That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Can I get three fitty?
Only if the Loch Ness monster pays up.
Same as downtown?
Prices really have gone up.
Hello out there!
Morning, Yusef. Hope it is going well for you.
Other than my back pain, things couldn’t be better,
Auto union calls for 32-hour work week and double-digit raises – I would like this myself please
“Record profits mean record contracts,”
“”Significantly increasing” pay for retirees”
– thing is that record profits can be very temporary these other things permanent
They really are determined to kill off auto manufacturing in the US.
Fucking commies.
When they bankrupt the Car Companies, the government will just step in to bail them out.
When I say “them”, I mean the UAW.
They’ve learned nothing from the Yellow Corp. shutdown.
Indeed. What we’ll see is double-digit increase in the use of robots to assemble cars.
This couldn’t come at a worse time for the “Big 3.” You have the unions screaming for raises to keep up with the inflation that their membership voted for, while at the same time you have government pressuring them to sink big bucks into electric cars that hardly anybody wants to buy.
Living in an old car manufacturing town, most of the union rank and file were Trump supporters. There’s plenty of houses around that still have UAW signs/flags up next to Trump ones.
Labor isn’t the most significant cost of building a new car. Paying benefits to retired workers is number one.
I remember reading about a study showing that US manufacturers would actually be very competitive on both price and quality, if not for the pensions dragging them down.
Too bad the only new car company that isn’t bogged down by decades of pension entitlements is Tesla who only wants to make luxury EV cars. We need an auto maker that makes quality cars without all the feature bloat that’s pricing people out of even the used car market.
Can you imagine the chaos if the car market refragmented to what it was like in the early days? It would probably only take a couple of new players – unburdened by their past. Naturally, federal regulation prevents this from ever happening.
Probably explains the hard push into EV’s by the traditional manufacturers, even though the cars aren’t selling. They don’t want to get crushed by upstarts without those burdens if a transition does happen.
With the tax credit a model 3 is high 30’s out the door, not much more than a nicely equipped Mazda.
Taxpayers bailed them out before.
Bad gamble, as they could very easily be politically unfavored or not of value .
What’s funny is that the auto manufacturers used to fight the gov’t tooth and nail on mandates and always pushed for a “let the market decide” approach. Now they’ve all been co-opted by the gov’t and have decide “fuck the customer”.
“Under the initiative, most people will be able to submit everything but their tax returns digitally in 2024. And as the IRS pilots its new electronic free file tax return system starting in 2024, the agency will be able to process everything, including tax returns, digitally by 2025.”
As long as it isn’t mandatory. How long before the whole thing gets hacked?
It’s already been hacked.
^^ This
Honestly, universal free file is decades overdue.
I should not have to pay in order to file my taxes. Fuck you NYS.
Ohio does the same thing, with the added FU of no direct deposit unless you pay to e-file. So I dutifully print them out, and wait a bit to get my refund every year.
In New York if you make enough to no longer qualify for free efiling, you can’t file by paper.
One year my state refund was 72 cents. Of course I made them mail me the check.
As long as it isn’t mandatory.
What do you think they do with a paper filed return?
Leak it to the press?
Yes, but first someone with a high school education manually transcribes it into their system.
Well, I’m not the one doing that.
I thought the Southern states were right-to-work (if not all, for the most part). Don’t understand why the Big Three haven’t moved domestic production entirely there and told UAW to fuck off and die already. Of course with the Fed actually setting their production, there’s probably back stage coercion on that.
And gee… more union contract money equals more dues… equals more PAC money from the unions… not like that’s a vicious cycle akin to public sector unions or anything. Thanks again, Obama era buyout of the auto companies and you current leftover Marxists running things for the PPP administration…
Morning, Banjos — you should probably change your usual line to “get some coffee and scream your frustration to the heavens”… but I know you don’t like to feed the black pills. Bleah.
Cute mouse (?) or whatever rodent that was on the front page, though.
This. Nothing gets created when a Dem is in charge until a union flack gets his cut first.
Perspective is important in life.
After the Obama bailout, I think the UAW has a major ownership stake and Board Membership in the domestic car manufacturers.
GM was snatched from the stock and bond holders and gifted to the UAW.
Which makes the threat of a strike sound silly.
The big 3 do move production south – all the way to Mexico. The remaining US production is just old contracts playing out till the union negotiatiates the plant closure at the next round of negotiations.
Yep. None of the top 10 cars made in the us are from the big 3.
I seem to remember an economic system, one where the means of production was technically privately owned but all goals and outputs were dictated by government. I have a mental image of something like a bunch of sticks, all bound together… Anyone remember what that was called?
“Faggot” A fasces has an axe in it.
According to the socialists/communists: “Free Market Capitalism”.
“In April 2022, the New York Times delved into the priorities of Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden administration, the latter of which had been hoping Garland would be more aggressive and take more decisive action to target Trump for January 6. According to the Times’ report, Biden had “confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments.””
So it could be made up bullshit.
If there’s anything we learned from the Trump era it was that random unnamed sources “close to the White House” are always accurate and should be trusted.
(sarcasm off)
:eyeroll:
Meh. If the NYT says it, then it’s absolute fact as far as Wikipedia and the Congressional Record are concerned.

If it only came with a massive pruning of the tax code (say a flat tax)…
And if I were a member of Congress I’d look to troll them by passing a bill requiring an audit of their data security. After all, seems like they lose key email and documents off of hard drives a lot more than they should. Can’t go paperless until you prove you can archive and restore data properly, assholes.
0% sounds like a good flat rate.
I like the way you think, UCS!
Those a-holes want to go paperless, but the feds insist that health insurance companies keep sending giant reams of paper every time you have a medical visit. The government can fuck right off.

So what is the Official Glibertarian position on El Salvador?

I am choosing to believe that the performed genders are unrelated to their actions.
Let’s ask Bro and Derp about that.
I had a friend who was convinced that the hospital she worked for hacked her e-mails. The proof was an e-mail from HR letting her know that a job she had applied for with another company had a potential conflict of interest. The concept that the company she applied for saw the previous employers on the CV and reached out was not even considered.
Did she communicate with the potential new job using her work email?
Nope. Private e-mail on a work machine (web based client, so it’s possible it was recorded that way as well).
So, still subject to monitoring.
It’s been years since I was allowed to access private email on a work computer. I could still use the Proton app on the work cellphone, but after a couple of pretty alarming security breaches from people getting phished on their private email, we blocked email. I’m surprised any security-conscious company allows it.
Even if a company allowed it, I wouldn’t do it. All your shit belongs to that company. You check your email on a company computer, some IT wonk can look at it. There is no expectation of privacy on a work device. I use personal PCs for personal, and work PCs for work only. In emergencies I can download company software and use my personal phone for work but I certainly don;t keep it on there all the time.
Private e-mail on a work machine
I’m not the most IT savvy, but I’m fairly certain there is no such thing.
Private as in “Non-work” not as in secret from the machine owner.
Right, I don’t see how that could be kept secret from the machine owner. Every time I log in, I have to click okay on an acknowledgement that anything I do may be monitored by my employer. And I’ve been on the other end of that where I’ve had IT monitor computer activity for a problem employee.
SSD:
Depends on the level of monitoring, as well as the company policies. Regardless, I stand behind my belief that a massive health care company would be very unlikely to “hack” an employees e-mail to tell them about a conflict of interest, when it’s much more likely that the company that she applied to reached out to confirm employment/check for conflicts themselves.
I’m certainly noticing something about these twats.
Dawson’s bio – “My research interests focus on nationalism, white supremacy and extremism, religion and what binds people together, guns and the role of American civil religion as well as the digital disruption of technology on aspects of society.”
That has fuck all to do with waging war, unless that war is going to be on American citizens.
unless that war is going to be on American citizens
There’s the reason right there for the restructuring of the upper level command.
It is kind of terrifying that the military is employing obvious haters of their country such as the woman attached to that bio.
Yes
One might begin to think that the real intent is to tear the country apart and that woman is a useful idiot.
The general officers mentioned proved exactly how rotten the officer development regime has become. But this has been going on a long time.
It is interesting to read exactly how social media effects military discipline – seems to ruin it. Just not sure if it is top-down or across the board.
I see no reason not to believe she is a troo bleever in tearing the country apart.
There’s no “unless” about it.
This. Is. The. War. That. They. Are. Fighting.
Actively, and aggressively, the kulturkrieg is 100% of the DOD’s goal now.
“American civil religion” WTFIT? The Bald Eagle?
That, and the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem, the reverence for the flag, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and probably more.
The henchwoman’s biography is about what one would expect.
That should most certainly trigger a court martial and a big chicken dinner for all involved. Whistleblower laws and all. And if it doesn’t, Congress should step in.
There is a bigger picture than the specifics of this incident, and that is what is more worrisome.
“Congress should step in”
What, and hold hearings on UFOs hacking whistleblower emails?

Reputed founder of white supremacist group extradited from Romania on riot charges

While the BLM and Antifa rioters were quickly cut loose without charges.
By the fat fink Trump picked.
At the end of Fain’s presentation, a virtual audience member appears to query about a mandatory maximum work week of 40 hours. Fain responded by saying he thinks it should go “a step further. I think we should push a 32-hour work week.”
“There are other countries in this world that work 30-hour work weeks,” Fain continued. “So I have no issue at all that we’re proposing a shorter work week… These are quality of life issues.”
Calls for fewer work hours are nothing new. In fact, Congressman Mark Takano (D-Ca) reintroduced his 2021 “Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act” this past March, a bill that would reduce “the standard workweek under federal law from 40 hours to 32 hours over a three-year phase in period.”
Why should they have to show up at all?
Great, 20% less pay.

“Over 100 trans men, women who identify as men, have entered the Miss Italy pageant in protest against the competition banning trans women from entry.”

I don’t know, when it comes to Italian beauty pageants, my contribution was linking at least 50 youtubz over the last year or so
Easier for them to pull it off with the facial hair.
Well, which is it? Have they entered the pageant, or are they banned from entering the pageant? Can’t be both, you know.
They banned men pretending to be women, so women pretending to be men signed up.
Are the trans-men making the own that they think they are?

I’m sure the DOD is perplexed why these stupid 3rd world nations can’t understand that America occupied them for their own good. Much better than some icky native warlord ruling.
‘The country is an important partner in the U.S. military’s efforts to counter the Islamic State group and other terrorist organizations in Africa.’
Yes, that’s why we’re so concerned about what’s happening there. Nothing to do with maintaining access to their uranium mines, I’m sure.
Since we sold ours to Russia, seems prudent to have a back up.
Something tells me that the new operators of Niger will handle the Islamic State just fine.
If you buy the bullshit that the Islamic State is why we’re actually there.
I’m not going to sugar coat this, but it doesn’t look good for riders on Minnesoda’s public transportation.
Sounds like the ridership surge was driven mostly by criminals.
Fun fact: After Romania entered the EU the crime on public transport dropped by a lot, all the pickpockets went to western countries cause that where the money was
How many of those were low-level crimes like turnstyle jumping or public drunkenness versus death-penalty offences like pickpocketing or murder?
Our light rail has no turnstiles. It is on the honor system.
There is a very small chance some transit cop will ask to see your ticket on the light rail. But even if you didn’t pay, you get like 3 chances before there is a fine.

In 2022, the New York Times reported Biden was frustrated his AG Merrick Garland hadn’t prosecuted his chief political rival Donald Trump yet for J6 and believed it had to happen. Today, he got what he asked his DOJ for via the New York Times.
He is the (alleged) president. He can direct the justice department to do whatever he wants. I suspect he did, or didn’t have to because of what a corrupt cunte Garland is.
We read recently that behind closed doors Biden is a mean POS, so this is not surprising.

For all the noise that is swirling now and will, in all likelihood, continue throughout the course of this case, Smith has presented a powerful case, fulfilling his obligation to enforce the law without fear or favor. Trump, like every other citizen, will have a chance to establish his innocence in the court of law. That should happen as soon as possible for the sake of our democracy.
PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE.
How soviet.
I find myself in agreement with this. Get on with it already or step aside — stop playing their game.
‘Trump, like every other citizen, will have a chance to establish his innocence in the court of law.’
A defendant needing to establish their innocence in a criminal case is third world, tin-pot dictator bullshit. Either the MSNBC writer is woefully ignorant of how our justice system works (in theory) or is revealing their preferred preferences.
They’re trying to establish this as the norm. Be very worried.
Ack-shu-ally, proving innocence goes with the Napoleonic code, and all of the countries that derive from it. The Anglo (to a lesser extent) and American concept of innocent until proven guilty is the exception. An exception I fully support mind you, but it sure ain’t the worldwide standard.
‘…it sure ain’t the worldwide standard.’
I did say third world, tin-pot dictator bullshit, didn’t I? 😉
France is a tin-pot 3rd world country? Macron can only wish he was a dictator.
Everything outside of the United States is the third world.

Even the writers of Star Trek went out of their way to point out that totalitarian Kardassia was “guilty until proven innocent”.

Tucker Carlson Interview Reveals Joe Biden Was Part of Devon Archer and Hunter Biden’s Business Partnership
What difference, at this point, does it make? Trump is the real villain.
I know Joe could be flippin’ stupid (even before the apparent decline)… but does anyone else find themselves wondering if Beau was supposed to be his successor in the family until his early death? Hunter seems like such a colossal screw up it is hard to imagine Joe letting him set this crap up. Basically — we had Sonny die and only Fredo left… there’s no Michael in the family (and Vito is a bit of an idiot to begin with). Just can’t help but wonder.
I agree with this take.
He’s no JFK or RFK, or even Teddy.
That was exactly the plan. Beau was supposed to take his senate seat. It was well known.
This tends to affirm the Zeihan perspective on China. Aside from the demographics, when Xi inevitably croaks, the power struggle is going to rip the country apart.
The problem with Zeihan isn’t necessarily his predictions, it’s his prescriptions. He tells the MIC and the US globalists what they want to hear, “the world needs The Global Cop.”
Weird, I recall him saying we Americans, the people that pay for that, are fed up with it and that’s part of why Trump won in ’16. Also, even though we underpin that system, we don’t rely on it.
He was correct on that observation.
It’s his predictions that the world will devolve into chaos unless we “secure trade routes” and other global cop bs that serve to justify DC’s wants and desires.
Again, we don’t rely on the trade routes being secured – lots of other countries do. I tend to believe we could do that, with the Navy, without all of the other bullshit military presence around the globe; so we could do it, cheaper, if we were smart about it. Dump NATO and every dollar we put in there as a start.
He kind of says both things. He sure as hell is all in on Ukraine.
I gave up getting anything honest on Ukraine almost from the start. He must have “evolved” on that, because originally he presented a fair case for why Russia had semi-legit reasons based on history.
They make the obvious error of taking Communist Party economic statistics at face value, too.

Neil deGrasse Tyson under fire after declaring gender is a spectrum
Now that’s science.
we exaggerate whatever feature we want
You can put lipstick on a pig…
“Why do you care?” he added.
I’m a scientist after all.
“when we wake up in the morning, we exaggerate whatever feature we want to portray the gender of our choice”
I certainly don’t. I don’t think most men do. Women’s dress and presentation seems to emphasize their secondary sexual characteristics, but I don’t think ordinary men’s clothing does. “Exaggerate” is also an unfortunate choice of words for most normies, as well. That’s more a female impersonator/MTF thing.
And no, my “gender” isn’t a “choice” that I make when I wake up in the morning, or at any time.
T-shirts and sweatshorts exaggerate my masculinity? I mean, I suppose I could shave off my beard, but that’s not a day-to-day decision.
If it wasn’t for his hoodie, Fetterlump would be mistaken for a woman very easily.
Jackets with padded shoulders do.
I have a beard because I don’t want to shave every day…or every week for that matter.
*also because I am a manly man
either the one you’re assigned
OK Tyson – who does that assigning?
Like I said earlier, I think this proves the opposite of what the trans movement is preaching.
He’s admitting that your feelings can change over time. The trans zealots are telling everyone that these feelings are immutable and will never change. That is why it is so important to start hormones and surgery so early.
Tyson’s ideas would suggest that lopping your breasts off on Tuesday because you feel extra butch might be a bad idea because you might be feeling extra femme on Thursday.
the fun part is that clothes /makeup are cultural, so socially constructed… But those do not change the inherent biology. Because a man in Ethiopia dresses differently than one in Sweden does not make him a different sex.
Gender is a spectrum. Sex isn’t.
“Each person’s male or female biology is subordinate to the “gender” they display with their clothes and makeup, says Neil deGrasse Tyson, the progressive science explainer.”
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/08/02/watch-science-explainer-degrasse-tyson-converts-transgenderism/
I don’t see where he said that.
Gender is a spectrum. Sex isn’t.
No.
I don’t see where he said that.
The first thing he said “Apparently, the XX/XY chromosomes are insufficient”
So which obviously stupid argument are you making? Gender isn’t a spectrum, or sex is a spectrum?
“The first thing he said “Apparently, the XX/XY chromosomes are insufficient””
Which is not saying each person’s male or female biology is subordinate to the gender they display.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, the science-splainer, is the one conflating sex and gender in his argument. Chromosomes are insufficient, also “Suppose no matter my chromosomes, today I feel 80 percent female, 20 male. I’m going to put on makeup. Tomorrow I might feel 80 percent male. I’ll remove the makeup and I’ll wear a muscle shirt. ” What is a male, what is a female, on what scientific basis can one be 80% female?
I know you love making the distinction between sex and gender. If we are discussing science and physical realities, how is the idea that gender is a spectrum supported by science?
He’s saying “feel 80 percent male”. Admittedly, it’s poor language, but he’s not saying someone can be 80% male.
“If we are discussing science and physical realities, how is the idea that gender is a spectrum supported by science?”
Why does it need to be? I would think it’s obvious to most people that Marilyn Monroe was more feminine than Janet Reno. No science needed. A person can be more feminine or less feminine, but a person can’t be more female or less female. Either they both produced large gametes, or they didn’t.
Didn’t Shakespeare settle this already?

That’s not why.
Trump was just indicted by federal prosecutors for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
We’re coming toward an inflection point— and a fraught moment in the history of our democracy.
But frankly, considering the interests of justice and the rule of law, it’s about damn time.
You need to take a long walk off a short pier, you perpetually and irredeemably dishonest cunte.
Speaking of turncoats…
Donald Trump is an actual traitor. A Benedict Arnold. Stain on history.

There is a simple solution to this.
The Roosevelt Hotel NYC
100s of migrants are sleeping outside of the hotel due to no more rooms at the hotel. Some have been out here since 10 am . This is extremely dangerous, and NYC can’t handle this migrant crisis.
Boo hoo. Come to San Antonio.
There is a simple solution – that sounds like what the Nazis said
NYC’s proportional share of the illegals that have come to this country over the last few years is around 130,000. They have been bitching and crying about 90,000 actually showing up there (which number I am not inclined to take at face value – I bet it’s lower). They aren’t even a sanctuary city, since they are now actively discouraging illegals, and they haven’t even taken their “fair share”.
Keep the busses coming, I say.
Hey now…

Politicians are just actors, kayfabe for the masses.
There’s always somebody else pulling their strings. If an American politician tries to buck that system, you see what happens.
Ah the unseen puppet masters. There must be SOMEONE there in charge – this shit just can’t happen by chance. What kind of world would that be?
There’s multiple factions behind the scenes; whether it’s the agencies, the banks, the MIC, pharma, whomever. They’re not necessarily coordinated nor do they all get along.
Hell, Biden is so beholden to so many people at this point he doesn’t know who owns him.
And how many federal politicians stick their neck out without firm backing from someone else? Sure, the politicians have their own power, but it’s limited in scope. Trump found that out the hard way.
I’d say Obama was just about the perfect frontman for the DC nomenklatura.
The masses demand to be led, by one means or another.

Mano a mano
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday that he would be willing to debate Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom live on air.
“Absolutely. I’m game. Let’s get it done. Just tell me when and where. We’ll do it,” DeSantis told Hannity.
The idea came about in June, when Hannity interviewed Newsom and asked if he would be willing to debate DeSantis.
“I’m all in. Count on it,” Newsom said at the time.
“You would do a two-hour debate with Ron DeSantis?” Hannity asked.
“Make it three,” Newsom said.
On Wednesday, Hannity framed it as a “policy-based debate” between the leader of a red state and the leader of a blue state.
“I floated the idea of a policy-based debate, you know, red vs. blue, red state vs. blue state, between Gavin Newsom and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis,” he said, moments before DeSantis joined.
No date has yet been set for the debate, but a spokesman for Newsom said he’s proposed Nov. 8 or Nov. 10 for the event.
I hope the roof caves in and kills everyone.
Could set up a precedent – I’d watch: Sen. Fetterman vs. Sen. McConnell. AOC vs. Boebert. Palin vs. Harris.

Graham delivered his warning after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Russia would “have to” use nuclear weapons if Ukrainian forces threaten Russian territory.
“To my Russian friends who talk about using nuclear weapons in Ukraine: You need to understand that would be an attack on NATO itself, given Ukraine’s proximity to NATO territory,” Graham tweeted.
“Time to sober up, realize that your barbaric invasion of Ukraine is not working, withdraw and save many young Russians from pointless death,” Graham said.
Unless I am mistaken, Ukraine is not a NATO country and nuclear fallout is to the northeast. So shut up, you lying cunte.

An Unsettling Hint at How Much Fraud Could Exist in Science
Two experts on dishonesty are separately accused of tampering with data for the same research paper. Has this ever happened before?
Two years ago, an influential 2012 study of dishonesty co-authored by the social psychologist and best-selling author Dan Ariely came under scrutiny. A group of scientists argued on their blog that some of the underlying data—describing the numbers of miles that a car-insurance company’s customers reported having driven—had been faked, “beyond any shadow of a doubt.”

I haven’t read it yet, but it looks like the kind of story that needs telling….. and nobody is telling.
This is the good kind of bullying.
Odd. The headlines seem to have a noticeable emphasis on the “randomly assigned” aspect of the judge in Trump’s J6 case. The DoJ would never have gone out of their way to find somebody with a well established “hangin’ judge” track record for a high profile show trial. It was just good old fashioned dumb luck.
Funny… I noted that they emphasized the judge in the NBC today story about the indictment – gleefully noting the reputation for convicting Jan 6 defendants and handing down extra-long sentences.
I don’t think I have noticed that sort of coverage before.

Britain’s frontier people
The enduring legacy of the Border Reivers
https://www.edwest.co.uk/p/britains-frontier-people
“The border people are a unique subset of the English nation, being the last to undergo the pacification of government. Until the Union of Crowns in 1603, the region’s unusual position outside the orbit of either London and Edinburgh helped create a culture that was clannish and marked by violent feuds and cattle rustling.
Among the notorious Borderer clans were the Scotts, Burns and Irvines north of the border, and Fenwicks, Millburns, Charltons and Musgraves on the English side, while some could be found on both, among them the Halls, Nixons and Grahams. Many of these clans were outlaws and some were lawmen; others were both or either, depending on circumstances.
This proto-Wild West produced many characters, and among the famous border reivers of legend were men such as Archie Fire-the-Braes, Buggerback, Davy the Lady, Jok Pott the Bastard, Wynkyng Will, Nebless [noseless] Clem, Fingerless Well and Dog Dyntle [penis] Elliot.
‘Debatable Land’ most likely comes from batten, common land where livestock could be pastured, and it was this pastoral economy which shaped their psychology: the importance of honour, and a reputation for violence and revenge, as a deterrent against predators.
Violence was so common on the border that there sprung a tradition whereby truces were arranged in return for ‘blackmail’, a tribute to border chiefs, from the Middle English male, tribute; only in the nineteenth century did this come to mean any sort of extortion.”
I think Thomas Sowell had some things to say about these fellas

My book is up to 21,000 words. My new plan is to write 3,000 words a day or so for the next 20 days so I can finish it. Part of the reason I’m writing it is to prove to myself I can write a book with 80,000 words.
I don’t wanna be a dick or nothing, but is the purpose to write a book with 80,000 words, or write a good book with 80,000 words.
For that you need to write 100K words, then cut it back to 80K.
Try double that.
My snippets file is almost always 3/4 of the size of the finished book.
I trim shockingly little. In fact, I more often have to add words to clarify scenes or better set up plot points.
It depends on the author and the output from the drafting process.
Not necessarily.
It depends on a lot of factors. But do find an honest editor willing to apply the red pen.
The latter would be better, but even writing a bad book that’s 80,000 words long is still an accomplishment. For me at least.
When it’s done, I’ll email it to anyone here who asks for it.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?
Whether or not former President Donald Trump is convicted for the recent charges of conspiracy and obstruction filed in Washington, DC, there will be Americans who condemn the verdict. That is not unprecedented or unexpected. Trump has rejected the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith as politically motivated and has been summoned to appear for a hearing on Thursday.
What will matter most, going forward, is whether the American people see the trial as fair; as such, public perceptions of the judge will be enormously important. Fortunately, the judge assigned to the case, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, has the necessary experience and background to oversee a public trial that is fair and respectful, especially for this defendant.
Given Trump’s past statements about judges overseeing cases in which he is involved, he will probably claim that Chutkan is biased against him because former President Barack Obama nominated her for the bench (even though she received a 95-0 confirmation in a divided Senate). She is, in fact, a judge with an ingrained commitment to defendants’ rights and one who recognizes the danger of overly aggressive prosecutors.
Chutkan’s sentences for January 6 defendants have shown that she takes seriously what she’s described from the bench as the “violent occupation of the US Capitol” and “an assault on the American people.” She has given heavy sentences for those convicted of attacking the Capitol. She has also shown that she will not impose a particular sentence just because prosecutors recommend it. She has thus gone further than what prosecutors recommended on several occasions.
This does not mean, however, that Chutkan has demonstrated any degree of bias or prejudice against those defendants or against Trump. In fact, Chutkan’s background shows that she is someone who will do everything she can to protect and respect the rights of every criminal defendant who comes before her.
Never ever doubt that this person was delivered to us as if from Heaven to oversee this trial. When he is unable to prove his innocence, she will smite him a mighty blow. Democracy will be vndicated.
Hilarious….. her demonstrated bias does not mean she is biased…..
Literally cribbing from Orwell.

That’s what I thought. Who knows what horrible harassment and threats he endured. And now, the newspapers will have a field day with his reputation.
I knew the byline before I clicked.
“The aforementioned memos, which were accidentally shared with the defendants as part of the discovery process, were ruled off-limits for defense use and placed under seal….
Meanwhile, prosecutors kept showing that they weren’t willing to fight fair. Motions filed in June sought to stop the defendants “from referencing the First Amendment and ‘free speech’ at any time in the presence of the jury,” from bringing up “the legality or illegality of any advertisement” that ran on Backpage.com, or from referencing Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, among other things.
In late July, Humetewa partially rejected the First Amendment motion but granted most of the government’s other motions seeking to limit how Larkin and the others could defend themselves.”
So we all Alex Jones now.
You will only defend yourself in a way the prosecution deems suitable.

I wrote that in some markets Tesla has this feature because in some parts of the world people need to put children in the front seat and not everyone drives passenger vehicles larger than small commercial delivery vehicles.
To one of the poster’s credit he admitted there was a reason to both ask and disable the airbag.
Airbag laws are stupid.
Kids cling to those airbag laws. They are terrified to ride in older cars, call them ‘Death traps.’ It’s sad. Fuckers don’t know how to enjoy themselves without a full safety net.

The NSA building I worked in had a kind of free speech wall near the entrance where people could air grievances. The first note I put on it was “happiness is a belt-fed weapon”, which was removed along with some others after about a day. After that, all I posted on that board was WW2-style “Kilroy was here” doodles.
I also had a Bible verse (Psalm 18:37) taped to my work computer that got removed by a butt-hurt coworker. The verse said: I pursue my enemies and I catch them. I do not stop until I destroy them. My SIGINT work supported combat operations.
So yes, there are various forms of official and unofficial censorship in the military and IC.
On a side note, it seems many Americans cannot understand that in many parts of the world, monarchies or dictatorships are the most stable form of government, and that is preferable to chaos. Pluralistic, multiparty, democracies and republics have a long list of prerequisites, the most fundamental of which is a basic level of prosperity.
I had a plushie hanging in a noose in my barracks room. I’m sure that would not be allowed today.

I don’t think prosperity is a requirement. It might be a requirement to embrace principles that lead to prosperity.
Good point
I’m not hyperpartisan, you’re hyperpartisan
Psychologists tell us that bad players engage in projection in order to shift blame for their own misdeeds onto others. That was certainly the case in the Badger State this week, when a spokesperson for the beleaguered Republican Party of Wisconsin tried to suggest that the ascendance of a liberal majority on the state’s Supreme Court— which was completed on Tuesday with the swearing-in of newly elected Justice Janet Protasiewicz—would lead to “an era of hyper-partisanship brought on by Protasiewicz and her allies as they use the courts to implement their partisan policy agenda.”
In fact, the new 4-3 bloc on the highest court of the nation’s most contentious battleground state is in a position to finally bring an end to the era of extremism that kicked off more than a decade ago, when a conservative majority made the court an extension of rigidly right-wing Republican Governor Scott Walker. Throughout Walker’s eight-year tenure as a fiercely anti-union and pro-corporate governor, the court upheld even his most radical and lawless moves. And after Walker’s defeat in 2018, the court continued to do the bidding of the Republicans who control the state legislature—most recently by maintaining radically gerrymandered legislative district lines that tip the balance in favor of GOP candidates, and by regularly sustaining Republican assaults on voting rights and democracy itself.
Yes, yes of course, the long shadow of right wing authoritarianism has for the moment been brushed aside. For the moment, anyway, but we must be ever vigilant and stamp out any possibility of Republican electoral success, because that’s how democracy works.

I have no idea which group of bureaucrats is acting in bad faith (and it can be both), but I’m sure that the public is not being served. I’m also sure that green energy will never work because we will never allow any mining to get the materials needed for batteries and solar panels.
Imagine the outrage if a private company did what the MPCA did (deleting emails, destroying records, etc.)
Imagine the lack of outrage if federal officials did the same. Repeatedly.
Pushing the boundaries of science
Waves are getting bigger and surf at least 13 feet (about 4 meters) tall is becoming more common off California’s coast as the planet warms, according to innovative new research that tracked the increasing height from historical data gathered over the past 90 years.
Oceanographer Peter Bromirski at Scripps Institution of Oceanography used the unusual method of analyzing seismic records dating back to 1931 to measure the change in wave height.
When waves ricochet off the shore, they collide with incoming waves and cause a ripple of energy through the seafloor that can be picked up by seismographs designed to detect earthquakes. The greater the impact, the taller the wave is.
——-
“Until I stumbled upon this data set, it was almost impossible to make that comparison with any kind of reliability,” Bromirski said.
To go back further, Bromirski gathered a team of undergraduate students to analyze daily seismic readings covering decades of winters. It was a slow, painstaking process that took years and involved digitizing drums of paper records. But he said it was important in learning how things have changed over nearly a century along California’s coast.
They found that average winter wave heights have grown by as much as a foot since 1970, when global warming is believed to have begun accelerating. Swells at least 13 feet tall (about 4 meters) are also happening a lot more often, occurring at least twice as often between 1996 to 2016 than from 1949 to 1969.
Surf Nazis rejoice.

The latest heat wave is fueled by human-caused climate change from burning fossil fuels, but despite the settled science, the overwhelming evidence and the billions of dollars in increases for disaster preparation and recovery that climate change is costing the country, Republicans have grown more skeptical of the need to prioritize fixing it, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0krkHRBaVI
Bromirski was also surprised to find extended periods of exceptionally low wave heights prior to about 1970 and none of those periods since.
“Erosion, coastal flooding, damage to coastal infrastructure is, you know, something that we’re seeing more frequently than in the past,” Bromirski said. “And, you know, combined with sea level rise, bigger waves mean that is going to happen more often.”
Changes in waves are showing up in other ways, too.
“There’s about twice as many big wave events since 1970 as there was prior to 1970,” Bromirski said.
The study, published Tuesday in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, adds to the evidence that climate change is causing massive shifts in the world’s oceans. Other studies have shown waves are not only getting taller but also more powerful.
That’s it, then. Abandon hope and head for the hills.
