I was reminded this week that I’m living in Oberlin East. Here is a news story– not from this town, but one in the next county. Absolutely no connection to our town or any of the colleges and universities here. From what little has been released, there’s nothing here looking even vaguely like an actual crime. And even if it turns out there’s some minor crime not being talked about (on the order of spray paint), there’s no question that no one has been hurt or was in any actual danger. No violence and as far as can be seen from police statements, no property damage. Just pamphlets with doubleplusungood CrimeThink.
But of course, the University had to swing into action, because we can’t allow an opportunity to practice moral preening to pass us by, can we, Comrade? A letter immediately went out from the University president to all faculty and staff:
You likely have heard of the recent reprehensible incident in Hornell involving three white supremacists. Below please find a note sent yesterday by… our new vice president for Student Experience to our students about the incident.
Let us all use this opportunity to be there for each other and our broader community and to remember the commitment we share here… to inclusivity and education. While others may seek to promote darkness it is our responsibility to illuminate hearts and minds.
And to the students:
It brings me sadness that my first student correspondence as the new Vice President for Student Experience is to share resources given an incident in Hornell where three individuals have been charged with felony aggravated harassment, accused of leaving pamphlets promoting white supremacy that included swastikas and racial epithets at several locations. This heinous act hits close to home after just departing Buffalo, NY where 10 people, some beloved members of my former community, were senselessly murdered just because of the color of their skin.
Like Buffalo, I know that [our] community… stands in support of those groups targeted in the Hornell incident. We cannot become numb or indifferent to these types of events and cannot allow ourselves to be quiet observers. As members of the Alfred community, it’s our responsibility to denounce such acts of hate, racism, and intolerance. Hate, racism, and intolerance have no place here, in our local communities, or in the world. I applaud those that reported the preposterous acts of those arrested and the quick response from law enforcement to investigate the matter and make arrests. I encourage each of you to be empowered individuals who contribute to a healthy diverse democracy. We are stronger when we work together to eradicate the world of hate.
Please see below the resources available to our students should they be needed:

Because three people unconnected with the university left some pamphlets in the next county.
But it’s unfair to characterize these educrats as enablers of snowflake neuroticism.
Fuck it, birthdays today include the guy who inspired the character Biggus Dickus; a woman renowned for using natural selection to cull the herd; a woman whose name keeps coming up in NYT crossword puzzles; a guy who eventually made a wrong turn and didn’t ask directions; a guy who inspired a hilariously awful movie; the spiritual father of Louis Farrakhan; the hottest Jewess ever, with a trophy to prove it; an extremely fun SciFi writer; someone who proved that not all cops are bad; and a guy second only to Adam Sandler as a sure-fire sign that a movie will be awful.
Let’s get to the point, shall we?

I had a good friend who was on the Alfred faculty for several years. She would have said the ingrained casual misogyny is a much bigger problem than a few naughty posters in the next town.
“I can’t define it, but I know it when I hear it. And I always hear it.”
ingrained casual misogyny is our schtick, damnit.
There’s a reason I avoided academia. It’s based on medieval hierarchy and is, without question, the most misogynistic place I have ever worked. And I’ve worked on construction sites.
You ain’t kidding.
I avoided academia for that very reason. But what I didn’t understand until too late was that the national Dept of Energy labs (Lawrence Livermore, los Alamos, Sandia) are dominated by academia types with their ivory tower snobbery and detachment from reality.
The fact that I have “only” a master’s degree and not a PhD is clearly a defect in these fuckers’ minds, even though I have 20+ years of practical experience and pull their fat out of the fire routinely, is the only crime worse than being a woman.
I worked in defense for 20 years and never experienced misogyny or prejudice. But this academia-run FOE shit is a whole new thing.

My first impression of the professors in university was that they were almost universally assholes to some extent or another. It was why I switched from physics to engineering so I could transition to industry more easily.

“The three were arrested after Hornell Police, the FBI and New York State Police investigated reports of the pamphlets containing images of swastikas and racial slurs being left at local churches, as well as other public and private properties. A search warrant at a home on River Street reportedly uncovered evidence “which depicted the crimes of Aggravated Harassment.”
All three were charged with 115 counts of 1st-degree Aggravated Harassment. They were taken to CAP Court for arraignment.”
No idea why that should be a felony. If no one would be arrested for BLM pamphlets, then it shouldn’t be a crime.
They very carefully left out any information on anything that goes beyond simple 1A exercise. Which makes my cynical side wonder if there is anything.
Something something “doesn’t protect ‘hate speech!'”
I noticed the news article doesn’t even mention “felony” – I wonder where the university president is getting xer information.
The Ministry of Truth?
Yeah — if I were on that jury, the first amendment would keep leaping to mind. Having a crappy opinion and advertising that isn’t supposed to be illegal — unless the pamphlets were specific “We’re going to find you and kill you” type threats, I don’t get how this is harassment (other than by the community on these idiots).
No way I’d convict. Jury nullification for the win absent specific and credible threats.

“and a guy second only to Adam Sandler as a sure-fire sign that a movie will be awful”
Talladega Nights was hilarious.
I don’t know if I’ve ever had that much drug intake.
Will Ferrell has never made me laugh. Not once. And I’ve been forced to watch several of his movies.
I can think of more Adam Sandler movies that amused me than Will Ferrel ones.
Low bar.
Airheads made up for a lot.
Steve Buscemi.
‘Nuff said.
Some of his SNL stuff was OK, his movies not so much.
The ‘more cowbell’ skit was hilarious, but not because of Ferrell.
There was one with him in a hot tub and his “chest HAIRS” that was funny AF. Scraping the bottom of the barrel, I guess, but in general there were less memorable performers than him during his days on that show.
I like him in this one but they kept his spotlight brief, it’s mostly funny due to Norm:

Talladega Nights – if for nothing other than the out-takes.

A group of House progressives led by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.) called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to strip the Supreme Court of its abortion jurisdiction.
“We write to urge your support for restricting the Supreme Court’s appellate jurisdiction in the areas of abortion, marriage equality, non-procreative intimacy, and contraception,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the congressional leaders.
Understanding of the function of American government is not a job requirement.
One branch of government isn’t allowed to strip authority from another coequal branch of government? Say it ain’t so.

A New York Times-Siena College poll this week found 94 percent of Democratic primary voters ages 18 to 29 saying the party should nominate someone other than Biden in 2024.
Biden, 79, has never been the candidate for younger Democrats, though they did rally to help him win the White House in 2020 as the president endorsed key progressive policy initiatives to address climate change and other issues.
Now the polls suggest they could abandon him altogether amid frustration with a lack of progress in Washington on everything from climate change to abortion rights.
“A lot of the young people that I’m talking to in particular right now are asking what the point is of having a Democratic trifecta if our rights are still being ripped away,” said Ellen Sciales, communications director at the youth climate activist group the Sunrise Movement.
“Like, what’s the point of voting? And obviously we’re pushing people to vote, but it’s going to make it so much harder for us to do our jobs,” she said.
What’s the point of praying to Leviathan Almighty if your prayers go unanswered? Where is our cradle to grave nannytarian paradise? Why should we be expected to provide for ourselves? Why are people we don’t like allowed to walk free?
nannytarian
Nice, but I might use Nannycratic or Nannytopian instead.
Oh, Dems, please do nominate someone even harder left. Inflation isn’t high enough and big business is counting on your abortions.
This climate change shit needs to stop.
It won’t stop until the public demands it and we’re nowhere near there yet. The left will do a lot more damage first.
A summer of rolling blackouts will help.
This. Although I think we are getting close to that point.
It saddens me to know that the United States has hit its peak, and it’s downhill from here.
So what year would be considered the peak? I started thinking about it and I am having a hard time deciding.
I don’t think you can pick a year, but I’d probably look to the ’80s and ’90s. But that is questionable due to the rosy hindight of nostalgia.
Serious question @Dean: 1880’s/1890’s or 1980’s/1990’s?
96-00 were pretty good
After the internet and before 9/11?
That’s a pretty good way to frame it.
I was thinking 1989 to 9/11. The fall of the Berlin Wall was pivotal in human history, not because some concrete got demolished but because it was an admission that communism failed, even in the hands of very intelligent people. I’d say during the Carter years, much of the world still thought Communism would win out.
(Book recommendation: The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister)
So the 90s were full of optimism after the savings and loan mess. The only war was Gulf 1, which was justified and brief and no Nation Building.

What I learned out drinking tonight? “The only thing sexy about you is your availability” is a fun pick up line.
But most importantly, did it work?
Fun part of being long term married is that I don’t want them to work.
You mean you don’t use pick up lines on your wife?
Is “make me a sammich” a pick up line?
My pick up line for my wife is “look at all
The work I just did”. But without saying it.
You can say things with just your tongue.

“Young voters are overwhelmingly progressive. They want to see bold structural change on climate change, on the economy and looking at things like canceling student debt, raising the minimum wage and taxing the rich their fair share,” said Tzintzún Ramirez. “And young voters care about racial justice.”
Call me crazy, but I think that’s delusional bullshit. Not every “young person” is a college communist.
Young voters have always been generally progressive or liberal or whatever it’s called these days but then they learn about the real world and grow up.
“That’s why we have to lower the voting age to sixteen!”/Dems

Top-notch Old Man Music. Miles/Gil Evans was a match made in heaven. Porgy and Bess is my favorite, but BOTC is right up there.

President Joe Biden will announce $1 billion in aid to food security assistance in the Middle East and North Africa on Saturday at a summit attended by key leaders in the region on the last day of his Middle East swing, according to a senior administration official.
The President will also announce that Gulf Arab leaders are pledging over $3 billion over the next two years in projects that align with global infrastructure and investment.
——-
National security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Friday that Biden will cover a wide range of issues in his meetings, “from security to economics, to regional integration, to cooperation on the big global challenges of our time, to human rights and forcefully advocating for America’s values and for the President’s personal priorities.”
Just as long as they pledge their undying love for him.
STOP GIVING MONEY TO OTHER COUNTRIES
Right?! If all he’s going to do on his little foreign adventures is spray my money around, can we just lock him in the basement or something?
Hey, someone has to look out for the hungry. North Africa and the Middle East are well-known food deserts.
Are we going to drop food on Yemen instead of bombs?
Why not both?
Give a man some food and he eats for a day. Hide a bomb in his food and he’ll never need food again.
Dude, you get hit on the head with a falling, frozen leg o’ lamb, same effect.
Senior administration officials on Saturday defended the trip as an opportunity to raise concerns about the kingdom’s rights record with the Saudi crown prince. It would have been “backsliding if the president didn’t come to the region and it would be backsliding if he didn’t and wasn’t willing to sit and raise human rights concerns with foreign leaders around the world,” an official said.
Biden came to Jeddah seeking solutions to one of his top political problems at home — sky-high gas prices — as diplomacy with Saudi Arabia in the Middle East was seen as one of the few routes he could take to bring down prices that are putting strain on millions of Americans.
But White House officials say the President won’t be returning to Washington on Saturday with explicit oil production increases. The expectation is that there will be increases in the months ahead — done within the context of increased output levels in the OPEC+ cartel laid out at its August meeting.
Joe crawls, hat in hand, to the House of Saud, begging for crumbs.

“Ricky Martin is accused of incest by his nephew who claimed they had a relationship for seven months and he ‘attacked him physically and psychologically’: Singer could face up to 50 years in prison
Martin’s legal team told DailyMail.com the accuser is ‘struggling with deep mental health challenges’ and outright dismissed the ‘disgusting’ allegations.
‘Ricky Martin has, of course, never been – and would never be – involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew,’ lawyer Martin Singer said Friday.
‘The idea is not only untrue, it is disgusting. We all hope that this man gets the help he so urgently needs. But, most of all, we look forward to this awful case being dismissed as soon as a judge gets to look at the facts.'”

I would say no but it’s still skeezy.
That article was way too long but I didn’t see anyone rebutting the contention that the “married father of four” had some sort of relationship with the nephew. Uggo.
Apparently (re: Wikipedia), a number of countries do not have a prohibition against incest of any kind between 2 adults. AFAICT, many of them do not make a sex distinction, although Ireland specifically does.
“‘A salad is just a salad’ Irina Shayk speaks out after her post of potato salad led to accusations of the supermodel supporting Russia amid the country’s invasion of Ukraine
Irina Shayk has finally spoken out and confronted social media users on her Instagram on Friday who have accused her of supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian supermodel, 36, shared a since-deleted photo on her Instagram story of a simple bowl of potato salad, but her caption sparked immediate controversy.
She had typed out, ‘Russianzz on Wednesday.’ The letter Z has appeared as a symbol of support for the Russian military. Later on Friday, however, Irina assured there was no hidden meaning in the photo.”

This is the stuff. Reminds me of a sour cream potato salad, but it isn’t. Discovered it at Sam’s, but they’ve only ever carried it seasonally, and lately not at all. Have to go to Not My Usual Grocery to get it, but it’s just the thing for weekends to go with whatever ends up on the grill.

Planned Parenthood doesn’t help women plan parenthood, so couldn’t that be considered misleading?
I guess planning to not be pregnant anymore is a valid argument for PP’s name.
I’ve always thought Planned Parenthood should have been called Unplanned Parenthood.
Honestly, I’m happy that Warren and Hirono are pushing this legislation. It’s more evidence that far left progressives are a death cult. The Dems are really putting it out there lately; whether it’s grooming children or promoting abortions up to 9 months of gestation.
There is a reason why RvW overturned didn’t help the Dems in the polls. Their response has been nothing short of sadistic. Far too few of them have embarrassed reasonable restrictions that Americans favor and believe in. They’ve called GOP extremists, while showing that they are, in fact, the extremists.
Don’t stop your political opponent from exposing the lunacy. Let the rage continue to flow.
Someone, and I think I know who but can’t prove it, signed me up for state and national level polling phone calls.
I’m not sure where in the US the phone reps are calling from, but man, smh if you think im gonna tell the truth to a pollster if “I have easy access to firearms” (damn right) or “I’ve had an abortion” (No, I’m a dude). As far as they know, I’m a 27 year old Assyrian with a Ph.D and I aim to keep it that way.
“I am Hamzak Bal. Who is this other person you keep trying to call.”
The caller seemed taken aback that abortion wasn’t my number 1 priority in considering my US House Rep vote.

Hm. chest trauma from a fall. I suppose. Depends on how she fell.
Does she go under the Clinton Inc. body count?

I’m impressed with all the planning and money to pull that off.
Oh man, that’s gold!
Good morning, Old Man!
Racists are funny. I wonder who the fuck came up with the Klan’s look. Ridiculous.
The spin is even funnier than the fuckup.
They seem to not understand the nature of PR. This fact checking nonsense just kept the story in the news cycle longer.
I like people that are only racist between the sheet.
Tundra!

Not the Bee.
Double down, triple down, quadruple down…
But never ever ever admit you were wrong.
It’s remarkably similar to the miscalculation errors that start wars.
Men are better at being women than women are. Holy fuck, I love being a man in this timeline.
Good. I hope she wins every year and then passes the torch to another woman with a penis. We have to destroy women’s college sports to save it, otherwise this shit will never end.
“Female Inmates Launch Lawsuit After Guard Sold Access To Their Cells To Men, Allowed Them To Be Raped
Twenty women have launched a lawsuit against the Clark County, Indiana Sheriff and multiple Correctional Officers at the Clark County Jail after one of those officers sold male inmates keys to the female cells for the purposes of allowing them to sexually abuse the women.
According to a lawsuit filed on June 21, the incarcerated women were terrorized and assaulted when Correctional Officer Davie Lowe sold access to their section of the jail to two male inmates for $1,000. During a horrific ordeal which lasted “multiple hours,” the women were abused by several male inmates who had been allowed in by the two who had bought the keys.”

“The filing then details that “after multiple hours, a female inmate hit the emergency button and began screaming to call for the correction officers,” resulting in the male inmates retreating back to their area of the prison.
But the women’s ordeal didn’t end there, with correctional staff apparently penalizing the female inmates for having called them.
The women were punished with a loss of “dark privileges,” meaning they were subjected to 72 continuous lights-on in order to prevent them from sleeping. Over the next several days following the incident, the women were placed on lockdown and subjected to questioning in holding cells. Many of the women’s personal possessions were also confiscated in organized “shakedowns.”
Local reports also state that none of the male inmates have faced any charges, and no rape kits were administered on the abused women.”
Why wouldn’t they hit the that button sooner?
Because the male inmates threatened (credibly, I suspect) to kill them if they did?
Because they knew the screws were in on it from the start?
Waiting for a shift change?
All good answers.
No rape kits, but no mention of surveillance video which I assume was turned off or deleted.
Prison rape of male inmates is widely regarded as somewhere between no big deal, humorous, or justified. And, yeah, I’ve seen it here.
So why would prison rape of female inmates be any different?
Because it’s wrong either way and even more so that the fucked-up guards were selling access to caged prisoners who they’re ostensibly supposed to be keeping from harm (one of many duties). Just because it’s become a joke in male prisons doesn’t make it okay. Not only did they sell that access, they then punished and tortured the victims. I don’t see how any part of this can be labeled “no big deal, humorous, or justified.”
The whole system is fucked. Doesn’t excuse any of this.
I don’t see how any part of this can be labeled “no big deal, humorous, or justified.”
Me, neither, regardless of the sex of the victim. I guess I wasn’t clear on that. My (failed) point was that this happened in an environment where rape is tolerated (or worse). The obvious and apparent official misconduct is a new layer of odious in this incident, true. But I’m not sure its different in kind than the tolerance by prisons for rape of male inmates.
Always grinds my gears when people who should know better joke about male on male prison rape.
JFC.
Pretty sure this was raised and dismissed early on.

It was in the fucking trial data.
Pretty sure this was raised and dismissed early on.
That should be a macro for stories on COVID safety and efficacy.
As more data becomes available on the vax, it will be a test for the Borg’s ability to suppress information. If they fail, and if its as bad as some of the data makes it look, I can see the kind of backlash with a body count.
If the fertility data is correct and it persists, there will be civil violence.
Only if people make the connection.
Imagine (it’ll never happen, but bear with me) if the “my body my choice” reproductive rights zealots latch onto this, as they would if they were the least bit principled.
Call me jaded, (“You’re jaded.” “Thank you.”) but I suspect that for at least some of them, “reproductive rights” only extends to the right NOT to procreate. And not the least bit principled.
My body, my choice.
I am opposed to
capital punishmentstate sanctioned revenge murder. But in cases like those jail guards, I could easily be moved to make an exception.Somebody is a camera hog.
Lol
Alright that was a good mood cleanser
Thanks for that. That was awesome.

Kinda hot.

Not buying it either.
