So I drive my kids to school, get to my final destination and find my tire was chewed up by a gremlin.

Somehow I didn’t die—or even lose tire pressure. So I am now at a Llantera (Mexican-owned tire shop) getting a tire thrown on with approximately 6 months of wear on the tread.
¡enlaces!
While I will be the first to admit this event was really funny, people actually did die.
In news that is likely too local, Joe Arpaio is not dead.
i love how much mental energy is being expended over words on a map.
This is actually a really big deal. Colombia is currently a great place for passport bros.
I had my concerns until I got here:
A joint statement signed by more than a dozen rights organisations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, demanded her immediate release.
Please for the love of all that is holy, put him in a Mexican prison.
This is how I knew I was old. I had to explain to my kids this guy was the biggest name in music. He got Eddie Van Halen to come up with this riff. Have a great Tuesday!

I saw the documentary. MJ ripped off WA.
By midsummer 2026, taxpayers are projected to pay $289 million in compliance costs for the sheriff’s office alone, plus another $23 million on legal costs and $36 million for a staff of policing professionals who monitor the agency’s progress in complying with the overhauls.
Someone has a not too bad grift.
But in one part of the video produced by Full Circle Media, which has received more than 60 million views in a week, MrBeast advertises a chocolate product as a “Mayan dessert” and urges viewers to buy it.
Is it moldy?
That’s dumb. Everyone knows Mayan civilization was in the jungle, not the desert.
In sporting news a Mexican kid is leading the Giro d’Italia. With 11 stages to go he probably won’t win, but it’s still cool nonetheless. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/giro-ditalia-2025-standings/
I can access the site on mobile, but not PC.
I blame the French.
Looks like we’re in for some intermittent access issues, Webdom is aware and keeping a baleful eye on it.
So you’re saying it’s okay to start bombing Froggy?
First, let me liberate their cheese.
Alonysious:
It is criminal that I can’t find the clip from Death Race 2000: “It was the FRENCH!”
tariffs?
We reached our allocated Misinformation Limit in some European countries.
2nd attempt
I am now at a Llantera (Mexican-owned tire shop) getting a tire thrown on
They didn’t try to browbeat you into buying four new tires because “You have to replace them s a full set or terrible things will happen!” reasons?
Yes they did.
Looks like sidewall dry rot to me… very lucky it didn’t blow out at speed.
It’s but a scratch.
Aint no thang. Stick some duck tape on it.
No road hazard coverage?
You want me to pay for AAA?
My favorite video of the ship.

Damn.
“What’d you like, Normie?”
“A reason to live. Give me another beer.”
“What’s the story, Norm?”
“Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer.”
“What’s going on, Mr. Peterson?”
“A flashing sign in my gut that says, ‘Insert beer here.'”
He always came in with a joke. So I’m making sure that’s the way he Wendt.
It’s about fucking time
Senate Republicans will move this week to nix California’s vehicle emission waivers, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said, setting up a high-stakes fight over the chamber’s rules.
Thune said in a Tuesday floor speech that he will move forward with three House-passed resolutions that use the Congressional Review Act to roll back EPA waivers that effectively let California set its own emission standards. Thune’s announcement comes after weeks of internal deliberations within the conference and public pressure from members of his leadership team to hold a vote.
The “emergency” is past.
There is apparently a big fight over technicalities and nitpicky jargon based distinctions. A bunch of nonsense about whether or not the filibuster applies.
If they do that, and now that McStain isn’t there to stop them, I will hold my nose and vote R.
Which one of you did this? https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/sf-street-signs-vandalized-allude-sex-work-20335773.php
I’m more worried about being run down by a guy in a wheelchair.
In San Francisco, with those hills? You should.
In SF the sex worker and the guy in the wheelchair are probably the same person.
The bottom sign must be a pedo chasing a kid.
Are you calling cyclists pedos?
pedo is short for pedalist?
Exactly where are these fantastic amounts of money being sprayed? And why is it just going up and up?
Lawfare.
The Donald picking a fight with Massie is idiotic.
The FAA is jumping on the ‘AI’ train…with shit data. Im up for the challenge and trying to get a detail to clean that data up.
He picks a fight with Massie every month, like clockwork…
Almost like it is a cycle of some sorts…
Are you implying they just don’t get along — period?
Pre-Massie Syndrome?
DT should just go with the flow.
Whenever he feels his blood rising he should tamp on it.
Since the profiling verdict, the sheriff’s office has been criticized for disparate treatment of Hispanic and Black drivers in a series of studies of its traffic stops.
Never mentioned: the disparate behavior of Mexican and black drivers when stopped, or the disparate likelihood of them having active warrants.
What is even the purpose of this petty bullshit?
It’s hilarious for one thing.
It creates more pettiness but directed at something that doesn’t actually matter..
My honest guess/ hope? Laser pointer distraction dots for the Useful Idiots to froth over. Overwhelms them. Expends their time and mental abilities, what little they have, on bullshit, all so they can’t focus on the important shit being done.
I haven’t heard a froth about the CA car regs being stopped. Seems they’d care. But they were too busy catching that laser RIGHT OVER THERE! .. so an Executive volley went over their heads, unnoticed.
I’d love for this to be the Oval Office pitch meeting
You have never been in a dick measuring contest, have you?
Trump’s was live answering questions from journos about the “Golden dome” he’s pushing for the Space Force. Damn, it’s refreshing to see someone in the Oval Office who can maintain coherent sentences on the fly. (Gotta burn, for Dems. Internally, natch. They’d never admit it.)
The change in sentience between Biden and Trump is mighty rankling for Blue. They walked themselves into a predictable problem, hoisted by their own retard when mindless Joe revealed himself in the debate. So journos were either unbelievably bad at their jobs, or they were in on the whole scheme by *not* reporting it. (Perfect time for Both!)
Sincerest internet thanks, WebDom.
Indeed! Three cheers for WebDom!
Zombie merger
The companies face a May 21 deadline for the completion of a fresh national security review of their proposed tie-up, which was blocked by Biden on national security grounds in January following a prior review. Trump would then have 15 days to decide the fate of the transaction, although the timeline could slip.
It is unclear if the billions in new investment will be enough to sway Trump, though two other sources said his administration sought the increased investment.
The new pledge should be enough to entice the Trump administration to approve the merger, said Nick Klein, a lawyer from DLA Piper.
“Increased investment to expand steel production in the United States is critical to our national security. I think the Trump administration recognizes this and will approve the deal, Klein said.
This time for sure!
IIRC this was a win-win for all sides.
Literally nobody else was going to come in and spend money on American steel production.
The FAA is jumping on the ‘AI’ train…with shit data.
Oddly enough, I was just looking at some AI headline and thinking, “Sure that will work, with a big enough team of humans doing data entry and designing the model.”
I’ll be interested if they comply.

More anti-Democracy from SCOTUS.
Two liberal justices—Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson—noted their dissent.
Jackson wrote that Libby hadn’t met the high bar for emergency relief, noting that the First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was “moving quickly” to hear her claims, and that there weren’t “any significant legislative votes scheduled in the upcoming weeks” in the Maine legislature.
Blocking insignificant votes is okay though?
Why is this the first time I’ve heard of the Wienie 500?
Are you entering the competition? *flexes
Why would he want to get into another rat race he hasn’t trained for?
I stopped training during COVID.
I’d watch a bunch of wienie-mobiles go head to head in a demolition derby.
I don’t know man… sounds like a bit of a sausage party to me. Not my thing — but if you’re into it, you do you.
C’mon, SDF. Don’t be such a brat.
Me: Indianapolis is hosting a competition for fastest wiener in the country.
Wife: Boy, thirty years ago you would’ve been a real contender for the title.
80 year old male with a personal physician and annual exams last had prostate test twelve years ago. Sure.
Of course, they would only do the bare minimum for an 80 year old man who was the President of the US.
And they never did any bloodwork for 12 years. Sure.
Best Politico headline.
Yeah that is eels and hovercraft territory.
Turnip! Buttocks!
I was expecting a comically-shaped vegetable.
Where is the comically-shaped vegetable?
https://youtu.be/hQZXMz-suZw
Headline:
Joe Biden had unrivaled medical care. How did his cancer go undetected?
How precious.
Just like his lack of mental acuity.
This. Their little coup/usurpation is transparent as hell. They did it because they have gotten away with cheating so many times they thought they could keep pushing and keep pushing. If there are no consequences this time next time will be worse.
Fox reported he hadn’t had a prostate cancer test since 2014. “Not recommended for men once they turn 70.” He probably wishes now he asked for a finger up the butt and a psa test a little more often.
I can’t imagine why not.
“I can’t imagine why not.”
Beware what lies within. Don’t wanna open Pandora’s ass.
Given that someone had a hand up that puppet’s ass for four years, you’d think they would have discovered it sooner.
Why is this the first time I’ve heard of the Wienie 500?
Genius!
I don’t know what a passport bro is, but I am kind of amused at yet another country drifting into the warm, embracing arms of the CCP.
Just don’t come crying to us when they get done bleeding you dry.
I’ve never heard it, either, but I suppose I’m half of one: ‘”Passport bro” is a term referring to Western men who travel to developing countries, particularly in Asia and Latin America, to find wives or partners.”
Where do I ‘fit’ in? I had a Singaporean gf for a bit. Plenty of vending machine sex in Korea. I had to get extra pages added to my passport cuz it was too full. (That took several months to process.)
“The term implies they are seeking women who they perceive as more traditional and willing to conform to patriarchal roles.” Flag on the field: Assumption without evidence. (Partly true, IMO, but rather guys who struck out at home and found someone abroad and married there. Western citizenship is a huge draw for gals.) Several of my expat friends have wives, families and careers over there, still. Good on them.
Things nobody expected:
New Orleans jail employee arrested, accused of helping mass escape of inmates
I, for one, am completely taken aback.
Speaking of China – I’m willing to expand my preference of “embargo them until they change their government / labor practices” to Canada as well — embargo them until they oh… I don’t know… stop killing those they think are undesirable?
The pamphlet in question appears to be on the “anti” side and political… but if the “kids can be signed up for MAiD without parental consent” is accurate… that’s beyond the pale.
Wow…
MAiD in Canada not the meaning you expect.
I was hoping for a French Canadian Maid.
Yvette is mine.
Impose? I’ll defend her and you’ll be found in the somewhere, killed by the something.
After watching Michael Jackson Beat It, it occurred to me that I’ve watched or listened to Wierd Al Eat It a million times over MJ.
Also, I have no idea what “show them hot funky” means.
Now I feel like picking up a Kaiser roll.
I am the same way with Gangster Paradise and Ridin’ Dirty.
I listened to the originals once, but I’m not sure I made it all the way through either of them.
Michael likes his food spicy?
I wasn’t aware any of those cars were still on the road. Was it badly damaged in the run-in with your tire?
It was the same gremlin Shatner saw.
Maybe it was the gremlin Bugs Bunny saw.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHSixADaDAQ
It was the one Bug Bunny saw.
the “kids can be signed up for MAiD without parental consent”
For some reason I am reminded of the Philip K Dick story The Pre-Persons.
I wasn’t aware any of those cars were still on the road.
One or two
OK…plumber left.
The lawyer thing in El Salvador is a bit concerning. Still, not surprising and not my country.
I dont know anything about Mr. Beast. Seems like the usual Mexican shenanigans to me. He should ignore them.
You’ve never heard of Mr. Beast?
You’re just going to have to trust me on this, let them throw him in Mexican prison.
Very well. off to the Mexican slammer he should go
Some rich dude with a pedo smile – that’s all I know.
Joe Bidens sudden cancer – someone reminded us this morning that Joe told us three years ago he had cancer and that got buried.
Remember this gem? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGRnhBmHYN0
Maybe we should have listened.
Meh, I am pretty sure he was unartfully (and falsely) trying to suggest that he put in a place an “anti voter-fraud” organization.
What he was trying to say? I was referring to what he said. What he said that he wasn’t supposed to say and got himself hidden away in a basement so he would not try to say something else that would let the cat out of the bat.
When the doddering senescent fool said that out loud there were a million rationalizations about why he did not say what he said just like when he said he had cancer. Now we know he had cancer.
The truth of it is they cheated their asses off.
I agree with Rhy. This is him saying he’s building the biggest ever scheme to *stop* voter fraud. Duh, they never did that, but that’s not an egregious slip of grammar –>meaning. The did encourage illegal voting, prodding it along w/o the consent of NYC hotels and more.
I don’t like these attacks cuz there’s better fruit to grasp. More concrete. Shit that doesn’t allow the conversants a chance to deflect away. The chart of voting numbers, with 2020 having something like 20M more than ‘normal’ is more powerful.
Not sure who or where that graph came from and I can’t look it up at the momo, but that’s a discrepancy that is purposefully being ignored by The News.
Titty Tuesday doin’ the work.
https://archive.is/mr7oN
See. This timing is more appropriate. You’re used to postin’ tittays when I’m in my car on lunch having a smoke.
I don’t wanna be caught toobin’ on my lunch in. Temptation requires my stoicism.
(I kinda did break that guideline, once.) (This is also kinda a weak batch. Gal with strawberries on her puppies wins the day. (That cute Asian gal is also a cute Asian gal.)
Maybe drugs/ass, but as I went down some youtube rabbit holes, I found a NY Times vid from 2 days ago with three professors from Yale who are all leaving to go to Toronto. The lead is “We’re experts in fascism. We’re leaving the US.”
One of them is Timothy Synder whose “reasons are more complicated. Primarily, he’s leaving to support his wife, Professor Shore, and their children, and to teach at a large public university in Toronto, a place he says can host conversations about freedom. At the same time, he shares the concerns expressed by his colleagues and worries that those kinds of conversations will become ever harder to have in the United States.”
Yep, you heard it. A bunch of academics at YALE, are worried about right-wing politicians shutting down freedom of speech. Idiots. And they, like most of the people I work with, just can’t figure out why there is a decline in respect for academics (FIRE ranks Yale 135 out of about 250 for freedom of speech).
Shutting down protestor bank accounts is not fascist at all.
Just don’t get out of line or Canada will freeze your bank account. But that’s just common sense, not fascism.
Yup. Canada. A bastion of freedom.
lol Dumbasses.
But I’m sure they confidently believe all the correct things – until the correct things change.
That’s just what I’d expect the fascists at FIRE to say.
Is it too late to submit my Summer reading list?
Sure, Jan. 🙄

“Transphobic policy changes”
Is it transphobic to not kiss trans people’s asses because it looks more like the withdrawal of privileges to me or should the military allocate time for frontline mangina dialation?
“This is actually a really big deal. Colombia is currently a great place for passport bros.”
STEVE SMITH LAUGH. THEM FIND OUT CHINA IS ASSHOE.
