Sorry, I actually have been working on a new Jewsday piece that I think is interesting and unexpected, but it’s not done yet. Writing, for me, is a slow and painful process. And this week is pretty much shot, Spud is coming in tonight, and several other friends will be coming in over the weekend, which has Prime somewhat apprehensive. “Don’t worry, once you get past the glass eye that he likes to pop in and out for effect, Nephilium is a fairly normal guy. But I have to warn you about SugarFree…”
A few birthdays, though, cannot pass without mention. First, the guy who taught Obama how to pose; the favorite poet of both mine and Warty’s; the costar of SP and my favorite movie series; Mojeaux’s favorite authority; the Friendly Angel; the ur-electric guitarist; a woman who became a meme; and a guy who is rock’s Wayne Newton.
And speaking of Wayne Newton, since they’ll all get mixed together in my stomach, here’s the afternoon’s carefully curated yet random-appearing Links.
“This is the shitty brand of garbanzos! I may be starving, but not THAT starving!”
“We don’t want to reward Hamas, but here’s a big reward for Hamas.”
Common sense. Lawsuits at the ready.
You mean these laws are stupid and useless? Huh.

If it’s a legitimate state, you should recognize it regardless. If it’s not a legitimate state, then you shouldn’t recognize it regardless. But thanks for confirming that your concern for the nomadic goatfucker cause is strictly a matter of your Jew hatred.
Europe pretended to not be anti-Semitic for a few decades after the Holocaust, but now enough time has passed to revert back to their norm.
I have a feeling the next round is gonna be a lot more, uh, “interesting” given recent migration patterns.
If Palestine is a state then they can supply their own water, electricity and food right? Also, a legit state is required to stick to a code of conduct towards its neighbors.
I have noted that the ‘Palestinians’ have repeatedly told us they have no interest in being a state, behaving like a state or in any kind of civil behavior. Their sole purpose for existing, in their minds, is to murder all Jews everywhere on earth. Suppose they accomplish that, would they be satisfied and behave ? No, the list will just get longer and longer until they have slaughtered the earth’s population.
Stop talking to them and shoot them.
As you point out, and I have said it before, recognizing Palestine as a state means that it now has the borders it is currently sharing with three countries: Egypt, Jordan, and, wait for it, Israel.
Well, does anyone really care what the UK thinks, any more?
Man, what is it with Hawleys and tariffs?
It’s like peanut butter & chocolate.

They like sticking their Smoots into our economy.

2.8MM, not 28, I hate headlines in articles like that where the rules on urls affects the meaning.
They could set their CMS to replace full stops with underscores or dashes for clarity, but 90% of people access content through an app or on their mobile device and never even see the URL.

I am not seeing it…did you send to first initial middle initial last name @ gmail?
Yep, last Wednesday (7/23) evening. From a y*h** account so maybe spam?

Great price and bold timing.

Not quite my cup of tea, but it is spiffy looking.
I AM NOT STOCKING ANOTHER CALIBER.
Sorry – no meant as a reply.
I’ll be looking for a suppressed short rifle when the taxes go away. Either 9mm or .300Bk.
I like my neighbor’s .300. Very quiet with a suppressor.
Suppressed
I think that is the only reason to own anything in .300Bk.
@Sean. I said the same thing until I bought a Jericho 9mm. Israeli LE surplus. Now I have a 9mm sub gun as well, and an appropriate amount of ammo.
If you are looking at a suppressed sub gun, get a .45 ACP, seeing as most rounds in that caliber are subsonic.
Got one in .45 as well. pew-CLANG!!!
Six month dry-spell, writing-wise, for me.
I’ve only been able to write Glibs articles.

I want fiction progress too.
Having federal coppers sitting in the offices of social media companies telling them which posts to delete or throttle was no cause for concern regarding the future of free expression online, but 12 year olds being able to access porn unfettered is a bridge too far.
Also, welcome to the fucking party, retards. This was the inevitable result that privacy advocates were shouting from the rooftops warning you about 20 goddamn years ago when you did away with any form of pseudonymity online so that your bloodsucking corporate overlords could properly target ads, and your bloodsucking government overlords could properly target turrurists.
The cypherpunks were right.
At my last job we wrote software for school management, and even 10 years ago kids were using VPN’s to get around the school’s internet filters.
Lust finds a way.
We managed to get our hands on porn back when I was a kid and it came on paper or Super 8 film. I’m not going to pretend I think porn is good for adolescents, but I suspect it doesn’t do a fraction of the harm social media does.
All in moderation.
Some is better than none for development, but there is a point where it’s too much.
As I perused your link to the Jerusalem Post, this was at the bottom of the page:

I am looking at The Twink of the North and thinking that is unlikely. I am trying to figure out their angle here. What are they really up to?
Probably just plotting to crush the proletariat.
I got a great phrase for such people from a friend the other day: Neiman Marxists.
That’s just a silly conspiracy theory!
Oh, wow. Nice.
Is this the first time you’ve heard “Neiman Marxist”? You guys need to get out of the bubble more.

Deadly Tarantula swarm! I’ll take some, pictures if I see any.
Get out your Super 8 and make the next GlibFlick.
Good, maybe they’ll come through and eat all these goddamn fire ants that keep arriving at the perimeter of my property from the vacant lot next door…
I’m 9x 15lb bags of mound killer granules and 3 bottles of lawn insect spray deep this season, for a total cost around $200.
You just need a flamethrower.
True. For several reasons.
Free shipping…
If you can manage to set up a sacrificial electrical junction box at the border of your property, that should just continuously wipe them out. Just reset it periodically as large groups of them electrocute themselves. They are irresistibly drawn to 60 Hz electricity.
You need to MacGyver a moat and use flame throwers to repel crossings.
Try this one. It kills the hell out of them and they dont seem to get immune to it like the others. I used to rotate one to another about every 3 years but this one is on year 6 and seems as effective as it was day 1.
Sprinkle over mound….kills the whole mound in 15 mins and the mound does not come back.

That’s actually awesome, I may look into it.
So they feel compelled to explain the word “pheromones” , but “urticating” is common usage.
I live in one of the areas mentioned, but I’ve never seen a swarm. I do see one or two crossing the road in the fall occasionally when I’m out riding.
I kinda recall a tarantula swarm in the ’70s where it was so bad that they caused driving hazard in the San Gabriel mountains.
Slick spots on the curvy mountain roads.
That used too happen by my dad’s place, when he still lived on Cali. It was gnarly, to say the least.
Not sure how you have tarantula swarms in CO and NM, but not AZ.
All told, though, if we get passed over, I think I’ll be good with that.
I didn’t even know we got those here (or scorpions) but my neighbor took a picture of a tarantula in her yard
I saw you and RJ talking on the dedthread. Definitely meet up with him.
Yes! We have lots. I am on the phone and can’t grab my email. Go back a thread and contact me.
I moved south of Fort Worth recently, which might work better for you.
👍 Cool I sent an email
William Briggs, statistician, invented a game. Go to Google Scholar, search X “climate change”, where x can be any odd thing you can think of.
I typed ‘ tarantulas “climate change” ‘ and this was the first of several scholarly articles to show up:
“From past to a precarious future: climate change threatens protected Mexican tarantulas”

If you cover up Katy Perry’s tits, she has a really big forehead.
She was already aging like milk before pregnancy and feminism got to her.
Playa Manhattan met her once. His reaction: without all the stage makeup and seen up close, she’s a 5 at best.
You could light a firework on that thing. But that’s typical for California girls.
Thank you, all. My kids get another year of free meals at school.
I didn’t think the tarantulas were out your way.
Ugh. All the great religions are parables and if you blow away a little smoke you will find they all say the same thing. Getting caught up in the details is….a bit foolish but I suppose serves a purpose.
I’m reading a WP editorial that almost seems rational.
Why conservatives should be rooting for NPR and PBS
Dominic Pino is the economics editor and Thomas L. Rhodes fellow at National Review and host of the American Institute for Economic Research podcast “Econception.”
Ahh, guest.
For really large examples of 1%.
Because our graft is important!
State media and free nations are incompatible. There isn’t anything to talk about beyond that.
So NPR was lying? Well, I never.
It’s 1% of the total pledged amount, unfortunately it’s also 90% of the actually paid amount.
This week in foreseeable consequences aren’t unintended.
They always write about restaurant jobs. I’d guess other types of jobs were killed as well. Perhaps journalists and generators of studies think restaurants are the only employers affected by wages.

Having books everywhere in the living room is called decorating.
It’s time for some recorating.

Real world solutions
The Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream to Housing Act of 2025, sponsored by Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and ranking member Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), includes proposals that aim to expand and preserve the housing supply, improve housing affordability and access, advance accountability and fiscal responsibility, and improve oversight and program integrity.
The legislation directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to create a new grant and loan program for qualifying homeowners and small landlords to address home repairs and health hazards, develop best practice frameworks for zoning and land-use policies and create a pilot program to incentivize housing development of all kinds in Community Development Block Grant participating jurisdictions, among other actions.
Our problems are as good as solved.
If it’s bipartisan it’s ways good!
Oh fuck me.
TOS has an article about it that seems positive. That may not be a point in the bill’s favor though.
Members on both sides of the aisle acknowledged issues with HUD, but said it was important to get something done to improve what many view as a growing housing crisis. The bill received support from a broad range of groups representing the real estate industry, home builders, mortgage bankers, affordable housing organizations and local governments.
You know it will be good.
I feel a sudden stabbing pain in my asshole.
Kinky.
After they complete the studies and implement the new programs and rules they will double the housing supply and halve prices! Oh wait I have that backwards, double the prices and halve the supply.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
The Trump administration just announced workplace rules that stand to make it easier for federal employees to pressure their colleagues to convert to their religion of choice.
——-
…the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s recent memo, dated July 28, which lays out the administration’s stance on religious expression in the federal workplace — and includes an eyebrow-raising line about religious disputes:
During a break, an employee may engage another in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should re-think his religious beliefs. However, if the non-adherent requests such attempts to stop, the employee should honor the request.
This is completely different from DEI indoctrination and political consciousness raising on the job. Those are just reasonable pragmatic secular truths, not crazy religious nonsense and therefor protected. Heads we win, tails you lose.
“Just eat the bacon, you weirdo.”
We need special workplace rules to protect an unalienable right to free speech? Seems legit.
It’s easy to see people taking liberties with this guidance and potentially running roughshod over employees who may feel fearful of pushing back against the proselytizing.
Preposterous nonsense. That has never happened.
I’m back from the office.
UCS, on FreedomFest being in Palm Springs – Before the Rona Panic, FreedomFest was always in Las Vegas. During the Rona Panic, FreedomFest 2020 was cancelled due to ever increasing restrictions being places on the event. FreedomFest 2021 was in Rapid City, SD. Since then, the FreedomFest organizers have decided to alternate Las Vegas with some other place.
For the “some other place”, the FreedomFest folks want/need certain “stuff”. A suitably sized convention space, hotels nearby, and tourist “stuff” that would interest attendees. A few of us in NH tried to convince the FreedomFest folks to come to NH this year for their “some other place” year. NH does not have any convention space big enough to meet their needs.
The FreedomFest organizers also poll attendees for possible locations. I remember last year’s post-conference survey included possible places for FreedomFest 2025. San Diego was on the list, so they were looking at California.
Palm Springs has a decent sized convention center. There are four good hotels within a short distance of the convention center. One of those hotels is connected to the convention center. Palm Springs being a resort town has stuff to do. Some of the FreedomFest organizers have spent time in Palm Springs and so are familiar with it.
RJ on the the Scott Horton / Wang Dan debate – I was really unimpressed with Horton. I think he was more interested in pushing his agenda than actually debating Wang Dan.
The Other Kevin – You’re welcome!
Sean – yes, we are halfway there with government run schooling. “Motherland” was a really dark movie.
Sensei – from the article you linked: If the world’s largest economy can run supposedly discredited economic policies and still thrive, the policy orthodoxies of most of the past half century will have been shattered too. : Huh… central planning will work this time?
If we just find the right top men.
I’m not advocating for that article, it just points how dismal science is in not accurately reflecting current trends.
I suspect his first explanation, it’s too early to tell, is right. Or to put it another way, I don’t think we have enough time to show a trend. Kinda like the surplus from the June monthly US treasury data. That’s nowhere near enough to extrapolate a trend.
Akira – on Vegas – I liked Vegas but only in small doses. It’s a strange place. There are nice places and nice things in the area. Like others said, it does help to do a little research first.
Toxteth – Yes. I drove first to the Bay Area, then down 101 to LA, then through Palm Springs back East.
Bipartisan support. Oh boy
Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s choice for commissioner of education received strong bipartisan support at a hearing Tuesday.
Nominee Caitlin Davis is vowing to keep the focus on schools and away from politics if confirmed to lead the department where she has worked for the past 14 years.
“It’s not the Department of Education’s responsibility to advocate,” she said.
Lawmakers from both parties endorsed Davis, citing her deep policy knowledge and ability to work with the diverse perspectives in the Legislature.
Vegas was cooler when you could stop at the Circus Circus for steak and eggs and a beer (for about three bucks) at 5:15 AM as you were passing through from Colorado to L A.
