I still think we got robbed in the semifinal.
Georgia football snubs Biden. (I can’t wait to see Twitter’s reaction to that.) Man City and Real Madrid played a boring game that had two spectacular goals. Dallas-Seattle are all level, and we’re dangerously close to a Carolina-Florida Wales Conference Final. And that’s it for sports.
I guess that’s one way to become a bestseller. What a crazy asshole.
I’m confused. Isn’t the trial there to determine accountability? Or are they looking for some financial payola, which is what they seem to have been about all this time?
“Nunya bidness!”
Good. He should tell them to fuck off. And then point them at the constitution and tell them it’s none of their business.
Uh…ya think?!?!?!?! It’s gonna be a freaking circus and it’s exclusively his administration’s fault.
I can’t believe this guy is finally taking a logical position. Although I expect him to demand it be a nationwide program soon rather than one in his bankrupt state. Or bitch about Texas and Florida or something.
I have an alternate headline: White House Looks To Join Reality And The Rest Of The Country. That’s more honest.
I think this is actually a good idea. And it’s coming from a California politician, which surprises the shit out of me. But yes, there is a lot of inconsistency. And if the government is going to be involved (which I don’t think should be the case, yet here we are), then they need to clean up their act.
“Stop this madness!”

Heaven forbid young kids learn basic first aid. I have a third-grader, and I think this is a great idea, since government schools aren’t going away any time soon.

Amazing this is still in the Steam store. Do they not do cancel culture?
Is this from the same people that gave me Leisure Suit Larry back when? How the mighty have fallen..
I was telling a young co-worker about the 1st (1989 or so version) where Larry doesnt use a rubber and gets AIDS.
Steam appears to give zero fucks most days. I think Gabe Newell still has the company private, so that helps. If he doesn’t give a shit – things remain.
And considering the massive influx of “Adult dating simulators” and hentai games over the last couple of years — one would think this one is pretty mild. (I hovered, I didn’t click… I don’t need Steam deciding to recommend crap like this to me!)
You don’t want to see what it looks like to be a progressive married man?

Ahhhh….
OK.
There has been repeated wailing and gnashing of teeth this week that MA will be repealing their mask mandate for doctors’ offices etc. Each report included a near-tearful plea to get your ‘vid booster.
My wife is looking at a job at MIT; the postings include this tidbit:
Science!
I declined several interviews last year because of similar requirements.
I didn’t have to make that choice, but my red line was I’d give up the job before I took the clot shots.
Same here.
Ill go find something else to do if that were a requirement.
This was after that has already occurred.
They didn’t come out and fire me, just made me a remote worker until a layoff came around.
They way the company I used to work for dealt with the mandate is one (of several) reasons that I was looking for another job. I never did officially get my dispensation to not be vaccinated, and I don’t believe an official message ever came out from the company dropping the mandate.
We quietly dropped the “proof of vax to enter the office” requirement last month. Finally.
Oregon was pretty… Militant about the vax, but not once was I asked to show proof of it. The whole thing was just stupid from top to bottom.
Paraphrasing grizzly: MIT is a world-class university. Those are the last places where sanity will return.
a bastion of the severely educated
Academia is one of those places here you can hold insanely destructive and dumb ideas about things and how to do things, and never have to worry about repercussions unless you are in engineering/medicine (cause people die when you fuck up there).
Yup. I live ten miles from a university, and the closer you get, the more masked you see. And the barriers, along with plea’s to wear a mask.
As I said, stupid from top to bottom.
there are some things so stupid you have to be very smart to believe them. that and the neuroticism inherent in these types is my explanation.
Huh. I had a total of about 100 students in classes this spring, and the only time I saw any of them wearing a mask was one student for about a week, when she was sick. I do occasionally see one or two (usually Asian) masking in the halls, but I’d say it’s only 1-2%.
If people want to wear a mask for decoration or virtue signaling or whatever, that’s ok with me. It’s when they demand I wear one that I draw the line.
Visited my nephrologist yesterday and was surprised to see absolutely zero masks; patient, doctors, nurses, and staff were all breathing free air. Now my GP needs to follow suit.
My GP told me the Karens in his office don’t want to give up the customers/patients wearing masks because whatever, so he is not dropping the requirement yet.
The two major hospital/dr. office networks in Pittsburgh just removed their mask requirements in the llast week or two.
They’ll never admit they were wrong, and if you ask what makes this week different from a month ago, no one will have an answer.
My neurologist and I were joking that he has patients that he had never seen the face of, literally.
I had four teeth pulled over three visits to an oral surgeon during the mask madness. The surgeon and his staff knocked me out and pulled teeth out of my head three times, and I have never seen the faces of a single one of them.
The military hospital dropped masking requirements back in January-ish. If a hospital with a user population accustomed to following orders drops the requirement the event is truly over.
They don’t even ask you about having symptoms any more.
A warrant states Kouri logged into the two men’s life insurance policy in January 2022 and changed the policy. She removed them as each other’s beneficiary and named herself as the policy’s only beneficiary.
when is this ever not suspicious?
Good thing his mistress just took out a new life insurance policy!
That better be Barbara Stanwyck!
How can she change his beneficiary? It’s his policy and isn’t he the only one with the legal authority over it?
Was done online and they assumed it was him?
From the phrasing, it sounds like she used their accounts to do it.
Then that insurance company needs to create a two-step verification process and security protocols to ensure a third party isn’t changing policy details.
Huh… expected this for the first music link. And yeah — second one is a great song and video. I’m a dilettante when it comes to that band… I know a few of the hits, and like them — but have never really dived into what I know must be a massive back catalogue. Some day, maybe. Not today… have to work soon.

There’s nothing Marxist or Leftist about wanting to reduce the masses to serfdom and annointing oneself to nobility. The desire for power and domination runs much, much deeper than the stupid German and his believers.
You didn’t read and understand Marx if you believe marxism wasn’t about simply a massive pile of drivel intended to fool the serf classes into overthrowing the existing order so the new marxist overlords could replace the current overlords. The serfs would never be anything but serfs once the marxists got what they wanted.
“You mean that hammer and sickle are symbols of work? And I’m the one that has to do the work or be shot?
-modern commie five minutes after they get their way
I have always pointed out there are three kinds of marxists or supporters of marxism.
1. Those that never read Marx’s shit and have been brainwashed by propagandist into thinking the most evil and destructive ideology/religion ever foisted on mankind could do anything but deliver a pile of dead bodies (in the millions) and hold all living under it in a grip of misery and terror.
2. Those that read Marx and never understood marxism was just a evil gimmick to allow credentialed idiots with little skill or value to use the low information serf masses to replace the current rulers with themselves. The masses would now just be serfs serving the new masters (the state).
3. Those that read Marx and understood the evil of that movement, and use it to gain power over the serf classes.
Don’t talk mean about Bernie!
I’ve read Das Kapital and the Manifesto. Never read any of the Bolsheviks.
It’s frankly worse than you seem to think, particularly with the Trotskyites – they want a permanent revolution, a crucible in which dross humanity is burned away so the glorious new man can emerge. That’s fucking religious insanity.
^^^THIS^^^
Marxism’s end goal is to destroy mankind completely under the pretense that it will usher forth a new and better man. If one was inclined to believe in Satan, this would be the sort of shit he would come up with.
Which is NOT the end the WEF and cronies seek.
They will, for the first time evah, make marxism work…
You use Marx like the woke use fascist.
The left/woke uses fascism to mean “things I don’t like or disagree with”. We literally live under a new form of fascism – our government picks winners & losers – but they cheer that on as if that is freedom.
I use marxism like it should be. What is going on right now is nothing more than the same cultural revolution Mao ran in China but focused on destroying the middleclass, meritocratic systems, and racial grievances. You might want to familiarize yourself with Yuri Bezmonov.
Bezmenov, the man who would only talk to the Birchers.
They were the only people willing to give him a platform, because the crooks wanted to silence him. We can now, as we see what they are doing to us, understand why.
They were the perfect foil – ready to believe what he was selling.
Your fellow serfs will be here shortly.

I can only assume that anyone displaying a Betsy Ross Flag, Gadsen Flag, floral print, igloos, hula dancers, pineapples, frogs or the Roman numeral III will be sufficient to trigger the “or should have known” part of that.
Certainly goes against the spirit of the 2nd. I could see it used against Antifa (if they weren’t the current darling SA of the elites and all), but not being able to train someone in firearms in order to stand up for your rights against a tyrannical government scenario (which would be by definition “civil disorder”) is frankly unAmerican and should be struck down.
It not only goes against the spirit of the second, it goes against the literal text of the first amendment’s “peaceably assemble” provision.
Well that document was written like a hundred years ago by old white guys and it’s hard to understand.
And they were slave owners!
Is there an FBI carve out?
Of course there is.
The State is always exempt from its own definition of criminal behavior!
Seems weird to exempt law enforcement and military training from a prohibition on instruction to be used for civil disorder.
So nobody can learn or teach gunsmithing? Is there a carve out for the National Guard or are the armorers going have to stop training?
Even if that law doesn’t survive a court challenge, it gives them license to do something in the near term and continue doing it for a period of time. Just as with all laws.
All that language requires is for a CI/agent provocateur to make an oblique reference to “demonstrations” or maybe wave a Gadsden flag once or twice and the victim will have had a “reasonable” knowledge.
It’s the thinnest veneer.
And it won’t be challenged in court until someone is convicted under the statute.
And after convicted, it will be rescinded and the court will just say it was all moot so move along.
Huh. I got an F for using that line of argument on an exam. Professor asked how Bowers v Hardwick should have been decided.
Yep, it’s that Standing bullshit.
Seriously, we need to get rid of that pronto. And while we are at it, you should be able to sue as soon as it hits the books, as it might, might effect someone, and needs to be challenged beforehand.
I also assume that includes really great programs like Project Appleseed. I’ve been thinking of hosting one of their events on the homestead.
https://appleseedinfo.org/
I see more than one constitutional violation here.
I’m confused. Isn’t the trial there to determine accountability? Or are they looking for some financial payola, which is what they seem to have been about all this time?
They want to ensure the right verdict is handed down.
I’m surprised they aren’t outside the judge’s house then. Seems to be the in vogue thing with no consequences and all.
Obviously no consequences for jury intimidation either.
Third graders being taught first aid? Thats an outrage. Thats the age that they should be learning about trans strippers and how awesome abortions are.
Well, they have to know how to stop the bleeding if they forget the lube before ramming the spiked dildo up their ass for the teacher to masturbate to.
Plus the post-op surgery issues and all.
Ugh… I feel mentally unclean after typing that. And it is Wednesday, so things probably won’t get better around here.
Are we really on board with teaching 8 year olds how to treat a gunshot wound?
FTA: “No student is required to take this training,” Gervin-Hawkins said in a statement “If a student or their parents are worried about the material, they can opt out.”
Yes. And it’s not specifically for gunshot wounds. Or for school shootings. That’s just the narrative meant to use shit like this as a “can’t we just take guns away so we don’t have to teach kids how to treat gunshot wounds?!?!” bullshit. Don’t buy into it.
Someone should respond with “Can’t we just get rid of trannies so we don’t have to teach kids that shit..” to them…
Yes. And it’s not specifically for gunshot wounds. Or for school shootings. That’s just the narrative meant to use shit like this as a “can’t we just take guns away so we don’t have to teach kids how to treat gunshot wounds?!?!” bullshit. Don’t buy into it.
Then why hasn’t this always been apart of curriculum? This is specifically a dumb idea to address school violence. Teachers and a school nurse are enough to stop any bleeding for any injury when it doesn’t involve multiple people.
The better idea, as always, is to destroy public schools.
Why hasn’t it always been in the curriculum? I don’t know. Perhaps due to budgeting issues or overriding core curriculum standards by grade not being reassessed recently. Or because the people who set the curriculum didn’t think it age appropriate until a new group came in and decided they were.
There’s a whole bevy of reasons it’s a good idea and none that I can think of that would make it a bad idea, especially since it’s voluntary.
Sure, the best option is to abolish government schools. But if that’s not going to happen, shouldn’t we at least consider teaching kids potentially valuable life-saving skills rather than, I don’t know, watching movies the last few weeks of school once star tests are completed?
“Then why hasn’t this always been apart of curriculum?”
According to the article, it has previously been apart of the curriculum, but for 7th graders. They are simply lowering the age by four years.
Simply.
Yes.
My fifth grade class (10 yo) was a full year of first aid. Severe bleeding was part of it.
So they had to pick the right tampon for the job?
Not sure if you’re joking, but they have been used for temporary emergency treatment of gunshot wounds.
oh, well now I am onboard.
No they haven’t.
Tampons are 100% useless for hemorrhage control.
“My fifth grade class (10 yo) was a full year of first aid.”
Really? Is that common in the U.S.?
It was really common if the (private) school was associated with a Boy Scout/Girl Scout troop. We were trained in first aid, CPR, and some basic lifeguard skills as part of the scouts.
Same
Yup, I remember the first module was on treating for shock, then it built on form there. Severe bleeding was an early one (actually I guess it was taught in order of “how easy is this situation to recognize and how much can you do about it”). Rescue breathing and CPR were parts of it, as were poisoning and snake bites. I remember that the module on stroke treatments was basically “call for help, treat for shock.”
The thing that seems fascinating is what was taught to me then was much more complicated than what is taught now. Back then, inducing vomiting was considered a legit treatment for (some kinds of) poisoning, so you had to know which substances were on the “induce” and “do not induce” lists (blisters on mouth or a hydrocarbon smell = do not induce). But nowadays they don’t expect people to have the observational skill or discernment of a 10 yo.
I think that was about when I did my school first aid class. It wasn’t a full year though.
Pretty sure I was taught CPR in 6th grade or so. Probably other first aid stuff too. It’s been a long time.
Teens Junior High offered CPR course if they wanted it. Basic first aid should be offered if the parents/kids want it. There is nothing wrong with knowing how to handle a situation or at least have some vague understanding.
Learned CPR in 7th grade health for us. Also sex-ed that year as well. No not with the same mannequins you perverts.
You had mannequins in sex ed?
I don’t remember the grade, but we were taught this at some point in elementary school when I was in Catholic school.
It was common, but I grew up in the most awesome decades of all time, the seventies and eighties.
Shouldn’t it have been 5th aid? Or was your cohort held back for some reason?
yes but if they do it successfully they get a beer after

My bottle of Cantillon Gueuze has a use by 2038 date on it.
Actually, it has a bottled on date from Dec 2018, but says best used within 20 years of the bottled date.
Being Gueuze you can pour it down the sink now, no need to wait 20 years
You are too wrong to even discuss with.
Gueuze is not for everyone. Just the cultured.
/lifts goblet
The first time I had a Gueuze, I smelled it, almost gagged, then drank it and had an epiphany.
Still, how can something that smells that bad taste that good?
For those who have never had it, some of the common descriptions of its odor include “horse blanket”, “wet sheep”, “barnyard”, etc.
An equestrian in my group said, “That is not what horse blankets smell like.”
I was spoiled for a while when one of the local grocery chains did a big purchase of Boon Oude Geuze (including the Marriage Parfait), and then discounted them to ~$5/bottle when they weren’t selling. In fairness, these were the smaller bottles.
In the present, one of the local beer stores currently has some geuzes on the shelf, which are going for over $50 (750 ml bottles).
Otieno, a Richmond resident, died in police custody in March after he was held down by seven Henrico County, Virginia, sheriff’s deputies and three hospital employees for about 12 minutes, according to Ann Cabell Baskervill, the Commonwealth’s attorney for Dinwiddie County.
Here we go again.
But even as the administration and the public look to move on, experts say the virus won’t go away. Hundreds of people still die every day from COVID-19, and more are being hospitalized. The current situation is precarious and could backslide in the fall.

I don’t know if this was covered earlier in the week,, but beloved cartoonist Sam Gross has died.

This is sad. I don’t think it was covered.
“Christ, what an asshole.”
That reparations shit going on in Cali was Newsome’s doing. He thought that he would score major points for having his state actually pretend to take this idiocy seriously, and after all, expected this shit to never be approved on a vote. This would allow Newsome to tut-tut the Cali political class for not actually doing something substantive, while setting himself up as the champion of people that want the most free shit evah! Then California did California, and actually took this to the insane, so now Newsome is gonna have to deal with this kick in the female balls he has.
I agree the whole thing is for show. There won’t be a dime spent on “reparations”, but more billions will flow to his buddies running the various “equity” grifts he mentions in the article.

Australia: Woman survives on wine during five days stranded in Australian bush
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65524218
A 48-year-old woman survived five days stranded in the bush in Australia by eating sweets and drinking a single bottle of wine.
Lillian Ip set off on what was meant to be a short trip on Sunday, travelling through dense bush in Victoria state.
But she hit a dead-end after taking a wrong turn, and her vehicle became stuck in the mud.
Ms Ip – who doesn’t drink – only had a bottle of wine in the car as she was planning to give it as a present.
i mean 5 days certainly isn’t enough to starve to death and i guess it’s net hydrating.
Not sure how you get lost for 5 days in that part of the country. It’s not like it’s the outback.
But investigators now allege she killed her husband of nine years with a lethal dose of illicit fentanyl. This month, they charged her with aggravated murder and three counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
I suppose it is pretty aggravating to be murdered.
Someone should check to see if this husband had refused her request to play the game db linked up above…

I’m intrigued by RFK Jr’s presidential campaign.
I don’t think the Donks will let the Dems have a real primary challenge against Biden, but I’m liking a LOT of what RFK J is saying.
I’m listening to him on Mark Steyn right now, and he just said “No one has ever complied their way out of totalitarianism.”
I don’t think his campaign will be allowed to go far, but I am going to remember that quote.
I’ve heard the line somewhere else before, but I don’t recall who said it.
I mean I guess I like that he’s anti war.
He’s a nutter otherwise.
If any Republicans took a coherent conservative stance against the neo-cons, RFK would be irrelevant. Unless Tucker Carlson or Rand Paul decide to run for President, none of them have.
Everyone outside the mainstream is a nutter don’t ya know? Fucking Soviet psychiatry.
https://www.steynonline.com/13463/rfk-jr-runs-for-president
I suspect he’s still an authoritarian at heart. It wasn’t that long ago he was calling for corporations that disagreed with him on the climate to be dissolved.
Much like Tulsi and her “newfound respect” for the Second Amendment, I need a lot more evidence that it’s a sincere change of heart vs a politically expedient position.
I don’t suspect. He is.
Conservatives also like this he’s a vaccine skeptic but that includes all vaccines. Can’t say as I agree with him there either.
I think this is the good view. He did all the sudden do a MAJOR about face. I must say I am enjoying him talk, but it might just be only that. Talk. He could get in there and be a trojan horse for WEF.
The democratic primaries are designed to be undemocratic. They’ll ensure he doesn’t have a major run.
He could go as third party and totally screw Biden or any other Democrat, which I do support.
He’d fit hand in glove with the green party.
I’d be happy if he gets on the debate stage just to force public discussion of these topics. The other Dem candidates won’t like it, but it might make the voting public want to get answers on certain things.
He says he’ll pardon Assange on day 1 for example. Ok, ask Biden or Harris or Bernie or Newsome the same thing.
I didn’t realize that about Assange. That’s good.
Don’t think there will be any debate stage though.
I would agree – IF he starts getting network air time. To date, Tucker was the only one who would let him speak to an audience.
I don’t think his campaign will be allowed to go far – it is a fair and transparent process so there is no one to disallow
He is exposing the liberal v progressive split on the left.
Since Biden has declared he won’t debate, I think it would be awesome if Tucker or someone else hosted debates for ALL the candidates together. RFK, Trump, DeSantis, all debating at the same time would be fantastic.
I suspect the establishment strongly prefers Gavin NewScum next time around.
Republican donor Harlan Crow on Monday wrote in a letter to the Senate Finance Committee that he will not provide a list of gifts he gave Justice Clarence Thomas, who has faced recent calls to step down.
The decades long Democrat Party lynching of Clarence Thomas continues apace.
And the dipshit supplied his own rope.
He hasn’t violated any ethics nor faced any serious pressure.
RBG sold signed copies of her decisions to raise money for pro abortion groups. Thomas has a rich friend.
Nothing to see there.
DEI Brings Kafka to My Law School

Around 1 p.m. on Friday, April 14, Ohio Northern University campus security officers entered my classroom with my students present and escorted me to the dean’s office. Armed town police followed me down the hall. My students appeared shocked and frightened. I know I was. I was immediately barred from teaching, banished from campus, and told that if I didn’t sign a separation agreement and release of claims by April 21, ONU would commence dismissal proceedings against me. The grounds: “Collegiality.” The specifics: None.
I requested during a University Council meeting earlier this semester that ONU’s DEI program address viewpoint diversity. The administration responded, brusquely, that viewpoint diversity is “not part of our diversity, belonging and inclusion plan.”
Some Borg were taller than others, and there were male and female varieties, but all thought as one.
Huh, it appears that they did address viewpoint diversity after all.
Must of done something, everyone is guilty.

Joe Kapp, who played quarterback at Cal and later led the Minnesota Vikings to the Super Bowl, died Monday at age 85.
J.J. Kapp confirmed his father’s death to the San Francisco Chronicle, saying it came after a “15-year battle with dementia.“
Okay, maybe I’m relieved for his sake.
He was the only person (that I know of) to start at quarterback in the Rose Bowl, the Grey Cup, and the Super Bowl.
If they had the stat, he would be the all time leader in ugly throws for completions.

“However, between when the defendant said she went to child’s room and when she called 911, the status on her phone shows that it was locked and unlocked multiple times and there was also movement recorded on the phone. In addition, tolls on defendant’s phone show that messages were sent and received during that time. These messages were deleted,” court documents say.

UK haulage industry forced to train army of homegrown drivers to cope with Brexit

Oh how terrible. They had to employ people at a living wage. The fuckers are paying 30,000 pounds for a starter truck job, and call that paying through the nose? What the Hell were they paying the illegal migrants? $5 an hour?
“He is only 25 years of age, but Lewis Judd looks a natural at the wheel of a 40-tonne truck, performing a tricky reversing manoeuvre in the training yard of the East Midlands haulage company where he soon hopes to have a full-time job.”
Can’t let the precious babies on the road!!!!
living wage – how unlibertarian of you
Maybe so. That kid was wiping windows for peanuts, and now he at least has a chance at a career. That is a success story. I went through a similar thing in the 1980s. I was triggered.
I was joking, the point of a free economy is in the end to raise wages through competition for workers, but living wage is a phrase used by lefties

The White House is signaling that it wants to close the book on the COVID-19 pandemic once the public health emergency expires Thursday.
Gotta move on to the next scamdemic.
But even as the administration and the public look to move on, experts say the virus won’t go away. Hundreds of people still die every day from COVID-19, and more are being hospitalized. The current situation is precarious and could backslide in the fall.
That’s called “flu season”.

Meh. She wants to be bisexual, that’s fine. Somewhat related.
I guess she is dating Harry Styles, so maybe.

Drivers in France ‘strongly advised’ to avoid dashboard cameras
A high-profile legal case recently showed how useful dashcams can be, but French regulations are unclear over whether they can be used as evidence
https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/French-news/Drivers-in-France-strongly-advised-to-avoid-dashboard-cameras
France has very strict privacy laws, and among them is a law that states that while it is legal to film or photograph people in public spaces in France, you cannot use the images without the express consent of all the people who might be identified, either through their features or through the car they drive.
Obviously, people who have recorded someone driving into their car, or filmed another driver being aggressive towards them, will want to use the images, but doing so can be complicated.

President Trump responds to E. Jean Carroll verdict.
The leaked vids of his deposition are amusing.
This House press conference going right now about the Biden family is insane.
They’ve got the receipts. This is gonna become a massive scandal.
This is gonna become a massive scandal. – what difference at this point etc…
Seriously though, will it change something for the better long run?
I don’t even have to use a crystal ball to see that nothing will happen.
This is gonna lead to an impeachment. The tricky part will be who gets to run the show once it gets to the senate.
I applaud your optimism here but is Biden’s first test on where his party’s loyalty lies I guess.
Or whether opposing factions are ready to deep six his senile ass.
^^^THIS^^^
The faction that wants to keep Biden cause he is a great puppet and it makes their lives easy doing whatever they want is being challenged by those that want him gone either out of fear it will lead to Trump, or because there is some other crime syndicate boss demanding the job. In the end their biggest problem is how to get the cackler in second chief out of the way. There is no way they believe she can do better than Biden in any election, and that she isn’t a fucking serious problem as she will try to play boss for real.
No wonder the desperation to torpedo Trump at all costs.
Maybe in the House, but even that’s a long shot.
At best it will lead to him not running again.
I think that is a better result than an impreachment and removal…I don’t want Kamala in the office for even 5 minutes.
*cackles*
You know how Trump said he could shoot someone in the street. As far as his supporters go, he’s right. Same with Team Donkey – they’re not going to treat Biden like he’s Nixon, even if he is worse than Nixon.
Narrator: Biden is worse than Nixon.
I’m usually pessimistic these days, but anyone trying to cover for this obvious corruption/money laundering is risking tainting themselves. If it turns out the FBI knew all about this and did nothing, that looks very bad. Sometimes things are bad enough that spin and narrative control don’t work.
And if the media and entertainment complex weren’t completely in the propaganda mode, there would be nonstop coverage of it such that the public shaming may lead to resignations or reforms or something. But they aren’t, so we’ll focus instead on how Neil Gorsuch was a 3 percent owner in a REIT that sold a house to someone that one day could have a case before the SC.
I sure would like to believe that narrative doesn’t win out over all, but I’m not that is true.
Nuh uh! Only crimes committed while in office count for impeachment! And you can’t have mens rea if you’re no compos mentis e plutibus unum lorem ipsum!

Canis Biden fidelis est!
The proper outcome of all this should be the people looking and saying…all our leaders are corrupt as fuck
but we still vote for the exact same people, otherwise the wrong lizard wins.
I will say as much as I don’t care for Trump, I’m fairly certain he wasn’t corrupt in this particular way.
He isn’t smart enough to be corrupt in that particular way.
ouch!!
I guess there is NYC corrupt and then globally corrupt.
He’s like many prepill and thinks (or thoughtj) the US government works like it’s taught in school.
NO! NO!!! You’re guy is more corrupt than ours! Fuck you! Team! TEAM!!! TEAM!!!!

A good counter from the ruling party was the George Santos arrest…that is all the news will run, not anything the House press conference said.
his wire fraud was for two charges of 564 dollars.
There’s more here than in the QAnon bullshit, but this sounds too much like “Trust the plan!” to me.
Biden is kind of the perfect candidate, from the establishment perspective. They can hide his corruption before the election, and then reveal it whenever they want to get rid of him.
As if actual laws or reason matter these days.
“There’s no way he can be prosecuted successfully there,” Dershowitz said of the Fulton County investigation, referring to a conversation between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, on Jan. 2, 2021. “What he said on the recorded tape was, ‘I need to FIND 11,000 votes.’ He didn’t say ‘invent’ or ‘concoct.’”
“He said ‘find,’ which means that they’re there, and you just have to look hard to see if you can find them,” the law professor continued. “I think that’s a complete defense there.”
Dershowitz told Jakielek that the same logic can be applied to a potential DOJ lawsuit against Trump over his role in the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Police in three European countries are asking for help to identify 22 murdered women whose names remain a mystery.
The bodies were found in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany between 1976 and 2019.
An unsolved murder of a woman in Amsterdam, found in a wheelie bin in a river, sparked the move by Interpol.
It’s the first time the international police group has gone public with a list seeking information about unidentified bodies.
The so called black notices, released as part of the campaign known as Operation Identify Me, are normally only circulated internally among Interpol’s network of police forces throughout the world.
The woman found in the bin in Amsterdam in 1999 had been shot in the head and chest.
Forensic detective Carina Van Leeuwen has been trying to solve the mystery since joining the city’s first cold case team in 2005.

A roof takes more than one day to put on.
You need more Mexicans.
Heh, it somehow lost my “you’re using the wrong Mexicans” comment. But you are correct.
No, no it doesn’t. The roofers replaced mine in a single day. You just need the right number of people for the square footage. They need not be mexicans, as the roofers who worked on mine were mostly Philipino.
Not to just strip off old shingles and put new ones on.
They’re doing the new gutters and downspouts the next day, so I guess you could consider that part of the roof, kinda sorta but not really.
Improved resale value.
An understandable point of view. But, in reality, you are just wishing for other people to suffer.
Oh, I wish for people to suffer, you are correct sir.
Yes, but the people that need to suffer for causing suffering amongst other people almost never suffer for that.

Great songs. I was lucky enough to see him a couple times – among the best live shows I’ve ever see. A true pro.
Tom Petty.
A long streak of tunes that I would enjoy when they popped on the radio. But I never liked him enough to buy his music or go looking for it online or on streaming.
Same. I remember liking the one with all the synths. *tap tap tap*
“You Got Lucky”
You Got Lucky is my absolute favorite Petty song.
You got lucky when you found me, right?
I own a handful of his albums (including Wilburys Vol 1 and 3), but I generally agree.
This one might cause him problems today.
People hated his “Don’t come around here no more” Alice in Wonderland music video I remember because… Of something.
I think the cutting Alice as a cake scene.

That was my Halloween costume this year. I didn’t have the shoes though.
Fun fact I didn’t know (or forgot) until just now:
Dave Stewart (The Eurythmics) co-wrote “Don’t Come Around Here No More”.
I saw him live just one time, and it was amazing how many songs I not only knew, but got regular air play. He sounded great too.
Gained my appreciation for Petty some years after his biggest hits were new. “Runnin’ Down a Dream” is my favorite. Still listen to his dedicated SiriusXM channel on a regular basis – his “Buried Treasure” show, featuring old rock, rockabilly, and R&B classics from his personal collection, was always a great.
Err… a TREAT. And also great.
Fun fact: when TT had his latest stroke Christmas before last (or was it ’20? Whenever,) while we were waiting in an exam room in the ED, he sang “I Won’t Back Down” as loud as he could just to prove that he could.
Other than confirming for me that Murdoch is an evil asshole, why Fox News settled a lawsuit that Alan Dershowitz pointed out they were 95% sure to win, this revelation makes sense. Murdoch is part of the cabal after all, and Carlson was undermining that lucrative cabal’s agenda too hard it seems.
Lawyers representing the banking industry called last week for regulators to ban short sales of financial-company shares.
Of course they did.

Just seeing the Santos thing now. No idea what is true or not true but I do know the Dems want him out BAD so they can take his seat.
Supposedly he sold it and it was skinsuited a few years ago, before the election. Traffic dropped dramatically, but I’m sure the new owners don’t care, their goal was accomplished.
https://monsterhunternation.com/2023/04/18/a-letter-to-epic-fantasy-readers-i-know-rothfuss-and-martin-hurt-you-but-its-time-to-get-over-it-and-move-on/
weird… I tried to paste this link with the title as text and I got server errors. just the link works…
I think there may be certain things the blog does not like. It sometimes happened with twitter links and some text as well
That guy writes a good rant.
The guy’s not wrong, but I must be in the minority when I say that Rothfuss’ series struck me as rather meh. However, I am guilty of the ‘I’d rather buy a complete series than just the first book’ more because I just don’t want to wit for the conclusion than fear that the author won’t ever get to the conclusion.
I hated that no one wanted to write a great novel — a stand alone story. There were many times that I wanted a good fantasy story and did not want to start some fucking 4000 page series.
The kind of reader that reads epic fantasy wants 4,000 pages of story. It’s an immersive experience that they don’t want to end. Like, ever. 1,000 pages is breakfast.
^This.
Though maybe because the first few epic fantasy series I read were the Chronicles of Narnia, the Lord of the Rings and the Prydain Chronicles, I got the impression that the genre needed to include everyone/evrything dying/magic going out of the world.
I think part of it is because there are storytelling mechanisms in place to limit word count. In fairy tales, the heroine has no support system. Friends and family would require development and take up words. In romance, secondary characters (if they don’t have their own story) are limited and forget tertiary characters.
Epic Anything throws in all the interesting secondary and tertiary characters and then the book blows up to 1,000 pages.
Not the first time that the market has failed to provide what I want.
If I wasn’t a libertarian, I would demand government action to force writers accommodate the handful of oddballs like me that don’t want what the mass market wants.
Kickstarter and Patreon are good for self-published epic authors. “I need to eat. Please pay me to give you what you want because I am not physically capable of writing while working doubles at Home Depot.”
I read Cryptonomicon in 3 days (only stopped to pee and sleep) and could’ve devoured another 1,000 pages.
I read, and loved, Stephen Donaldson’s Chronicles and Gap series.
I have every book Sir Terry wrote before he got Alzheimer’s.
I read all the Dune books.
But sometimes, I just want an interesting story to fill a gap in my time (like being trapped on an intercontinental flight).
I’m also in the “don’t want to wait” category, because as the books dribble out I forget stuff from the earlier books.
My quarrel with that:
When you are writing a multi-volume epic, you are essentially selling it to your fans on lay-away. They are buying the whole damn story, not just the the first fraction of it. Not delivering the whole damn story is breach of your deal with your fans. At some point, it’s understandable that they decline to advance you the money until they know they are going to get everything they are paying for.
Some writers you can rely on. Some, we have learned, you can’t. So don’t expect us to trust a writer we have no basis to trust, and give them money in advance for a completed story, unless we choose to trust them to deliver.
I think he’s more concerned about new authors, who don’t have a reputation yet. If nobody gives their books a try because the series isn’t complete, that’s a problem. That said, I think his fears about this are overblown. If A Game of Thrones was released today by a new author, it would definitely get noticed and become a strong seller. Same with The Name of the Wind.
Some new authors may do well with a standalone novel rather than announcing a 5 book series. And you can write the novel as to leave room for eventual sequels.
I did that with Cods & Cuntes. Really all you have to do is hint that the characters have more adventures ahead. It doesn’t matter if I write the next book because the first one ends satisfactorily.
So, in this space, I take it he’s talking about traditionally published authors, not self-published authors who WILL write for Applebee’s dinner money.
The readers would do well to try to suss these people out, but admittedly, I don’t know how to find what I don’t know exists or even what questions to ask.
I need to start reading that guy’s blog.
Romance doesn’t have that problem necessarily because every book has to have a definite end (and the only legit trigger warning should be “cliffhanger”), with a happily ever after to be considered romance. Our “series” generally are really just character spin-offs.
I’m going to gun school with Larry next weekend. Rumor says he’s gonna DM a TTRPG one-shot in the evenings. I’m excited!

Tips would be available to the store’s employees on all transactions, which would throw out Apple’s current policy where Apple employees who accept a tip are fired.”

The proliferation of non-white white-supremes.
On “The View,” Ana Navarro stirred up a debate by claiming that being Hispanic or Black does not prevent someone from supporting white supremacy, while discussing the recent mass shooting at a Dallas mall.
According to law enforcement sources, 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia is the suspected shooter in the deadly attack that left eight dead and several others injured. Anonymous law enforcement sources claim that Garcia may have been motivated by white supremacist ideology, citing extremist social media posts and a patch on his chest that read “RWDS.” …
“We all have to remember that the head of the Proud Boys. His name is Enrique Tarrio. The Proud Boys is a White Nationalist group. Look, being Hispanic or being Black does not, or being anything does not make you immune from being racist, from being radicalized, from being a White supremacist, from being evil, from being homicidal. And we are seeing it over and over again. There are people who, they don’t see themselves as what they are,” Navarro said.
Of course, all murderers are white-supremacists just by the nature of being murderers.
It sure seems like white supremacy is more inclusive than BLM.
White supremacy is code for being successful or believing in a meritocratic systems over those that use random DEI bullshit and care not about ever being productive/successful.
They’re claiming women can have penises, so why the hell not.
There are no chix with dicks: there are only dudes with fake tits.
Hispanics have reached the lofty realm of Asians and the Jewish people. Minorities when they follow the progressive religion, but cast out into the white when they declare their heresy.
Nothingburger with cheeze
The Oversight Committee chair’s pivotal moment comes in the form of a long-planned press conference on his panel’s investigation into President Joe Biden, his son Hunter who’s already facing a federal investigation, and other family members. Comer’s move follows weeks of doubt, including from some within his own party, that the Kentucky Republican can back up his promises to find a smoking gun that would tie the president to the private affairs of his relatives.
No such link has publicly emerged.
And unless Comer’s yet-to-be-released findings —based on bank records and payments made to Biden family members with links to Romania and China — contain that hard proof, his maneuver is at serious risk of backfiring just as he’s ramping up efforts to get more buy-in for his probe.
“It’s an investigation of Joe Biden,” Comer said in a brief interview, asked if Wednesday would focus on the president or more broadly on his family. “The thing that’s been most frustrating to me in the media: They say we’re investigating Hunter Biden. We’re investigating Joe Biden. This is all about Joe Biden.”
Joe Biden is a goddam hero. He rescued DEMOCRACY! from the long dark shadow of authoritarian ultraMAGAism. He should not have to be subjected to the petty sniping of a bunch of sore losers.
You NEED him napping in that chair!
You WANT him in that chair.
You know that if this came out about Trump, he would be doing hard time with Bubba his cellmate almost immediately and it would be worse than Watergate.
Of course, what SCOTUS Justice’s wives do is not “the private affairs of relatives” and is totally open for questioning.
“No such link has publicly emerged.”
Other than Joe meeting with Biden’s business associates and publicly threatening to withhold money if a prosecutor investigating Hunter wasn’t fired. But other than that . . . .
From what I’m seeing so far, the “smoking gun” is a large number companies, many formed while Biden was VP, that served no legitimate purpose. They didn’t make or sell anything. They were just used to pass money around. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that the kind of RICO violation they used to get mobsters when they couldn’t directly prove murders or theft?
Correct. And I really don’t think that is a smoking gun you could prosecute a government official with.
“The scrotum: A comparison of men’s and women’s aesthetic assessments
Cosmetic surgery is a growing trend. Opportunities for an individual to attain their personal aesthetic ideal via plastic surgery have now extended as far as the genital area. Adaptive surgery on intimate areas of the body may take place for physical complaints, but may instead be due to a desire to conform to a particular ideal. Breast operations, labia reductions, and penis lengthening are long-established interventions, the motives for which a number of previous studies have examined. Tightening of the scrotum, by contrast, is a new trend in the aesthetic surgery market. Notwithstanding its rapid increase, studies have yet to investigate aesthetic preferences as regards the scrotum.”

You don’t have to be white to be a white supremacist.
Just look at Clarence Thomas.
You don’t even have to be one of The Supremes!
Comer said he would “talk about” further details, such as whether any bank records showed a direct link to President Biden or any distinctions he’d make between potentially unethical versus illegal actions, at his press conference Wednesday. But the memo, while detailing payments to Biden family members and asserting that “it is not credible” that the president wasn’t aware of his family’s business efforts given the total size of the payments, doesn’t show a direct link of Biden’s decisions being influenced by those agreements or having direct knowledge of them.
Something something appearance of impropriety.
I guess that’s just for the little people. And Supreme Court Justices.
So that’s the narrative. We don’t have audio of Biden doing anything corrupt, or a receipt that says “Paid in full, $1.000,000 for corrupt influence”, so clearly he did nothing wrong.
Case closed!
I’m not going to argue with journalos or ShitLibs about whether Biden is a crook or not, for the same reason I don’t argue with the shirtless guy screaming at the bus stop. It seems to me that the powers that be probably don’t want Biden to run again, but if that was the case they would have let this investigation proceed next summer instead, right?
Yeah it’ll be old news by the election. They did the same with some Hillary scandal–Benghazi, maybe?
Maybe. But if they do want him out, this would be the time. All they’d have to do is proceed with a real investigation, and pressure him to resign.
And Supreme Court Justices.
Only some Justices.
