That’s all I for for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
What’s so great indigenous people?
Today is supposed to be a company holiday. It was on the list as “Indigenous People’s Day.” I thought, “It’s really Columbus Day”.
I’m going to work most of it.
But… work only after I get back from the gym. I slept in today.
The real Columbus Day is Wednesday.
I was completely unaware this was Columbus Day. It’s also Canadian Thanksgiving. So happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian neighbors.
I second your wishes, but I haven’t seen any of them yet this morning. Maybe they’re all working.
*sensible chuckle*
They are likely spending the day preparing their feast of Canadian bacon, poutine, Kraft Dinner, and maple syrup.
With an All-Dressed Ruffles crumble over the Dinner.
Replying to the dedthred…GT, you have excellent taste. The guitar I’m looking at is a Taylor 812ce-N.
👍🏼👍🏼 To be fair, it’s TT who has excellent taste. (Case in point: he married me! 😁)
It’s Sukkot at my company – two days off. Or, as they call it, “[Company] Holiday 2”.
“[Company] Holiday 3” is next Mon. and Tue. 🙂
I worked for a Jewish-owned company (mezuzah on every door frame in the office). They went with no official holidays so people can take time off for what matters to them.
Secret libertarians
They know where the tourist traps are?
How long ago must your ancestors have arrived to be “indigenous”? Because the American Indian’s ancestors migrated to North America too.
Normal definition or woke definition? By normal definition my children are indigenous to my county.
Stolen landz!
Yeah, sure. If you go back far enough EVERYONE is living on “stolen land”. So what?
The Irish, Swedes, and English aren’t “indigenous” enough in their native lands and have to be replaced.
The English are the result of waves of invaders. The Irish, well they are relatives of the people that once controlled most of Western Europe. Give it back.
Western Europe lives and breathes at 45 degrees?
The beds aren’t burning cuz there’s no fuel.
Burn Midnight Oil until we have a solution?
Just to be on the safe side, I have filled out every census in which I have been forced to participate as a “non-indigenous native American.”
I prefer to call them Siberian Americans.
This is my approach as well.
They hate it, which makes it more yummy.
If any Siberian Americans give you shit for just being Euro descendant, remind them of how many Cherokee plantation owners had black slaves. That usually shuts them up. (Fun fact: last Confederate general to surrender in the Civil war was a Siberian American. Stand Watie.)
“Seven days of mayhem: Random killings expose lethality of Democrat crime policies”
When do the bombings start? Also, where muh quaaludes?
Yeah, it won’t truly feel like the seventies again until the return of regular terrorist bombings.
Tyson can pound chickensand. They are advertising they have jobs available, but only for people who are fully vaxxed. Sounds like a recipe for unwanted turnover, to me. Plus, their factories are some of the stinkiest places on earth
I guess they were large enough to pull it off, but AFAIK the other major meat producers could not pull off mandates because the workers told them to fuck off. You know, the same people who were first in line for corona waves.
Fleeing the 5th best place to live in America? Crazy!
I can safely cross off any urban area when ranking best places to live.
Then how will we know when, how and why to panic?
Keep being afraid, just trust us on this.
/CDC
It will be a focused released on a different timeline to provide the maximum fear. Sorta like when it’s normal rains it’s 6″ but hurricane it’s 1/2 foot.
The clergy will tell you what to fear and how to repent.
Daily reports were bullshit anyway. They always spikes after a weekend, because numbers weren’t reported during weekends. The effect was even more pronounced after a long weekend. These just gave the media a opportunity to hype up the “growing numbers” and “grim milestones”.
Would you believe it if I told you the head of a major U.S. teachers’ union was in Ukraine for some reason? But no worries…she’s on the case and will investigate posthence

She’s the worst.
There is a case to be made that she is literally the worst.

Wow, there are no other words besides fucking cunt.

If this was some devious plan by Biden to get her to stay in Ukraine, he might get my vote.
Good, I hope the auto market craters. I’m shopping for a small SUV in the near future. I ain’t paying msrp or above.
My sister just paid MSRP + $6,000 for a new Honda Odyssey. That was the best she could get after haggling at three dealerships. None of the three actually had any inventory, but the dealership she bought from is expecting to get a single Odyssey in later this month, which is now hers.
She also looked at slightly used Odyssey instead, but I think it was only $2k less than going new, even at MSRP+.
“She also looked at slightly used Odyssey instead, but I think it was only $2k less than going new, even at MSRP+.”
Yikes!
I believe I’ve heard similar from the lending folks at the CU where I work – if not used at the same or higher price than new because you can actually get the car now.
I do know we’ve sold repo’d cars at auction for more than the delinquent member owed, so we have to send them the difference.
I’m thinking Q1 of next year will be a good time.
“Our current misleading information policies cover: synthetic and manipulated media, COVID-19, and civic integrity,”

In a lot of districts a bag of rocks could win if it had a “D” after its name. Most people who vote don’t really pay attention to anything else.

I didn’t know Biden was up for re-election this year.
I couldn’t stomach any more of that article but I guess we’ll find out in a few weeks if their strategy of harping on abortion while the electorate has expressed bigger concerns over real issues will work.
The now living ghoul, Reason fave, and NY’s third senator Wyden is running on government should never be able to control a woman’s body after two and a half years of supporting exactly that.
Literally every Dem ad here is about abortion.
The much less frequent GOP ads are about the economy, Kathy Korruption, etc.
Who cares if you can’t afford food as long as you’re able to kill fetuses. Priorities matter you know.
We’d have more food if we could kill more fetuses.
A swift solution to the crisis.
Same here in Nevada. The Dems are hanging their fallopian tunes on that issue. Like Stinky states, who cares if eggs are $5/dz or gas is $5.00/gal….the Repubs are taking away health care for women (granted some of them truly are going the extra mile to confirm stupid party status).
“Fallopian Tunes: a Conception of Music” is the name of our new album
Sadly, many Rs have a policy, or have made statements suggesting, no abortions, period, even for cases of rape. That might actually scare some people to go D.
That’s being hammered heavily in ads in PA
Yes, and all the Dem ads here (in NY!) are tying every GOP candidate to that.
It’s batshit insane.
Yup. It’s disgusting. Democrats are suddenly for body autonomy. Shoving those vax mandates under the rug.
Women vote stupidly.
Seriously, if you look at detailed exit polls, you’d see that if not for women’s suffrage, conservative/libertarian candidates and laws/measures would always win.
Because most people will never do an honest self appraisal and see their own beliefs and feelings leading to the current situation. Delusion and self denial are powerful drugs.

In his next “tsunami of truth,” Moore reminded readers that despite all the ways that the media tends to make the American right seem massively powerful, they’re really just a big bunch of losers.
He’s right, but of course drawing the wrong conclusions.
“Russia strikes Kyiv, multiple Ukrainian cities; many dead”
Is that de-Nazification or liberation?
“Tyson Foods latest large business to flee Chicago”
Not to worry, the Mayor made a Tik-Tok about how wonderful the city is!
De-Nazilibercation.
It’s a CIA-led couo.
The west made Russia do it.
That should be “coup”, of course.
“coop”
I thought it was a Cuomo.
Had a vivid dream that we nuked Moscow. Woke up glad to see the world is just regularly shitty.
Our baseline sucks
Doesn’t come across in Western media but the Russians have been very legalistic about this whole conflict. (Putin went to law school) The bridge bombing has them shifting gears into terrorist attack response response mode.
Oh certainly…hadn’t hurt a fly, harmed a civilian, stolen a matchstick or broken as much as a streetlight before a bridge got hurt…then it’s “Die, granny, die!”
Poor misunderstood liberators.
Not exactly. But they have done very little to permanently destroy infastucture until now. People on both sides are surprised that Ukrainian roads and railroads being used for logistics have not been heavily targeted. That’s probably due to Putin’s legal restrictions.
You well and truly can’t make this shit up…
Former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, 2 others share Nobel Prize in economics
“However, we have managed subsequent financial crises better thanks to research insights from this year’s laureates.”
He said without evidence.
If by “managing better” you mean putting all of the central banks at risk of default and enriching the oligarchs at the expense of the poor and the middle class, then it’s a true statement.
However, we have managed subsequent financial crises better thanks to research insights from this year’s laureates.
By managed better do you mean not as intrusive as the Democrats wanted? Well COVID blew that lid.

Morning y’all!
I hope it’s a good week. I started lifting at the local rec center, because its close to my house, but they only have 1 power rack and 2 benches. Guess what was being used all morning by other people? So that was irritating. I really need to join the real gym, but its across town which means I cant just roll out of bed and be there. Also means a longer drive to work, so I have to wake up earlier to get the same workout in. First world issues, I guess.
Didn’t pay attention to politics all weekend, is everything still screwed? [Checks links] Of course it is.
I’m not as into working out as the GlibFits. Walking is the extent of my normal activity but at least it is right out the door. I try to get at least 5 miles each day. Not difficult with the current fall weather.
Nice, walking/running is probably my least favorite activity. I’m not a power lifter by any stretch. I was big into it in high school/college, but got lazy and fat. Wife and I put on some pounds with the little cowpoke and everything that comes with it, and now we’re trying to get in shape. I want him to have a dad when hes older, and I want to be a good role model, and of course, be fit enough to chase him around and keep up with him as he learns sports
So, keto for the last month or two, and now I’m two weeks into Stronglifts 5×5 and having a good time doing it. I started at the bottom, since its been so long, but only place to go is up. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
I don’t mind lifting, but I hate working out. So, walking was always my favorite. But, with the current physical issues, it is a bit of a chore. I have started riding a adult tricycle around, trying to work on my balance for getting back on a real bicycle, which is even better.
But, fuck running.
My wife also doesn’t care for walking. I tried to get her to walk with me but she doesn’t care to go regularly. She prefers going to the gym for exercise classes. Maybe I can hook up with the hot, young woman that walks by our house regularly. She lives a few houses down the street.
Maybe I can hook up with the hot, young woman that walks by our house regularly.
Extra bonus: Dodging rusty tin can lids is a great cardio workout.
Hit Craigslist or (ugh) Facebook Marketplace, you can pick up a bench, a bar and some plates for a song.
Thats the plan for the future, go ahead and get my own power rack, olympic bar, and weights. Space is the issue right now. I’m in the process of getting a minisplit for the garage, and transforming it into the home theater/office/workout space, but its 6+ months out considering all the work that needs to be done. So in the meantime I have to schlepp it over to the gym
He seems nice.

Mornin’, new dad! Sleep much? 🍼🍼
See above, although it’s getting better. We have been splitting the babies up at night so that they don’t wake each other up, and that has reduced our waking time. The girl is sleeping as much as 5 hours at a time. The boy has reflux issues and has to be tended much more frequently, though, so we’re trading off.

Delaware vacates mail in voting and same day registration:
This 7th day of October, 2022, the Court has considered on an expedited basis
the parties’ briefs, the record on appeal, and the argument of counsel, and it appears
that:
1. The Vote-by-Mail Statute2
impermissibly expands the categories of absentee
voters identified in Article V, Section 4A of the Delaware Constitution.
Therefore, the judgment of the Court of Chancery that the Vote-by-Mail
Statute violates the Delaware Constitution should be affirmed.
2. The Same-Day Registration Statute3
conflicts with the provisions of Article V,
Section 4 of the Delaware Constitution. Consequently, the judgment of the
Court of Chancery that the Same-Day Registration Statute does not violate the
Delaware Constitution should be reversed.

LOL. Joe can’t even control the courts in his home state?

I read that article this morning. It’s insane, PayPal’s behaviors would be called theft. They are not a government and don’t have the power to “fine” me. I would imaging there is some weasel words written into a TOS that would allow this if they implemented it. Reminds me of this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ8VRO2m-ok
“Emboldened by a political class that pleads with them to be more controlling”. I wouldn’t be surprised if Paypal got the idea from a meeting with government officials. It’s just an extension of Operation Chokepoint.

Gun violence can be solved by removing guns.
Also, gun-free zone signs.
Russia unleashed a lethal barrage of strikes against multiple Ukrainian cities Monday, smashing civilian targets including downtown Kyiv where at least eight people were killed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the strikes were retaliation for what he called Kyiv‘s “terrorist” actions, including an attack last weekend on a key bridge between Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula that is prized by the Kremlin.
It is a war. All targets are relevant.
“In the Age of Quiet Quitting, I Was Quiet Suspended, And I Can’t Shut Up About It
On Toobin’s wake, professionalism, and the lessons I thought we learned in #MeToo
….
In case you’re wondering, as I did, how my punishment for tweeting about Toobin compares to Toobin’s suspension for his offense, I can tell you. He was off air for eight months; I was off for seven. One month was the difference between punishment for jacking off at work versus commenting on the inadvisability of jacking off at work.
On one hand, the people who made this call about me are gone from the network, so maybe I could let it lie. But on the other hand, many of my colleagues no doubt knew about my banning from air, but not the reasons behind it, thereby leaving the impression I must have done something tantamount to Toobining. I did not.”

Islamistsnazis.“Cause if Zelensky is truly fighting a defensive war in which Russia is throwing limited resources at it, it makes since to give them reason to escalate.“
I don’t think there’s any doubt the Ukes are fighting a defensive war. The Crimean bridge is a legit military target in a defensive war, as it is a vulnerable logistical choke point for the Russian invasion of southern Ukraine. I think the Russians have pretty much already escalated anyway, what with their mobilization and annexation of the Donbas. About the only thing left for the Russians to escalate to is nukes.
I get all that but can’t act surprised when Russia lobs the missiles they did in response

You just made the list buddy.
I’m probably on several by now.
Is that a declaration of war?
Because that’s how it seems to me.
Hmm. Illegal attempts to change the status of Ukrainian territory. Does orchestrating the overthrow of a duly elected government count, or does the offender need to march in and break off a chunk of Ukraine?
I’m not sure if the overt assholery of the councilwoman and her obvious hatred of all people or the shady backroom political carving of the city is worse.

Yes.
If you read David Cole over at Takimag (yes, yes, I know… he’s a little, er, blunt, shall we say, in his characteristics of demographics), the Latinos have been pushing out the blacks in and around LA for a couple of decades now. South Florida residents, who endured a couple of no-shit race riots as a result of Cuban-cop-on-black violence, can confirm that our Spanish-speaking neighbors from multiple points south have little use for American-born black people.
It’s a feint so they can make up some bs on Trump and say “See? We are just applying the law here.”
Apparently, someone in the FBI was frustrated enough that they leaked to the Washington Post that evidence supporting criminal prosecution of Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, has been submitted to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware in support of prosecution and that it was done some time ago.
The leaked allegation includes a prosecution recommendation for federal tax fraud in addition to charges related to alleged false statements relative to Biden’s purchase of a gun.
According to the Washington Post, federal prosecutors are carefully reviewing and weighing the evidence before going ahead with a decision to prosecute or quite possibly decline prosecution.
Is this normal and why is it taking so long? Is this a function of the political delicacy of possibly prosecuting the son of a sitting president?
A short review of the protocol for criminal tax prosecution recommendations might be informative.
I think that leak is why they trotted out Biden to announce the pardon of ‘simple MJ possession’ charges. Worked too…
Surveillance State USA… Biden quietly unleashes spymasters in dramatic Executive Order…
On Friday afternoon, Biden repealed an Obama Executive Order limiting spying on American citizens and foreign commerce.
Oh you mean this restriction was repealed?
That toes in nicely with Blinken’s comments above. They’re ripping the mask off, and shortly the glove will come off as well.
Here’s some Michael Yon if you want to go full controlled demolition of civilization.
Even if Congress was explicit that spying on US persons without probable cause was a felony, the people spying and the people who prosecute crimes are both corrupt.
I hope Biden managed to avoid drooling on the document that Susan Rice put in front of him…
Pretty sure everything they hand him at this point is printed on this stuff.

That’s about the only hope he has. If the prosecution or judge get complacent or tired of his shit and fucks up he at least has something to appeal. Of course, the appeal is limited to evidence and arguments presented in the original trial, so he’s still fucked in the long term.

However, it would be better to record the name and other identifying information about the contractor in the case something did go wrong.
“During a State of Emergency, working without proper licensure is a felony. ”
That is the part that is insane.
Absolutely
That’s fucking crazy.
I am so glad that I bought the new-to-me truck last January at a reasonable price and good interest rate.
Now that my daughter has returned my Xterra, we have four functioning vehicle clogging up the driveway. I am tempted to sell the Xterra and cash in on the craziness. But I also fear the future and think keeping them all is the best path forward.

Social justice is neither.
A quickie reaction to your last sentence: the way I explain it to people, the word “social” is a Boolean “not”. It literally reverses the meaning of what’s next. E.g. “social justice” is literally the opposite of justice; the “social gospel” is literally the opposite of the gospel.
My pastor yesterday: “If you are under 30, you are probably going to get upset at me today.”
Does your pastor have a newsletter to which I can subscribe?
Yes, probably.

Youtube channel is the best I can find.
Our “homework” for the week was to find someone of opposite political affiliation, take them to lunch, and listen.
I don’t think I can find an opposite, as that violated my first rule of libertarianism.
I’ve been told there’s Nazis everywhere.
Interesting about Tyson. I thought their main HQ was in Tennessee.
Several years ago there was a minor dustup at Tyson because they employed so many Muslims that they outvoted the “regular Americans” and got Eid-Al-Fir added to the company calendar paid days off, tanking Thanksgiving in the process.
Thanksgiving is what you get rid of? I would probably get rid of a good 6 before that one.

I think I’m gonna get some take out today. Local one is run quite well. Can be low carb friendly.
That’s not that far from me. I’ll try to get over there to check them out.
Do you know how hard it is for a woman to get an elective hysterectomy or even a medically necessary hysterectomy before she’s 40 or so? Very hard.
So a girl on r/trueoffmychest confessed that she needed one (medically necessary), but nobody would do it, so she went to a trans surgeon, told him she was trans, and got it.
Now, it’s reddit so here’s the salt box, but I can believe it.
I hope she was able to specify “You can skip the penis part.” 😳 (I almost typed “Hold the penis,” but then I remembered where I was.)
One surgery at a time, dear. 😉
I only hold one penis.
