad Liz Cheney memes. Another evil American political bloodline toppled in a matter of weeks? The neo-cons that have ruined the century so far aren’t getting the jail time they deserve, but at least a few are finally being kindly escorted away from the levers of power. Better than nothing.
Agreed.
Don’t worry. She’ll get employment at some DC think tank.
As if she wasn’t already?
“One thing the incumbent GOP lawmaker has on her side is fundraising… her total haul as of early April to about $10 million.”
Gee I wonder what moneyed interests might want to keep Liz Cheney in power. One of life’s deep mysteries.
Libertarian moment?
Financial services company Discovery and Advanced Emergency Management Services have launched a private firefighting service in South Africa.
The group said the service will be a value-added benefit primarily to Discovery Insure clients whose vehicle, home or business may be impacted by fire. The service will be available to clients across the majority of the Johannesburg metropolitan area, it said.
“The UHP unit can be connected to a GARDEN HOSE and allows a very effective first attack against house fires, car fires and other smaller fires,” said Hadley Shapiro,”

BIDEN: “My plans have produced the strongest, fastest, most wide-spread economic recovery America has ever experienced—with record jobs, record small busineses and wages rising.”
He should try playing the Clinton card: “the economy Trump left me was so much worse than what I thought, it will take longer to get out of his mess than I anticipated.”
His press just said exactly that today.
Secretary
Right the first time.
I thought that was Obama’s shtick.
Whatever happened to putting in “he said without evidence?” I feel like that fell out of fashion in journalism circles circa Jan ’21……
I love the random page flips around 0:36.
All it takes to have record setting growth is to lock everyone in their houses for a year. Then pile on a heaping helping of inflation and your wage growth numbers will be awesome.
I’d be all for Puerto Rico becoming a state as long as the State of Jefferson is added alongside them. Make it like the Alaska/Hawaii entrance back in the 50’s and that will also make it easier on the flag design.
I would rather see a Portland to Seattle state, and leave the rest of Oregon and Washington alone.
Really, what we need to do is start recognizing city-states were the major metro areas have zero in common with the rest of the state, like NYC, Seattle and Portland, SF and LA. That would go a long way to releasing the pressure on the country right now.
Yep – treat em like DC. Shouldn’t be too difficult – pretty much every state capital is geographically distinct from the major urban areas in the same city.
We’ve tried everything and we’re all tapped out.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen concedes Biden has no plan to lower gas prices: “the administration has done everything that they can.”
Gas prices have more than DOUBLED since Biden took office.
Oh thank God… they’ve certainly done *enough* that if they can’t “help” us any more, that’s at least something.
Yeah, I’m OK with them not doing any more things.
“We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.”
Stinks of ‘nothing left to cut’
For some reason they edited this part out of the speech.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOTyUfOHgas
They could cut some regulatory impediments to reopening refineries that were shutdown during COVID.
Ah, that’s just crazy talk.
I’ve said it before — but at this point, who in their right mind would invest in more refining or drilling, especially if this admin is still in? They can yank it all back away in a heartbeat, and they’ve made it more than clear they hate the industries and would love to do so.
I’ve said it before – thank god we avoided blatant fascism by getting rid of Trump! Now we’ve got some real Top Men in government controlling private industry from the top down.
I’ve said it before, but if I was a Noble Red Man running a reservation, I’d be building refineries and nukes, while telling the Feds to go fuck themselves and their regulations.
Brandon might have made energy production more profitable than casinos.
Bonus Points if Musk financed a refinery on the Pine Ridge reservation. Close to the Bakken oil fields, it would be perfect. Of course, Biden would then be bragging about how his policies turned on of the poorest places in the country into one of the richest.
Just because they changed their mind once doesn’t mean that they may change their mind in the future!
Apparently, nobody. Our oil industry should probably be looking to buy leases in… some oil-rich country we are friendly with but I can’t think of any.
I disagree. They could make domestic energy production even harder.
“Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow brags that it doesn’t ‘matter’ to her how high gas prices are because she drives by every station in her electric vehicle”

It’s curious how these cuntes are pressing for greater electricity demand via electric cars and no increase in electricity production.
They hate poor people.
I see no other rational explanation.
It’s just powered by the sun man.
They will ensure current production is only delivered to the rightthinkers.
That’s unpossible. Electric Vehicles will be carefully managed by the Ministry of Transportation. Of course the politicians will need vehicles at all times, while those of the upper class can purchase shares in a vehicle that will be available for a small fee, background check, loyalty oath, DNA swab, and being up to date on your latest COVID vaccinations.
*China masturbating furiously in the corner*
You forgot monkey pox vaccination and recitation of the latest quiltbag includees.
And what about long haul and as of right now short haul delivery, Debbie?
They are all saying it out loud now.
Honest question: who is paying for the electricity provided by all those EV stations?
I loved being sneered at by the elites who are trying to impoverish my family.

I have Enya on heavy rotation on Pandora. I hope none of you think less of me for it.
The best I can do is promise not to tell you that I think less of you for it.
Whew thank you, that’s a relief.
Funny — I would have pegged you more for a wild child, TOK.
In these stressful times I find her music relaxing. Plus when I paint I enjoy listening to music that involves a high degree of craftsmanship.
Try Steely Dan or Genesis.
Genesis w/o Peter Gabriel is just Phil Collins.
Bauhaus w/o Peter Murphy is Love & Rockets.
And a donut with no hole is a danish.
There was a brief period of Genesis that still had Steve Hackett but no Gabriel. I think it still qualifies as Genesis.

The second sentence is so much more important than the first sentence.
Genesis? Dafuq?

I hate Phil Collins’s voice the way MikeS hates Geddy Lee’s, although he is objectively wrong on that.
Geddy Lee is literally the worst singer ever, figuratively speaking.
That’s not Collins on that track.
You expected me to actually listen to it before opining?
You should. It really is a work of art by people skilled in their craft.
He’s right.
But how can you keep from singing when you paint the sky with stars?
I will have to think about that on my way home.
When I am trying to destress, I listen to ambient spa or electronic chillout lounge or what they call “smooth jazz” which is not jazz, but which is not easy listening either.
Why would you break my heart that way?
I’ve never had Enya on heavy rotation, but I do like to listen to her once in a while. Go for it.

Been on a Yoko Kanno kick on spotify (will need to subscribe sooner or later, this is a useful service for traveling). I’ve got a stack of her soundtracks, but I’ve been listening to a lot of her early stuff – ridiculously versatile composer – I’d put her head and shoulders above most of the film composers in the US the last 20 yrs.
I will have to let the orinoco flow.
Getting stoned to the bejeebus and making out while listening to The Memory of Trees are some of my greatest memories. No lie.

The looting of the treasury has bled over to the populace at a far greater pace.
To be fair that poor girl definitely earned some sort of compensation. Too bad it has to come out of the taxpayer’s pocket. But let’s be honest, does the Biden family have any money that wasn’t stolen from somebody?
“Two teens arrested in ‘mass casualty’ plot in 2018 targeting a Uvalde middle school”
https://www.kens5.com/article/news/crime/two-teens-arrested-in-mass-casualty-plot-in-2018-targeting-a-uvalde-middle-school/273-548565605
So it took the FBI four years?
Isn’t the old saying “when seconds matter, the police are moments away and the FBI might eventually get around to it in a few years if they run out of people to frame.”?
Apparently, the police are hours away.
Like a California freeway, 1/2 mile in distance but an hour away.
It’s a rehashed story from 2018 because of “public interest”.
I’m curious while the teens were troubled, all they had was talks and written down ideas. No guns, no IEDs etc according to the article. How is that to the level of criminal?
“One of the students had numerous writings and drawings which depicted weapons capable of causing mass destruction. He wrote about being “God-like” and killing police and other persons. He had an academic analysis of one of the Columbine shooter’s journals,” the release stated.’
OK, then.
Fuck. Off.
“It always baffles me when guys use Jesus as their excuse to discriminate,” Ruby told the news outlet. “Like, wasn’t Jesus the guy who preached ‘Love Thy Neighbor.’”
“This isn’t about religion,” he continued. “This is about being a good teammate. When guys go out of their way to make a point of opposing Pride Night, they’re sending a clear message that people like me just aren’t welcome in baseball. It’s a reminder that even on the one night we get to be proud of ourselves at the ballpark, we are still second-class citizens. It’s as simple as that.”
Good teammates don’t compel speech.
Someone really doesn’t understand when they’ve crossed the line between “tolerate” versus “celebrate”, obviously. (As has been said here before… “Stay out of my bedroom!” has become “Celebrate what I do in my bedroom!”).
Openly gay pro-baseball player Bryan Ruby…Ruby, who has played in the minor leagues but is reportedly taking June off
That’s strange framing from the Daily Wire.
[Kramer is cornered in an alley for not wearing the red ribbon at the AIDS walk]
Bob : So, what’s it going to be? Are you going to wear the ribbon?
Cosmo Kramer : No! Never!
Bob : But I’m wearing wearing the ribbon.
[points to Cedric]
Bob : He’s wearing the ribbon. We are all wearing the ribbon! So why aren’t *you* going to wear the ribbon?
Cosmo Kramer : [yelling] This is America! I don’t have to wear anything I don’t wanna wear!
Cedric : What are we going to do with him?
Cosmo Kramer : Huh?
Bob : I guess we will just have to teach him to wear the ribbon!
[Kramer to escape up the fire escape, but is dragged down by the other AIDS walkers]
Prophetic.
Thanks to you I just had to watch that clip.
Movements can be derailed cause someone didn’t wear the 27 pieces of flair required.
A kid on my son’s team has a brother recovering from chemo. They had a bunch of t-shirts made as part of a fundraiser, that I decided to use as an alternate uniform.
Even then there were kids on the team that didn’t wear the cancer ribbon shirts.
The shaving of one’s head in “solidarity” with the cancer patient is stupid, too. From what I’ve seen, the cancer patients don’t care for the practice, either.
A friend of mine was being treated for brain cancer. She lost all her hair and I asked her if she wanted me to shave mine in solidarity. Her response (after looking pointedly at my melon): “No need. You’ll catch me soon enough.”
Based AF
Having lost Mama Tres to cancer some years ago, I still dont feel compelled to march in a “End Pancreatic Cancer” campaign or wear adornments.
“That’s cool. We will compel them to wear it. Next month is ‘Celebrate Republicans Month.’ We will celebrate everything Republicans have done for the country. You will wear a big red elephant on your jersey all month. Remember, you have to be a good team mate and wear it.”
Yeah, I’m surprised the league allowed any player to not wear the ribbon.
I’m guessing if they do that (assuming you’re not lying), it’s because you’re an asshole.
There are numerous examples of gay players who either don’t face such issues or don’t talk about it.
“Sure, I don’t believe in your hokey religion, but if I twist your messiah’s words in just the right way, won’t you do what I tell you?”
So you’re saying that you can’t be proud of yourself without getting validation from everyone around you?
You should probably get some therapy.
Probably sleeping with the guy’s daughter. Still, it was a fairly manly response.
Vaccine mandate survey results
I recently sent out a survey asking people to relay their experience in attempting to obtain a medical exemption for work, school, travel, etc. 329 people responded, and of those, 23% were in the healthcare field.
Not surprisingly, the majority of respondents had difficulty getting a medical exemption; only one-third of respondents had their exemption requested granted the first time without difficulty.
Sadly, 60% of respondents were never granted a medical exemption.
Any idea how this was sampled?
Pretty sure it’s an open request to anyone that lands there. At the bottom it says take the survey
So anecdotal. High selection bias.
Matches up to a lot I’ve heard, especially for gov employees.

He’s using one of the other passenger’s hand?
Gets really weird when you get into conversations of how to achieve a full wave rectifier masturbation pose
I wonder why that is relevant.
My assumption is that so is the masturbator.
So they are likely trying to remove allegations of racism from the accusations.
I hope the guy was wearing a bee costume as he got off the bus after his masturbation session.

When Kotaku called the store on Monday, someone answered saying that it would be open again soon and directed us to contact the communications firm Longacre Square Partners, which specializes in topics like investor relations, shareholder activism, and crisis management. A representative of the firm refused to offer on-the-record comment on the situation over the phone. They declined to comment in writing either, and demanded we not mention the name of Longacre in the story.

How have they not gone the way of Blockbuster?!
My first reaction when I saw the blurb about it was how they were shocking gamers by walking out. FFS, I don’t know a gamer who would have gone to a Gamestop in the past decade.
And are they going to be made into a Party Game?
I used to go there – and there is one within walking distance – up to about five or six years ago to get used console games but even those can often be downloaded now. Plus I mostly stopped console gaming anyway (for the sole reason I find it a hassle compared to desktop gaming).
Did anyone even notice? Maybe one customer in Idaho somewhere, who then ordered online.
Every child is important and it’s our job to protect them. I’m serious.
On average, about 2000 abortions are performed (or incurred) daily. If the establishment is concerned about the 20 in Uvalde all they would need to do is take a 20 minute coffee break and supply would be replenished. Any other conclusion is hypercritical.
Nice.
How’s things, Fourscore? Make it thought the storms OK?
Not satire, as far as I can tell (actual CA state senator)

If there was ever a virus to pull numbers out of your ass on…..
Why did they pick monkeypox as the next Big Thing? It doesn’t make any sense. No one is scared by it, it takes about 10 seconds of research to find out that you aren’t getting it from being around people (unless you are fucking an infected person).
Am I missing something?
It terrifies everyone in DC and the mass media because they’ve gotten so used to fucking the rest of the country in the ass?
If Cawthorn is right, that’s not just metaphorical.
Reminds me of the Great Ebola Freakout of 2014
Oh god, I remember some of the folks on TOS — and I think some of them migrated here — freaking out over it.

Was it gluten free?
Supposedly it is deadlier? (although the article gives a range of 0-11% in one place and 3-6% in another, so it is real clear).
It also is deadlier for kids which is a real plus after Rona. Sure, normal people wouldn’t be that concerned about kids getting a disease that seems to be transmitted during sexual activity, but those people haven’t been paying attention to what is happening in schools have they?
Also really looks like the Babylon Bee dropped the ball on this story: Miracle: Pfizer Announces They Just So Happened To Finish Monkeypox Vaccine Yesterday.

Our timing sucks. If I hadn’t just quit there, we could have split a referral fee. But I’m glad it worked out. In the Before Rona times, they used to make you readers show up at one of our testing sites and sit in a room grading papers. I bet it is way better doing it remote.
Maybe I’ll apply next year. Of course, I’m worried that I might not have the right stuff to be a professional reader. I’d hate to get severe lip cramps in the middle of an essay.
Is it just decoding or do I have to comprehend?
I would’ve put your name down if I’d remembered what it was. 😉 Could hardly put His Holiness Pope Jimbo. I just put “an internet friend.”

Poor Murphy. He’s not getting the dead baby bonanza he wanted.
*Sad trombone*
“Access”
I wonder who is currently being denied “access”? Oh… they mean “free”.
Be nice if they said what they mean.
Yeah, because NJ has all kinds of money.
May as well just pay not only for the abortion, but give the woman a check too.
/gets on soapbox
There are no club bylaws and I’m not your supervisor. And this is not aimed at just one person: If you’re going to take part in the friendly competition/social club/annoyance to non-players known as Quordling, don’t you think the fair and sporting think to do would be to post all your scores…not just the days you do good?
/hops off soapbox
Last call for Quordle scores.
Yes.
Do you need a cranberry juice?
Having a beer. I’ll be better momentarily.

One more round, then its bottles to the ground.
Name names!
I know I have a big gap but that’s because I quit for awhile.
Me. I said publicly I was not going to post my shame.
You aren’t the only one
Long ago I came to realize I am a poor sport and I’m totally okay with that.
No, quitting and then quitting quitting is different. ?
Well.
Everyone has their bitch.

I had to add you back in…Hype’ purged you last week.
Heh… can you just imagine how crappy I’d be doing if those were my *good* scores?
I post days I get around to playing
I know not everyone can play everyday. Totally get that.
I just picked fresh green beans. I’m going to have shrimp in piccata sauce with green beans and almonds and a freshly picked salad with freshly picked radishes. I love having a garden.
Ooh, and a glass of wine.
I love radishes, but my gf doesn’t. So I rarely get them.
You could grow some and have them all to yourself. My favorite is sauteed.
Sauteed radishes? Huh…I need to try that. Butter…EVOO…?
Butter
??
Last night the wife made a slaw of fennel and radish, picked from her garden. I don’t know if I have seen anything put her in a better mood lately.
Main course was calamari over noodles and spinach.
Aaaaand that is the last I will talk about food for a while.

Grosspatzer didn’t let us down! He defeated the Hyperbole! Now Grosspatzer goes brain-to-brain with Whiz to see who the super Quordler is. And then there’s one more round? I admit I am confused by the extra rounds and how that all plays out. Seems almost like it’s being made up as we go…
All in all, today was an average day. The T-line split was 12/12. The average was 26.7 but would have been a boring 22.X had someone not busted. Most streaks kept extending. Quordlemetrics: 0 2 3 5 (3).
Average music for an average day.

*points at your avatar
No more rounds, by winning Tourney the Third ‘Patzer earned the right to challenge whiz, the current Champ, for the belt. After that title match, we will start another tourney to see who gets to challenge whomever the winner happens to be. It’s very simple, even Bro could figure it out.
Ohhhh…it’s just a “reigning champion” thing. I thought you were gonna end up with some tournament of champions nonsense.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE…
“My seed word is Candy”
Of course it is……
