The weeks between the CCGs and the Super Bowl always suck for sports. There’s nothing really to talk about. So I’ll just move on.
Robert Kelly
This is gonna lead to some pissed off people. Or were they pissed on? I can’t remember.
Nothing says “emergency” like a planned end date more than three months from now. One would almost be led to believe its all performative bullshit for political purposes.
And speaking of performative bullshit for political purposes… I’m sorry, but these kinds of NDAs aren’t all that uncommon and they aren’t anybody’s business aside from the participants. Is the act distasteful? Sure, I guess it is. But it’s nobody’s business.
Idiot
They aren’t gonna stop until they’ve stolen everything. And no, I don’t mean black people. I mean California politicians.
Oh look…a hypocrite. Why am I not surprised the most vocal advocates for “change” are nothing but NIMBYs after all?
I wish this had been in Buffalo. That would have made it perfect.
Strange that his party affiliation is never mentioned. I guess well never know. Also, why is this guy getting seven years instead of being chucked into a woodchipper?
Monkey business
These thieves aren’t monkeying around. No wait, they are. Jesus, Dallas Zoo. Get your shit together.
What an amazing song. An absolute masterpiece. And here’s another one. What a genius. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this bitter cold Tuesday, dear friends.
I’ve never been that thirsty.
Yeah, agree….
You’re talking about the alcohol-free Heineken ad featuring Ant Man before the Hendrix video, correct?
“alcohol-free Heineken”
Is that for black mormons?
” wish this had been in Buffalo.”
That’s what, a few dozen wings now?
The walls are still closing in.
It must have been a big room, maybe a convention center.
They’re border walls.
Those don’t work!
I’m sure all the Asians in California, especially in Silly Valley are going to be just thrilled with this premise.
One would think a specifically racially targeted confiscation by the government to redistribute to another group on racial lines would be illegal discrimination… but forget it, Jake… its Chinatown. Or South Africa… because that’s going so well with a similar premise…
The US tax code does not favor the wealthy: it favors the politically connected willing to pay for favors while grandstanding that they are fine with higher taxes.
There is a difference.
It does favor the wealthy though. Someone earning $300k a year via a W-2 pays more income tax (and payroll taxes) than someone who earns $300k a year passively through dividends.
But the income used to purchase the stock that draws dividends was already taxed.
Wages are just a return on investment in skills and education.
Yes, it is still taxed favorably.
*Income and wealth should not be taxed.
It’s being taxed a second time though. So if you compound it, it’s being taxed at a higher rate because of its diminished value when the stock was purchased.
They earned $500k, of which they got to keep $300k, which was then invested. The dividends on that are taxed again, which means it’s effectively taxed at a higher rate than the other guy who earned $300k working and pays income tax on it.
Fine. Set the corporate tax rate at zero and tax dividends as regular income.
I’m pretty sure “reparations” would run afoul of the equal protection clause, but I guess that’s superseded by the FYTW clause.
“Nothing says “emergency” like a planned end date more than three months from now. One would almost be led to believe its all performative bullshit for political purposes.”
If it was just performative, you might get away with being pissed at the bullshit, but this goes beyond performance to actually being nefarious in nature and part of an agenda to harm the US middle class in particular.
“Media reports say that the victim — a minor who was younger than 15 years old at the time — testified in court that he met the 45-year-old Jacob through Grindr, a dating app.”
How much younger? Anyway, parents should be paying more attention.
When you want “The cock”, parents are not gonna be able to block?
Didn’t somebody get a bunch of shit recently for suggesting Grindr was maybe being used to lure minors into sex?
Wouldn’t they have to sign up on their own?
Yes. And their parents need to do a better job monitoring what they do.
I was just remarking that someone recently caught shit for saying this could happen. And I’m irritated with myself because I can’t remember who it was and in what context.
For all we know some woke teacher showed him how.
“They aren’t gonna stop until they’ve stolen everything. And no, I don’t mean black people. I mean California politicians.”
Their ineptitude is sinking the ship, so in typical fashion of marxists and profiteers, the crooks are making sure they take all the valuables for themselves.
The two cited Federal Reserve data from 2019 that showed the average white household had $812,000 more than the average black household.
That’s some real fuckery using averages instead of medians.
The whole thing is kind of breathtaking. The looting is so brazen now, it’s applauded.
I can think of 4 or 5 white billionaires who would completely skew that average.
I’m doing my part to bring the average back down!
If the left would stop fucking around with the means of acquiring wealth, such as environmental laws that destroy industry, education reforms to help people out, etc., then they wouldn’t have to keep enacting laws to subvert the means of retaining and building that wealth for the AA community. Each time they lower lending standards, more and more black people are going to get screwed when the economy changes. There is a reason that Indian (red dot) and Asian people have done better even after discrimination and more recent immigration. They work to build wealth, as opposed to waiting for it to be handed to them.
Acquiring wealth is bad, mkay. Weren’t you all taught that your reward in heaven is where to put your riches? It still amazes me that no one understands how religious leftism really is.
dammit – no one ON THE LEFT
Dude, my mothers whole side of the family if from Berkeley. I know from religion.
Seriously, her aunt and uncle found it to conservative back in the fifties, and emigrated to East Germany.
“District funds were used to pay for the food, according to prosecutors, who did not reveal what became of the chicken wings.”
I guess we’ll never know.
Eating them is a clear violation of the WEF guidelines on eating decent food. No doubt they just buried them with full honors.
“Oh look…a hypocrite. Why am I not surprised the most vocal advocates for “change” are nothing but NIMBYs after all?”
Activists, in my experience, practically always are people doing what they do to make sure the impact of whatever idiocy they are peddling/demanding is felt by other people, and not them.
I suppose it never dawned on them that they could have spent some of their fortune acquiring the land themselves. Better to use the heavy hand of government to force the owners into using it in a way that doesn’t hurt their lifestyle.
Everyone who has property next to undeveloped land. “I’ve always loved the view from my house of wild flowers growing in the fields.”
Some liberal asshat in my town was all about how the town needed minority housing because the town was not diverse enough. So a bunch of people went to town and told the government they loved the idea but to build the facility right in that ultra-rich neighborhood where the cheapest houses started at over $750K that lib lady lived in. She dropped her crusade in the blink of an eye.
It’s like that woman years ago who supported Obamacare and then was “I didn’t think I would have to pay for it!”
I may be the only person who has actually attempted to buy an empty lot next to them to prevent development.
The guy wanted too much.
This was about 2008. I moved in 2014. Lat time I went by there, it was still an empty lot.
I bought an adjacent 40 acres that had a mobile home on it. Squatters had to move but stole the aluminum sidings off the mobile.
I’m glad I own it now as prices have shot up. I cleaned up the mess left from previous tenants.
Shit, it might have been better if they stole the whole mobile home.
How you doing these days 4×20?
Taking some time to figure things out but life goes on.
The impact of the public health emergency ending will come into clearer focus over the next three months, as different agencies in the federal government determine which related programs can be continued without the order in place — and how to unwind programs that can’t.
Huh. It’s all about the money.
Shit, these liars are just fucking shameless. Starting to freak out? I have been hearing people freak out for close to 18 months now about how bad things are and keep getting.
They freaked out so bad the page disappeared.
WATCHA TALKING ABOUT, WILLIS?
Willis can confirm. The page has vanished.
Works fine for me.
You are on the naughty list.
Like Blowfly says: Some of us are fuckers, and the rest are just fuckees….
It’s a stark turnaround from the second half of 2020, when Americans lifted the economy out of a
pandemicgovernment imposed downturn…
And they kept spending, helped by government stimulus, flush savings accounts and cheap credit,

Fuck stupid people.
‘whats wrong with them’
lol. I would have to assume they’re trying to truck-jack me, he had no choice but to drive away.
That’s how you get more of them.
LOL
Then the stupid people just fuck each other.
Nope. At that point, they are fucking us.
‘Nothing says “emergency” like a planned end date more than three months from now. One would almost be led to believe its all performative bullshit for political purposes.’
I saw the headline before your link, gotta agree. If you can tell when it is gonna end, it probably isn’t an emergency anymore.
They’re not going to end it.
We still have mohair subsidies that date back to WWI – so who knows, maybe some day that emergency will be over too.
Government run health programs?
“Why am I not surprised the most vocal advocates for “change” are nothing but NIMBYs after all?”
“I didn’t become a multi-millionaire because I wanted to stay in the projects.”
Delicious. You know most of the people objecting voted for the party that mandated low income housing in every neighborhood.
Meh, places like that have been zoned for millionaires for decades. They’re just substituting one form of “zoming” for another.
Oh look, another red line to break…
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-says-expedited-talks-f-16-jets-underway-germany-says-not-option
Biden figures the US government corruptocracy needs the f-16s for when the f-15 pilots stop flying out to bomb US citizens…
Why don’t we just give them back their nukes and get it over with?
Only seems fair since that’s the treaty Russia is breaking.
But Poland says “Fuck yeah! Let’s do it!”
https://news.antiwar.com/2023/01/30/poland-says-its-ready-to-send-f-16s-to-ukraine-in-coordination-with-nato/
Poland is playing some crazy games. Possible outcomes:
1. They keep all the tanks for themselves, cut a deal with the Russians to occupy and annex part of western Ukraine. A piece of Bismarck-like realpolitik that might turn out well for them.
2. They get themselves into a fight with the Russians without the rest of NATO. They become the next proxy war with Russia after the Ukraine runs out of men. Nothing good comes of it.
3. They start WWIII.
Based on the lunacy of their spokespeople like Applebaum, I’m going with 2 or 3.
I don’t think that’s likely at all.
Here’s an easy solution: if they want F-16s, or anything else, sell it to them. Key word: sell.
WarPigs: Fine. Ukraine, here is US taxpayer money for you to use to buy F-16s from the US.
^^^ this guy gets it ^^^
1. Give Keeeeev eleventy-billion dollars
2. Sell Keeeeeeev F-16s for 5 billion dollars
3. Profit
There is no step 4.
You forgot a step.
2(a): Keeeeeeev funnels umpteen billion dollars through offshore crypto exchanges back to DC pols and bureaucrats.
The pols I can buy, and maybe some think-tanks (holding the next round of admin appointees), but the bureaucrats aren’t in it for the lucre. You need to bring back the spoils system and cancel the civil service act for that.
4. F-16 are immediately shot down.
5. Give Keeeeev $300 billion to buy F-35s.
As long as The Big Guy gets his 10%, I’m sure it will be fine.
You only do that to an ally you don’t really like, you know, how FDR treated the Brits.
Oh, look who comes from the top rope with the morning humor.
Sell. Getta load a this guy!
Remember the question I had about training tank crews? That X [a very large number].
What good are fighters against missiles and drones?
F-16s are good at destroying missile batteries and enemy bases.
That sounds more like the jet in Zaxxon.

I spent so many hours of my childhood on that game. I regret nothing.
I thought France said these weren’t allowed to strike targets outside of Ukraine?
Good against remotes is one thing kid, against the living?
They can roll them down the Carpathians, pointed at mother Russia.
This is Joe Biden, so 100% sure they are getting F-16s.
“The Press Democrat reported that the victim said Jacob knew he was a minor, yet “touched him sexually” multiple times, sent him nude photos and invited “unknown men” to have sex with him.“
So, sex trafficking, then.
“Reports say the abuse took place in Jacob’s home in Sebastopol between December 2019 and March 2021.”
“I don’t think you’re coming out here for the hunting.”
Oddly, the sex of the victim is not mentioned. Grindr, so my working assumption is the ex-mayor is a gay pedophile.
They do. They say “he met Jacob” and refer to him as a male in the next sentence as well.
Read too fast. Needz moar covfefe.
Why are you assuming his gender?
Particularly for a minor, it is known how fluid gender is at that age.
*remembers what my sex drive was like when I was twelve*
*decides that restarting the age of consent debate is a bad idea*
‘And enjoy this bitter cold Tuesday, dear friends.’
Looks sunny and warm to me.
Houston must be in the 40s today.
Yup. 43 ° here on the southern edge of the Houston metro area. Probably even high 30s on the northern edge – sloopy & banjos would have to confirm.
It was 38° when I typed that. It’s a balmy 40 now.
There’s a fairly consistent 30 degree offset between Houston and Saratoga Springs.
If you still trust, or even give, the “experts” and our government corruptocracy the benefit of the doubt when they tell you things you feel sound fishy from the get go, then revelations like this will surprise you. The rest of us will just nod our heads and say we knew they were fucking lying to us.
You mean, that the stats they used to say there was no recession when GDP went down was a lie?
Not surprising.
Funny how the lie was told right before an election they were desperate to fortify, then the revisions showing they lied came out after said election was long done with, huh?
These people are evil.
“Woman, 26, who worked at top California country club files $15m lawsuit over ‘years of sexual harassment by wealthy members who groped her, urged her to set up sex toy business, bent her over golf cart and begged her to bare her breasts’
A woman who worked as a beverage attendant at a ritzy golf club in Southern California is suing the establishment over claims she was subjected to years of sexual harassment and assault both by wealthy members and some male staff.
Peyton Stover, 26, from Long Beach worked at the Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach in Orange County for two years, where she would provide drinks to golfers while out on the links…
The harassment endured, she claims, ultimately forced her to turn to drink.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11695153/Ex-country-club-staffer-files-15m-lawsuit-years-sexual-harassment-wealthy-members.html
Wouldn’t surprise me she was pounding Gay & ginger the whole time.
“Another club member is accused of sending explicit text messages to Stover, kissing her, throwing money at her, and asking to move into a spare room above his garage”
Now that fella with the garage offer was being serious….
A young attractive woman who becomes a “beverage attendant” at a ritzy golf club has a reasonable expectation of getting male attention that is sexual in nature.
I would reckon she was fine with it, even angling for her Mrs. degree, until she wasn’t fine with it.
Article says she endured it for years.
…From poor guys. She needed a filter to keep the riff raff out.
Endured it for years makes it sound like she’s 35 and worked there for 12 years.
She’s 26. Two years.
One would almost be led to believe its all performative bullshit for political purposes.
It is. But it will be extended when they feel the need to continue to control you.
Thought this might be interesting reading given some of the sentiments around here in the past (small l libertarianism driving to take over the world and leave you the hell alone and all…).
Maybe I’m just too stupid this morning, but what bugs me about it is how unclear it is on how the author expects people to “fight”. Okay, working local and state levels is not enough – but how exactly is the “combat the armies of leftist bureaucrats just waiting to step in whenever they can” supposed to happen? Seems to imply firing them all isn’t an answer (I’ll admit it isn’t likely, but definitely firing as many as possible is a good start and needed given the bloat). It isn’t like there’s a waiting army of non-leftists just itching to get into the State Department or even Commerce these days.
Almost seems to me to be a hidden weak pitch for “keep all your faith in the Chamber of Commerce class, for surely they’ll come through for us this time if we just support them enough!”… which seems patently stupid at this point. They’re weak sauce globalists at best, leftist sycophants at worst, simply mouthing the platitudes of being the opposition party because they suck at competing for the AOC crowd and it plays better back in their power bases.
I know this is more than a little black pilled… but it would be nice if any of these folks who keep trotting out how we have to “fight” had concrete suggestions on just how exactly that would work out. Anyway… putting it out there for comment.
All the various cabinets, chambers, chamberpots, etc… should be eliminated as possible. Don’t try to fire individual people. Collectivism works as a group, fire them in groups by removing the entire institutions they support. Would those people turn around and try to get hired in other places? Sure they would. So institute a hiring freeze first.
Cut the various departments 10% a year. If a Secretary bitches fire him/her. Keep cutting 10% each year until only the janitor is left.
I think I saw that episode of the Twilight Zone.
What he said. Close the departments, change the locks, turn out the lights, delete the VMs. Do it all at once, and do it irreversibly.
You want the honest answer?
The system will collapse when the dollar (or rather the Bretton Woods agreement) does.
Yeah, I’ve come full circle on the dollar – it’s too important to the world for us to effectively fuck it up. The world just looks at us, sighs, and carries on. That must really frustrate the people that do want to destroy it.
Reserve currencies, like common languages, come and go. And they have gone from Pieces of Eight, to French Francs, to Pounds Sterling, to the Dollar. Just like the world has gone from Spanish (see all of South America, Goa, etc. [Portuguese is just a dialect], to Lingua Franca, and then to English.
Nothing is forever. And the more and more the US looks like the Ottoman Empire, the more likely that something else will supplant it.
The Euro was probably the most credible threat and it’s more likely to fall apart than the dollar. I agree with you – eventually something will replace it. I’m not sure I’ll live to see it, but you never know for sure.
The Euro was never a credible threat for the same reason that Esperanto will never be the common language. This is mostly due to Europe not having the ruthlessness to inject itself into the world out of the zone.
Yep, a totalitarian right is what will be needed to defeat a totalitarian left.
It is a game where only totalitarians win.
Sadly, that’s probably true.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11694103/Drug-dealer-convicted-dealing-fentanyl-tainted-drugs-killed-three-people-one-day.html
There is no obvious solution for this.
Man, I’m glad I dropped that habit before they started lacing everything with fentanyl.
I’m going to have to delay my plans for a coke habit yet again.
Stop taking drugs from randoms? /Solved it
Nope. A dealer you know for years can still get bad shit without knowing it.
I haven’t had to worry about fentanyl in the drugs I acquire legally.
A banker, a lawyer and a social worker? That sounds like a good start.
A banker, a lawyer and a social worker walked into a bar . . . . .

If it was sold in grocery/drug/7-11 stores, a lot of this would be irrelevant. When the whole supply chain is transparent, the room for bad actors is lessened. But, decimalization does not provide for this, only for the end user to not be put in jail. It has no effect on the supply chain.
I guess these ladies better get used to living with cats…..
WTF is that Sam Smith shit?
We really are in the Sodom and Gomorrah phase.
You ain’t kidding. That’s wretched. Over time this problem solves itself as these wretched pustules who call themselves men die off. They will not find a mate and reproduce.
That is why grooming is necessary.
It’s almost like if you act without class people treat you accordingly.
Take comfort in knowing that 0.9 in 5 Generation Z members are lying. Don’t blame me if leftists of every persuasion have made it socially valuable to do so.
I honestly have come to believe that gay people, real gay people, have been turned into nothing but a political cudgel to use, abuse, and dispose off, by the usual scum that thrive of human misery.
Gay white men have slid a long way down the victim stack, lesbians following rapidly.
At this point gay white men are basically part of the ‘oppressor’ stack.
Commentariat excepted, they have embraced that role willingly and continue to do so.
It is quite telling that the QUILTBAG cadre went from a fraction of a percent of the population to 20% within a generation.
Everyone is gay by 2050.

There is a real need on the left to be in a “transitive” space. They absolutely want to be seen as “cutting edge” “weird” and “special” and cannot stand to be seen as normal and suburban, let alone that some of their actions are bigoted. Suggest that one of the things they love, say Drag shows, is no different than a Minstrel Show, and they go insane.
They cannot be satisfied. Once something is normalized, they have to move on to the next most outrageous thing. It will repeat until there is a violent reaction.

Did she have a plan or did she just wing it?
Someone had a bone to pick with her, is my guess.
I’d say it got too hot to handle.
Only $1.5 M? That’s a poultry sum.
Yeah, but once they saw the bill they cried fowl and had to claw it back.
Hopefully he quails before justice.

OFFS!!
$13M while the company is burning cash like there’s no tomorrow.
Good work if you can get it.
How was she forced? I call BS on that headline. She wasn’t threatened with job loss unless she apologized. She did so because she had mean tweets. Once again, leftists misunderstand the meaning of “forced.”
don’t need to be a lefty to know CEO comp is sometimes weirdly fucked up
I blame the board of directors, they need to reign that shit in.
The CEO of “PagerDuty” made $13M in compensation? In one year?

Or she’s married to a white hispanic.
Strange that his party affiliation is never mentioned.
It’s inconvenient when Democrats commit crimes.
“Bay Area mayor” tells me the party affiliation. Unless we’re talking about Green Bay.
Most mayoral elections in CA are non-partisan. but Sebastopol is a nuclear free zone, so you can guess they political orientation of the whole town.
^^ This, no party affiliation for city offices.
Sebastopol was the second town in CA to have a majority on their city council that were members of the Green Party, back in 2000. Apparently they’ve gone more conservative (relatively speaking) since then.
Who wants to tell him?

I hate that meme.
ah but you are on the internet. interesting.
Is RATM opening for him?
OMG, that is special
I have a new book “It’s Okay to Be Angry About Ticketmaster.”
President Jes’ Plain Folks
Greeted by the cheerful blare of a train horn, President Joe Biden stood Monday before a decrepit rail tunnel that he estimated he’s been through 1,000 times — fearing for decades it might collapse.
“For years, people talked about fixing this tunnel,” Biden told a crowd in Baltimore. “Back in the early ’80′s, I actually walked into the tunnel with some of the construction workers. … This is a 150-year-old tunnel. You wonder how in the hell it’s still standing.”
“With the bipartisan infrastructure law, though, we’re finally getting it done.”
The president came to familiar terrain to promote his 2021 infrastructure law, a bipartisan win that is just now ramping up the spending on major projects.
Biden said replacing the Baltimore and Potomac Tunnel could slash what’s now a 60-minute Baltimore-to-Washington commute in half, giving daily riders extra time with family and friends.
As a senator, the president regularly journeyed home to Delaware on Amtrak through the tunnel. He rode “15% of the time with engineers,” he said, and had a key to get into the back of the trains.
The new tunnel will lead to 20,000 construction jobs and cut down on auto traffic and pollution, he said, “jobs for folks I used to think about as I took the train home at night.”
Maybe Hunter can get on as a consultant.
Over/under on the number of lies in that bullshit?
I mean, you can’t doubt the veracity of this:
“As a senator, the president regularly journeyed home to Delaware on Amtrak through the tunnel. He rode “15% of the time with engineers,” he said, and had a key to get into the back of the trains.”
They even let him drive the trains when he wanted.
In exchange, he ley them touch his leg hairs.
let, not ley
Oh yeah, that’s exactly the best use of $6 billion for Baltimore, because they have no other problems that are more pressing.
For less than half that $6B they could bomb the city and start from scratch.
I’d like to see names of the Amtrak officials that signed off on those.
Why wouldn’t they? Biden is the most high profile political supporter they have. They’d let him wear the uniform if he asked.
Because 15% isn’t a one off, special PR event. It’s not the class of service for the ticket he purchased and I’d bet Amtrak has policy if not FRA regulations that prohibit non employees from riding in cabs.
Unlike Ukrainian gas, why do I get the feeling Hunter knows a thing or two about running trains?
Probably learned it from his dad.
“The new tunnel will lead to 20,000 construction jobs”
This is George Santos level shit.
Also, if it takes 20k people to build this tunnel, it’s graft.
Tunnels constructed for the transcontinental railroad are still in use. Hell, tunnels constructed during the Roman Republic are still in use. But you can’t get a good government grift over them.
Realistically about 100 for the actual construction, maybe a few hundred to apply the required materials. Multiply that by the 50 years it will take and that’s 20,000 job years right there.
Supply materials, not apply…
Don’t forget the DEI consultants and people required to write environmental impact reports.
Would Tres have a case here if he told them lawyers he needed to use that stuff to roll his ladies in to find the wet spot?
I have no idea on how many levels this is hate speech but it clearly is
We needed something else. The asbestos injury lobby is winding down.
Camp Lejeune is fitting the bill.

White residents are twice as likely as Black residents to say police make them feel unsafe
College graduates are twice as likely as non-college graduates to say police make them feel unsafe

do they feel unsafe or is it fashionable to say so?
I recently received a mass email from the CEO of my company about the death of Tyre Nicols. He describes never knowing the fear of police because he’s a “privileged white male” and encouraged black (uppercase of course) employees to take time off on the company dollar because he can’t understand what they are going through right now.
I’m several layers removed from the brass and have an incredible boss, but this shit is still incredibly demoralizing.
You should send him the Kelly Thomas beating and say as a white man you are devastated that this has never been addressed and you need time off.

Meh, self-hypnosis is quite a thing. My brother’s family were all genuinely terrified of the coof.
Tbh, I was scared for my mom.
Black residents tend to demand more cops, not fewer.
Another statistic the MSM tries to hide.
As a yute (17 or 18) I got a beating for calling a cop an asshole. My mom asked what was wrong the next day as I couldn’t breathe due to bruised/possibly fractured ribs and I told her. Her response “You probably deserved it.” My dad never even looked up from his paper. That, boys and girls, is white privilege in the 80’s. To this day, I don’t fear cops, but I don’t have a lot of respect for them either.
I feel unsafe around them. Any one of them could shoot me or beat me for no reason other than they felt like it and they would receive nothing more than a 2 week vacation as punishment.
^this
It’s honestly only logical. Now, chances might be low, but that doesn’t mean I want to hang out around cops all the time. No thanks, hard pass.

It’s also a window into the fraught choices awaiting the Biden administration if lawmakers are unable to resolve the impasse. Paying bondholders instead of everyone else — individuals and businesses depending on checks from the government — would likely trigger a political backlash and potentially slow the U.S. economy as a possible recession already looms, depending on how long it lasted.
“The notion is intellectually bankrupt,” former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who led the department under President Barack Obama, said in an interview.
——-
Lew confirmed in the interview that officials ran an exercise to see whether the government could physically pay bond payments and nothing else. He still thinks it’s a bad idea.
“As a tabletop exercise, we reached the conclusion you might be able to,” he said. “It’s never been tested in the real world. We don’t know what the cash flows required are. We don’t know how that would interact with other systems being on or off.”
Lew, who argues that prioritization is “accepting default,” said the two presidents he worked for — Bill Clinton and Obama — never made the decision to pay bonds over other obligations.
“Only the president can make that decision,” he said. “It’s not a decision the Treasury secretary alone can make. No president should be forced to make that decision.”
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has also come out forcefully against the concept.
“A failure on the part of the United States to meet any obligation, whether it’s to debt holders, to members of our military, or to Social Security recipients, is effectively a default,” she told reporters earlier this month.
She added that Treasury’s systems were built to “pay all of our bills when they are due and on time, and not to prioritize one form of spending over another.”
Maybe we should find a new treasury secretary.
Fuck you, cut spending.

Interesting perspective: a college professor and a journalist have collaborated on a takedown of western governments’ COVID response from a leftist perspective. To wit:
On the other hand, we both wanted also to show how in our view the root cause of the catastrophes connected to Covid-19 lies in the transformation of the political economy in the last 4 decades. The erosion of the boundaries between public and private in business/government, and in our personal lives, shaped the Covid response. Neoliberal economic policies created the framework for the enormity of the corruption and vested interests which we discuss in the book. So although many critics of the Covid policies have come from a right-wing perspective, we wanted also to develop a critique from a left-wing, internationalist and anti-neoliberal perspective. In a sense what this shows is that, while the question of Covid-19 has been politicised like almost nothing in history, the questions it raises go far beyond traditional party political frameworks.
They have the intellectual honesty to take their fellow lefties to task:
…lockdownists were very good at framing all the pandemic measures – lockdowns, closures, vaccine passes, etc. – in “left-wing” terms (a standard practice of late neoliberal capitalism, rightly defined by some as “progressive neoliberalism”): i.e., as measures that prioritised “public health” and “the collective good”. Meanwhile, any criticism of the lockdowns (and then any opposition to mass vaccination, discrimination of the unvaccinated, etc.) as a “right-wing”, “pro-economy” and “pro-individual” approach, accused of prioritising “profit”, “business as usual” and “personal freedom” over people’s lives and the collective good. This is the standard explanation most left-wing people will offer for supporting practically all Covid measures.
While this position might have been justified, despite its embarrassing naïveté, at the very start of the pandemic, it is shocking that so many people still hold this position today, almost three years into the pandemic, when it has become blatantly obvious that not only have these measures not benefited the collective good (by any definition of the latter) — since the overwhelming majority of people saw their lives upturned despite being at a low or non-existent risk from Covid — but they haven’t even benefited the minority of old people actually at risk from Covid, as the countless studies into the failure of lockdown measures to reduce mortality show.
Longish read, but worth it. I disagree with their assumptions, but their observations are spot-on.
Meh, they find it convenient to criticize… now.
They’re really just embarrassed by the justifications, because those are THEIR justifications in general, and they turned out badly.
“Performative bullshit for political purposes”
I really like this phrase. It pretty much sums ups everything that’s happening at a national level for at least a decade. That scientist guy that apologized for his behavior during COVID? This is what he and his fellow scientists were engaged in.

In addition to MI5, you also have to worry about the MoD spying on you.

Really? Where is that widely rumored?
Sir John Rupert Colville’s diaries. He was assistant private secretary to Churchill, Chamberlaine, and Atlee.
The accusations have been floating around for a while, but I haven’t seen the direct excerpts and the diaries are paywalled.

And the link doesn’t exactly provide anything supporting it.
The epitome of a deep stater. Now that’s ironic.
I don’t recall hearing it about Churchill, but Martyr Made’s Epstein series discussed a boy’s school in Ireland (?) that was pedo-central. MI-5 used it as a honeypot and caught a ton of British elites.
Why do so many recipes call for oven temps of 350 °F (177°C)?
1. Residential ovens aren’t very precise (±20°F)
2. Maillard reactions (which cause browning) can only occur rapidly above 300°F
= it’s the lowest temp that reliably induces Maillard reactions in residential ovens.
https://twitter.com/c0nc0rdance/status/1619764237638975488
sounds dubious. Also I rarely see recipes for 177 C, maybe 180 or 185 or even 200
What’s the default temperature for an oven there? Modern digital ones mostly seem to start at 350F here.
Seems like recipes had more 375F in the past, but maybe im just imagining it.
I don’t think there is one my oven has a knob which I turn when starting, no default setting. Same with the program I choose.
350 is common, so is 425 or 325, or any arbitrary number you like, but 177? Whats that, a bb caliber?

| Their suggestions were all based on the notion that current United States tax code favors the wealthy — who they say are more likely to be white.
Ackshually, the difference between average white and black incomes is as much as the difference between the highest earners by racial category, Asians, and whites. If broken down further by ethnicities, generic whites fall much further down the list of income earned to somewhere around 20. If they actually succeed in getting reparations based on ancestry it is game over. I can’t imagine it will pass constitutional muster, the 14th seems pretty clear on it.

Study shows…
The new study did not evaluate the actual causes of the learning losses, but experts point to a number of factors — changes to the school environment, disruption in family life, limited face-to-face instruction, reduced extracurriculars, along with many other possibilities.
“There’s been a lot of debate on how variation in academic decline plays out across states and policy choices about closing schools, but, at this point, it’s not clear that school closure policies were the main driver of the drops in performance,” Nathaniel Schwartz, director of applied research at Brown University’s Annenberg Institute for School Reform, told ABC News.
And it’s not clear what the alternatives could have been, experts said. During the start of the pandemic, when much was still unknown about the virus, policy makers and school leaders across the world had to make quick decisions and adapt to a volatile landscape.
Not our fault. We had no alternative. Honest injun.
I think it was probably just a coincidence, or the trauma of the George Floyd thing. Maybe a combo of these two things.

Place-based policies in the Italian case, part 1: A lot of money for little or no growth
Guglielmo Barone Guido de Blasio /
31 Jan 2023
Despite multiple policies to promote regional development in the post-war period, there remains a significant divide between Northern and Southern regions of Italy. In 2020, GDP per capita in the South (the ‘Mezzogiorno’) was only 55% of that in Northern Italy. This first in a two-column series argues that placed-based policies to promote local growth in Italy have largely been ineffective, regardless of the specific programme that has been implemented. Policy success is often hampered by problems with the quality of local institutions and organised crime’s grip on the economy.

Violence, loyalty, and the decline of Black marriages in the US
Alice Evans /
30 Jan 2023
Marriage has drastically fallen among Black Americans. Common explanations for this look to the effects of welfare, incarceration, loss of manufacturing jobs, and destruction of nuclear family ideals. This column argues that to understand the decline of marriage, we need to study how people build alliances in their neighbourhoods. In America’s inner cities, men gain strength in numbers to protect each other from violence. These peer groups survive by disparaging alternative solidarities like marriage. Culture in the form of rap music also celebrates male loyalty and sexual aggression.

Tard Tuesday: A Small Observation
I was late to the party yesterday and missed a very heartening discussion about whether we should be red-pilled, black-pilled, or white-pilled.
The latest from the view of the nation has me convinced that we are pretty firmly in the “too late” region.
We watched a president set his successor up to fail with patently illegal and arguable treasonous actions, literally frame multiple people for crimes they did not commit, an entire congress and media cabal colluding with the security state to commit multiple hoaxes against that president… and did nothing.
Fine. Special case.
Moving on.
Now we have a president who has been caught multiple times over taking bribes. It doesn’t get a mention.
Fine. Next.
Then we are handed proof that the FBI, CIA, DOJ, CDC and several other groups of letters have been controlling what may be said on social media and in the press and aho may be heard.
Still nothing.
Fine
Even things that cannot be rationalized away, like the press ignoring the lists of people who flew to Epsteins private island… repeatedly. They haven’t even asked anyone other than a British royal about it.
It is definitely too late. They control too much. They can rig elections. Rig prosecutions. Control who can even mention it.
Stick a fork in it. We waited too long to start to notice.
They have implemented the AOC plan to wreck the economy by spending an extra $12 trillion. They didn’t call it that, but they did it. And they keep demanding more.
We waited until the bad guy had us zip tied with a bag over our head to start discussing an escape plan.
Yeah, I am in a mood.
But with good reason.
Once you go black…
I see very little reason for white pilling myself. There is some backlash to insanity but not nearly as much as it should be.
This^😑
We waited until the bad guy had us zip tied with a bag over our head to start discussing an escape plan.
John Wick got out of that and then killed two guys with a pencil.
WITH A FUCKING PENCIL!!!
LOL
Not sure why I laughed so hard… but that was excellent comedic timing.
So you saying that PENCIL act in congress is how this gets fixed?
Cyto, Sloop, Yusuf and PITS…. sounds like a group the FBI would hold up as the masterminds of a plot to kidnap Chuck Shumer and hold him for ransom. Just us and our 12 close buddies from the bureau.
I’m too busy to try and kidnap that asshole. If I’m gonna get duped into a FBI conspiracy sting, it’s gonna be for somebody younger and more fun than that douche.
AOC? or Ilhan?
Nice try, Fed.
You saw right through my fake mustache/glasses combo?
Damn, we need better diguises…
The khaki pants, baseball cap and aviators are the giveaway
There’s a flaw in that plan – no one would pay for Chuck. You might want to threaten to unleash him on the country again if not paid.
I’m not a big fan of the term black-pilled. Some people us the term like it’s associated with depression, hopelessness, surrender, etc. When it’s really the opposite.
I take it as a realization the system is doomed and can never be fixed. Totally destroyed and rebuilt from scratch perhaps… but not fixed. That’s not surrender, it’s realization that you’ve been playing a rigged game and you can then make the choice not to play.
It’s liberating. Instead of participating in a rigged game, I can withdraw and instead focus on my energy and time on strengthening relationships with my local community, focusing on what is important to me, and preparing for whatever may come. I still pay attention because being uniformed only harms my ability to react.
Agreed. Better to understand the world as it is, rather than how I wish it to be.
That appeals to me. I’ve been thinking more and more like this. Does your attitude extend to voting? I’ve voted semi-religiously since I was young because it was my “civic duty”, but more and more I wonder about that, too.

“I’m concerned we didn’t really think about this during the pandemic — what we would do the day schools reopened,” he said. Peterson added that actions taken to help combat these deficits may have been insufficient and too slow.
Schools are also struggling to find staff for programs that could try to close gaps, Shwartz said.
“Schools and districts are facing a landscape where hiring for these positions is difficult, where other ongoing work is crowding out possible new programs – and truly, where many of the people in schools at both the staff and student level are often feeling drained,” Schwartz said.

“My own view is that tutoring is the best intervention. It’s expensive but allows you to target the intervention to the specific child,” he said.

It’s hard to balance additional instruction against the risks of overloading kids with work. “Kids only have so much capacity to take in new material to learn new skills,” Betthauser said in the briefing.
“it’s expensive, but what the hey- it’s not my money.”

This is extra funny because years ago a buddy and I dreamed up a company that did something like this. Rent out a strip mall office, pretend to be a business, contact all the HR folks in the area. Get contracts from them to hire their shitty employees away. After three months or so, fold up everything and disappear.
We’d charge $X for simply hiring the bad employee away. We’d charge $3X if the HR person wanted a video tape of the guy showing up for his “first day” of work and realizing he had no job. Every HR person we told about this plan said they’d pay $3X for the videotape.
That’s fraud.
You should instead fake hire the HR employees.
Race and redistribution in the US: An experimental analysis
Jesper Akesson Robert Hahn Robert Metcalfe Itzhak Rasooly /
31 Jan 2023
The US spends less on welfare than comparable countries, a pattern that some suggest may be linked to White Americans’ dislike of redistributing money to Black Americans and to people’s tendency to overestimate the proportion of welfare recipients who are Black. This column uses two experiments to show that beliefs about the racial identity of welfare recipients have a significant effect on welfare support. The results suggest that when White people believe that a higher proportion of welfare recipients are Black, this reduces their support for welfare.
https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/race-and-redistribution-us-experimental-analysis
Why all the race pie?
Seems a bit racy
Here is the real question.
Do blacks change their level of support for welfare if they learn that most of the money goes to whitey?
What about Asians who discover that they pay a lot and get bupkis?
Experiment 2 followed the same structure as Experiment 1 but also incorporated a priming element – I thought priming was bullshit and unsupported
Tucker Carleson featured a conspiracy theory about the food supply. In particular, he talked about a theory that checken feed is causing hens to stop laying. He featured a video with a woman who said she was getting no eggs and switched away from Purina to a local brand…. she suddenly had eggs again.
It seems awfully far-fetched. Does anyone have any real knowledge of this topic? The avian flu seems to make sense…. but is there anything to this “hens just are not producing” story at all?
I’ve seen that repeated elsewhere. I don’t know any egg farmers, so…
My buddy is still getting great yields, normal feed.
They are isolated, so safer from the flu?
We use a local high protein kibble for our layers. We also use a Purina medicated chick feed.
We don’t track production. To many variables. Because the days are lengthening, we are starting to see more eggs.
The hens just got a a firmware update.
Yeah, I know a bunch of people who raise them. The cheaper feeds have a lot less protein and more fillers. I don’t think there’s any fire here.
Quality in, quality out. Although, Purina should be quality. Instead of jumping straight to wild conspiracy theories, maybe they should start by analyzing the Purina to see if “shrinkflation” has caused them to substitute lower quality ingredients. That won’t get you on Tucker, I suppose.
The advantage of free-ranging my chickens was that I never had to supply chicken feed. Great egg supply off of whatever they could forage. The egg yolks looked blood orange… just night/day difference from supermarket eggs.
The downside of free-ranging is that I have no chickens anymore.
We were buying eggs from a neighbor’s kids, their eggs had those wondrous dark orange yolks and tasted great.
Unfortunately a lynx got into their enclosure and killed most of the hens. I offered to set a few traps (I’d love to have a prime winter lynx pelt) but they haven’t decided whether to re-stock with more hens or not.
Looking at several sources online, this looks like a handful of people posted something on TikTok about trouble with their home flock. Also from searching online, trouble with productivity in home chicken flocks is really common.
I would go with “normal trouble with hens” as the explanation
Seems stupid for a company to make their product do that on purpose.
If we are going to do reparations, my proposal is to pay for it with the settlement from a lawsuit against the Native Americans who unleashed tobacco on us poor Europeans without any warning about how addictive or bad for our health it was.
We’ll either garnish their casino wages or they can sell off their reservation lands.

It seems awfully far-fetched. Does anyone have any real knowledge of this topic? The avian flu seems to make sense…. but is there anything to this “hens just are not producing” story at all?
A few days ago somebody here mentioned a friend who had a very similar experience. Got more eggs with goat chow than with chicken feed, as I recall.
I wonder if they quit including menhaden fish meal on the feed? Cutting protein would do it.
Did we kill off all the menhaden?
US fish and wildlife says no. Menhaden fishery is fine.
Hmmm…. the Chesapeake Bay authority says they dropped the quota to to 51k metric tons. Then after the largest producer exceeded quotas, they set a new quota at 39k metric tons.
Global price of fish meal seems to have gone from $400 per ton in the late 90s to somewhere over $1,200 per ton today.

Revised
The world will likely breach the internationally agreed-upon climate change threshold in about a decade, and keep heating to break through a next warming limit around mid-century even with big pollution cuts, artificial intelligence predicts in a new study that’s more pessimistic than previous modeling.
The study in Monday’s journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reignites a debate on whether it’s still possible to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, as called for in the 2015 Paris climate agreement, to minimize the most damaging effects of climate change. The world has already warmed 1.1 or 1.2 degrees since pre-industrial times, or the mid-19th century, scientists say.
Two climate scientists using machine learning calculated that Earth will surpass the 1.5 degree (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) mark between 2033 and 2035. Their results fit with other, more conventional methods of predicting when Earth will break the mark, though with a bit more precision.
According to my model, I need a scarier model.
“precision”
Precision and accuracy are two different things.
Shush you.
So, the world has supposedly warmed a little over 1 degree since the end of the Little Ice Age.
The horror, the horror.
Just ask ChatGPT. It knows everything.
So the “Im sorry we probably helped kill your grandma, retarded your child’s growth, and lost your livelyhood” piece wont be the last now that the FedGov introduced the end of the pandemic message.
Normally, climate scientists use a bunch of computer model simulations, some running hot and some cold, and then try to figure out which ones are doing the best job. That’s often based on how they performed in the past or in simulations of the past, Diffenbaugh said. What the AI does is more keyed to the climate system now, he said.
“We’re using this very powerful tool that is able to take information and integrate it in a way that no human mind is able to do, for better or for worse,” Diffenbaugh said.
