All I ask is that Boise makes it a competitive game. Although Notre Dame isn’t exactly a powerhouse this year.
Huh. I just got a text from SugarFree asking if I had a pair of high voltage gloves laying around. Weird.
Links?
If I didn’t know better, I’d say that Virginia Democrats are drinking heavily flouridated water.
Keep it up, Chicago. Donny is fine with your response and there’s now more feds on the way.
Diddy done dirty. I’m sure he’s already laid in the lube supply.
Oh, yeah. The government is still shut down.
That’s it for me. Have a great evening. Peace out, Glibbies.
Down by two scores with a quarter left.
Could be worse.
That game is on right now. I had no idea.
I don’t know what the weather is doing in Boise but it’s chilly and drizzly and dreary here.
24.5 point dog UCLA leading #7 Penn State by 2 scores in the 4th.
If the government is still shut down, shouldn’t there be a lot more bodies on the streets?
How would we know without official government figures?
We sweep them up and reset the simulator
The only reason I know it is happening is the wife comes home and complains about the extra work it makes for here. Seems they have a lot of Fed contracts, and certain people who are dependent on those contracts have to be laid off.
This is no way to run a STATE’s business.
The Narcan keeps flowing when it’s shut down, it’s essential they keep their voting base alive.
The Narcan must flow.
She noted that “one of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon.” The individual has not been publicly identified, but McLaughlin said in an X post that she was named in a CBP intelligence bulletin last week over her online posts. The woman allegedly posted online, “Hey to all my gang let’s f*** those motherf***** up, don’t let them take anyone,” with regards to agents.
“Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds,” McLaughlin said.
Needs more range time.
Good. Gunfire is justified when you are rammed (felony assault) and boxed in by a gang. You are entitled at that point to consider your life in imminent danger.
Ms. McLaughlin should get a nice long stint in the federal pen for this, if justice is served. Her co-conspirators should also see the inside of a prison for a not-short stay, as well.
Her sentence is likely to be long enough that she will wish the agent was a better shot.
They should have lit them up.
“Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area.”
I think Chicago just bought itself an expanded federal law enforcement presence.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer city.
I get why antifa is pursuing this course of action; they thrive on chaos and violence and OMB is giving them the perfect excuse to LARP “resistance”.
What I don’t get is why Democrat politicians are encouraging this. Are they that bereft of morals and principles? (Don’t answer that.)
AnitFA are the foot soldiers.
The pipeline goes: Antifa-> NGO -> elected.
In many cases it’s the same politicians who were once what-passes-for “moderate”, like Moobs. Now every one of them is a raving Marxist freak show.
The leading Democrat governors seem bereft of ideas other than higher taxes, more regulations, and opposing Trump.
We did a shave high around the head, just about temple height with enough hair for a dragon braid…maybe.
Never done that before outside military.

Yeah, and we need to know if anyone tried to grab Mrs. OBE at today’s festivities.
Doo eet!!!
The Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general, Jay Jones, apologized Friday after text messages in which he jokingly sent to a colleague about shooting former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert surfaced.
Juvenile bluster is all it is. No harm, no foul.
Remember to vote early and often for Jay Jones.
And of course, there’s more (archive link cuz NR paywall)
The most alarming of all the words in the Jay Jones text-messages scandal is “Yes.”
It comes after Jones’s interlocutor, the moderate Republican House Delegate, Carrie Coyner, reminds Jones that he had been “talking about hopping [sic] jennifer Gilbert’s children would die,” and that this is outrageous. “Yes,” Jones replies. “Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”
It the Stupid Party weren’t stupid, they’d run ads tying every single TEAM BLUE candidate in Virginia to this.
“Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”
Are those the new rules? Because if those are the new rule . . . .
See: Chicago for how this turns out.
That last sentence is what makes me think he said it in jest /s.
Social Security ends paper checks for thousands Tuesday
Interesting to see the state distribution.
I’m not especially a fan of our cashless society, but the expense and fraud associated with issuing and mailing paper checks is a legitimate issue. OK let’s see what options are available for the huge population of blue hairs that are part of the “unbanked”.
So they can create a debit card account. That means you can get cash and pay for things directly with the debit card.
So if you have no access to a bank, smartphone or a PC you can still get a fucking check. What exactly is the issue Nancy?
Same arguments with voter ID with nearly 9.9/10 adults functioning in society….wedge politics and dying issues
The issue is Trump is a racist white supremacist. I mean, try to keep up.
We’re all somebody’s child. Won’t somebody think of the children?
Outrage
An investor group representing several large public pension funds has sent a letter urging Tesla shareholders to vote down Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar pay package, and to replace all of the board members up for re-election, detailing its concerns about Tesla’s corporate governance and risk to long-term shareholder value.
Tesla’s board recently announced a proposal for an eye-wateringly large pay package for its part-time CEO, Elon Musk. The package would be worth up to $1 trillion in stock, assuming various performance metrics are met, which are attached to the company’s stock rising significantly in value.
Why don’t they just buy Musk out and show us all how it’s done?
Why are they holding shares in the company after his last two pay packages. This has to be theatre.
I know someone was salty there were no zoomers last night, but if so, I will be on later.
I was on briefly. Deadhead was there was all.
What a sloppy game. Both teams kinda suck.
The new proposal comes after a previous proposal to give Musk a $55 billion pay package, which was ruled illegal after the board misled shareholders and was ruled to be too closely tied to Musk. Tesla then put that same pay package up to another vote, using the same dishonest tactics, where it passed (by a relatively narrow margin, as far as board-recommended shareholder proposals go).
Unsurprisingly, given that the same Elon-tied board engaged in the same misleading behavior as it had before, the pay package was again voided, saving Tesla shareholders $55 billion.
Crooks and shysters. Throw them all out. Hire Mary Barra away from GM to straighten things out.
I’m not against this strategy. Of course, I was born and raised in a GM family and have wanted her gone from GM since the beginning.
I never understood how she got there. She was chief of HR.
However, I just checked. She was a GM lifer with a variety of roles and is an EE with the obligatory MBA.
As an MBA holder I can say that is probably where the trouble started. But to be fair she isn’t the diversity hire I thought she was and she likely genuinely believes in GM.
What a sloppy game. Both teams kinda suck.
Maybe they’ll set an NCAA record for total penalty yards.
They tried.
The letter is signed by SOC Investment Group, Friends Fiduciary Corporation, SHARE, several state treasurers (CO, CT, MA, MD, NM, NV, VT), the New York City Comptroller, the American Federation of Teachers, Afa Försäkring, a Swedish insurance group. These entities for the most part hold long-term funds (for retirement and the like) which are interested in stable corporate performance, rather than volatility.
Then why did they put their clients’ money into a meme stock?
Or a company highly dependent on taxpayer subsidies.
And who’s only profits have been in selling carbon credits to other automakers.
At this point the strategy is “Siphon as much out of the company before it implodes”. With the tide turning agains the climate cultists, the previous strategies are not going to be profitable for long.
It appears (((they))) have screwed up anime!
Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update
What a tempest in a teapot.
Although I’m not super happy with the font they chose and I’ve noticed wrong languages on some shows. It hasn’t been seamless from a user experience.
I have always hated Crunchyroll, and I alwasy will. I can never forgive them for what they did to Rightstuf. (and their name is stupid)
I can’t keep up. The anime world hates Jews too?
Wokies love them some anime avatars.
They hates them some animes, but ship the fuck out of the characters in inappropriate ways.
They do now that an Israeli company is providing captioning services to them.
I’m guessing they did before, too. It doesn’t just pop out of nowhere.
From the article they were using an open source tool and now this Israeli software. It probably works better despite the license cost.
I’m sure this company has other streaming clients.
My guess they caption company put out a release or somebody did some sleuthing when the captions changed format.
Bring back fan subs on VHS!
So if you have no access to a bank, smartphone or a PC you can still get a fucking check. What exactly is the issue Nancy?
They should be able to go to a post office and get their social security in cash.
Go to a post office??? What about the poor folks who can’t get a driver’s license or access to free bus service?? The cash should be hand-delivered to their front door in bill denominations of the recipient’s choosing.
Singles. Straight to the rippers.
I thought strippers wanted at least $2 bills these days.
Well, they prefer them to you beaning them with Sacajawea dollars.
People are so strange. Granted, I DGAF about football, but why the fuck do people give a god damn about *college* football? Who in the fuck outside of Indiana cares about Notre Dame? I’m *from* IN and I don’t give a shit. (It’s odd they’re in a college bracket they have no business being in. Strange, that, and no one cares, cuz it’s just a Part of The Plan. (No, the plan isn’t “horrifying.” It’s designed. Happily.)
Even when The Plan is so stupid, but people have *still* invested so much of themselves into it despite such, they care especially, so. See also: Religion. Politics. Fruit.
OK, ya get *more* games? Even if they’re sub-NFL, they’re still fun Distraction Dust? Wanna see who gets drafted+? OK, well. Perhaps invest in a *proper* sport, and have – say – 162 games per team, and ya might not be desperate enough to scrape your neighbor’s (rival) bowl for that last shreds of resin you can puff.
(The Cubs and Yanks didn’t anticipate their Game 1s looking like this. Ouch. I much prefer the Phils over LA. Almost solely because of Schwarber, also a fellow IU-alum, in addition to his greatness w the Cubs and beyond. I also appreciate Harper. And Fuck LA. In everything. Whole damn town consistently -openly- tells the world how fucked it and Hollywood really are. And people still love it. Well. Let them eat their bread as well, I s’pose. Circus don’t float on water.)
Shame you don’t care for football, Ev. There may be an opening in the booth calling the Colts game tomorrow.
Somebody objected to his butt-fumbling?
I saw a bit about that earlier. Sanchez has “stab wounds” and the other man has “lacerations.” Seems they got into a drunken melee, and I’m guessing the attacker had the knife, with the (I’m guessing the much better built) ex-pro got the knife and slashed back. Having said that, I’m guessing the other dude was younger and coulda done the same, but someone about to call a pro game ‘likely’ isn’t carrying a knife with intent to use it, but humans be human. *shrug*
I don’t go downtown, or out in general, in Indy, but I did work on the SE side in plasma centers. Same as any other ‘big’ city, plenty of neighborhoods ya just don’t go to. Pretty much, cuz what there do ya wanna see? I listen to Cincinnati radio for Reds MLB + news, and especially after that riot-beatdown a couple months back, it seems common that many simply won’t go to downtown CinCinn. The Reds’ attendance reflects this.
(Just looked it up; better than I thought, though still 21st in MLB with ~21k/game. (Cubs are 5th, w ~37k/ game; occupancy ~39k.))
@GT: *gush-swoon* at that dream. I’ve written sports, and I’d assassinate a squirrel to get a chance to call a few innings for any pro-level baseball. (When writing his book his season covering the Evansville Otters, Frontier League, and travelling with the team, Dad was in the radio booth for a bit with the announcers, maybe a few times.)
I know that I could get quite good at it, though a fun childhood thought. See also: Stand-up, though I’m taking that more-adultish thought more seriously, now. In contact with the Improv Fest folk I went to see yesterday, but that’s decidedly *not* the type of performing I’m interested in. (Yuck, tho would be fun with friends ya had a rhythm with.)
^^re both and all: The less y̵o̵u̵ ̵k̵n̵o̵w̵ you’ve practiced something, the easier it looks.
I don’t get why people are invested in spotsball.
Honest, sincere answer I’ve mentioned before: You have to have *played* it to really ‘get’ it. Growing up with a father, bro, etc also gets you ‘into’ it. But you can’t ‘understand’ baseball until you get in the batter’s box and face live pitching. Most people, ~75% are straight up to afraid to stay in the box at all. If you haven’t experienced it, it doesn’t make sense why the little curves and breaks are so difficult to pitch *and* to hit. And how much it hurts to get hit by one. Or how hard it is to catch, or play defense at all.
Same thing with dogs and swimming, and yep, the racially-tinged bits of those have worked when ‘ev-splaining’ this to others in-person. Folk remain terrified of that shit and ‘rarely’ overcome it.
Dad, and Mom for a spell when they met, started out as sports reporters at the Bluefield Telegraph in West Virginia, mid ’70s. So I certainly grew up with it, simply that, there was always a game on. (Mom never actively watched.) Colin didn’t care, but I sure as shit did.
That’s a fair reason why you don’t ‘get’ it, and I don’t think you should, or that you’re wrong, or anything. Folk other than me never played, but love it just the same for one reason or another. ($$) Many people like music but can’t actually play. Similar.
I gotta say. When ya [could] play, there’s an extra happy-hormone or three pumped into your system when ya watch.
We all get it one way or another, I s’pose, when all things are right. Boats, bowlin’ or brewin’. (Lamps, very popular.)
I have played.
When I’m not in the game, and don’t know anyone who is, my investment in it is low to nonexistant. Playing is one thing. Getting invested in spectating is what I don’t get.
I wouldn’t say I’m invested but I do like the background noise and the light “tribalism”. Plus I’m so tapped out on scripted moving pictures that I’ll turn on most anything live for the novelty.
@UCS: I care about the Cubs, but that also means I care about my divisional rivals and the Overall Picture. Add my inherent interest, and I’m all in. Positive Distraction Dust at its best. Leading to
@Rhy: Background noise is absolutely necessary for me. Always. I *will* just talk to myself. (Rarely in public, but I do.) *Without* caring about the teams, baseball (TV or radio) is the best around. But Briscoe-era L&O also tie-in to that ‘need.’ But at night?
Fuck visuals or voice. Victorian-era ambiance is still my go-to slumber background.
I dont get it either.
Worse yet are the adults that go watch high school games when they have no children on the team or cheer squad.
Creepers.
That is *absolutely* obscene. Let kids play. I’d prefer sandlot-type shit came back, tho I never exactly had it growing up, we at least *played,* and weren’t (always) helicoptered. Goes to Mo’s point about letting athletes get hurt cuz, uh, that’s kinda what we’re paying to see, the utmost of your physical abilities.
This is a bit of me thinking back on talks about how the 90s were the best decade to grow up in. In a distinctly un-‘libertarian’ moment growing up, Dad brought me with him to farms along the way, where we straight up stole maybe a dozen hay bales to use as the backstop for the batting cage ‘he’ built in our backyard.
(He did know every local farmer, so he had some leash, but even he (now) admits he didn’t know how assholish that really was. If it makes Karma feel better, taking practice as a catcher with them, I *did* get a chiggers infestation little thingy of nastiness. That was unpleasant, I do shall say.)
There are some small towns in rural areas a few counties north of Dayton that I understand take their high school football very seriously. I can imagine that in those areas going to the local HS football game on Friday night is just what folks do as a social/civic pride thing. I don’t think it means that all those farm folks around Coldwater/Fort Laramie/Saint Henry etc. are necessarily a bunch of pedos. I imagine there are places like that all over the country. What else is there to do?
My wife would do that. She loves baseball, and just likes to see a good game played by people having fun.
I can’t have civic pride towards an organization that steals from me to fund ‘education’ much less games on my dime.
Fuck dem kids.
Yup. I would guess there are many times more than what has been discovered by dumb luck so far.
But let’s keep pretending that the country is not 100% bent on destroying the US.
“But let’s keep pretending that the country is not 100% bent on destroying the US.”
The web behind that (Other) List That Shall Not Be Named is far deeper, far-too entrenched, and is likely another backdoor compact between multiple interlocking parties that ‘We The People don’t know shit about.’ And won’t. There is legit 4-D Chess going on between nations now, same as ever, though now more complicated through AI and satellites and GPS and drones and current-everything.
While the feds are in Chicago maybe they can take a look.
As a side note, if they don’t find any in Chicago then it’s not worth saving.
“…if they don’t find any in Chicago then it’s not worth saving.”
I know the Cubs lost against the best team in the Bigs in Game 1, but damn, dude. We got runs to find.
Any of you Law/business glibs know if not getting paid for preparing plans for an addition would fall under a Mechanic’s Lien or would it be a collection service type thing.
It’s probably a state specific question.
Likely theft of services.
Good luck getting it paid, even if there was a contract. I’ve heard more than One story about that exact thing locally, even familial. My dad’s wife designed a house for one of the neighbors, got stiffed on it, zero recourse.
Yeah, I don’t expect to get paid just want top know what the proper threat should be in my last ditch effort. Luckily I only had time invested and it wasn’t a big job. I may just tell the guy he’s an asshole and congratulate him on being the first person to stiff me in 37 years.
I have worked on our OKC house enough, Im golfing, cheers
Whenever I’m feeling down, I go back and look at one of my Firsts and jerk off to it.
I believe you.
What’s not to believe? This should be aspirational to everyone here. Even Firsters have down moments, but unlike the rest of you we have greatness to look back upon and to use as a stress reliever.
I like women but you do you.
Rosie Palmer and her five beautiful sisters not good enough for you?

Okay, well, that transcription gig I’m helping out my friend with, well… I kinda kicked over some rocks that were hiding pretty dark things.
No, not child porn.
Okay, first, you need to know her company has never hired US transcriptionists. They’re all Indian. She’s been bitching for years about how they can’t follow directions or whatever, because HER boss (at the time) said her instructions were clear as a bell.
Narrator: They were not.
Anyway, so my friend had a situation and she rounded up all her old transcription employees and buddies to help bail out this one account.
So! I’m in a position with my friend to be able to say, “Stop and let me formulate clear questions and responses.” So once I made her pay attention to my issues, she got mad because
*drumroll*
The Indians were not the problem.
And it took someone with a clean-document fetish who has no fucks left to give to churn up some mud.
I can go to bed feeling very accomplished tonight and there are a whole lot of people in Hyderabad who owe me a debt of gratitude.
And, oh, I got a long-term template-building and file-management gig out of it, too. Getting paid to format documents. Who knew. 🙄
Is the gig a blessing or a curse?
Eh, it’s money, doing something I know how to do well, at home in my jammies, for a good boss, and it came to me. As for formatting documents, that’s what I’ve ALSO been doing for the last 15 years. It’s like, no, don’t throw me into the briar patch!

Good morning, Sean and Ted’S.!
It’s still warm enough to go out to Tranquility Base. It’s just not light enough yet. In the meantime, I’m eating my overnight oats and watching out the window for sufficient sunrise to venture forth. 🌅
I didn’t know you could grow grains that quickly.
Well, it DOES involve steroids, so… 😄
😂
Feeling any better this morning?
Cough and Phlegm.
Most of the rest of the symptoms are so minor as to not be worth complaining about.
Yup. That’s what always seems to hang on the longest. 🤧
Okay – oats are eaten, and it’s plenty light enough to go outside. Now I just have to get this cat off my lap. 😒🐱👤

In May, Rite Aid was operating about 1,200 locations in 15 states. Most of those were sold to rivals CVS, Albertsons, Kroger and Walgreens.
The two in my area are now Goodwill.
Last I passed by either of them, the two in my area were vacant.

I’m not so much in the mood for Sabbath, I’m going to put on Megadeth instead.
First break. Highlight so far will be hard to top. Picked a bike for kid. Huffy, Spiderman, 12″.
Oh, yes, I rode it back to our bay, maybe a couple hundred yards. It was remarkably difficult, my legs wanting much more space.

Good morning!
I had an excellent match yesterday, the kind where the act of shooting brings joy, no fuckups, beautiful weather, AND a good finish (10th of 60).
As for boomers spending down their wealth: it’s all going to be seized when they go into nursing care, so why TF not? I am sure that the ending of the norm of kids caring for parents at the end would result in smaller estates.
If the parents don’t create a family trust long enough before entering long-term care….
Why would they trust their children? Look who those runts were raised by
