Fuck Amazon with a rusty chainsaw.
3 separate orders set for delivery yesterday. All 3 needed for vacation logistics.
None of them showed up. One order gets jacked up. Sure. Shit happens. 3 orders on the same fucking day is a signal that there are deep problems with their delivery systems.
Had to improv parts of my packing. Just barely satisfied enough with the result, though the shit I bought for the job would have been MUCH better.
No idea why this was slotted here….
Maybe Joe Biden auto signed for them?
Seems like he’s running their shipping and delivery logistics.
A couple weeks back, I ordered some laundry detergent from Amazon (stock commodity, nothing special), it was to back fill the home supply, so no rush on it. Went with the Amazon day delivery, which they missed (after loading it on the truck), get an update that they’re sorry and will try again. This happened two more times over the next week. Amazon finally cancelled the order and refunded me, causing me to go right back and order the same thing again. This time it showed up as expected.

I concur. Thanks especially for the second link, a tune my old band had a great time covering.

There’s this big kerfuffle over the binomial designation for Denisovans. Genetic work has identified additional bones as Denisovan, including fossils which contained three different provisional species names – H. Longi, H. Daliensis, and H. Juluensis. Now the academics are all rules lawyering the official binomial designation for Denisovans. I never really paid much attention to now the name nomination process worked. My own recommendation is H. Sapiens. They don’t seem to really qualify as a separate species given how many extant humans are descended from them, and they are contemporaries of anatomically modern humans. I’m thinking of writing up a longer article on the topic of paleolithic hominids, but I have to find the motivation.
I’m not sure where I was going with the initial comment except rolling my eyes at academians and their quibbling over process in a bitter battle for credit for naming the group.
I occasionally, and from a position of profound ignorance, wonder if the speciation threshold is set way too low.
“This is the western white-striped variegated wombat. This is the eastern white-striped stratified wombat. You can tell the difference by counting how many hairs are in each stripe.”
I think we’re in agreement. The basic premise in my article idea was that H. Sapiens encompased Neaderthals and Denisovans and that the robust characteristics of those regional variants got selected out by preferential breeding with the more neotenous classical Sapiens which was more attractive.
Same thing happens in two of my obscure hobby interests. Over the last 30 years I’ve watched genus Miltonia and Miltoniopsis swap; what used to be Miltonias (‘pansy orchids’ due to their distinctive shape & color patterns) are now Miltoniopsis. Plays hell with naming/re-naming the numerous hybrids. Genus Dendrobium is, frankly, a disaster area, deeply in need of genetic analysis, review, and wholesale revision.
Killifish genera and species keep getting split, renamed, etc. The worship of ‘first description’ has become a curse, yet drives careers and most of this effing about 🙁
Would there be interest in a hobbyist overview of home orchid growing and related topics?
I would say yes. Past experience has shown an eclectic interest from this community, and more variety in content is always appreciated.

“The Pakistani immigrant began scouring the Upper East Side for new storefronts, several of which were interested in taking him on as a tenant — until he learned that he would not be permitted to move his tobacco license to a new address.
City law prohibits such licenses from being transferable between locations and places a cap on how many permits can operate within council districts at a time.
Business owners like Ahmed have the opportunity to apply for the license lottery just twice a year — in April and October….
The district’s City Council member Julie Menin is actively pushing a bill that would amend the “overly draconian” law so that electronic cigarette and tobacco licenses, which are separate, could be transferred within a community.”

The Key to the Young Male Vote: Beer
Democrats should embrace a reduction in the drinking age. (Republicans too.)
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-key-to-the-young-male-vote-beer-556d06ae?st=oy8XjY&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
The article states Louisiana was the last holdout on raising drinking age to 21. Not mentioned was when LA did finally capitulate to Uncle Sugar, the left a loophole. They finally added a law that made it illegal to buy alcohol if you were under 21. But they left the law that made it legal to sell alcohol to anyone over 18. Legal to sell, illegal to buy meant only the young lushes, that couldn’t handle their liquor got cited and nothing happened to the seller.
“An investigation has been initiated by the State of Florida against influencer Lilly Tino for filming a bathroom video at Walt Disney World. Florida Attorney General James Uthmier publicly addressed this issue in a social media post from right-wing content creator Benny Johnson, asserting the importance of protecting privacy in public restrooms. Uthmier emphasized Florida’s zero-tolerance stance regarding unauthorized filming in sensitive areas, stating, “We do not tolerate men or boys in women’s restrooms, gyms, private spaces.”
The legal ramifications for Tino could be serious, as they could face up to five years in prison and a fine of $5,000 under criminal code § 810.145.”

Women often take bathroom bathroom selfies, but they don’t pee standing up.
It is highly inappropriate to film or photograph in public restrooms. Even more so when you’re deliberately trying to antagonize people for engagement.
Tino is an asshole, give him the prison time so that his fifteen minutes of fame is gone by the time he gets out.
J.K. Rowling is pretty much the only reason I have Twitter, to watch her just crush troons on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis.
I know, I know – this does not bespeak well of my character. Anyway…
I had never, not for a second, considered that this whole fight over men in women’s bathrooms was really a fetish for the troons – until I saw J.K. Rowling explain it in a twitter slap-fight with some Brit tranny who has been all over her feed trying to dunk on her over photographing in women’s bathrooms.
Now that she’s pointed it out, I can’t unsee it. These guys get a sexual rush from going into the women’s room – as a dude pretending to be a woman – and either rub one out or take pictures, etc. It’s a trophy thing.
It sounds insane (because it is) but now that I’ve heard it I can’t put any other framing on this whole movement. I really think the only way this gets fixed is if other dudes just beat the living shit out of a few of these guys, 1970s-style (i.e. the way my father and uncles would have while having a couple of cold ones circa 1976.)
The increase of MTF started around 2005. And nothing else happened. Then, after same-sex marriage was legalized, the trans insanity happened. My issue with J.K. Rowling, besides her ignorance, is that she refuses to attack the root cause because she’s an identity politics lefty herself.
These troons are a nearly insignificant but amplified on TikTok. Most MTF do not get a sexual rush from going into the women’s room, just like anyone else using a bathroom.
Beating people up is a bad idea in general, and also now because masculine biological woman sometimes get accused of being trans.
CT – you’re drawing a distinction between the three main classes of gender insanity – depressed teenagers who need to cut way back on the social media, opportunistic fetishists, and people who are legitimately gender dysphoric.
This distinction does really exist, but it is frequently impossible to tell the three apart, especially because of how completely the medical profession has been colonized by the ‘trans healthcare’ crowd.
I do think that anyone of any gender or presentation who takes out a camera in a public restroom, should get a corrective beating just on general principles…
ES – I make the distinction between gender dysphoria and trender dysphoria.
“I do think that anyone of any gender or presentation who takes out a camera in a public restroom, should get a corrective beating just on general principles…”
Young women often take selfies in public bathrooms to post on IG, because bathrooms have mirrors and it shows that they are out at some bar or club.
They aren’t some man in the ladies room during the day at an amusement park for children.
Ozy, I don’t think men beating the shit of of the tranys would have the effect you are looking for, I think it needs to be women doing it. It needs to be rejected by the host, so to speak. And anytime a women gives credence to this idiocy it feeds the trans movement.
ZWAK – the problem is women will get hurt worse trying to beat up the cross-dressing man than if men take on that task.
Women go to the bathroom in packs, so I am not seeing that issue.
That’s a whole ‘nother cultural kettle of fish to unpack. And I’m not going to unpack it, other than to say that I have no problem with the worst being assumed of anyone who’s taking pictures, for any reason, in a public restroom.
CT – I’m not talking about young women here using their phones in a bathroom. I’m talking very specifically about M-E-N pretending to be women.
For the absence of confusion, I am talking about a person with cock and balls claiming the right to be in a W-O-(not)-M-e-n’s room.
As for whether or not beatings would help… well, we’ve not tried it yet, so I don’t think anyone can say that it wouldn’t work.
I have a sneaking suspicion that physical violence actually does solve more problems than people think it does, but that there was a concerted effort at de-masculinization of this country starting in the late-70s and -80s. Or maybe a better way to say it is that we had a wave of feminization and it included eliminating violence entirely from children’s lives. A big part of that is the anti-bullying stuff, which is really the exceptional (and aberrant) use case of violence, but that got used as the lever to eliminate all forms of violence, even the useful ones.
Next on Jubilee…

I think you aren’t making the distinction that ES noted I’m making, between transtrending troon assholes such as Lily Tino, and the people we used to call “transsexual”.
If a bunch of dudes beat up Hunter Schafer or Angelica Ross, they are going to look like assholes, and end up in jail.

18 year olds drinking beer? People will die.
Damn straight. Need to get them drinking mead. It’s way more civilized.
Wait, what? I thought it was supposed to be a barbarian beverage!
Wine. And not shit like Moscato or white zin.
Nectar of the gods
UCS:
There’s a theory (that confirms enough of my biases that I lean towards believing it) that the purpose of settling down and the beginnings of civilization were about being able to have steady access to alcohol.
You just say that because Beer is the degenerate drink of the civilized peoples.
Airag! Beer is for the people whose skulls make the pyramid
UCS:
Beer came long after wine and mead were on the scene. Growing your own fruit was easier than scavenging enough to both feed yourself and ferment.
That does not change a thing about my statement.
In order to brew beer you need a surplus supply of grain, which is something you really only get in civilizations.
Therefore beer is a drink of civilizated folk, who are by definition degenerates.
you do not need a surplus of grain if you just let your children starve
I think beer can be dated back pretty reliably at least 4,000 years – one of the high Mesopotamian goddesses was in charge of brewing. Not sure how far back wine and mead can be dated.
Not sure how far back wine and mead can be dated. – well people in Clan of the Cave bear would make alcohol from fruit. And the men were all 6’6″ handsome and muscular and all the women were slim, fit, but with huge boobs that did no sag one bit. So the wine was good.
R C Dean:
Wine would have been found much earlier, store grape juice, it turns into wine. The concept of grape juice as a distinct beverage didn’t exist until Welch’s started pasteurizing it. Quick searches show wine as far back as 6000 BC, mead I’ve seen claims as far back as 7000 BC.
Anything with sugar in it will ferment eventually. Whether spoilage organisms are working in parallel or not is separate issue.
Berries will ferment on the tree. And birds can get shitfaced from eating the berries.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP-1TE52IX4
And there are plenty of videos of mammals picking up fermented fruits off the ground and getting drunk.
Grain is starch. Grain can’t ferment until the starch is converted to sugar. So, grain requires intervention to produce alcohol.
Beer people, wine people, and mead people all claim to have the oldest beverage.
As Neph points out. The oldest intentional fermentations go back to 7000 BC or so.
I have not looked into when saki was first created.
Honey is stable and will not ferment. It needs to be diluted down before it can ferment. Honey can be stored for decades.
However, honey will absorb moisture from the air if it is not sealed up. So, you can get a foamy layer on top of the honey that is fermented. So, spontaneous fermentation is possible.
Can confirm – I have three jars of Minnesotan honey in my house. One has partially sponteneously fermented at the top. One has crystalized because I stored it too cold. One is still sealed and liquid.
You can return crystalized honey to liquid by heating it up. Put the mason jar in an warm water bath (100ish degrees) and it will liquify.
Or you can nuke it in the microwave. I do this all the time with honey that I have stored in the basement.
kinnath:
Pretty sure sake falls around the same timeline as beer, as it’s also a multi stage process (as I’m guessing you’re aware). If I remember from my brief foray into researching it, that the difference in process is using a fungus to break down the starch in the rice into a sugar instead of using enzymatic activity from malting.
Going on the process, I’d guess the actual order of discovery is wine, mead, [time passes], sake, beer, distillation.
Mr Ilium – Sake, as distinct from generic Rice Wine, is no older than 500 BC. All things Japanese are more modern than one might expect.
Generic Rice wine is fairly old though, being on par with beer
https://www.dogfish.com/blog/ancient-ales
Since 1999, Dogfish Head has worked closely with molecular archeologist Dr. Patrick McGovern, one of the world¹s leading experts in ancient beverages.
The second beer to come about from this partnership is our Chateau Jiahu. Jiahu¹s ingredient list was unearthed from a 9000 year old tomb in China. The Jiahu discovery represents the oldest known fermented beverage evidence in the history of civilization! That means that drinks made from fermented grain (beer) have a longer history than beverages made from fermented grapes (wine). Chateau Jiahu is made with hawthorn fruit, sake rice, barley, and honey.
I have a couple of Dr. McGovern’s books. I met him at a beekeeping/honey festival in St Louis.
Intentional fermentation goes back 9000 years. The trace elements in jar fragments show grain, fruits, and honey. But there is no way to know if any give recipe includes all three or whether they just reused jars for different kinds of products.
In my opinion, humans have been making booze on purpose for at least 9000 years and they would ferment whatever they could get their hands on.
I don’t see anyway to know which of beer, wine, or mead was first.
“A Florida legal group is demanding that the winner of the Miss North Florida 2025 pageant have her title restored after she refused to sign a contract with the Miss America Organization that states “female” includes biological males who have undergone sex change surgeries.
Liberty Counsel had sent a letter demanding that Bush’s title be restored in April. The organization noted that the contract initially given to Bush incentivizes “child abuse in violation of Florida law,” due to many Miss and Miss Teen contestants being minors.
“The specified Contract provision incentivizes the castration of minor boys. Thus, Kayleigh could not sign the Contract, and Miss Florida, Inc.’s demand that Kayleigh sign with this provision violates not only Kayleigh’s beliefs, but also Florida law and public policy,” the letter stated.”

Another wheel falls off the omnibus
A plan to sell more than 3,200 square miles of federal lands has been ruled out of Republicans’ big tax and spending cut bill after the Senate parliamentarian determined the proposal by Senate Energy Chairman Mike Lee would violate the chamber’s rules.
Lee, a Utah Republican, has proposed selling millions of acres (8.300 square kilometers) of public lands in the West to states or other entities for use as housing or infrastructure. The plan would revive a longtime ambition of Western conservatives to cede lands to local control after a similar proposal failed in the House earlier this year.
Lee’s plan has revealed sharp disagreement among Republicans who support wholesale transfers of federal property to spur development and generate revenue, and other lawmakers — including GOP senators in Montana and Idaho — who are staunchly opposed.

The Monkees and Beach Boys have been coming up on Pandora for me lately. So many good songs.
Carole King stated in her autobiography that after she and her husband and songwriting partner Gerry Goffin had earned enough money from songwriting royalties, they moved from New York City to West Orange, New Jersey, where one of the major thoroughfares in town is called Pleasant Valley Way. Goffin disliked their suburban life and wrote lyrics to document the feeling that became “Pleasant Valley Sunday.”
I didn’t realize this was the origin of this song until about 20 years ago. It’s a road I’ve driven many times.

Mikayla Raines, founder of “Save a Fox Rescue” just took her own life.
2 months ago she was seen on r/SaveAfoxSnark attempting to defend herself from her detractors.
Here’s how the subreddit’s creator responded when she showed up:
It’s time to address “Snark” subreddits.
Back in April of 2024, reddit user u/Pale-Explanation-709 created r/SaveAfoxSnark after rumors of a bobcat biting a volunteer surfaced.
u/Pale-Explanation-709 would go on, posting unsubstantiated speculation about the “mysterious disappearance” of Dakota the Coyote or discussing “various injuries and deaths” at the rescue.
At one point, u/Pale-Explanation-709 used ChatGPT to write a laundry list of “ethical issues” surrounding the rescue, most of which don’t appear to apply directly to SaveAFox.
Other users began posting to the subreddit as well.
A video of Mikayla shooing a fox away with her foot was posted as evidence of her “Kicking a fox”
The subreddit accused Mikayla “selling Ruby’s fur” because Mikayla was selling Ruby’s shed in little jars.
This is just the tip of the iceberg
The “Snark” phenomenon exploded in popularity on Reddit in Spring of 2022 (seemingly during the Josh Duggar’s sentencing)
“Snarkers” as snark subreddit users call themselves, are gossip-addicted women obsessed with ‘taking down’ influencers.
And this isn’t the first time one of these “Snark” subreddits has had real-life consequences.
In July of last year, r/FundieSnarkUncensored (a subreddit for targeting Christians) doxxed the Lott family during a beach trip, sending false claims of child abuse to the police.
In 2023, r/MadiaSnark relentlessly targeted Brianna Madia who ultimately hired a digital investigator to identify 200 “snarkers” who she claimed “turned her life into a living hell.”

People want to stand out. People group up to tear down anyone who stands out. Always have, always will. Social media amplifies both the urge to stand out, and the urge to tear down, and makes both faster and easier. It’s awful, but somehow we are going to have to figure out a way to deal with this from now on. Kids growing up today are in a different and not wonderful social milieu.
Hey, Jar – I need a ruling:
Since you’re 50% and you get “(((” if I’m like 5-6% can I get like just one “(“?
Or do I have to settle for some kind of quasi-goy thing, like an em-dash or one set bracket “{” ?
Just curious. Maybe OMWC can come in here and give us a definitive answer?
Ozy – I’m 25% and that equates to 1.5 (. I’m going to find that triggering as it will overstate your percentage compared to mine.
Isn’t grabbing what we want, without worrying about what anyone else thinks, supposed to be a defining characteristic? Take the brackets you desire!
At 5-6%, I think you get an apostrophe.

Womp womp.
I’ll just take my sad apostrophe ‘ and buy the T-shirt that Neph linked.

I’m actually a mod on r/CCW.

Lee, in a post on X Monday night, said he would keep trying.
“Housing prices are crushing families and keeping young Americans from living where they grew up. We need to change that,’’ he wrote
——-
Environmental advocates celebrated the ruling late Monday by Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough but cautioned that Lee’s proposal was far from dead.
“This is a victory for the American public, who were loud and clear: Public lands belong in public hands, for current and future generations alike,’’ said Tracy Stone-Manning, president of The Wilderness Society. “Our public lands are not for sale.”
It’s disingenuous bullshit, all the way down.
As with public schools, we need to get people to stop referring to these lands as “public” lands, and start referring to them as “government” lands. See how that changes the conversation.
Much of the BLM land in western Oregon was supposed to be in private ownership (and was in quasi private ownership until Congress seized the lands).
There’s also former military reservation land that was never returned to private ownership after decommissioning.
Another game federal government lands play is they wanted to developan area they’d been protecting as a “natural space” and not allowing any use or entry. So they did. And then took a park, fully open to the public, some distance away and unconnected, closed all of the off path area and their new “natural area”. Bullshit.
It’s not the Feds, but around here the state and the regional park district coerce the ranchers to sell their land to be used as parks, but somehow the land never is opened as use for a park.
No, that’s what the government is for. To take money from some and give to others, duh.
Men want one thing

a shitty old Toyota truck? neah.
With a .50 in the bed maybe.
My former brother-in-law used to have one of those when he was dating my sister. We used to ride in the truck bed. Good times.
That is not a shitty truck. That is an awesome truck.

Enough of this dancing around.
They’re not the ones dancing, they’re the organ-grinders. Bongino with his claims about secret Comey files, Bondi with Epstein’s, etc., etc. If you’re tired of dancing then stop expecting them to deliver.
It’s exactly the same phenomenon as that hinted at romance on a TV show, the one that never actually materializes, because as long as it stays hinted, drama obsessed fans keep watching. But once you show it, it becomes concrete and it guarantees that some portion of the audience will be disappointed or angry. Politics is show business.
Man, this is so trenchant it hurts.

Really? He should have expected it. That is the country we live in now.
No more rule of law
The Supreme Court dealt a severe blow to the American rule of law on Monday night by clearing the way for the Trump administration to deport migrants and other noncitizens to random countries where they have no ties or connections, effectively rewarding the White House for its defiance of court orders to the contrary.
Federal judges in the lower courts had previously blocked the administration from carrying out such removals by citing the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause. The plaintiffs and the courts cited evidence that the government had provided little to no notice to noncitizens facing such removal and had ignored federal law that gives them an opportunity to challenge it. To make matters worse, the administration continued to carry out the removals even after a court order barred them from doing so.
Without any explanation, however, the high court sided with the Trump administration and stayed the lower court orders until further notice, in a 6–3 decision. The conservative majority’s intervention will allow the administration to carry out further removals to countries like Libya and South Sudan, despite the ongoing legal challenges—and despite the White House’s own misconduct.
Go ahead and crown him, why don’t you?
I mean they can voluntary leave to preferred countries I guess
Ok, just drop them off 12nm out in international waters. No third country needed.
12 nanometers is awfully hard to find when the waves and tides keep moving the shore line.
Don’t you be speakin’ metric around here, boy…
Nautical miles, you landlubber.
Nautical miles is NM, not nm.
New Mexico is landlocked, nothing nautical there.
The immediate assumption of metric is a sign of a failing education model.
The metric system is a welfare program for people who can’t do basic arithmetic without counting on their fingers…
Well, I am a victim of the government schools.
But I applied the rule of funny.
And other than sneaking into the US, what were their ties to it? They are claiming asylum, we’re assisting them to a safe haven. You’re welcome.
I saw that one District Judge immediately issued an order(?) reinstating his ban on these deportations, notwithstanding what SCOTUS said. I believe he claimed that the issue was not properly before SCOTUS, essentially saying he was free to disregard the SCOTUS ruling.
The thing about judicial tyranny is, it’s really hard to have hundreds of dictators without them stepping on each other’s dicks.
I’m still not clear how SCOTUS ruling on a case is a severe blow to the rule of law.
Something completely untalked about (by judges and Leftists – and even MAGAts) in all of the immigration huff and puff is an essential factoid that fucks this whole thing up – I feel quite confident the Left knows this and is why it is suppressed:
Countries refuse to take the shitbirds back. Now what do we do?
This happened with a LOT of 9/11 detainees from Afghanistan. Bunch of zipperheads came to the country for jihad and then surrendered or got captured by US Mil. Okay – so now we try to give them back. They say they’re Uighurs from Afghanistan. The Afghan government says, “NUH-UH!! They’re Chinese!” China says, “Are you effing kidding me – they’re Muslim!! They ain’t ours.” Serve is back to you, Steve! WTF do we do now?
With illegal immigrants here in the US, it’s the same thing, except times a few million. And how hard can it be to pinpoint who these people belong to?? Pssshhhhhhh. Even when they tell the truth, their “home” countries have no system of records, no way of knowing who the fuck this person even is, blah blah blah.
All of which is to say – as much as I hate admitting it as a guy who sues the government for a living – this issue really is a delicate political mess for a Chief Executive and finding third party countries that will agree to take at least some of this human overflow is no small thing. The courts should absolutely be minimally involved in this beyond some ability of an AMERICAN CITIZEN to show that they shouldn’t be deported. But if you can’t show you’re a legal citizen or here lawfully? Fuck right off and get on the bus, Bro.
Designate a couple of Aleutian Islands as Free States and dump them there. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of a society you end up with in a places settled exclusively by people so annoying no one will take them.
I would rather drop them someplace further away.
Do we still have any uninhabited guano islands further from real states?
“zipperheads”
I thought that was a slur for Vietnamese?
Another reason countries don’t want them back is because they prefer the remittances instead.
Federal law lays out the hierarchy of countries to which someone can be deported from the United States. It starts with the country from which they originally arrived. Then, if that country is not feasible, the list goes through nearest alternatives like their birth country, where they hold citizenship, and so on.
What happens if none of those places are feasible? Only then can the government conduct what is known as a third-country removal, where they effectively send the noncitizen to a country where they have no relevant ties or connections. This is an extraordinary step, and federal law only allows it after exhausting every other option.
I think we can assume the cartoon villain is ignoring all of that and just arbitrarily shipping people to random hostile countries en masse.
Well, for most, their birth country and country of citizenship are the same. Depending on how your apply the country they arrived from, that’s probably also the same, or else their last stop before getting here. So those options can actually be exhausted in either one or two goes. They make it sound as if this is an incredibly difficult process, etc. It’s not. It’s more like two phone calls, or maybe two letters, and when the answer comes back “No”, off he goes to a third-country.
Let’s remember that today is the 149th anniversary of the world’s best light cavalry (Northern Cheyenne and Sioux) defeating military forces of the United States attempting eminent domain in southeastern Montana. Sic semper tyrannis!
They died with their authoritarian on doesn’t quite have the same ring.

Some Crook came along and reinstituted the policy shortly thereafter.
“The government thus openly flouted two court orders, including the one from which it now seeks relief. Even if the orders in question had been mistaken, the government had a duty to obey them until they were ‘reversed by orderly and proper proceedings,’” Sotomayor explained, quoting from precedent. “That principle is a bedrock of the rule of law. The government’s misconduct threatens it to its core.”
The executive is subordinate to the judiciary. Got it.
I believe Hamilton wrote in a Federalist Paper that the courts couldn’t be tyrannical since they had no power to enforce their decisions.
Immigration courts are under the Executive branch.
They are more administrative hearings than actual courts, and unlike criminal court, the only right is habeas corpus, which is Latin for “You assholes got the wrong spic.”

People calling for decolonization need to be rounded up and reeducated on the disaster that all decolonizations have been.
Can we deport them to Uganda?
We should decolonize the left. If we take all the white lefties out and shoot them in the name of diversity things will get markedly better.
Remember when listening to the left: words dont have meanings, meanings have words. This means translating commie inito English can be a bit tricky.
White = anything associated with the culture that ascribes to inalienable rights and individualism
decolonize = adopt marxist ideology
CNBC and Bloomberg are wall to wall Trump at the NATO conference. I asked ChatGPT to help me out.
NATTO
The very idea of natto… 🤮
Natto is disgusting, who would even consider fermenting beans to make them pungent and flavorful, everyone know you should only do that with milk!
You start with soybeans, which are not food, then make them even worse, and somehow try to call the resulting pile of festering slop ‘food’.
It’s interesting to discuss with my Japanese friends. Most like natto, but ask them about how they feel about strong cheeses like blue cheese and you get a different answer.
What you eat growing up as well the ability or inability to digest dairy.
Blue cheese isn’t edible. They let too much mold in and ruined the cheese.
You confuse me. You appear to have an infinite capacity to get off your butt and try out new hobbies that I envy, but in some areas you have elevated being set in your ways to orthodox religious levels. 🙂
Question:
Does anybody have an opinion on naproxen? I have never tried it. I did a little quickie look yesterday and saw it’s in Midol, which of course immediately made me think of the old Bill Cosby routine.
(Looking for something to alleviate joint pain)
It’s an NSAID. It’s going to have the same pluses and minuses as ibuprofen with the advantage that it is longer acting.
I don’t recall if I’ve ever tried it myself, but from reports from usually reliable sources, you may want to beware of…digestive effects.
It’s the most effective OTC NSAID.
I can’t take it because it fucks up my ears.
I have some sitting on my desk. I don’t take it very often, preferring 4 Motrin over the 1 Aleve because military medicine made me this way, but I’ve not had any problems.
Longer-lasting and a little stronger than others. I don’t recall any digestive issues, but I wouldn’t try it on an empty stomach.
ranger candy cures all
Probably an outlier, but I found it entirely useless for pain relief. Might as well have been a sugar pill.
I’m ‘forbidden’ NSAIDS, but given a choice, I’m all in on 2 Tylenol & 2 ibuprofen.
you may want to beware of…digestive effects.
Great.
🤷♀️ Your results may vary.
Much lower than aspirin, however. Not lower GI issues, but heartburn.
I was going to crack a joke about it turning the user into a rocket.
Murmuring sweet nothings into the analysts’ ears
Bumble shares rallied more than 26% on Wednesday after the dating app company revealed in a securities filing that it intends to slash 30% of its workforce, or about 240 roles.
The layoffs will result in $13 million to $18 million in charges for the company hitting in the third and fourth quarters of this year. Management estimates that the reductions will help the company save $40 million annually.
——-
“Our focus now is on moving forward in a way that strengthens our core business, continues to serve our members effectively, and positions us for future growth,” they wrote.
Bumble said the cuts are part of a reconfiguration of its “operating structure to optimize execution on its strategic priorities.” The company plans to invest savings into new product and technology development.
So sexxxy.
I wouldn’t try it on an empty stomach.
That’s probably the single best bit of advice for any of that stuff.

Another victory for the rule of law
A federal judge on Tuesday issued a ruling blocking the Trump administration from withholding funds for electric vehicle charger infrastructure from 14 states.
U.S. District Judge Tana Lin said the government overstepped their Constitutional authority by refusing to disperse dollars attached to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by former President Biden.
The initiative was created to help rid EV drivers of range anxiety, which is defined as the unease experienced by electric vehicle (“EV”) drivers when they are unsure where the next charging station might be and whether their car’s battery has sufficient charge to get them there.
First thing we do, let’s kill all the judges.
As I recall all of the EV charger subsidies were stolen.

In retrospect Cuomo shouldn’t have killed all those people.
Perfect. More or less what I said to a coworker this AM.
When you are reduced to a situation in which Cuomo is the good choice you’re already done.
I can’t catch up. I got as far as “…there was a concerted effort at de-masculinization of this country starting in the late-70s and -80s.” and realized the thread was dead already.
I can say this Ozzy, you weren’t around down here then. The air was so thick with testosterone it was hard to breath. Some dude in a woman’s room back then would have faced a serious threat of being beaten to death. As a result we didnt have a lot of that. Actually we had none at all.
