The NFL is back! The NFL is back! But it won’t be as fun as college Saturdays, IMO. Sinner cruised into the semis. And will probably cruise into the finals. The other semifinal is what I can’t wait for tomorrow. The Astros managed to come back and win, after almost blowing it (again). Thank God Seattle chose the same time to play like shit. And I guess that’s it for sports.
Oh, for the love of God. These dumb bastards never give up.

Unnecessary noise on both beer and football!
Sensei:
Careful… or I’ll do a Friday afternoon links post with nothing but Kelce stories. 🙂
On the other hand, I remember Garage beer being launched before the Kelces were involved. IIRC, it was originally a recipe done by another Ohio brewery as a way to reach the light lager drinkers. The overall brewery didn’t make it, but they were able to spin off Garage beer. Or I may be conflating it with a couple of the other regional light lagers. Most of the regional/state wide breweries have released a take on a beer flavored beer as well.
Eugyppius debunked the idea of it being a conspiracy, but people still want to believe it.
Did he factually debunk it, or did he just deny it based on various opinions? Because a lot of people confuse “debunk” and “deny” these days.
WTF:
Pointing out that there are over 3,000 candidates, and 4 (maybe 5) of the 6 (now 7) deaths were very likely natural causes.
Neph – Thanks, that makes sense.

Because a majority of people in one place can be retarded.
Sloopy, some of those same villages in Alaska don’t allow their LEOs to be armed. They aren’t entirely retarded, they understand that their community can’t handle alcohol well.
Had a client in Okinawa. Great Marine, a grunt – A BIG INJUN. And I mean, even with the high and tight, you looked at this dude and thought, “Oh, fuck. Can you imagine this mofo charging you on horseback with a hatchet in his hand?!?” But he had an even BIGGER problem with the fire water – get past a certain number of drinks and My Man had a bad habit of busting up bars and people in sufficient dollar amounts to land him in the brig and Level III alcohol rehab. One of the nicest, most respectful, kindest (and biggest) clients I ever had – but add alcohol and that dude broke out in felonies.
He knew it – and felt bad about it when he came to from the blackout – but there was nowhere to hide from it. Cost him a career.
I could easily see a small village of people – ahem of a certain demographic – with enough self-realization to treat booze like the Chinese govt does opium. It’s not an insane policy for a tribal – or even a national govt – to adopt. Our ancestors were not stupid, and although Prohibition looks like a disaster to us now from the Libertarian Arc of History, just imagine how bad men drank back then that it drove their women to that level of political activism…?
Ozymandius:
It’s quite surprising how much more people were drinking back in the day.
just imagine how bad men drank back then that it drove their women to that level of political activism…?
Don’t forget that Prohibition fit so nicely with the Progressive ambition to improve people and that was the peak era for proggies.
By my math, thats just under 6 ounces per day. Of course, by the time you back out people who weren’t drinking, the average per drinker goes up. So, yeah, that’s a lot of booze.
I did the math. 7 gallons of ethanol is less 1.5L (two fifths) of 80 proof per week. Unless I need more coffee.
R C Dean:
They’re also including children in that calculation. Of course, the children were also drinking.
It’s a lot, but if you spend 12 hours a day chopping down trees or plowing a field with a mule, it’s maybe not so bad.
Of course given that the water wasn’t clean in some places, a splash of alcohol was needed even in drinking water.
Yes, probably still drinking a bit much back then.
How would someone know how much actual ethanol was consumed in 1830, considering that distillation/brewing is currently an imperfect art and would have been much more haphazard back then. Proof is now legislated and regulated.
The 7 gallon number is, at best, a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess).
Yeah, but the thing about averages is that you have to drink that average EVERY. SINGLE. DAY and that’s about impossible.
It’s like when I do those pushup or squat or rowing challenges of X reps/m per day to get to 1M meters in a year (or some equivalent).
You miss a couple of days or don’t get your necessary average? Welp, now you’re behind and it is FUCKING HARD to catch up, stay up, or importantly for success – actually get ahead of the average – so you have some days off.
And since these guys were drinking without regard to any goal, that means they were consuming vast amounts more than the average, and then having a day or two off, then consuming 2-3x more than average, then a day or two off, etc.
Just food for thought.
I had a friend like that in 29 Palms, not a grunt, but a fellow cannon-cocker 0811.
When he was sober you couldn’t find a nicer dude.
He started drinking and there was no telling where he would end up.
He ended up getting kicked out, bums me out remembering, he had so much potential.

Doesn’t sending the piggie to the market mean they got butchered and sold as bacon, ham, and chop?

“ Startup behind $700-a-month bed ‘pods’ wants to put 10,000 more in San Francisco”
I can smell it from here.
It’s big in Japan – https://youtu.be/tl6u2NASUzU
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_hotel
Culturally it works as folks are conditioned to be as quiet and respectful as possible in public places like this. Here it is going to be a disaster.
Also, there’s a difference in a hotel and a residence. I could probably live like that for a few days while I travel lightly for business or pleasure. It would be impossible to live like that for more than a handful of days.
Well, that’s because being quiet is white supremacy.
That article on silence as white privilege is awesomely stupid.
About the San Fran article: those shelters have curtains, not actual doors so you could expect to be robbed blind and assaulted all hours. To Sensei’s point, this ain’t Japan.
https://x.com/Slatzism/status/1802091507177910695
There better be a beefy-looking bouncer at the entrance.
But yeah, this is never going to fly in a far-left jurisdiction whose goal is to make shelter as expensive as possible and where people who can’t afford that are expected to turn to the government for a handout.
That was a direct hit, if there ever was one.
Not just “poverty” – that is the sound of a city run by Democrats.
Sloopy:
See my long description of my experience staying at a capsule hotel in Tokyo below.
For the most part, I agree with you that this is a short stay solution only. Most of the residents were drunk salarymen who missed the last train out of Tokyo and had to sleep it off.
I stayed there for several months, but I had to find some work arounds to make things bearable. For example, I got all my laundry done at a nearby full service hotel. I bribed the concierge to let me keep my work clothes there. Each day, I’d stop buy to drop off dirty clothes and pick up tomorrow’s duds.
I also had to work with a minimal toilet kit (comb, razor, fangbrush).
If this is like a Japanese capsule hotel, you immediately go into a locker room where you change from your street clothes into a robe and slippers. All your personal stuff stays in the locker until you leave.
The common bath area and the common lounges can be a bit noisy as the drunks settle down, but once you go up to the floors where the pods are, it is very quiet.
I stayed in one somewhere in Japan. It was nice for travel when you only need to crash.
I like being tiny. (5’7″, ~135) So snug! The cultural demands of Asian cultures absolutely is what makes them work.
“A Florida man was arrested after a meetup with a woman he met on a dating app turned violent when he allegedly ran over her after she refused to allow him to smell her feet, police say….
The woman, who spoke to Local 10 News but asked not to be identified, said she had agreed to meet Sercle to sell him a pair of used shoes, but quickly became uncomfortable when the conversation shifted….
The woman told police that she told Sercle it would cost him $1,000 because she’s a foot model and that’s her going rate, according to the affidavit. ”

I hope so. It does seem that reality is crashing the party. But man… people really don’t like when you challenge their religion. They will not give up without a fight.

Why can’t Team Dumbass capitalize on this shit? All they have to do is advertise that their opponent favors banning meat, gas stoves, and dogs, and that while you care about the environment, your opponent is nuts. Do it while standing on a nature trail or in a kayak with your dog.
Fucking make them eat this shit sandwich and choke on it.
Oh, that’s right. Team Dumbass.
Team Dumbass — if we win the election we have to actually govern.
Is it? It seems like everyone I know is fully on board with it. They’re not spouting off the crazier ideas like banning dogs and children and air travel and stuff, but I definitely see lots of hand-wringing when the topic comes up and a general consensus that climate change is Real and A Major Problem, along with mockery of skeptics as science-hating morons.

Once again, Prof Briggs on the AfD deaths.
Couldn’t make it through the article with Briggs’ obnoxious jargon and willful ignorance of the number of candidates.
Just skimmed the eugyppius piece. I would add my assumption that newbies campaigning for political office probably add some stress to their lives. If they already have health problems, that’s not going to help.
I particularly love his Bayseian calculations where he keeps readjusting probabilities because the results aren’t what he likes.
It seemed to me he had no clue how many AfD candidates are running. As best I could tell he was conflating the number of municipalities with the number of AfD candidates.
Which 6 should make a difference. They aren’t blades of grass on a golf course (of course given that players are trying to hit the ball to certain locations not all blades of grass have equal chances of being hit, but since he’s never played, watched or been to a golf course who cares).
If three GOP candidates turned up dead in fall of 2028 and they are Vance, Rubio, and Hesgeth, that’s a bit different than a couple of 80 year olds, that morbidly obese freshman congressman from East Bumfuck, and the dude that was killed by the drunk driver on Labor Day weekend prior to the election.

If I see an article about a school bus driver who has a heart attack and drives his bus off a bridge, killing 30 little kids, I’ll think “someone’s going to get sued,” and turn the page.

It does happen. It’s not nearly as common as the hanged man pissing and shitting himself, but I doubt we’ll be seeing that in Wuthering Heights…

“Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison announced Tuesday that she has filed a civil lawsuit in King County Superior Court against gun manufacturer Glock, Inc., its Austrian parent company Glock GES.m.b.H., and three local retailers authorized to sell Glock firearms.
The complaint names Pantel Tactical, Bull’s Eye Indoor Range, LLC, and Rainier Arms, LLC, alleging that the companies knowingly sell handguns that can be illegally modified into fully automatic weapons with the addition of a device known as a “Glock switch.”
…
In 2023, Davison filed a lawsuit in federal court against Kia and Hyundai, two of the most stolen car brands in the United States. Davison argued that their failure to install anti-theft technology in certain models contributed to an “exponential increase” in auto thefts across Seattle. This followed rising car thefts that were fueled in part by state-imposed restrictions on police, including limits on vehicle pursuits.”

I was on a recent flight with a college volleyball team. It was absurd to think that they were flying around to play a sport that no one really cares about. We should put a stop to that, for the climate of course.

Experts say the best way to combat the human tendency to miscalculate climate-related decisions is with more readily available information. Zhao said that people are already more accurate in their estimations than they would have been 10 or 20 years ago because it’s easier to learn.
The study backs up that hypothesis. After participants finished ranking actions, the researchers corrected their mistakes, and they changed which actions they said they’d take to help the planet.
“People do learn from these interventions,” Vlasceanu said. “After learning, they are more willing to commit to actually more impactful actions.”
People are stupid, and given the opportunity they will always choose wrongly. That is why we must eliminate all choices we disapprove of.
What I learn from these interventions is hatred, and I am still sufficiently a product of my upbringing to find that uncomfortable.

“A disabled former Walmart employee has filed a lawsuit against the retail giant in federal court, alleging he was wrongfully terminated from his position after reporting that he was being sexually harassed by a transgender coworker in the men’s restroom. That coworker is a female who identifies as a man….
After Allen reported the sexual harassment complaint, he alleged in the suit that Charlotte, as well as another transgender female employee, Michelle, who goes by the name “Mike,” and a third colleague began harassing him during work hours. Allegations include invading his personal space by using motorized shopping carts to drive by the aisles he was working at. Allen said he did not engage with his colleagues and reported the harassment incidents to the store, but no action was taken.
In December 2023, Allen claimed that Charlotte stared at his groin as he was using the urinal in the men’s restroom for a second time. He reported the incident to management. However, the two transgender employees, Charlotte and Michelle, “filed a false harassment” complaint against Allen, which resulted in his termination.”

I doubt a FTM was using the urinal.
Which is a double-foul for any man.
There are at least a few FTMs who love dick. Like love it like a gay dude loves it, which might be why they transed. Their phallophilia was too intense to be properly ladylike, but just fine for a bathhouse regular.
Walmart is like the local McDonald’s where I’m at. They hire and create the freaks.
Giorgio Armani, Fashion Titan Who Balanced Softness With Power, Dies at 91

Just hit the tape. The WSJ was ready to go with its canned obit.
‘California State University professor Jonathan Caravello has been indicted by a federal grand jury for throwing a tear gas canister at federal agents during an immigration enforcement operation at a marijuana farm earlier this year. The violence broke out at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California, one of the largest weed farms in the state.
US Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill Essayli, made the announcement on Wednesday in an X post, saying, Caravello, 37, of Ventura “faces up to 20 years in prison” if convicted on charges. The action was caught on camera and shared on social media.”

He looks like an asshole.
I assume his defense will be that he was intoxicated on pot and hence not responsible for his actions, but I don’t think it will work.
After all — all those in Glass Houses shouldn’t throw stoned.
Is that the one where the MJ farm was employing [illegal] [im]migrant youth?
Yes
This morning before we got out of bed Mrs. TOK told me about someone’s neighbor dying. He was 93, and his caretaker was trying to help him put his pajamas on, and he leaned back on the bed and died almost instantly. I told her that was ALMOST perfect. Living to be 93, dying very suddenly and painlessly, but you want it to happen while a woman is pulling your pants off, not putting them on.
That earned me a slap.
I disagree, better to die as she helps you get dressed AFTER she has taken care of you
Talk about “don’t you die on me yet”.
Talk about a “Come to Jesus” moment…
Finally! Naturally it took like 2.5 weeks for somebody to actually put something on paper and some drone to actually affix a signature to something.

“Activist groups that are indifferent or openly hostile to pro-life pregnancy centers are supporting their cause against a crusading Democratic attorney general at the Supreme Court, warning in friend-of-the-court briefs that civil rights beyond religious conservatives are at stake.
The ACLU, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Animal Activist Legal Defense Project and NetChoice joined conservative, religious freedom and pro-life groups, the Justice Department and more than 30 Republican members of Congress, in support of New Jersey’s First Choice Women’s Resource Centers against New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin….
First Amendment issues often create odd ideological bedfellows, with the liberal ACLU and Council on American-Islamic Relations supporting Christian evangelists against campus censorship. The evangelists got an $800,000 settlement after their SCOTUS victory.”

“It is not difficult to imagine 12 D.C. jurors concluding that throwing a sandwich at a federal officer — while clearly objectionable and potentially unlawful — does not amount to felony assault,” Salgado said. “At its core, the federal grand jury functions as a vital constitutional safeguard and a critical check on prosecutorial discretion, as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment.”
I think they’re right about this actually. Even the threat to ‘kill Trump’, I dunno man. Sounds like juvenile bluster to me.

Ok, so which one of you reprobates is Jessica Chastain?
Re: sinking a drug boat, my BIL accidentally did that once.
He was in his frigate (reflagged as USCG) and he gave the command for warning shots. The tracers ignited the external fuel tanks being dumped and kerblooie. I don’t know if he got a medal for that or what. He didn’t get kicked out or demoted AFAIK.
NA’s BiL caught on camera…
Man those Coastie commanders don’t mess around with discipline!
I assume even if your boat is officially USCG that the personnel are still sailors. Or would that mean they served in both branches? (This was back before the armed forces reshuffle) Would they be eligible for two pensions if he was assigned to that duty long enough?
Rhetorical excess
Call it The Chicken Little Defense: If the courts do not sign off on the administration’s tariffs, it “would be a total disaster for the Country” and “would literally destroy the United States of America,” Trump said on Friday after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the bulk of the president’s tariffs are illegal. He doubled down on those claims on Tuesday while tacking on the transparently ridiculous assertion that the U.S. is “taking in $17 trillion … because of tariffs.”
In the petition to the Supreme Court filed on Wednesday night, the administration continued in this vein, saying that “the tariffs are promoting peace and unprecedented economic prosperity” and “pulling America back from the precipice of disaster, restoring its respect and standing in the world.”
He’s an authoritarian monster who wants to trample the Constitution and turn the country into a vast open air prison. Don’t listen to him.

https://www.derekthompson.org/p/the-us-population-could-shrink-in
It’s not like the people we’re losing are thoracic surgeons. We’re losing low/no skill illiterate peasants who simultaneously suckle the welfare teat, drive up housing costs, drive inflation and erode American culture. The only people who seem to give a shit about shrinking human population are Biblical literalists and shitlib econ douches fretting about their pyramid scheme social programs collapsing.
Do we have enough native peasants to do my domestic chores inexpensively?
What are your orphans doing?
The government put my unaccompanied minors in cages.
Economists generally ignore “quality” of population as you note.
1. If you don’t keep increasing workers the Ponzi scheme of various social programs will come crashing down.
2. Caring for your elderly population.
Japan has avoided point #1 and I’m not sure how markets continue to let it borrow the way it does. Point #2 is an increasing concern and problem. Hence all the robot interest there.
Japan has avoided number 1, but in the process has seen GDP actually decline for more than a generation now. Failure to reproduce is bad news, and the ‘replacement’ schemes run into the quality/cultural distortion issues mentioned. As a childless lifelong bachelor I am part of the problem in this. Hopefully it self corrects.
I always assume econ douches beyond the social ponzi schemes… just the ones that assume all businesses can grow in perpetuity — and need to grow the consumer base for those perpetual profit growth numbers.
I’m not a huge fan of depop (and really not a fan of being way behind 3rd world countries that expressly want to kill us and all…) — but I really don’t care if we go steady state or have a minor dip. If humanity can bounce back with only 10000 folks… the human race will likely survive (because only those with the tendency to breed will be left in the end). Civilization… well, that may take one hell of a hit, granted. 10000 years from now, they’ll be talking about the Lost City of Atlanta…
No! Ancient Atlanta was more than just a Delta hub! It was a vibrant metropolis, the equal of Paris or New York!
The people of ancient Atlanta were the last surviving offshoot of ancient Britain’s druidic religion. They had evolved the focus from the mighty, masculine Oak to the fecund, feminine Peach Tree, and their fait was so devout that they named all the throughfares of the religious capital after the arboreal divinity!
There a rumors that being a Delta Hub caused the Lost Atlantans to turn to dark religious rituals.
Travelers had to pass through a Field of Hearts, after all.
But the druidic religion shown through — most of the money lenders worked in a section of the city warded by the Buck’s Head.
Some heretic money lenders thought Ancient Atlanta was just a Mid Town all the same.
What will the archeologists make of it after Underground Atlanta goes the way of Plummet Mall?
Lol, I mean there are concerns with population decline. However, his charts showing how insane the growth was in 2022-2024 are hilarious.
It’s the low income low intelligence people that are breeding.
Go way! ‘batin!

Crown Royal dethroned in Canada as whisky company shifts some operations to US
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/04/crown-royal-doug-ford-ontario
American made Canadian whiskey?
Most Canadian whisk(e)y can’t be made anywhere else. There’s a reason it’s not well regarded in the cocktail world.
Because it is sugar water pretending to be whiskey
So how would this product be labeled? “Crown Royal…”
Not Adahn:
Looks like they’re just moving the bottling, not the production and aging.
[emphasis added]
Huh. And that lets them dodge tariffs? I would not have expected that. Unless this has fuckall to do with tariffs and was something that’s been in the works for years.
I guarantee it was already in the works. Canada taxes and regulates the Hell out of everything. It probably saved a ton of money even before tariffs came into play.
Politicians don’t like it? Fuck you, cut taxes!
Crisis
In rare interviews with NBC News, a dozen federal judges — appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents, including Trump, and serving around the country — pointed to a pattern they say has recently emerged:
Lower court judges are handed contentious cases involving the Trump administration. They painstakingly research the law to reach their rulings. When they go against Trump, administration officials and allies criticize the judges in harsh terms. The government appeals to the Supreme Court, with its 6-3 conservative majority.
And then the Supreme Court, in emergency rulings, swiftly rejects the judges’ decisions with little to no explanation.
Waaaaah! Not fair!
My only reaction.
We forum shopped fair and square. How dare SCOTUS overrule us.
On the serious side. SCOTUS is ruling on motions not merits. It is common for rulings to be unsigned and short.
😂🤣
The put a lot of effort twisting the law to work back from their desired outcome.
They painstakingly research the law to reach their rulings.
Well there’s an assertion without evidence. Unless he means to find a rationalization to back into their pre-determined conclusion.
“They painstakingly research the law to reach their rulings. ”
Honest injun’.
As a childless lifelong bachelor I am part of the problem in this.

When judges issue rulings the Trump administration does not like, they are frequently targeted by influential figures in MAGA world and sometimes Trump himself, who called for a judge who ruled against him in a high-profile immigration case to be impeached. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has said the administration is the victim of a “judicial coup.”
The judge who said the Supreme Court justices are behaving inexcusably has received threats of violence and is now fearful when someone knocks on the door at home.
If major efforts are not made to address the situation, the judge said, “somebody is going to die.”
Right wing terror is destroying civil society.

“ Recycling is an almost daily action, ”

Unless it’s metal or clean fibre, throw it out. Plastic and glass should be thrown in the garbage. They cost more to transport and clean than to make new.
I personally don’t like dogs. That’s beside the point. Their intent is not to save the environment it is to make you as miserable as they are. Dogs bring some people joy. That joy must be stomped out.
Fast cars bring joy.
Airplanes and travel bring joy.
Boats bring joy.
Green grass which requires fertilizer made from natural gas, brings joy…
Fatty red meat creates the right hormonal balance to form regular erections, which bring joy.
These monsters are anti human.
And on top of all that, nothing they promote actually accomplishes anything beyond impoverishing us.
It is a religion. If you don’t believe, just tell them to shut the fuck up and leave us alone.
In defense of the pod hotel….
In ’98 I worked for 5 months or so in Tokyo. Mrs. Holiness and the Altar Girl and Boy lived with her family in Kobe and I commuted on the weekends via the shinkansen (bullet train).
My company was happy to put me up in the New Otani hotel, but even though it was a very fancy hotel it sucked. The problem was that once you were done with work and had supper, you would just sit alone in your hotel. Lonely and boring. I was not financially wealthy enough at that time to be able to drink in bars (especially the New Otani’s bar).
One week, I couldn’t get a room at the regular hotels, so I ended up at a local capsule hotel (aka pod). IT WAS GREAT! You don’t just get a capsule to sleep in. After you check in there is a floor where you can take a shower and then sit in a sauna or one of several hot whirlpools. There was also another floor where they have vending machines that sell snacks and beer (no whiskey or panties). That floor also had small lounges where you could sit in a chair and watch sports. Then I could argue with the other drunk salarymen there about the game. Helped a lot with my conversational Japanese.
After you were ready to go to sleep, you’d go up to one of the floors with the capsules. If you have any sorts of claustrophobia, the capsules aren’t a great place to sleep. But each of them had a tiny TV in it. I never watched TV there and I never had a problem with neighbors being noisy.
The only catch I ever saw with the capsule hotel was that you couldn’t go in if you had a tattoo of any sort. On my last trip, that taboo seems to have mostly gone away.
I ended up always going to the capsule hotel for the rest of my working days there. My coworkers thought I was nuts because most of the other people were drunk guys who missed the last train out of Dodge and had to stay somewhere.
I went from spending $300-$400/night at the New Otani to $50/night at the capsule hotel. What reward did I get from my employers? A full audit of of all my early expense reports, that’s what. They figured I must have been cheating them early on. So I had to produce all my physical receipts and send them in. I also sent them the email where they told me to stay at the New Otani. Uffda that was a dumb company.
I think that this is the hotel that I stayed at in Akasaka If it isn’t the exact one it definitely has the same setup.
The New Otani in Tokyo. It doesn’t look that expensive now that the dollar is so strong against the yen.
I recommend it if you are traveling with someone. They had a fantastic complimentary breakfast every morning. When Mrs. Holiness visited Tokyo with me, we stayed there and had a blast.
Rice, miso and natto?
But is has the “Detective Conan” Sandwich and Dessert Buffet!!!!

Sensei:
Yeah, it was a crazy place with silly stuff like that. Gorgeous property though.
My company was too incompetent to get work visas for everyone working in Asia, so when your tourist visa window was expiring you would just go to another country for a certain amount of time. So we’d get guys from the Australia and Taiwan offices showing up. We’d always hit up the steak joint in the New Otani and it would be like $500 for a meal there.
The other story I tell about that time was that one of the guys from Australia figured out that no one who ever reviewed his time sheets could read the kanji/hiragana receipts. So he’d just expense in all his trips to the strip clubs. He tried to talk me into going with him, but I told him that while the company might not be able to read the receipts, Mrs. Holiness could read mine.
Yeah, I can see staying at a higher end “capsule” that was in the middle of an area you wanted to hang out in.
You really don’t want to hang out in your room if you are by yourself in Japan. It’s not like you are watching TV.
Sounds way better than the sleeping cars on Amtrak. And you know just where you are when you awake.
Amtrak sleeping cars are like a time capsule. Everything in there is analog (thermometer, clock, etc). No wireless connection available.
The Supreme Court has an obligation to explain rulings in a way the public can understand, a third judge said, adding that when the court so frequently rules for the administration in emergency cases without fully telling people why, it sends a signal. The court has had strong left-leaning majorities in the past, but what is different now is the role emergency cases are playing in public discourse.
The Supreme Court, that judge said, is effectively endorsing Miller’s claims that the judiciary is trying to subvert the presidency.
“It’s almost like the Supreme Court is saying it is a ‘judicial coup,’” the judge said.
The Supreme Court is shirking its duty to engage in responsible partisan obstructionism. That’s sad.

Unprecedented
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani called reporting Wednesday that the White House is considering administration jobs for Mayor Eric Adams and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa an “affront to our democracy.”
The New York Times reported Wednesday that advisers to President Donald Trump have discussed giving incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, a position in the administration to clear the field and set up a head-to-head race between Mamdani and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani and is now running as an independent. The talks have also involved Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, the Times reported.
——-
This is, however, about an affront to our democracy, an affront to what makes so many of us proud to be Americans, that we choose our own leaders, not that they get to pick themselves, not that they get to be picked by the president of the United States, the same president who detained a 6-year-old girl from a New York City public school system and took her hundreds of miles away, the same president that cut SNAP benefits from the hungry across these five boroughs … the same president who will throw millions of New Yorkers off their health insurance, is now seeking to undermine the very fabric of this city.”
Never before has a President made his preference known, nor has he offered assistance to that preferred candidate.
Impeach now.
Why? Because consolidating the anti-commie vote behind Granny-Killer Andy means the Ugandan Jihadi doesn’t win? All those people don’t want a commie Jihadi in office, and it’s more than those who do.
Quite frankly, elected office should require a minimul of 2/3rds of the eligable voters in favor for someone to win.
This idea sounds appealing but I wonder if it mightn’t have some unintended consequences. Vacating all the seats not won by that margin might flip congress and would definitely vacate the White House. I’m picturing the squad running the government.
That’s why you need strict quorum rules and any empty seat votes no on any legislation or appropriation put before it.
Set better standards to be an “eligible” voter.
Combined with automatic sunsetting, it should flush out a lot of cruft.
JI my standards for who should be eligable are all ideological, and thus probably wouldn’t fly with you.
My eligibility requirement: Are you a net taxpayer? If yes, you can vote. If not, then you can’t.
That’s why you need strict quorum rules and any empty seat votes no on any legislation or appropriation put before it.
It would take them about 5 seconds to figure out how to word bills to get around this. You can’t solve the problem with rules, no matter how finely you draft them. The problem is with human nature.
