Birthdays today include a guy who was a little fish; a guy whose stories were amazing; a guy who liked to put on a dress and prance around the world’s largest beach; a piece of shit of almost Wilsonian caliber; a guy who would be the best possible Middle East head of state were he still alive; a guy for whom you should do nothing until you hear from him; a poetic SugarFree; the best pianist you don’t know but ought to; half of my parents’ favorite duo; a pianist you DO know and ought to; half of the most famous tennis team; recipient of the second most famous hit in NFL history; the only valid Catwoman; and a model of corruption that has been widely emulated, but rarely equaled.
And Links are also rarely equaled.

Does this mean we’re going to have a lot more Belgians in the future?
“Well, we know they won’t riot or protest.”
A protection racket worthy of The Sopranos.
And exactly nothing will happen.
OK, so he’ll only win 4 out of 5 boroughs.
Wait, you mean the crime statistics are bogus? Where is my fainting couch?
The shocking thing is that Jerry Brown is still alive. The guy ran against Jimmy Fucking Carter, for shit’s sake.
Local news: “…and everybody gets an automatic A.”
Indulge me a bit of nostalgia. This show probably got more kids in trouble than all the rest put together. And in retrospect, it was a bit hallucinogenic in execution. “I’m sure you’re all seen your dad or your brother smoking a pipe.” Recognize the voice behind Winky?
And just so you can understand why one of today’s birthday boys is one of my very favorite singers, here you go. The Old Guy brings you a double blind study.
I don’t know Bill Evans.
Evans
Bob’s brother, keeps kind of a low profile to avoid all the sausage jokes.
Yeah, he is always “down on the farm”. Annoyingly so.
Say it three times.

Happy birthday Abe Vigoda!
Happy birthday Will Smith’s wife.
Don Knotts?

So many choices. Happy birthday Barack Obama? George W. Bush?
“More than 75 percent of the stockpile was earmarked for five countries in Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Mali and Congo, according to a report from the International Planned Parenthood Federation. ”
So PP is going to Africa to kill black people?
Since when did fucking without contraception lead to death instead of life? [HIV obviously excepted]
Well to be fair, Africa is such a shit hole of a continent that the rate of mortality during child birth is closer to what it was 400 years ago in the western world.
Well, if you have a child, that child will at some point die. So you’ve brought more death into the world!

Grand juries in Virginia and Maryland are currently weighing criminal indictments for James and Schiff respectively over allegations they falsified property records to secure favorable loan terms.
Assuming the grand juries return a true bill (normally almost automatic, but a big “if” here), the trials being held in D.C. bedroom communities pretty much guarantees an acquittal.
Not if Trump fires all the bureaucrats and brings in more crypto bro DOGE guys before jury selection!
They would probably return a guilty verdict for Trump instead.
recipient of the second most famous hit in NFL history
The dirty hit on Chad Clifton should be better remembered.
I’m guessing Joe Thiesmann rates #1, or Tatum on Stingley?
Theismann. Stingley had a worse outcome but Theismann’s is better remembered and still replayed regularly.
And fwiw, I’d put Bernard Pollard versus Stevan Ridley as the most satisfying to watch.
I’d go with Jack Tatum on Frenchy Fuqua.
It didn’t lead to a gruesome injury, but it’s been replayed every year for a half century.
An admittedly bias selection but watching Turkey Jones spiking Terry Bradshaw always bring a smile to my face.
I assumed that the infamous Mike Curtis versus Drunk Fan On The Field didn’t count.
This predates Moj’s Chiefs fandom, but it merits consideration just because of the rule change that followed. I also remember the brawl when I think it was Davidson picked up Dawson, flipped him heels up and dropped him on his head.
Didn’t he bang Linda Ronstadt?
Or was he blue bayou’d?
and a model of corruption that has been widely emulated, but rarely equaled
Happy birthday Carlo Ponzi!
Happy birthday J. Edgar Hoover?
Happy birthday Halle Berry?
I’m assuming the “valid” means whoever portrayed Catwoman as you hit puberty.
Tbh, I’ve never actually sat through an entire Batman or Catwoman flick in my life, I just wanted to be a shithead.
You could at least have gone with Pfeiffer.
Would.
Happy birthday Heshen?
“Pennsylvania State Police said Jared Lampus, 50, of Buffalo Township was arrested Friday.”

Does this mean we’re going to have a lot more Belgians in the future?
Only if it’s Tuesday.
According to the article, we will get more Kenyans, Tanzanians, Zambians, Malians and Congoians.

“DC police commander placed on leave over ‘deliberately’ falsifying crime data”
https://thepostmillennial.com/dc-police-commander-placed-on-leave-over-deliberately-falsifying-crime-data
That’s how I remember hearing it. Scandalous, of course but what I find even more disgusting is the left pretending that the crime to which they do admit is perfectly acceptable. “Nothing to see here.” Of course, when the narrative is about gUnZ they turn on a dime and say the opposite.
DC police commander suspended, accused of changing crime statistics
From the misty dark days of this July.
In a 2-to-1 ruling, a federal appeals court said a lower court could not block the Trump administration’s plans to reduce the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s staff by nearly 90 percent.
A federal appeals court paved the way for the Trump administration to move ahead with plans to decimate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, ruling 2 to 1 to throw out a lower court’s effort to block mass layoffs.
Another journalismist who doesn’t know the meaning of “decimate.”
Meh, meaning of words change, and decimate lost that battle long ago.
It’s not like a J school graduate would know the difference between 90% and 10% even if the meaning remained fixed.

“New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell was hit with an 18-count federal indictment Friday accusing her of orchestrating a scheme with her bodyguard-turned-lover to defraud the city of more than $70,000.
Cantrell, 53, and Jeffrey Vappie, a member of her Executive Protection Unit (EPU), are charged with multiple crimes — including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to obstruct justice, wire fraud, obstruction of justice and making false statements….

No, it’s creole.
Creole good!
Investigators uncovered at least 14 out-of-state trips Cantrell took with Vappie to “maximize their opportunities to engage in personal activities” costing the City of New Orleans thousands in travel, meal, lodging, salary and incidental expenses Vappie charged to taxpayers – costs separate from the mayor’s own travel expenses.

Intel’s Move Toward Nationalization Won’t Work—at Least for the Long Haul
Hey, it worked for the auto manufacturers…
Nationalizing Intel would kill what was amazing about intel. They were the last US based company able to stay at the bleeding edge of manufacturing.
If they want to ensure they stay around in the US they should incentivize operations and guarantee minimal taxation and regulation for any new factories.
Intel needs to be dramatically altered or reorganized to address the challenges they face. They are not the best at predicting future product trends beyond CPUs. They should have decoupled manufacturing and process development from design a long time ago. They missed the mobile, automotive, and AI product growth of the past 10 years. Having an independent processing foundry would have kept them competitive with new applications and trends while giving thier design teams valuable capabilities to compete.

I Used to Know How to Write in Japanese
So the author mostly attributes this to his aphantasia. Meanwhile noting native speakers have the same problem. Also it’s completely common for non native speakers to have the same problem. I made the conscious choice not to be able to handwrite Japanese given my usage and limited lifespan.
Still an interesting article on the hell learners go through.
“In the wake of President Donald Trump announcing singer Gloria Gaynor as one of the recipients of a Kennedy Center Honor award in 2025, The View co-host Ana Navarro has urged the disco icon not to accept the honors.
Navarro wrote on Instagram, “A few years ago, I briefly met Gloria Gaynor at a concert in Miami. She gifted me a keychain that belted out ‘I Will Survive’, when you pressed it. Let’s just say, during the first Trump term, I pressed it till it ran out of batteries. Yesterday, Trump announced he picked her to receive a Kennedy Center Honor, which he plans to host.”
“Look, the woman is a goddess and deserves all the flowers that come her way. But I wish she wouldn’t accept an award from the hands of a man who has attacked the rights and history of women, people of color, and LGBTQ. The gay community in particular, helped turn her signature song into an anthem. Trump is a stain on the prestige and significance of the KCH. Don’t do it, Gloria!”
https://thepostmillennial.com/ana-navarro-urges-gloria-gaynor-to-boycott-kennedy-center-honors-hosted-by-trump
I’m sure she’ll survive.
Trump’s a racist and he-man woman hater. That’s why a black, female Kennedy Center Honors recipient is morally obligated to turn down the award.
I still don’t understand claiming he is anti-gay.
Or claiming he’s anti-woman, considering all the women he’s put in positions of power and authority as president, and even earlier within the Trump organization.

South Korea criticises Japanese officials’ visit to Tokyo war shrine
In the Glib archives I believe straff posted a visit there.
Japan and Germany followed very different paths in dealing with their guilt. I used to get annoyed at Japan for whining about Hiroshima and Nagasaki while pretending that Nanking, Korea, Unit 731 etc. never happened, but I think the German wallowing in guilt and indulging in self castration is worse.
It doesn’t get the play it should, but Christian forgiveness versus Buddhist ideals of respect for ancestors.
The Buddhist ideals work against all parties involved for ever truly resolving this.
Meh, it is resolved. It was resolved with great finality 80 years ago last week. I see nothing wrong with Koreans having a bit of a grudge, or Japanese celebrating the courage of their ancestors. The sniping at each other in the press is a bit unseemly to my mind.
The Japanese eventually accomplished the Greater Asia Co-prosperity sphere – peaceably, in the 80s. It just didn’t last much longer than their wartime attempt.
No way I expected the Chinese press to come to this conclusion.

My inability to keep my mouth shut probably outweighs my ability to pass.

People who have it seem to have an easier path, but I shouldn’t complain. I have been very fortunate in finding my way through life despite my difficulties fitting the mold.
Spectacular. Ultra lefty Gothamist has 1,500 words on the travesty that the state can no longer immediately send in a SWAT team with no recourse for keeping a pet squirrel. How does that state cock taste?
The Peanut effect: How one dead squirrel upended New York wildlife enforcement
The real tragedy is that the poor jackbooted thugs were subjected to insults and opprobrium, and why? All they did was protect wild animals from the abuse of a loving home by seizing them and killing them.
Every time I try to rein in my tendency to indulge in anger and hatred, which I sincerely believe are unhealthy, something like this comes along and I am back to square one.
I still think they used the “Peanut” kerfuffle largely to draw traffic to their Only Fans site(s?).
No heroes in that story IMHO.
The SWATees are no heroes. Currently suing for $10m. The site existed before and Peanut was part of the appeal.
My issue is the SWAT. They are guilty of the dumb offenses. We can argue about the offenses, but that’s a different problem.

“As head of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with over $12.5 trillion in assets under management, Fink already wields enormous influence over governments, corporations, and media outlets through BlackRock’s controlling stakes in thousands of companies—including Big Pharma, Big Tech, and every major media conglomerate.”
Yikes!
Now do Fidelity. Now do Vanguard.
I detest Fink for a number of reasons, but his asset management business and his fiduciary voting requirements of that business isn’t on the list.
My problem with all three was going hard and heavy for ESG. If I recall correctly, Vanguard was the first to back out. Blackstone only appeared to back pedal recently.
Chafed – correct. They wanted to formulate an ESG checklist so they could all have standardized fiduciary tickbox.
And BlackRock took a big part in that and something Fink can fuck right off about. But that’s his solution to fiduciary issue in asset management. But they are actually a competent asset manager. Buying large stakes in companies is what they do.
People who see themselves as aristocrats long for a restoration of the institution of serfdom. I wonder whether they will succeed?

Controversy
Papers with U.S. State Department markings, found Friday morning in the business center of an Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed and potentially sensitive details about the Aug. 15 meetings between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin in Anchorage.
Eight pages, that appear to have been produced by U.S. staff and left behind accidentally, shared precise locations and meeting times of the summit and phone numbers of U.S. government employees.
At around 9 a.m. on Friday, three guests at Hotel Captain Cook, a four-star hotel located 20 minutes from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage where leaders from the U.S. and Russia convened, found the documents left behind in one of the hotel’s public printers. NPR reviewed photos of the documents taken by one of the guests, who NPR agreed not to identify because the guest said they feared retaliation.
The White House and the U.S. Department of State did not respond to requests for comment about the documents.
Photos of the documents taken by one of the guests.
I wonder who that guest works for.
Far more interesting would be a list of insults, in Russian, that Trump could deploy at Putin when the need arose. “Shorty deliberately walk in woods to meet STEVE SMITH, ask for ceasefire. And by ceasefire, mean….”
Anyone think these are authentic documents? Left there by people who support Trump politically?
Not for a second.
Jon Michaels, a professor of law at UCLA who lectures about national security, said that the documents found in the printer of the Alaskan hotel reveal a lapse in professional judgement in preparation for a high-stakes meeting.
“It strikes me as further evidence of the sloppiness and the incompetence of the administration,” said Michaels. “You just don’t leave things in printers. It’s that simple.”
Hillary’s people never would have done that!

That dude needs to read some Glib’s Stoic Fridays. Do not engage with people like that. His mistake was responding to her in any way.
He was damn smart to record as quick as he did – that bitch is beyond batshit crazy.

Thank god for greyhounds…
I have the feeling she lost her mind a long time ago.
Even the dog passing through looks at her and thinks “Holy shit this bitch is crazy. I’m getting out of here.”

The Bee always hits it out of the park.
My family decided to go vegetarian (after a story about inhumane slaugherhouse conditions on NPR, no less) but luckily I already had my license, so I could go buy my own meat to avoid a nutritional deficiency.
They would eat some fake meat product and ask me why I’m still eating real meat when THIS tastes exactly like it (“exactly like it” = “a slurry of expired mushrooms and cardboard mashed into a patty shape”)
I have nothing against someone’s choice to become vegetarian, but as a cooking enthusiast, I’m offended by “fake meat” when there are so many other excellent vegetarian dishes that are just made vegetables, legumes, eggs, etc. Indian cuisine is a treasure trove of them, and practically every other cuisine has at least a few that are pretty good.
I’m right there with you. There’s a local vegan cocktail place that I’ve avoided entirely because of their menu featuring items such as Pork Rinds (fried rice paper), pulled Brisket (jackfruit or seitan), etc.
Look, when it comes to cocktails, going vegan really cuts out honey (for most), egg whites (easily replaced by aquafaba), and a handful of other items. But why the hell are you trying to sell something you’re calling brisket when it’s anything but?
Blame Trump
Health officials are working to alert hundreds of people in dozens of states and several countries who may have been exposed to rabies in bat-infested cabins in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park over the past few months.
As of Friday, none of the bats found in some of the eight linked cabins at Jackson Lake Lodge had tested positive for rabies.
But the handful of dead bats found and sent to the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory in Laramie for testing were probably only a small sample of the likely dozens that colonized the attic above the row of cabins, Wyoming State Health Officer Dr. Alexia Harrist said.
People will die.
So, people who did not get bit by bats that did not have rabies, are at risk of rabies because some other bats, that they also did not get bit by, and which we are only hypothesizing exist at all, might have rabies?
It must be exhausting living a life that full of random terror. It’s definitely exhausting listening to it.
That one is real. Treat bats like you treat guns. All bats have rabies like all guns are always loaded.
Those Wyoming wetmarkets SMDH
In this case…yeah, they might. It is common for bats to have rabies and the stake are high. If you have contact with a bat in any way, get the shots.
“…almost always fatal.” ? As in 100%?
Dying of rabies is the most horrible thing you can imagine. It is worse than anything you have seen in a horror movie.
If tested positiive and was showing symptoms I would immediately kill myself.
Get the shots.
Simply being around bats does not pose any risk of rabies. It takes a bite, or the equivalent of a bite in terms of direct contact between an open wound or mucous membrane with fresh bodily fluids or brain tissue of an infected animal. If you get bit get the shots. If a bat is in your attic, well welcome to the club, that is something that almost certainly has happened to everyone you know at some point, whether they realized it or not.
Electricity prices are climbing more than twice as fast as inflation
Obviously because OMB cancelled renewables. Certainly not the green lobby litigating any conventional generation construction to replace closing plants.
But NPR is so fair and unbiased.
The new inflation calculations do not count energy or food prices, because…
There are no plans to exterminate the bats, Grand Teton National Park spokesperson Emily Davis said. Devices fitted to the building were keeping the bats from getting back in after flying out in pursuit of insects to eat, they said.
AI facial recognition technology.
Back in my youth, on the farm, bats were not uncommon in my bedroom in the summer. I had a tennis racket under my bed. Occasionally I’d wake up, hear the bat flying around. Turn on the light, get my racket. Usually it was several misses before I drove a forehand that blasted the bat, whomp, into the chimney. I can’t remember my record but somehow 4 sticks in my memory as a single night’s total.
Then back to sleep.
I had the same thing. Except I ignored them. They don’t bite people, and eat mosquitos that do bite.

More stunning insights
Apassive-aggressive form of management is making headlines: quiet firing, the practice where bosses make working conditions so unpleasant for an unwanted employee that the person leaves on their own accord.
It’s not a new maneuver, but it does seem to be growing in popularity. In a 2025 HRTech survey of over 1,000 U.S. managers, 53% admit to using quiet firing tactics. And a 2022 LinkedIn survey found that nearly half of 20,000 respondents had experienced it in the workplace.
The sinister part of this technique is that it plays on people’s fears and doubts without getting concrete feedback. Employees are left to wonder if they are imagining slights, if they are being too sensitive, which puts layers of stress on an already stressful situation.
“[T]he hope is that you will eventually quit,” Jason Walker, Psy.D., Ph.D., the program director and an associate professor of Industrial-Organizational and Applied Psychology at Adler University, told USA Today.
Be nicer to that person who makes life miserable for everybody else. Promote him. Cater to his special needs.
No shit?
Why would you try to get your problem child to quit on her own, instead of going through some minefield HR firing process?
In a shitty company. Better companies realize that poisons good employees.
The current trend is to give a choice of a package instead of a PIP. Really it’s cheaper to just pay them to leave and healthier for the employee and the coworkers.
I found a problem child a job with another company, closer to his home so it would reduce his commute.
“Last month, the Department of Justice’s response to the Jeffrey Epstein saga culminated in an incredibly bizarre move: The Federal Bureau of Prisons transferred a convicted sex offender to a minimum security prison. The special treatment given by the Trump administration to Ghislaine Maxwell is a travesty of justice. It also suggests only one conclusion: A rotten deal between Trump’s DOJ and Epstein’s accomplice to keep quiet in exchange for preferential treatment…..
Maxwell reportedly told Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern. Assuming that this is all Maxwell said, it is a very limited statement. It does not extend to a myriad of things Maxwell might have known about what Trump did but that were not done in her presence. This statement certainly does not rule out the possibility that Maxwell may have some leverage over Trump. The DOJ is certainly acting as though she does.”

Speaking of The Grid, I saw an article (don’t remember where) extolling the superior virtues of the Chinese approach to… everything. Infrastructure, industrial policy, the whole shebang. They will bury us.
I’ve seen Lefty rags for years idolizing how China “just gets things done”. I’ve tried to tell people that the cons always outweigh the pros when a government is structured in such a way that it can do whatever it wants on a dime, but they come back with “but China has clean and efficient high speed rail!!”
Things China also “just gets done”: Ethnic concentration camps! Yay!
Making trains run on time is worth a few death camps right?
I’ve found that confronting lefties with their love of trains puts them in the same class of people as rabid sports fans (who want the public to fund the new stadium) has a very quieting effect.
Plagued by shoddy construction and messy accidents also yay!
You act like the progressives don’t want the camps here…
A former buddy of mine (ghosted on the friendship seven years ago) is a massive government ‘infrastructure advocate.’ Loves trains, wants total govt healthcare, public trans.
