While the folks on the submarine are likely in their final hours, I am glued to the coverage. One of my biggest fears is being lost at sea. Much of the content I stumble across reminds me of why I hate social media. The disregard for human life displayed among those on social media is disgusting, but there are some interesting bits and also some gems.
Arthur Loibl did the journey 2 years ago and said it was a suicide mission.
A writer for The Simpsons did it .
When folks at work talk about it, I’m having a really hard time biting my tongue. I want to say, “Let’s talk about the Olympic…” But I don’t.
In more cheerful news, here’s (potentially) the world’s most beloved asparagus.
This Reddit thread is interesting.
And a tune I find uplifting.
Ok, that’s it. No more news or social media for me today. Have a good one, Glibbies!
I cede my time to Bro
That is an adorable pup in your avatar pic. Catahoula? (It resembles a partial Catahoula that was my last dog until she passed a few years back).
Blue heeler, granddaughter of course named her Bluey… almost 8 months old, 49 lbs
Olympic? Are you just fishing for limericks that start with “There once was a lightship from Nantucket…” maybe?
Morning, WebDom!
Early OT — I see our smarter than the average bear Animal got another RedState article up. Congrats! Too bad you’re likely preaching to the choir there as much as here, really…
I…
Sheesh, next he’ll be trying to ban “the black thing that goes up”.
and high-capacity ammunition
Readers fact-checking Biden on Twitter now is just wonderful.
Fuck RedState.
I am still pissed at them over 2008.
Quoi?
In late 2007/early 2008 they banned discussion of Ron Paul in their comments by anyone other than long term members. I was exempt, but left the site over it. They were that worried over him doing well in the primaries.
Huh. Yeah, kinda dumb.
It told me everything I needed to know (but really already knew) about the GOP.
I have a perfect solution for getting rid of stabilizing braces. All you have to do is remove short-barreled rifles and shotguns from Title II of the GCA…

Repeal the NFA and all of its successors.
Problem solved.
That should already be gone under Bruen, since there is no history and tradition of such restrictions in the 18th or even 19th centuries.
Great job Animal! It has all the fancy formatting and everything. I love that there are a few notable Glibs out there spreading the word to a wider audience.
Morning.
I’m starting a submersible company using 55 gallon oil drums and I’m looking for investors. Please send Bitcoin.

What Was Running the Titanic Submersible? It Could Be a $49.99 Videogame Controller
https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-was-running-the-titanic-submersible-it-could-be-a-49-99-videogame-controller-a6dd7f0a?st=06wx6fvb3mnxl44&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
It’s like the 4th article I’ve seen screaming about it. There is is nothing inherently wrong with using a developed and well tested part off the shelf. Everybody seems to think that some low volume custom part is less prone to failure.
OEM console makers beat the crap out of their controllers because they know that gamers do the same to them.
Yeah, the controller would be the least of my worries.
+1 Ragequit *chucks controller*
/Disclaimer – I don’t normally use controllers, I’m a PC gamer.
I use an Xbox USB controller with some PC games. Some games are better with a controller.
Some, yes. I have a controller for those edge cases, but I’m most comfortable on a kyeboard and mouse.
Yup, F1, Cat Quest.. the Tomb Raider reboot franchise, the Spider-Man thing I suck at… if you have MK or another chop-sockey game I would think… There’s a time and a place for any given peripheral (wheel, yoke+pedals, controller, keyboard+mouse, etc.)
Yeah, I don’t play a lot of keyboard/mouse games myself.
They are reliable, have various inputs, can be modified, etc. It’s easy bullshit fodder they know will get clicks
And they can also divert attention from the refusal to use experienced white men in their 50s because that wouldn’t be inspiring.
That meme is never going to get old. That guy needs to be mocked mercilessly about it even if RIP (he’s on it, right?)
The part that gets me is that it was reported to be a wireless controller. I would think having something hard wired would be preferable to needing to worry about the batteries dying, or a sync issue causing the controller to stop working.
Of course, I’d also thing that they would have had some fail safes built into a sub that’s going to dangerous depths, but what do I know?
wait, what?
I was thinking about making a joke about it being wireless because I didn’t think they were that stupid.
Was it also set up to use motion controls?
They had the Kinect originally but it could only find genitals.
They had to scuttle the ship after the Kinect deadgendered someone. It was the only way to be sure.
My Xbox controller can work wirelessly and even I now use it only with a cable.
That’s insane if true.
If true, that’s beyond retarded.
In one of the links, he said they had several spares on board.
OFFS
Now that part is just dumb if wireless. No need for wireless in there. Wired with a robust onboard system for backup should have been designed but that wouldn’t have been inspirational cause some old white dude in his 50s with 30 years of submarine service would have suggested it.
That is my thought. That controller design has millions of hours of use. If it wasn’t good, the manufacture sure as hell would hear about it from gamers.
Recently I saw a video that had a partial tour of a US attack sub. They pointed out that the periscope is controlled by an Xbox controller.
Exactly.
The video game controller is actually smart. Not hiring experienced professionals is dumb.
55 gallon oil drums
You could start small and go with “Niagara Falls – Up Close and Personal” tours.
Just upcycle your used lube drums.
It’ll never be a real submarine.
In more cheerful news, here’s (potentially) the world’s most beloved asparagus.
Nonsense never heard of it
Well, it’s asparagus, so most beloved is a low bar.
Sounds like a symptom of Aspargur’s syndrome.
*narrows gaze*
Yeah, something about this asparagus story smells funny. You aren’t pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining are you?
There’s adventurous and then there’s stupid.
That’s nuts! Every competent engineer knows you use duct tape and bungee cords!
Duct tape for when it moves but isn’t supposed to, and WD-40 for when it doesn’t move, but is supposed to.
Duct tape, AKA Arkansas chrome
duct tape, parachord, and bailing wire
Akshually…..
Daily Ray of Sunshine
LOL
I hired them 20 years later, they still hadn’t changed
When my kids were young the cutest asparagus was Junior from VeggieTales
Cannot fathom why anyone would trust this
And they are fathoms under the sea.
I think this is a deep subject that we should dive into.
Are you saying they couldn’t fathom this?
That is deep.
So the cancellation of RFK Jr. had begun.
Can’t be talking shit about your daddy and uncle being killed by the CIA and its mob associates and talking smack about the greatest vaccines in the history of the world.
Can’t do it.
I wonder if RFK Jr. will be suicided or just flat out assassinated?
I’d bet they’ll go with the classics, and assassinate him. It will be blamed on the deplorables, of course. Just like Lee Harvey Oswald is routinely identified as a Marine, but not a Communist.
Yeah, they’ll spin up some unstable loon and point him in RFK Jr.’s direction.
They still haven’t released the tranny shooter’s manifesto, have they?
The school and the parents are fighting the release. I don’t see any conspiracy in that as they are a Christian school, so I would suspect they are walking the walk with that. However, it should be released since there will be no case where that evidence would be made public like normal.
I see no valid argument for hiding it.
They’re just going to keep ignoring him, no?
Can’t be talking shit about your daddy and uncle being killed by the CIA
They may do it to him as well.
This means nothing.
The House voted on party lines Wednesday to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) as a formal condemnation for Schiff’s outspoken promotion of allegations that former President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 election.
The vote passed 213 to 209. Six voted present, including five Republicans on the House Ethics Committee, who are now required to probe Schiff as part of the resolution, and Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO).
This cunte needs to take a long walk off a short pier. Along with most people in Congress, especially that lying bastard Raskins.
Look at the bright side, he won’t be in the House after the next election. Mostly because he’ll be a Senator.
That’s just unbelievable.
Fuck secession, we should kick California out.
^
Schiff didn’t just “promote allegations”, he constantly flat out lied about having definitive proof of those allegations.
^this, which is a big difference.
Can Trump bring a defamation lawsuit for a 10 million dollars (since we know being VP is worth at least that much, I’m sure president is worth more)? I think he said a lot of that stuff outside of session.
He should, since what Schiff did would meet the Times v Sullivan standard of “actual malice”.
He would hear testimony in closed session and then immediately lie about that testimony to the media.
It was actual defamation, unlike with the whack-job in Manhattan.
in the story I read all the Dems cheered and hugged him. Because of course they did. Principals over principles.
Oh the narrative is “He is an American hero!” with it being parroted in Borg fashion on the socials.
I’ve eaten a ton of these, but have never heard them called Minnesoda Sushi”. I think this is another example of journalos making shit up.
*I’ve always called them ham rollups.
Just reading the description sounds disgusting.
Cream cheese? Wrong choice!
I’ve heard them called that, but I grew up in southern Minnesoda. We’re a bit more cultured than you degens from up country
Go ahead and sneer. Where did those erudite Southrons send you? To Duluth! Way up north.
One of us! One of us!
You guys are a little on the wild side, eating that fancy stuff.
I love those. My neighbor always made them for our parties and I always ate half the plate.
Never heard them called that, though.
In regards to that reddit thread, I don’t know if it was completely successful, but the biggest lie I’ve ever heard was “Two weeks to flatten the curve.”
It wush good to be Connery
Nice journalo story about abortion. Notice that there is not one single real number in this story. It is all about “percent increases”. Without a number, those are meaningless.
I also think that half the anecdotes used are just as truthful as the profound quotes that the 3 year-old kids of progressives are always making.
Why would anyone drive all the way from TX to Fargo/Moorhead for an abortion?
Taps out. Maybe learn to do something other than abort babies?
She had to move her clinic a mile to be across the Red River. Those stupid NoDaks wouldn’t let her run her business, but she’s welcomed with open arms here in Minnesoda.
Why would anyone drive all the way from TX to Fargo/Moorhead for an abortion?
Stupid is as stupid does.
The more I hear/read about this the more it seems like they got what was coming to them.
The rescue mission will likely not become a recovery effort until at least 24 hours after the estimated oxygen reserve inside the Titan expires — meaning authorities will work under the assumption that the victims are still alive Thursday, a longtime diver said.
Butch Hendrick, an experienced diver who teaches water rescue procedures, told The Post that officials will likely wait at least a day before changing their efforts from rescue to recovery.
“At that point,” he said, “they’ll start to make decisions that, ‘Yes … we have done the best we can and it’s time to go to another level of search.’”
This is unfortunate, but go woke get dead.
The stranded sub… (If it wasn’t crushed by pressure)
Is there actually a vehicle capable of rescuing them if somehow their location was accurately calculated to the foot? I haven’t heard a clear answer on that. The Navy is always secretive about their submarine capabilities.
The Navy already knows if the sub imploded. They would have heard it on their hydrophones.
The Navy is always secretive about their submarine capabilities.
I have heard from people in the know that the US military has technological capabilities the are unknown to the public simply because they have not yet needed to be deployed. This seems like an opportunity to deploy something while keeping it secret, if the gov’t actually cared about the citizens. But we need to send the whole of our reserve weapons and money to Ukraine for some reason.
F-117 was used in Panama in ’89 but was technically operational since the early 80s and not known to the general public until Gulf War Part I.
I wonder if those are still being used or kept in a reserve role to be used if necessary. Seems like a good bit of tech to waste.
Still used and fly out in Creech and NTR all the time. It is a terrible airframe only made possible with modern avionics.

I hate to say it, but Zuck would kick Elon’s ass.
Fighting a robot isn’t fair.
There are a lot of things about this match that wouldn’t be fair. Elon is 53 years old and probably 60 pounds (of mostly flab) heavier than Zuck, and more importantly has no combat sports experience whatsoever.
Any fight promotion that sanctions this bout should have their license pulled.
Plus he’s probably on T, dunno about Elon.
https://youtu.be/kQKrmDLvijo
Elon fights dirty. Pull hair, poke eyes, groin stuff.
If Elon gave Zuck an oil check, I will take back every negative thing I’ve said about this fight.

This comment started out s “Where is Howard Hughes when you need him?” but quickly veered off into ‘I’m mildly surprised Elon hasn’t got something in his bag of tricks capable of going after the missing sub.”
Or maybe “pedo-guy” can rescue them.
Yeah, that was a really weird episode, that certainly did not reflect well on Musk.
Good morning, WebDom!
Thanks for the lynx. I didn’t expect that the sub would be ok, but I still held out a little hope.
Crazy way to go.
All these stories about reckless incompetence on the part of the aquatic graveyard voyeurs just illustrate my basic problem with horror movies.

Women and children of color hardest hit
TW: Jill Filipovic
It’s interesting to watch the national fascination with this story, especially compared to, say, the attention paid to the sinking of another boat, this one full of desperate migrants in the Mediterranean last week; dozens were killed, and hundreds of men, women and children are still missing. Many migrants, mostly from Syria, Egypt and Pakistan, may be dead.
And the Greek Coast Guard, despite indications that the boat was in distress, did not intervene, blaming the smuggled migrants who they say didn’t want help. Widespread outrage and anguish for the hundreds of souls taking an extraordinary risk in search of a better life, and those who failed them along the way, seems much more justifiable than the frenzy over a small, lost group of hyper-niche tourists, tragic as both circumstances may turn out to be. And yet, while the migrant story is far from being ignored, it’s not receiving the same breathless moment-by-moment updates accorded the lost Titanic hunters.
But human interest, we know, does not at all run proportional to human suffering, and often has little to do with who or what is deserving of significant attention. And the story of a vessel occupied by wealthy curiosity-seekers, lost in the depths of the ocean in its search to find a vessel occupied by wealthy curiosity-seekers lost in the depths of the ocean, has all the component parts of an addictive story: irony, suspense, potential tragedy, potential glory, lifestyles of the rich, aspiration and hubris.
If we had a global socialist dictatorship with confiscatory taxation, none of this would ever have happened.
Ooh, now do mass shootings in the inner cities!
Women and minorities hardest hit?
Close, little girls and minorites.
Most of those ‘migrant’ vessels have an SOP to scuttle as soon as a European police boat is sighted. Both these cases contain large elements of ‘You asked for it, now you’re getting it.’
Perhaps if the NGOs weren’t facilitating the risky behavior, there wouldn’t be three hundred dead migrants.
Dear CNN,

Devastating rebuttal from Riley Gaines.
An LGBTQ activist asserted that men struggle to beat Serena and Venus Williams. But Gaines had the receipts.
Gaines: “Both Serena and Venus lost the 203-ranked men’s tennis player and they are phenoms.”
The Williams sisters have said before that they couldn’t start to compete against ranked men. It’s the idiots in the media making these crazy assertions.
Lost to the 203 ranked man, who drank a couple of beers and smoked a cigarette right before the match and then crushed both of them.
Which to us normies is what it is, you try your hand. It should not take away from their incredible game versus you know…peers of the same sex.
This was touched on yesterday but I have something to add.
“So what’s the deal with the idea that it’s an absolute — you know, I love these guys who say the Second Amendment is — you know, the tree of liberty is water with the blood of patriots. Well, if want to do that, you want to work against the government, you need an F-16. You need something else than just an AR-15.”
If this is your position, why the fuck do you care about any small arm the average American citizen may possess?
I love that he forgot to mention that the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots . . . And tyrants.
He’s referred to that quote multiple times, always “forgetting” that part. I take him at his word as implied. He, or whoever is pulling his strings, means to rule you and kill you if necessary.

Lots of inconvenient truths in there.
Love to see TOS respond, since they are the epitome of Anywheres.
‘ one is left with a whole set of economists who apparently are unable to consider that using mass migration to increase the relative scarcity of capital compared to labour might have some effect on the returns to capital and labour.’

One right wing hardliner, bought and paid for
The U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has found himself in hot water after being pictured on a luxury fishing vacation courtesy of a hedge fund billionaire—who later appeared before the court to ask the justices to rule in his favor.
Like many other fishing aficionados, Alito proudly posed for a photo with the huge king salmon he caught during the trip in the summer of 2008.
He probably didn’t think twice about the snap, until yesterday, when ProPublica revealed that the fellow angler pictured was none other than billionaire hedge fund titan Paul Singer.
The exposé alleges that Singer flew Alito to an Alaska resort on his private jet, a trip that reportedly would have cost Alito more than $100,000 one way if he had chartered the jet on his own.
According to ProPublica, in the years that followed the undisclosed trip, Singer’s hedge fund came before the court “10 times” in various high-profile business disputes.
Still, Alito—a key player in the court’s landmark decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last year, which altered federal abortion rights—failed to both disclose the trip or recuse himself when Singer brought his business before the court.
Good old pro publica, engaged in a never ending battle for truth, justice and the American Way.
The left has a hardon for billionaires, unless they are funding leftist causes.
Yeah, now do Soros.
Ladies and gentlemen, the best and brightest.
Singer’s hedge fund came before the court “10 times” in various high-profile business disputes.
Which is a lie. One case, the one with Argentina, generated 9 disputes – 8 of which were denied cert. The other case, the hedge fund was not the appellant. Lying scum.

Remember when we were pretending to stop the opium trade while really profiting from it? Now the Taliban really stopped it and top men are sad.

But of course…
Dr. Byrd had long experience at the World Bank, where most of his work was country-focused, including China, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He lived for significant lengths of time in all of these countries and speaks Dari and Chinese, with some knowledge of other languages. During 2002-2006, he was stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he served as the World Bank’s country manager for Afghanistan and then as economic adviser.
There’s your tell. A writer for the Institute for Peace serving as a country manager during a military occupation and as a representative of a notoriously corrupt global financial institution.
So if they grow food crops instead of opium, they could starve?
depends on the yield/acre and how many people you’ve got to feed.
Cash crops to fund food imports can be a viable business model when your acreage won’t support your population.
There’s certainly not as much opportunity for HSBC and their ilk to launder drug money when the Taliban shuts it all down. You don’t want British bankers and their children to starve, do you?
We should have pulled out our troops right away and simply started buying opium.
Could have saved a lot of lives, it would have been cheaper and would have incentivized local farmers. Taliban insurgents would have gotten their asses shot off if they had started fucking with the locals cash crop.
Horrific outcome
One year ago Saturday, the U.S. Supreme Court rescinded a five-decade-old right to abortion, prompting a seismic shift in debates about politics, values, freedom and fairness.
Twenty-five million women of childbearing age now live in states where the law makes abortions harder to get than they were before the ruling.
Decisions about the law are largely in the hands of state lawmakers and courts. Most Republican-led states have restricted abortion. Fourteen ban abortion in most cases at any point in pregnancy. Twenty Democratic-leaning states have protected access to abortion.
Every single one of those twenty five million women desperately needs and wants to have an abortion, but now they can’t. It’s a holocaust.
A reverse holocaust, but worse?
Keeping humans alive is murder. Or something.
Wouldn’t the aborted babies be the actual holocaust?
the U.S. Supreme Court rescinded a five-decade-old right to abortion
They did no such thing.
Twenty-five million women of childbearing age now live in states where the law makes abortions harder to get than they were before the ruling. …
Twenty Democratic-leaning states have protected access to abortion.
Travel to one of those states then.
I’ve been told from a female friend of mine that abortions are now banned through the US. Totally. No where at all one could go.
Even worse, they now suffer the burden of having to think about the possible consequences of random hook-ups.
what you’re really doing is telling them: “You hate yourself at this moment, and I will affirm that.”
“You hate yourself, and I hate you too. In fact, you disgust me and you should be extinguished.”
You should cut your balls off so you can never reproduce.
This obviously has absolutely nothing to do with disease control and everything to do about avoiding regulation both good and bad.

If they aren’t going to raise and sell opium, the Afghans should promote adventure tourism. I’m sure they could get a chunk of the suicidally stupid rich people market.
There is a lot of nice geography in Afghanistan. They could use a few Trump towers/resorts.
Fat Farm — go in obese, come out emaciated.
Why do people let their dogs bark incessantly?
If I walked over there and shot the dog which has been barking nonstop for a couple of hours or just duct taped its fucking mouth shut, I’d probably be portrayed as the bad guy.
Probably at work and just leave the dog in the yard. Poor critter is bored or distressed.
*P Brook rescues pooch and companionship montage begins*
“shot the dog which has been barking”
I knew someone here worked for the ATF…
It’s interesting how people are so sure about how much air is left in that sub. The whole thing was shoddy, yet we’re taking their word for it about the life support system?
This whole thing seems like today’s version of a baby in a well.
‘It’s interesting how people are so sure about how much air is left in that sub.’
Agreed.
What is interesting is that they don’t have a locator beacon or something to be recovered?
It was the home button in the middle of the controller but they ran out of batteries.
They hit the “vibrate” button by mistake and then passed out.
Do you think the rumble pack went off?
They hate you and want you dead.

Why again is DHS a thing and especially what is their authority over campus safety?
This is purely about enforcing narrative control on campus and completely silencing domestic opposition to the regime.
Oh, so grift.
It’s too bad I’m an uninspiring white man in my fifties.
campus safety and security
They don’t even secure the border of the country.
The Bad Cat sums it up well:
Labeling parents who speak out at school board meetings as terrorists was just the warm-up.
The teacher’s union, now with SWAT teams.
This is absolutely about attacking, in the most literal sense, parents who want to have a say in how their kids are educated.
Actually, one of my dad’s cousins and his wife were in Afghanistan in the ’60s (Peace Corps, I think). They used o talk abut what an incredible place it was.
True story:
Afghanistan hosted one of the earliest recorded genocides, when the invading Muslims killed every single native Afghani they could get their hands on.
I was laughing at the commercial I see now where it is some yokels dancing to country music in the rain.
These new ads seem determined to prove “we really have no idea who you rubes are or what you like, so we are going to go with stereotypes of what we think happens out there on the prairie”
They learned everything they know about Flyoverstan by watching ’90s country music videos.
Huge Spike In Americans Buying F-15s After Biden Suggests You’ll Need Them To Overthrow Government
The nation scrambled to buy F-15s and nuclear weapons after President Biden said in a speech Wednesday that you’ll never beat a government unless you have the fighter jets and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
We do need to intercept the threat of tyranny.
I’m sure Biden’s handlers love it when he repeatedly falls back on his “my dad can beat up your dad”-type assertions.
The previous one was better: https://babylonbee.com/news/youll-never-beat-the-government-with-just-guns-says-party-that-also-believes-government-was-almost-toppled-by-unarmed-mob-on-january-6
How does Hollywood manage to make a fight scene with Jennifer Lawrence doing full frontal nudity look so fucking boring?
/Nah, it’ll be fine.
Its boring cause you can just get her stolen home porn?
Not me!
Uh, where would I find that?
Asking for a friend.
Marking something ‘fragile’ or ‘this side up’ is a joke.
“Delicate Instruments” also tend to be the most beaten up boxes we receive.
Try putting biohazard or corrosive contents warning stickers on the box next time.
Maybe you should have labelled it in English instead of Eyetalian.
It’s interesting how people are so sure about how much air is left in that sub. The whole thing was shoddy, yet we’re taking their word for it about the life support system?
I think the real issue is that it has more likely than not been compressed to the size of a twenty dollar fire extinguisher by now.
Corey DeAngelis’ group had some success in Virginia primaries.
Unfortunately, Matt Strickland, owner of Gourmeltz, lost his primary.
Pity.
I seem to recall that Durant got the VCDL endorsement, too. Might have been a case of going with what you know.
Did Hunter Biden get preferential treatment? We ask the experts.
“I would always think, if the president’s your dad, your life’s a little bit easier,” he added.
Trump himself has claimed on social media that the plea deal is “a massive COVERUP & FULL SCALE ELECTION INTERFERENCE ‘SCAM’ THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN IN OUR COUNTRY BEFORE.”
But Elkan Abramowitz, a long-time Manhattan criminal defense attorney, said Trump himself could have gotten a similar deal if he had fully cooperated with investigators scrutinizing his retention of classified documents.
“I think that if Trump wanted to work out a deal for the documents case, he would have gotten a misdemeanor as well under similar arrangements,” he said. “So I don’t think there’s anything extraordinary.”
Right. If Trump had just thrown himself on the mercy of the court, confessed his sins and begged forgiveness, the high priests of democracy would have absolved him after he performed his public penance and professed his love and devotion for the One True Faith.
Trump himself could have gotten a similar deal if he had fully cooperated with investigators scrutinizing his retention of classified documents
This premise is false.
Right, The Biden legal team that was not only publicly contesting the charges but was going to challenge the underlying law was totally rolling over at the same time and fully accepting of the government’s case.
Quick someone swap William Wallace on the rack with Trump!
