This ended well.
The first week of the NFL is in the books. And it was a doozy. I hope the rest of the season is so unpredictable and chaotic. I think Toronto and Tampa may have run out of games to catch the Yankees. Especially with the latter dropping their last 3. I think the Twins are probably also done, but the White Sox-Indians are still battling for the AL Central. Which leaves that and the Braves-Mets and the last NL wild card spot the only fun races left as we head down the final stretch. And here’s one sports-related thing you have to watch. What a strange place. A silly place. And that’s it for sports.
Well, this is a shame. I was hoping it would have gone longer so more people would pull their kids out. I also hoped they’d just replace all of them. Unfortunately, those politicians know which unions feed their reelection campaigns, so this was most likely inevitable.
Whoops. My bad.
Hey, I remember this guy. Jeez, I can’t believe the accident was that long ago.
Well, I hope it works. At least then big Pharma can’t profit off of and control the drugs used anymore. Well, at least not these drugs that kill people. They’ll still have their vaccines though.
The paper ought to post 1300 want ads. I mean…its not like they have to buy the space. Just have an intern put them together and post each one specifically outlining the duties of each person who refuses to come in. Then the problem will solve itself.
Good lord. Not everything is meant to be racist, people. Give it a break for just one day, ok?
Head on a swivel!
Crikey! That’s no way to go out.
LOL, come on this is silly. If Arizona did this, they’d run out of names every year.And at higher temperatures. Toughen up, Golden State.
Thank God for these brave men. Now those cheese-eating people in Albequrque will be safe. Aside from those who use fentanyl. Because while they were stopping this woman, a mess of that shit probably came across.
Ooh…rockin’! These guys were ok. Here’s a second one for you to enjoy. That chick was smoking hot. Too bad she married Springsteen and ruined her career as a hot music video chick.
Anyway, that’s it for the links. Go have a great day, friends.
That Fetterman fella has an alien living in his neck… IT’S THE LIZARD PEOPLE!
Now we know why he dresses in a hoodie even in the middle of the summer.
You would think people would realize a political party that keeps candidates they have to hide in a basement in order to win an election, even when it is obvious the candidate can’t perform the job, would make people question their decision to be part of that team. But I guess when your idea of the meaning of life is “To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of those that tell you men can’t have babies”, shit like that is not important.
And you’d think the opposition party would put people up against those basement-dwellers that could easily beat them, as opposed to Dr Oz or Herschel Walker.
Alas, they’re not called the stupid party for nothing.
I think the problem is Pennsylvania Too much stupid there to begin with.
What’s wrong with Herschel Walker? All I know about him is that he played football somewhere.
Seems like you’ve described his lone/major qualification.
I met him in 1989 or maybe 1990. He was very charismatic then. He seemed like one of those athletes who was legitimately Not Dumb.
I was asking for his disqualifications.
Celebrity status is a disqualification IMO.
Which puts him one ahead of Warnock.
I’m just glad science still has a chance to study Neanderthal DNA.
I thought it was because it’s slimming.
It’s an eggsack. It contains tens of thousands of larvae. It will burst during the debate, book it.
“Thank God for these brave men. Now those cheese-eating people in Albequrque will be safe. Aside from those who use fentanyl. Because while they were stopping this woman, a mess of that shit probably came across.”
The cheese wheel mafia turned in one of their competitors…
“Confiscated Cheese Wheels Disappear From Evidence Room”
/Headlines
“Confiscated Cheese Wheels were kept in Swiss Vault but Disappear. ‘Not Gouda’, says Police Chief “Pepper” Jack — blames immigrant Curds.”
Boo! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I saw a similar incident on The Roquefort Files.
*narrows gaze*
You are very Fondue of that.
It is his whey.
I was checking out drugsdata.org the other day. There are fake Oxys out there with fentanyl in them. It must be cheaper to manufacture or something.
The war on the real stuff is certainly a contributing factor.
“The paper ought to post 1300 want ads.”
That would imply these losers were doing something of value and would need replacing…
There’s been enough industrial accidents and Peaceful Pill Handbook testimonials that I suspect it’ll work fine.
Yup, I’ve never understood why that wasn’t one of the top methods, even without the shortage of injectables, hard to fuck this up. Though I guess the State could do it, if anyone can.
National Review proposed it as a method clear back in 1995 in an article entitled Killing With Kindness: Capital Punishment by Nitrogen Asphyxiation. That was when the activist efforts to make execution drugs unavailable was first kicking off.
It’ll work. It’s been like 15 years since I had a hard-core industrial Process Safety school, but one of the very clear points was that nitrogen gas is basically the most dangerous industrial chemical out there, in terms of actual number of deaths.
I started advocating (if that’s the right word) for nitrogen asphyxiation years ago, remembering this incident from when I was a kid.
The way I’d do it: place the murderer in a normal-sized 7×10 foot cell with a cot, a TV, and a food slot in the door. Have a couple of Nitrogen tanks hooked up to the A/C vent. When the guy went to sleep (and he *will* eventually fall asleep), turn the valve on the nitrogen and let him soak in pure N2 for a half hour or so. He’ll never know what hit him and be deader than free lunch.
The drawback, at present, seems to be that executions still have to be a spectacle in front of witnesses, however small a group of them.
who are increasingly voicing frustration at being underpaid and underappreciated
Under appreciated? Teacher’s Union doing their Glen Close Fatal Attraction imitation.
I for one encourage them to go even crazier straff. The more people get to see these cuntes are stealing tax payer money and making our kids evil idiots by indoctrinating and grooming them, the better our chances that sane parents will make appropriate changes. let the idiots keep subjecting their kids to abuse and lessons in how to fail at life all they want.
Where does Underappreciated fall on the Appreciated Scale?
being underpaid
They all want to be the overpaid administrator though.
I looked up teacher salaries in our district. Not outrageous pay, But certainly not bad considering all the breaks they get. What shocked me was administrator pay. Not that it was so high, just that there were so many of them. There is one high school in our district. It is always in the top ten largest in the state, usually top 5. The principal of that school has to be crazy busy and stressed all the time. But he is 10th in line on pay. 9 people in the district make more than him. I get the Superintendent making more, maybe even his second in command. But how is the man in charge of such a large school the 10th highest paid in the district? It’s bullshit. And he only makes like 10k more than the HS Athletic Director?!?
People who have more people under them on the organizational chart often seem to make more. But I believe that one of the biggest reasons for education costing so much now is administrative bloat. A lot of it has to do with all the regulations they must follow — you need someone to make sure the rules are being followed.
I’m reminded of that famous graph still circulating that shows administration costs skyrocketing over time w/ educational achievement largely flat.
“Good lord. Not everything is meant to be racist, people. Give it a break for just one day, ok?”
Playing the victim, especially of racism, comes with some YUGE perks. That’s why so many people risk faking it constantly – Go Juicy Smolliet the French actor and Duke Volleyball girl whose aunt is a racist politician hack! – and even get away with it once we know they faked it.
Faking it for pure reasons. Alls forgiven.
Are we still doing “fake but accurate?”
Ignore what really is going on, and believe my reality!
Isn’t that the while point of the left?
Jesus, every single thing that Chapek guy is weird as saying I’m the article is either a lie, or describes the left better than the right in this situation.
“He said that his employees view the company as “a very cohesive, big, happy family.”
Happy family are well known for being hotbeds of political activism and forcing your views on everyone else.
OFFS that story is pushing the limits of peak derp.
But it’s chick-fil-a so I imagine they have to deal with shit like this a lot because wrongthought.
I dunno, this one seemed like a racial comment, assuming the employee could tell what race the customer was. Maybe not malicious, but obviously pretty dumb. The dogpiling is tiresome. One guy at a company of hundreds of thousands fucked up, the company said sorry. Time to move on.
It’s entirely possible they meant “your community” as in “your local community” not “your racial community”. If they’re like most restaurants, they probably have regional and time-limited menu items.
On the other hand, they have meant “your community” as in “the black community” without any racist overtones, since failing to acknowledge the “black community” is also racist. Basically, there’s no possible win here when chicken is supposed to be a racist dog whistle.
Other’s re-posted old tweets where they used the term “community” to plainly mean a geographic area.
I read it as the community of people who like spicy nuggets.
Here’s an idea. If something so incredibly minor is that pinnacle of racism today, then maybe we’ve won the battle against racism.
“Community” is the new “c” word, so feel free to go back to using the full version of the old “c” word.
It was a hell of a boat
So if you got the chance, would you stick it in this bitch or not?
She probably thinks that article is about her.
1. No
2. Harry Reid International Airport? What the fuck? They renamed McCarran airport after that asshole?
Upon further research it seems they just replaced one slightly less terrible Democrat with a more recent one. I assume the pattern will repeat in a few decades.
I can’t wait until the woke movement comes for Harry Reid and John Murtha… That’s a lot of money to rename all the shit those asshats named after themselves.
By 2035, you’ll be riding a unicycle out of AOC International Airport.
Checkout Mr. Outer Party here, with his unicycle privileges.
And with flying privileges.
The irony is that they renamed it because Pat McCarran was a racisty racist. So they renamed it after the guy who described Obama as “light-skinned, with no negro dialect.”
If you renamed everything in NV that had McCarran as it’s label, the whole damn state would be a mess.
No way, she’s way too crazy for how hot she is, and she’s barely that, maybe a (6,10)? No curves, or she’s hiding them, plus tons of makeup, so she’s probably not very cute once you wipe her mask off.
Yeah, for 28 she is 6 to 7, but with plenty of negative modifiers.
but more than 1,300 journalists are saying hell no, they won’t go.
Jayson Blair set a precedent.
Iran unveils Jew killing drone…
I bet you Hitler and his boys are all pissed they didn’t come up with that baby…
I’m guessing it has AI-driven long range yarmulke detection technologies.
I was thinking it detected the heat signals from exhalation from large noses.
I’ll see myself out.
Looks like Armenia and Azerbaijan are going to have another go. Last time Azerbaijan won with drones. Has Russia or Iran outfitted the Armenians with drones now? Will the Turks and Israelis help Azerbaijan again? Or are the Turks too busy getting ready for a war with Greece?
Sounds like the end of Soap.

True story – Hazelwood was my next door neighbor when I was growing up.
He ended up teaching Waterway Safety at Fort Schuyler (SUNY Maritime College) for a while.
In keeping with the Niels Bohr quote:
Waterway Safety? Is that some sort of euphemism for people that like to pee on each other?
Please ignore this…
China’s Coal Power Boom
Beijing is building more coal-fired capacity than the rest of the world combined, U.S. climate lectures notwithstanding
Maroon: This is why Americans, but especially Californians, should go back to living in caves!
China’s response is always, “Well you polluted the atmosphere for centuries. You gut your economy first and then we’ll follow suit. No, honestly. We promise.”
Our response to them…
I would imagine the party officials get together every evening over drinks and just laugh and laugh at what the west is doing.
Does anyone wonder how the usual morons that were all against GMO and pro organic fantasies will cope with shit like this? Eating crickets instead of meat seems to have also been very well received by these asshats…
Since you asked.
“We expect that by about 2028 to 2030, we will be at the same retail price to the consumer as milk, mostly because we come down in price but in part because there’s forecast continued inflation in dairy.”
Once the commies in government ban cows, or product will be very competitive, he added.
Funny how all the crap they peddle ALWAYS involves subsidies because the shit they want is neither competitive nor what customers would want.

Dilbert goes against ESG bullshit
I’ve been looking forward to this. He mentioned it weeks ago, but there is a lag between when he draws a strip and when it’s published. So far I like where he’s going with it.
We are so fucked
This and that story of teacher unions go hand in hand…
I’m going to take a wild guess that most of those 38% aren’t on the socon right.
I’m going to guess they are registered with the party of slavery.
This. Ask any partisan when they don’t get their way and you will get the same answer.
This seems to go along with the other poll that had 34% thinking PPP was doing great with the economy. Either brain dead morons or ones expecting to be on top after the Great Reset.
So glad all those “unappreciated” teachers obviously taught civics and not “How Western Civilization is So Danged Evil We Should Give Communism Another Chance — Not Enough Death Camps in the World!”.
Doesn’t help that many immigrants to this country, if not all, are ignorant of our system of government and why it works well.
Just get a monarch and be done with it. But not UCS anyone else
You don’t want a rat king.
King UCS would ban all spices. A dark world indeed.
And wear gloves at all times, sleeping gloves, shower gloves, reading gloves, etc
Well, that’s terrifying.
On the other side of the ledger, 24% of survey respondents strongly disagreed, 19% somewhat disagreed, and 22% said they weren’t sure.
So 43% disagree, more of them strongly disagreeing than those who strongly agreed..
A better way to ask the question would be to have a primer question earlier to sus out their leanings.
So find out if they are a Trump supporter. If so, ask if a president should be able to remove a guy like Sullivan who clearly blocked the release of a guy the government framed.
If they are a BLM type, see if they support the president removing a judge who granted qualified immunity to cops in a race case.
I bet that a carefully crafted set of questions would find the support of “get rid of the guy who hurt my side” is really high.
“He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.”
We miss the shackles and the yoke.
It’s necessary to save Our Democracy.
Is anyone else here tired of hearing idiots claim American democracy is under assault when we are NOT a democracy, by design, because democracy is a shitty system for the minorities in it?
The lesson they’re teaching is: Don’t be a minority. They better hope the nationalist right doesn’t figure that out, too.
Don’t be prey? Good luck to you predators.
Extra stupid given the nationalist right tends towards families and arming themselves while their “majority” is a death cult where only their stormtroopers and government thugs are armed. The math is bad for them if the minority gets fed up enough.
Yes. Beyond tired. Terry Flipping McGuiness Beyond tired.
what do you mean by minorities
The people that don’t agree with whatever passes for a majority on something or other…
Like 100 wolves and 99 sheep deciding on what’s for dinner.
BURN THE MAMMALS!
1 wolf, 99 sheep, same outcome
One of the more funny parts of that bit of idiocy is that when they say they love the will of the people and want direct democracy, if you point out CA’s referendum results such as gay marriage, affirmative action, etc, which are direct democracy, they freak out.
“We stuck together, made our strength and unity known, and it worked,” the Seattle Education Association tweeted. “Our solidarity on the picket lines and the enormous community support we received made all the difference.”

Body Composition Assessments are Less Useful Than You Think
Measuring body composition seems to be a mild obsession in the fitness community, but individual-level body composition assessments are far less useful than most people realize. In this article, we explain the issues and present a few alternative outcome measures that are more useful.
https://macrofactorapp.com/body-composition
I am more about bubble buttery and jugs…
‘With the BodPod, body volume is estimated based on air pressure changes within an enclosed chamber. With underwater weighing, density is estimated based on the Archimedes principle. ‘
After belaboring the difference between measurement and estimate earlier, you’d think they’d be more careful here. You can accurately calculate density using either of these methods, assuming your equipment is all calibrated.
And the Earth never recovered…

If I did drugs, I would want the ones this asshat is doing….
Crist is a sociopath who’ll say anything to get into office. Unfortunately for him, he’s not real good at picking the right words.
Hola do you do, fellow Latinxeses
Wow, I thought it was overblown I heard on the radio about this speech… And the commentators tried to say (on an alleged right wing channel) that he didn’t really compare himself to Jesus…. No, he definitely did.
‘Satan vs. Christ, we’re good, he’s bad…’ yes, the people thinking exclusively in black and white good vs. Evil dynamics will be the ones to unite us…. Sigh. And hell get close to 50% of the vote.
I used to think the right’s criticism of the left, especially the libertarian right, as being religious was overstating their case, outside the actual crazies. Well, I shouldn’t have been so skeptical, apparently.
“You have a divider over there, and a uniter over here. Do you know some people call him De-Satan?”
It’s right out of Biden’s playbook.
So close to the goal he could smell it?
I hate the way the word “Community” has been warped.
It was the dark elf episode wasn’t it?
They hate America
Nearly half of the country’s governors have signed off on a letter to President Joe Biden asking him to withdraw his student loan forgiveness plan that would cancel up to $20,000 for federal aid borrowers.
“As governors, we support making higher education more affordable and accessible for students in our states, but we fundamentally oppose your plan to force American taxpayers to pay off the student loan debt of an elite few…” the governors said in a letter dated Monday.
——-
“College may not be the right decision for every American, but for the students who took out loans, it was their decision: able adults and willing borrowers who knowingly agreed to the terms of the loan and consented to taking on debt in exchange for taking classes,” the letter states. “A high-cost degree is not the key to unlocking the American Dream—hard work and personal responsibility is.”
It further argues that it is unfair to those who previously already paid off their student loans.
The governors also expressed concern that the forgiveness plan could encourage higher education institutions to drive up their costs, and therefore worsen inflation.
“Rather than addressing the rising cost of tuition for higher education or working to lower interest rates for student loans, your plan kicks the can down the road and makes today’s problems worse for tomorrow’s students.”
Fairness is only a legitimate argument when Democrats are using it.
When you believe in wealth redistribution, you sell it by claiming you are robbing the rich to give to the poor – cause every loser loves that shit – then you give the idiots that support that idiocy a real doozy when you really rob the less well off to buy votes from the rich ideocracy.
The reality of a skirmish in modern war, filmed from above
I think we get this unrealistic view from movies that every soldier is incredibly heroic.
As one of my favorite Brits said “I’ve never fired a shot in anger….blind, pissing fear, sure!”
We also get the mistaken impression that a single skirmish is particularly meaningful in a war being fought along a 1,000 miles of “fronts”. Obviously meaningful to the men risking their lives, but in wars that large, it is a matter of math, not heroism.
It takes courage just to take the first step in that kind of crazy mission – crossing open fields where the enemy has unlimited artillery zeroed in before trying to assault fixed positions if you live that long.
That shelling looks exactly like the only Monty Python sketch “how not to be seen”.
First rule, do not stand up.
Second rule, do not pick an obvious hiding place…

this individual obviously has no taste
I’ve never had 95%, but 85% is delightful.
Overall I prefer the 90 over both but I take anything from 80 to 95 chocolate wise. More than 95 is too much, less than 80 is meh
Bah. At that level, the taste becomes less intense, because there’s not enough charge carries for your taste receptors to fully function.
My wife’s family sends us 100% cacao made from a tree in their yard. She uses it to make their version of hot chocolate and chocolate rice pudding. It is too strong to eat directly.
I ate roasted cocoa beans ok but not great
roasted, ground and dried
That person should stick to Pixie Stix and leave the proper chocolate for the adults.
Milk chocolate? Hershey’s? Reeses?
I think the Bee did a spoof on this topic, 101% cocoa.
Lindt is okay as mass market chocolates goes, but they still source their cacao from the worst regions.
Go get yourself some good chocolate.
U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona told NPR in August the forgiveness plan was birthed largely from a way to undo the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and will boost the economy as a result.
EDUCATION
Education Secretary Cardona explains Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan
“Everyone knows someone that’s struggling post pandemic,” he said. “And, you know, if we help folks in the communities so that they – reduce the chances of them going into default, everybody wins. It helps the economy.”
Why only ten grand? Let’s give everybody $100k of fun money. That’ll stimulate the bejeezis out of the economy.
‘Probably reduced inflation too,’ she added.

wherever does this climate stress come from?
Not getting laid enough.
I could use some climate stress service. My thermostat went out last night.
This should be treated like any other mental illness, as their concerns are not legitimate.

Remember that insane article Forbes published that they took down yesterday? It looks like an earlier version is still here:
https://www.losangelesblade.com/2022/09/11/california-ex-trans-teen-is-national-right-wing-medias-darling/
Anyway, I found an interesting article about its insane author:
“ABC producer who changed gender three times is fired weeks after latest transformation for ‘performance-related issues'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2660073/ABC-producer-changed-gender-3-times-fired.html
When the drive is to find lunatics for hire and then make it next to impossible to fire them, this is what you get.
I don’t think that person actually works for Forbes.
“Switching” gender three times and then attacking someone for detransitioning is pretty ballsy.
Or not, maybe, who knows?

I think that is a falsey claim.

Antifa organize to shut down ‘transphobic’ lesbian rally in England
Normally I hate it when people call the left’s rhetoric “dumb” when it’s clearly intentional and effective, but damn this circular firing squad is dumb.
I’d normally make a flippant comment on how I enjoy seeing my enemies eat each other but that doesn’t apply to this scenario.
OFFS. Stop the world, I want off.
I had to read this a few times to allow the stupid to fully sink in:
I remember when “I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body” used to be told as a joke.
I remember when
I think that was yesterday.
That is kinda full circle… The original Trans woman was Dr. Renee Richards, who, as far as I know, was attracted to women.
I used to do that comedy bit about her… It seems a perfectly obvious avenue of thought. In fact, it is so obvious that not doing something with it seems odd.

Jean-Luc Godard, the ingenious “enfant terrible” of the French New Wave who revolutionized popular cinema in 1960 with his debut feature Breathless and stood for years as one of the world’s most vital and provocative directors has died. He was 91.
Swiss news agency ATS quoted Godard’s partner, Anne-Marie Mieville, and her producers as saying he died peacefully and surrounded by his loved ones at his home in the Swiss town of Rolle, on Lake Geneva, on Tuesday.
French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to Godard as “the most iconoclastic of the New Wave directors” who “invented a resolutely modern, intensely free art form.”
Maybe I’ll watch one of his movies if I can find one.
Why is a Start Trek The Next Generation actor doing this sort of shit?
I was thinking you meant Jean Luc Bussard — but the Grim Reaper already collected him.

Arrests of protesters prompt free-speech concerns
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62883713
Ruth Smeeth, chief executive of Index on Censorship, said the arrests were “deeply concerning”, adding: “We must guard against this event being used, by accident or design, to erode in any way the freedom of expression that citizens of this country enjoy.”
I wonder what her thoughts were re: Canadian truckers.
or actually in England when you go to jail for a tweet
They shouldn’t be arresting anyone for speech but they’ve been going after right wing speech for a while there. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander and maybe they’ll realize censorship and speech laws are piss poor ideas.
‘de-arrested’?
Okay.

How did humans survive before the Age of Expert-ism?
As heat waves get more frequent, longer and more intense with climate change, disaster experts say the country’s current heat warning system is falling short. Many heat waves are deceptively deadly, but traditional weather forecasts often don’t capture the full extent of the risk.
——-
For many, heat is all too common in the summertime and seems like more of a nuisance than a real danger. But climate change is making heat waves hotter, longer and more frequent.
“These are outside of people’s envelope of experience and they don’t expect them,” says Ann Bostrom, professor of environmental policy at the University of Washington. “So in those kinds of contexts, it’s very difficult for people, understandably, to understand the risks they’re exposed to.”
In addition to the heat index, the National Weather Service releases an “excessive heat warning” when a heat wave gets dangerous. But critics say that language is too general and not specific enough for vulnerable groups.
Be afraid. Of everything.
They need to start naming heat waves to get the same impact as hurricanes and storms on land.
Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun has been a thing since at least Kipling’s day and I’m pretty sure from even before so this is nothing new.

Fresh clashes break out on Armenia-Azerbaijan border

exactly what those functional prosperous countries needed right now… I assume Azerbaijan thinks Russia is too distracted to support Armenia like last time.
Fetterman is winning because of his appearance, not his Democratic Socialist positions. He was elected Lt. Gov. with Gauleiter Wolf because of his tuff gai image. What had he done: supposedly he “cleaned up” Braddock, PA, a town of – get this – 1,721 people according to latest census. But he appeals to the rough and tumble blue collar element that used to, and will again, vote Democratic. Plus he has all the Philly and Pittsburgh machine votes and the suburban elites who would not be caught dead voting Republican. So Fetterman easily crushed his primary opponent, Connor Lamb, a Beto or Buttgagi- type dude. Then the GOP primary picks Dr. Oz – very susceptible to carpetbagger and tv huckster charges. Oz gets Trump’s endorsement and narrowly wins by a plurality over several other candidates who split the sensible GOP vote. It should prove entertaining when Sen. Blutarsky goes to Washington and “makes them listen” (while meekly supporting everything his Democrat colleagues want him to support.)
Ties to show how dumb a majority of this country is.
Goes* damn phone
Fetterman pulled a shotgun on a black jogger while mayor. No worries though.
Fetterman or Oz has to win – that’s the sad part. PA is fucked either way.
Having heard the last couple of times he spoke in public, there is something seriously wrong with him. That stroke left him with lasting problems; while the DNC has become very good at hiding that stuff (see: Poopypants, President) I don’t know how much longer he’ll last.
He might not even get that far…either he gets elected and then bows out for medical reasons, allowing Wolf to appoint a replacement, or, if his polling is strong enough, the party pulls him in a Lautenberg-like switcheroo at the last minute.
“I know I’m really going to struggle when he does meet his future wife. Not only will I have to move out, but I won’t be his number one priority then.”

Sleazy is the name of the game
After nearly two years of watching Joe Manchin tank some of their biggest priorities, House progressives finally have sway over one of his. And they have every intention of using it.
Dozens of House Democrats are now threatening Manchin’s proposal to streamline energy project permits — even if it breaks a commitment that paved the way for the party’s massive climate, tax and health care victory earlier this summer. Now that President Joe Biden has signed that legislation into law, House liberals insist they have the numbers to at least force a negotiation on a Manchin side deal they see as too fossil fuel-friendly.
Led by Natural Resources Committee Chair Raúl Grijalva, many of those progressives are ready to take a stand: Dozens are leaning on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to separate this month’s must-pass stopgap funding bill from the Manchin-crafted permitting measure that she and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had already agreed upon.
“This is a tale of two houses,” said Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), slamming Schumer and Manchin’s agreement to take up permitting reform in exchange for his vote on the party-line bill as a “sleazy backroom deal.”
Back room deals are only sleazy when we don’t get our way. Eco-absolutists will lie cheat and steal to get what they want, and don’t you forget it.
Manchin’s ultimate ace in the hole is to change to GOP and tell Schumer he’s no longer Majority Leader.
Wow, are you saying you can’t trust leftists to keep up their side of the bargain?
So today, it’s been 20 years for me and Mr Mojeaux. I know around here and at church we’re not special, but it seems the rest of the world is determined to think being married 20 years is unachievable.
Congratulation for not killing one another for this long. By this age, any murderous rage should have subsided so the risk in the future should be very low indeed.
Never murderous rage. We’re mostly on the same page all the time, except for his inexplicable hatred of pickles and chicken gizzards.
It sounds like he has great taste. In food and women. 😉
Congrats!
Fie upon you sir! Do not besmirch the gizzard of the chicken!
I teethed XX on chicken gizzards.
Actually, I don’t hate pickles, I hate dill pickles. Or anything with dill in it.
And truth be told, I’ve never tried chicken gizzards. 😏 I just assume I wouldn’t like them.
Friday the 13th wedding? Did you dress in theme?
Yes, Friday the 13th, and no, no weird theme. Our colors were red-orange-yellow, though.
I chose Friday the 13th because I wanted to dare the universe to come after us. Well, it rose to the occasion, but the marriage is still intact.
If Jason’s mother hasn’t got you yet …
Congrats, Mo!

Congratulations to the both of you.
Congratulations. That is no easy feat. We’ll be married 24 years in February.

Flashback to middle/high school, there. And Julianne torpedoed her career with her actual acting jobs. A pretty sock puppet.
The West Virginia centrist said he understands if House Democrats are still steaming over the downsizing he exacted upon their original party-line domestic agenda. Yet liberals across the Capitol vow their opposition to his plan is not retribution for two years of Manchin-induced headaches — from his reshaping of the $1 trillion-plus Build Back Better bill into the smaller Inflation Reduction Act, to the House’s forced swallowing of last year’s bipartisan infrastructure bill, derided by some on the left as basically a Republican effort.
Instead, House Democrats say it’s all about what they see as an environmentally hazardous permitting deal that undercuts some of the climate provisions they won in this summer’s new law.
Still, a few Democrats admit they’re relishing their chance to hold some leverage over the West Virginian.
“It’s about time,” quipped retiring Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), who joined about 70 Democrats in urging party leadership to keep Manchin’s bill separate from government funding.
We’re not trying to punish him for being a traitor to the True Faith.
They really want to people to freeze and starve.
How should you breathe while lifting? A new study by Blazek et al. compared how multiple breathing techniques affect 1RM bench press strength:
– The Valsalva maneuver (VM): breathing in deeply while lowering the weight and then exhaling against a closed glottis while pushing. In other words, you keep the air tight inside you until you’re past the hardest part of the lift.
– Holding your breath: similar to the VM but without inhaling extra air before you stop exhaling.
– Lung packing (PAC): this is like an ultra-VM where you swallow in extra air multiple times to really stuff your lungs before the lift.
– Reverse breathing (REVB): breathing in when pushing up the weight and out when lowering the weight.
The general trend was that reverse breathing decreased performance, while all the techniques that involved holding your breath during the push were effective. This means we intuitively tend to breathe properly.
The Valsalva maneuver and lung packing showed a trend to make the lift the most effortless: they decreased the time spent in the sticking region. These techniques increase intra-abdominal pressure by making us hold extra air in our lungs and keeping that pressure inside us until we’re past the hardest part of the lift.
Is this still being debated?
well the evidence based fitness community is trying to get all sorts of studies together to confirm things
All 3 of them….
I really wish “evidence based” was more highly valued in the world. My alma-mater has a top flight medical school.. and their athletes regularly show cupping bruises.
Good lord, it is embarrassing.
Even getting medical doctors to rely on rigorous evidence is tough. I don’t know how a personal trainer is supposed to do it, being innundated with bogus studies all the time.
There are a lot of people who listen to content like that, I think the bioneer? And one guy who makes funny and informative videos, but I forget his name…
youtube is one thing, research is another
bioneer I ignore as I cannot take seriously anyone who uses the phrase functional fitness unironically.
there are a bunch of youtubers and a bunch of reaserchers.
Lol.
Step 1: Leave the lab.
Step 2: Go to gym.
Step 3: Identify the strongest people.
Step 4: Ask them what they do.
Step 5: Profit!
I usually do the “right” way on things like bench.
I also use a rowing machine pretty often, and have to reverse it – I don’t know if the rowing world considers this right or not. But on the return stroke, your abdomen gets all crunched up and so inhaling then just doesn’t “work” for me. So I inhale on the power stroke.

Wow. Keep an eye on skyrocketing food costs.
“The food index increased 11.4% over the last year, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending May 1979.”
https://twitter.com/byHeatherLong/status/1569666346845093890
Here inflation is officially 15%… But since going back to the office, for food at the cafeterias near my office building or how you would call it is at least 25% more expensive
And they are saying we have just started.
Milk was approaching $5.00 a gallon last time I was at Publix (that commodity is normally an Aldi purchase). That is not 8% per year. That is pretty close to 100%.
And I am not aware of any crises in the dairy industry that explain it.
This article tries to blame it on Ukraine and wheat.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/18/business/dairy-farmers-food-inflation/index.html
I just don’t buy it at all. How much of the US dairy production is dependent on wheat? And how fungible is wheat? Transportation costs have to be high for global markets, meaning a local bias.
Yeah, I don’t buy that. Corn, sure, but I don’t think there is a lot of wheat feed in the raising of dairy cattle.
I bought milk once at Publix, strangely the all organic milk was actually cheaper than the ‘regular’milk. We go through 3+ gallons a week, so it’s kind of a burden.
The road to an eventual permitting law is still looking bumpy, with some of the nation’s most vocal environmental groups galvanized into their own missives opposing what they called a “fossil fuel wish list” that would perpetrate “environmental racism,” among other effects. Some climate activist groups have already staged protests.
Eco-absolutists grasp at straws. When everything is racism, nothing is racism.
“environmental racism”
I really don’t have much to say to them at this point other than “Fuck off and die.”
There’s no point arguing with them. This is going to come down to a battle of wills.
I had a mandatory english course in 2005 on environmental justice, taught by a black woman adjunct. I got an A so it wasn’t yet full-on.
Looking back I can easily see how the seeds were planted. It’s obvious now. It was sneaky.
These words confuse and frighten me.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in an interview that a report about former President Trump insisting that he would stay in the White House after losing the 2020 election “affirms the reality of the danger” of trying to overturn its results.
A new book to be published next month by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman reportedly reveals that Trump told aides he would remain in the White House after President Biden’s inauguration, CNN reported early Monday.
“I’m just not going to leave,” Trump reportedly told an aide. “We’re never leaving. How can you leave when you won an election?”
When asked about the book’s revelation, Cheney said she wasn’t surprised by Trump’s reported comments but said it exposed an issue of people believing his efforts to overturn the election “wasn’t as dangerous as it really was.”
We need a justice system based on third hand beauty salon gossip. That will show the world who we really are.
An anonymous source has said what I want to believe. What more proof do you need?
Maybe he said it and maybe he didn’t. But he did leave, and wasn’t dragged out by US Marshals.
They are more concerned about mean tweets and what they imagined could have happened if they went authoritarian.
It’s like when your wife dreams you cheated on her.
Ben Olds has that covered.
Damn, do I love that album.
No, they are more concerned with firing up their base.
Let’s pretend Trump physically remained in the White House past Inauguration Day and the rioters on 1/6 grabbed control of the Capitol. Does anybody believe that it would mean that they were in charge of the government? Congress could meet in a high school gym and it would still be Congress. And without weapons, how would the rioters have held the Capitol?
Blood test to screen for cancers early shows promise in early study
How many in the control group had the same extensive testing performed and then they found cancer?

That would be great teevee.

“I Don’t Want American Kids”
“Being American-born and raised to American parents is now a major risk factor for bad outcomes,” Dr. Sax said. “Being American-born and raised to American parents is a major risk factor for anxiety, depression, disengagement from school non-suicidal self-injury and many other bad outcomes, being children of immigrants and not speaking English at home now predicts good outcomes.”
If they really want to have good outcomes for their kids they should learn about correlations, causation, and spurious relationships first.
I am sure there are no confounders in those conclusions
Seems she’s well on her way with the multiple uses of the phrase “raised to American parents.” Raised by or born to would make sense. Raised to is retarded.
not speaking English at home
Good news. Based on the latest student assessments, fewer children are speaking English.
Does Ebonics count?
People who speak Ebonics are not interested in white privilege concepts like predicting future outcomes.
We poured shit ideas into a whole generation of Americans, so this isn’t exactly surprising. I ended up with a foreign wife in part because things are not normal out there.
“And when you hear something like that, I think you have to recognize that we were in no man’s land and territory we’d never been in before as a nation,” Cheney told anchor Jake Tapper in an interview set to air Sunday evening as part of a CNN documentary titled “American Coup: The January 6th Investigation.”
It’s good to see CNN has dialed back the partisan hysteria. William Randolph Hearst would approve.
Tapper, that lying sack of shit.
I would love to get him on video in a room with RFK Jr so I could watch him get verbally torn to shreds.
This one is not even partisan.
We used to say “there is not a dimes worth of difference” between the two parties.
There was a reason.. they had their wedge issues, but the real objective was to see who gets to direct the lions share of the pork and therefore recieved the lions share of the payoffs.
Trump did not play that game. He disrupted carefully balanced corporatist schemes. That is why Never Trump Republicans are of one mind with progressives. That is why Barr blocked any investigation of the FBI/CIA actions… Quietly.
They all protect their own. And they protect the gravy train.

Just don’t call it coerced assimilation
The New York State Board of Regents is expected to vote Tuesday on proposed rules requiring private schools to comply with the state’s minimum academic standards.
The vote will follow an alarming New York Times investigation on Hasidic Jewish Schools, which found, for example, more than 1,000 students at the Central United Talmudical Academy in Brooklyn took standardized tests in reading and math and 100 percent of the students failed.
The report underscores a years-long tug of war between proponents of Jewish religious education, and those who feel there should also be a secular component of basic, non-religious education.
——-
The mayor was talking about stunning findings by the New York Times that the vast majority of students at New York yeshivas are unable to pass standardized tests given to public school students. The report found that 99 percent of the thousands of Hasidic boys who took the standardized tests in math and English in 2019 failed, and 80 percent of Hasidic girls failed.
The findings come as the state Board of Regents met Monday to discuss a new regulation is which Hasidic schools, yeshivas, could lose public funds if they fail to provide students with a basic secular education.
The ruling is expected Tuesday and could mean the loss of $1 billion in funding over five years for the state’s 160 yeshivas, 102 of which are in New York City.
“The chancellor has made it clear that we’re going to make sure every child receives a quality education in the city,” Adams said.
Not mentioned: scores for students at Bedford Stuyvesant.
New York Times investigation
Well, that’s authoritative.
Well I guess they found their example after relentless searching.
Whatever, that does seem pretty bad. I would have expected better.
It does.
Although it turns out these schools produce people who are more overall successful in life (financially at least) by a large margin.
So is the school a failure or the metric used to evaluate the schools a failure?
The Board of Regents’ ruling will follow a politically charged debate that was touched off when the group Young Advocates for Fair Education filed a complaint with the city that dozens of yeshivas were graduating students who couldn’t read and write English. The group’s then executive director, Naftali Moster, told Kramer in 2017 that he was a victim of poor secular education in Hasidic schools.
Couldn’t read and write English? I thought that was a powerful indicator of future life success.

My wife is a Goldman executive, and for the return to work they tried all sorts of bribery to get people to come back in.. including lavish paid lunches each day.
Finally they gave up and just made it that you have to come back in or you get fired.
That mostly worked. Some turnover, of course, but it was probably going to happen anyway.
