Home field advantage used to mean something. Not anymore. The Dodgers (BOO!) and Mariners both went on the road and left with a 2-0 series lead. I’d forgotten about this case. And that’s about it for a slow sports day. Moving on to the links.
I’m sure this will go over well with the taxpayers. “You’re here illegally and are hunkering down while the government agency with the authority to remove you is working in the area? Here, we’ll take money we don’t have and pay your rent with it” wouldn’t go over well in a civilized part of the country. Let’s see how it plays there.
Oh no, not “upheaval.” Prosecutors are removed all the time when administrations change. But it draws gasps from the media when Trump does it for some reason.
Good. Now hurry up with the ruling. Title IX is black letter law. Don’t let the previous admin get away with perverting its text and don’t let states do so either.
“She shouldn’t have worn that short skirt.” Heaven forbid they go after the people committing crimes when they can force others to spend more money.
Nobody is above the law. Well, they shouldn’t be anyway. We’ll see how this plays out, but this lady is looking stupider and more brazen by the day.
Oh no! Anyway… I simply don’t care if they blow up every single narcoterrorist boat in the Caribbean.
This is the tip of the iceberg. Without governments forcing people to buy EVs, expect to see even more of this.
What’s wrong with these people? You get a chance to stay alive and continue holding your own people hostage, and you’re gonna queer the deal by doing shit like this? Fucking scumbags.
And another one gone. I hope their relocating employees leave their retarded politics at home.
Damn, dude. Go rent a reefer trailer or something. Or just say you’re full. Anything but this.
Continuing the rocking from Monday. Albeit with a different band. I don’t expect any complaints. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Wednesday, dear friends.
Come on Brewers. I already have little interest in the World Series.
Very few people outside of the west coast will care about an LA – Seattle WS.
Why should any of us ever care about east cost sports?
/Seattle fan.
Unless you’re a Dogers fan, or have a heart of stone, you’d want to see Seattle finally win one.
Wait… those internet meme pups have a major league team now? Who knew….
Zwak, why should any of us care about the east coast at all? Rust and humidity.
The only interest I have is who is going to beat the fucking Dodgers. They are going to the WS for sure. It would be nice to see the Mariners do it.
General Motors said on Oct. 14 that it will bear a $1.6 billion loss to scale back its electric vehicle (EV) operations, citing weaker expected demand following recent U.S. policy changes that ended federal EV tax credits and loosened emissions rules.
Now end the rooftop solar subsidies so those companies stop bothering me.
🤔 Could one government put a 100% tax on the value of a subsidy put in place by another government? Just index it so that it always cancels out?
Structure is similar to how states tax Medicaid providers to siphon federal funds?
I don’t know how that one works. I was thinking about how to make it pointless for state level subsidies to be added, so removing the fed and having them tax state subsidies came to mind.
Morning.
For once, I have nothing coming to mind to remark on.
I do feel obligated to make noise.
Apologies for wasting your time.
Let’s talk about your completely misguided take on chocolate.
I keed, I keed.
Seriously, though, I’m contemplating a third article completely about the sins of Hershey’s.
So far my experience with specialty choclates has ranged from “what’s so special?” to “tastes like spooning cocoa powder stright from the can”
You’re free to send me argument chocolates to change my mind.
You going to ask for nylons too, UCS?
No, SDF, I’m a glutton, not a transvestite.
Not even a sweet transvestite from Transexual Transylvania apparently…. So noted.
Nylons for UCS
I’ve recently (say in the past year or two) started seeing cocoa beans popping up at some of the produce stands up at the West Side Market. I’ve been tempted to buy one a couple of times, even though I can’t think of a use case.
Unless you shell out the hefty price for a melanger, you’re not going to get much out of the beans themselves. The grainy texture from being processed any other way will be distracting and diminishing.
Unless you’re one of those weirdos who just snack on the beans directly.
UCS:
These are about the length of my forearm. I mean, I could always make my own chocolate bitters or chocolate liqueur with one.
UCS, you have inspired me.
*clears throat*
So far my experience with 20-year-old single malt whisky has been “what’s so special?”
You’re free to send me argument bottles to change my mind.
That’s a pod, not a bean. The beans are inside the pods.
So it’s even worse because the beans are unfermented, meaning they’re not useful yet.
slumbrew — I’d start asking “What’s so special about Sydney Sweeny”… but I think my wife would still take umbrage even with this new paradigm…
I like the cut of your jib, SDF.
@Mr Ilium – do you know which cultivar? I think some of them have a natural sweetness in the not-pith material between the beans. So that might be of use.
Or you could go whole hog and ferment the beans yourself, whereupon you will have chocolate flavor.
@Slumbrew – I have no intention of changing your mind. Whiskeys and whiskys are not something people should spend money on. Distill your own and drink it fresh.
Why do you deny SCIENCE!? Obviously humans are descended from scavengers and thus we require aging/fermenting of our foodstuffs.
sends Slumbrew a pint of Old Smuggler for comparison purposes…
Thanks, ES!
I have some paint that needs stripping…
The sins of Hersheys.
That involves their highway no doubt.
It isn’t like LA has anything else they could be spending money on.
Like the fire department.
Or water storage.
Or sewage.
Or actually dealing with the homeless.
Or streamlining permits so taxpaying citizens might rebuild their homes and not be driven out…
Nope… the true priority is gulag style packed housing near mass transit for the non-citizens, because that’s going to be the voting base once they kill off or drive away all the icky people who actually pay for things now. And it will all be fairy dust, rainbows and unicorn farts… from the Pacific to Barstow.
I’m not a violent person at heart… but I truly believe every generation before 1910 at least would have tarred and feathered at minimum these horrendous “public servants”. Lincoln would have sent Sherman in by now.
You keep forgetting that this is the govt that those people voted for. Let them get it, good and hard, and for as long as possible. Otherwise the lesson won’t stick.
The lesson will not be learned, never mind stick. Leftists are incapable of drawing the connection between the policies they vote for and the consequences of those policies. It only didn’t work because of wreckers and Kulaks, and they just need to prog harder.
You forget I’ve seen California politics — the government unions are very very good at what they do there. And they’ve crafted the governments from top to bottom so the actual tax payers have as little say as possible.
sdf is right. Given the lack of transparency in California’s elections, is it any wonder that one party, no matter how destructive, dominates? Yes, the two major cites are the 800 pound gorillas, but when there is no way to trust elections…
See I assume that there really are that many idiot voters, not that the will of the people is being thwarted by dark conspiratorial forces.
I’m not trying to characterize it as “the will of the people”, just that the people who actually have to shoulder the cost are intentionally kept a minority (so their votes can’t overwhelm typically) and the unions are very very good at mobilizing their votes… so the sloth and apathy is what keeps out “the will of the people”.
Not a dark conspiracy… just politics as usual when the unions use the dues from the contracts they negotiate using the government officials they elect to swamp advertising and keep their rank and file voting as directed.
That is the crux of the issue. The only way out of the mess is to stop throwing money out the window or to stop allowing people to vote themselves other people’s money.
The problem with that, JI, is that until their is actual transparency, there is no way of knowing what the actual outcome of any given election truly is.
The worse thing about the various machinations of the political left is the destruction of integrity, not any cheating.
The lesson won’t stick anyway. Progressives aren’t capable of learning.
I think LA is already spending far too much “dealing with the homeless”. In fact, I think that’s a major reason they have so many.
That and there’s no winter frost.
That’s why I said “actually dealing with”. I’m assuming some mix of prisons and asylums would be needed, frankly. Not the perpetual feeding of NGOs they’re doing now, natch.
I guess my point was, you could actually deal with the homeless for less than they spend now.
Stop giving politicians credit for wanting to solve the homeless problem. They want no such thing.
You and I see homeless people. Politicians spend our money on their cronies “for the homeless.” The more homeless, the more graft. They have every incentive to keep this racket going indefinitely.
ORANGE MAN BAAAAAD! PUDDING BRAINS BETTER! BAAAA!
That seems to be the extent of their logic, in any event.
Pretty much.
Politics as team sport shows humanity at its worst. People end up actually hoping things will go badly in ways that impact their own lives because they think the disaster will show the other team in a bad light.
“Workers and unions are praising the law, saying it will boost job growth and help keep staffers safe. ”
Because they lobbied for it?
I know nothing about the law, but if Unions are in favor, it’s almost certainly a bad idea.
“The National Retail Federation said shoplifting nearly doubled between 2019 and 2023, right when self-checkout was becoming increasingly popular.”
And stealing less than $950 was legal?
It also doubled during Covid. So by their logic, we should be blaming the Chinese for the rise in shoplifting.
It wasn’t legal, it was just announced in a very public fashion that it wouldn’t be prosecuted. Pair that with most corporate stores policies of not going hands on with suspected shoplifters and you saw the results.
I don’t blame them when stopping a thief can get you a bullet in the head these days.
But no worries. That sort of crime is “normal”; just ask the Democrats that run those places.
Bell also argued that the rules will ensure that grocery companies spend less on security — including plexiglass containers, new ink tags, or private guards — and actually help with profits.
The city said it would next take up legislation on streamlining inventory and store layout. “Business owners don’t have the knowledge required to make such decisions.”
Are you telling me it has nothing to do with “a tension between the rich and the poor” or “residents who live below the federal poverty line”??
JFC that article is mendacious AF. That said, the law is BS and won’t solve anything, either.
Revoking the “shoplifting is not a crime” last year (I think it was last year) was a start, certainly. Not sure if the DAs have started actually prosecuting… but yeah, coming down hard on the actual criminals is the pendulum swing that needs to happen… Given how much California seems willing to tolerate (see LA and rent above), not holding my breath… just hoping I can get the houses consolidated and sell the CA one before the rampaging mobs of cannibals or whatnot start roaming the countryside.
Of course Canada doesn’t give the home field advantage.
I mean, did anyone think otherwise?
Certainly North Carolina should be extraditing her “tenant” niece… might be some interesting information in a plea bargain there as well.
Given NC’s governor (assuming it is still the “Let the MAGA people flood, I don’t care!” asshole), not holding my breath on this either.
Apparently it’s not a crime worthy of extradition under NC law. I read that in a piece the other day.
Most states won’t extradite for most crimes unless it’s a biggie. They just wait for you to show up again and get you. Or if they are part of a compact with another state, they may put an administrative suspension on your driver’s license until you get said issue resolved. You won’t find out about said suspension until you go to renew.
Assaulting a cop?!
But damn this story just gets better and better.
I’m hoping with the Big Bloated Bill at least killing various green subsidies we’ll see similar trends in solar and wind as well — and maybe the “Green Revolution” types can find out what the true market values of all this “Wave of the Future” crap really is.
My personal expectation is that the true market for EVs is there (they make sense for some) but is small, the battery tradeoffs aren’t entirely understood and might still kill the market… and what little market there is would be handled well by Tesla assuming rabid politics doesn’t dissuade their probable customer base.
Since I own no stock I’m aware of (401k management hides this so well I can’t really know) that would be affected… I’ll just sit back and see along with the rest of y’all.
Reality will win in the end; it’s inevitable. Luxury beliefs never last forever.
Since I own no stock I’m aware of (401k management hides this so well I can’t really know) that would be affected
Wut.
“Look… we’ve killed so many people and have so many corpses lying around — sometimes we mix them up a little! Mea culpa…”
Probably more like “we don’t want them to see how badly we tortured this guy, so go out in the street, murder some rando who looks vaguely similar to what that guy looked like when we kidnapped him, and we’ll stick him in this box.”
Barbarians blissfully unaware of DNA testing.
Are muslims circumsized?
CT – If I recall, they tend to do so in the early teens rather than infancy.
No, but it is hard to check when their dick has been blown off.
Are muslims circumsized?
Just the girls
None of the unaccounted for hostages that were released alive were female. I don’t know how many of the supposedly dead ones were.
The reasons for trying to slip a ringer into the body bag include:
(1) The real deal would show evidence of torture/abuse.
(2) The real deal was executed too recently. Turning over a fresh corpse as part of an exchange is a really bad look.
I think both of those reasons make me wonder how many of the dead ones were female. If any were still alive last week, I can definitely see why the Palis wouldn’t want to turn her over so she could testify about what she went through.
I’ve read at least some sources claiming that all female hostages were released in earlier hostage swaps. It’s a reasonable enough thing that I can believe it, and I already think so little of Hamas that the veracity (or not) of that couldn’t lower my opinion of them.
They do the same thing to boys as they do women.
More so.
I’m not a lawyer — but I expect they’ve opened themselves up to some stiff fines here.
Made worse by letting the problem fester.
Don’t decay! Do it today!
Since it’s so shocking, I’m sure the DA will go through the evidence with some rigor.

He should have been able to tell, because the blowjob was just too good…

Federal Government Shutdown – Day 15
Factions have begun to form. You’d think there would be clear lines and alliances by job funtion, but it seems we have broken by floor level instead.
The first floor, the Keyboard Warriors. Managerial staff, harmless enough as there is no pay for them to withhold foesnt scare much of the other factions. Their power comes from control of bureaucratic processes and their leaders, The Three, former GS-13s with the power of none.
However, they hired a mercenary group that is rumored to live deep in the bowels of the building. These fabled men have stories of old that they breath fire and ice, conjure water to appear in various spots in the building and are said to control the thermodynamic stability of the entire facility through means not listed in the maintenance manual.
The second floor consists of the Trolls and Intelligi. A mix-mash group of controllers, the Trolls, sitting aimlessly in the dark staring at computer screens remote viewing objects in the sky at great lengths.
The Intelligi was once the men and women who maintained and calibrated the sophisticated machinary that the Trolls utilized. The relationship has always been symbiotic.
The last group is the Tower Flowers. Do not let this let your guard down. They are fierce warriors of their power, sotting high upon us, watching us, judging us. They also can see outside and that the world is normal, but always report to the other factions that it is the opposite.
I sit in limbo, of neither faction as my paperwork from the times before was never processed but was released by one of the Three. This percieved role of neutrality has me perfectly situated to observe and document this bureaucratic island of absurdities.

“”A beef over a food order mix-up sparked a vicious, seven-person brawl inside a Texas Whataburger last week, according to reports and authorities.
Police were dispatched to the San Antonio Whataburger just after 3 a.m. last Sunday in response to the wild melee, the San Antonio Police Department told KSAT.
“Part of another table’s order was mistakenly brought to my son and his friends. Instead of the staff acknowledging their error, they reportedly told the other customers, ‘They have your food,’” mother Rebecca Noel posted on Facebook alongside a video of the fight.”
https://nypost.com/2025/10/14/us-news/order-mix-up-sparks-bloody-7-person-brawl-inside-texas-whataburger/

Many fast-food joints serve you your order tableside
Whataburger is open at 3AM? I thought this was Waflle or Huddle House territory….
IHOP for the drunken college kid side of things…

Heavy on the wait
A very similar situation is why I don’t go to Whataburger anymore.
They gave my breakfast to another customer and ignored me.
I don’t make a fuss, but I also don’t return.
“But for 23-year-old Avalon Saph, known to her fans as Lana, her most lucrative gig comes from something far less conventional: selling videos of herself farting.”

Do we need to update the saying to “There’s a sniffer born every minute” now?
“ It was a sound before it was a taste: a sharp, explosive crunch.”
See article above about farting for $200 on OnlyFans.
How did this get moved? It was a comment on the apple article.
Yeah — if she has a “sharp, explosive crunch”, I would think medical assistance instead of OnlyFans would be called for.
All stock photos…so none of her?

That is odd. She has an IG.

Dunno if it is the same girl but I remember some chic making a fortune doing fart videos. I am sure one of you pervs posted that.

America’s Favorite Apple Is a Farmer’s Nightmare
https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/honeycrisp-apples-farmers-grow-fuji-gala-8914927a?st=C12gJS&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
WSJ hates me. How is it any worse than the usual grafting?
It was too big, too fragile and a magnet for disease.
….
Its thin skin is easily punctured by its own stem, which means workers must hand-clip the fruit from the tree, cutting productivity in half. The tree tends to produce more apples than it can handle, so growers must thin out the fruit. The Thorntons spray the trees frequently to treat an endemic calcium deficiency.
And to coax the apple into developing its signature red-pink hue, workers lay out sheets of reflective material by hand. Even a healthy apple is susceptible to bitter pit, a disorder that marks the skin with black splotches and ruins the fruit’s flesh.
I see.
When I buy apples I tend to go with Granny Smiths. They have a sharper flavor and are rarely mushy. I hope they’re easy to grow.
It’s finicky, prone to calcium deficiency, and has to be hand picked.
IOW, since it was bred for taste and texture, it’s not well suited to industrial agriculture
honeycrisp does not sound tasty
How Honeycrisp Apples Went From Marvel to Mediocre
An investigation into the Honeycrisp apple and how a complex string of events led to a decline in the quality of a beloved apple variety.
https://www.seriouseats.com/how-honeycrisp-apples-went-from-marvel-to-mediocre-8753117
The honey Chrisps are good.
Why can’t I get Macintosh apples, anymore?
trademarked?
now they are i-Apples?
The best apples I’ve eaten have been of the varieties “Sweet Sixteen” and “Gold Rush.”
However, most “Sweet Sixteen” are not as good as the one I bought at the General Store in Woodstock VT. I’ve only encountered “Gold Rush” once, so I can’t comment on variability.
I read somewhere that the vast majority of Honeycrisp apples (which I love, BTW) are unsaleable, and get repurposed into juice.
That would track with the large amount of Honeycrisp branded cider and juice I see on the shelves.
Different apple varieties have different uses, some work great for baking, others great for eating out of hand, others great for juice/cider.
Fucking farmers. Not a good year? “Waaaah, I hardly have anything to sell!!” (but at least the price/bushel is high). Good year for crops? “Waaaaah, prices are too low!!!!” (but you have a lot to sell).
Growing up in a semi-farming area I watched these farmers go through boom and busts year after year. Basically you end up with pretty much the same amount each year, but you spend all year bitching. They also chase the “hot” crop. Last year someone planted soy beans and made a killing so next year everyone plants soy beans which leads to a glut and low prices. Corn is another good example of this.
I’d throw them all in jail, except they own the best hunting land so I guess I’ll let them off.
Every Democrat in California will be reelected in a landslide?
You are a true seer.
I am a tad bit interested in how the vote on Guv Greasehair’s proposal to strip the redistricting panel will come out. Not the final result, since as you have said, that is known; but rather how will the media try to cover up the shenanigans.
Saw someone with a mail-in ballot show how it is possible for an unsuspecting voter to put the ballot in and have the vote choice visible through a hole in the envelope. I think the holes are there for a machine to determine if the envelope is empty, but it was suspiciously easy to get the spot for “no” to line up with one and see if it was marked.
My charity that this was obliviousness or incompetence is long depleted.
BREAKING: College kids say stupid shit.
“The Young Republicans, a national GOP college grassroots organization, was last night plunged into chaos after leaked group chats, where members referred to black people as monkeys and praised Adolf Hitler, were published by Politico….
Vance argued that Democrats were silent when leaked messages showed the party’s Virginia attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, once called for the former Virginia House speaker to be shot and wished another GOP politician’s children dead.
The vice president said: ‘This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia.’
….
‘Translation: “Because a politician for the other team said something indefensible, I shall refuse to criticize something else indefensible said by my team” is exactly the kind moral cowardice and sophistry I’ve come to expect from our Vice President,’ wrote The Dispatch editor-in-chief Jonah Goldberg on X.””

Ah I see now…equating what a grown ass man said about killing someone so they change their politics and then pissing on their grave is the same as what is…by all accounts…a typical Call of Duty chat log
So, the left has been calling Trump, whom the right seems to like, Hitler for years. And now they are surprised that someone one said right praises him in writing?
Can you get any more stupid?
I would never call for the murder of political/media pundits I dislike. I’ll let the Proggies claim that territory.
That said, I do keep hoping to read Jonah Goldberg’s obituary…

People wanting a good original streaming show should check out Blue Eye Samurai. More operatic than realistic, but bitchin’
I am glad I bought a torque screwdriver, because 15 in-lbs is way less than I would have tightened the screws on the optic had I been doing it freehand. I should have pics of NuGun on its rig tomorrow.
Is the torque torx?
Naturally. That is a legitimate improvement in fastener technology.
Wait until you need inch-ounces.
I typically use purple loc-tite, since I’m paranoid about needing to remove the optic, but this tiny amount pf pressure makes me wish I used blue.
After having bad experiences with all flavors of LocTite on pistol optic screws, I’ve moved to Vibra-Tite VC-3. Highly recommended.
I also bought a ridiculously expensive Wiha torque driver set, which I love more than life itself.
I use Whia at work, since they’re paying for it.
I’ve been tempted to watch Blue Eye Samurai.
Looked a bit too girl power in the previews though.

@ArkansasWorker
Stalin on individualism and collectivism…
—-
There is no, nor should there be, irreconcilable contrast between the individual and the collective, between the interests of the individual person and the interests of the collective.
There should be no such contrast, because collectivism, socialism, does not deny, but combines individual interests with the interests of the collective.
Socialism cannot abstract itself from individual interests. Socialist society alone can most fully satisfy these personal interests.
More than that; socialist society alone can firmly safeguard the interests of the individual. In this sense there is no irreconcilable contrast between ‘individualism’ and socialism.
But can we deny the contrast between classes, between the propertied class, the capitalist class, and the toiling class, the proletarian class?
On the one hand we have the propertied class which owns the banks, the factories, the mines, transport, the plantations in colonies.
These people see nothing but their own interests, their striving after profits. They do not submit to the will of the collective; they strive to subordinate every collective to their will.

“Donald Trump’s US state department said on Tuesday it had revoked the visas of six foreigners over social media comments made about the assassination of far-right commentator Charlie Kirk.
“The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans,” the state department said in a statement posted on X. “The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.””

‘Australia’s high court has unanimously backed the government’s 2024 decision to refuse the rightwing provocateur Candace Owens a visa to enter the country.
The full bench of the court ruled on Wednesday that the minister’s denial did not infringe an implied constitutional freedom of political communication.
Last October the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, refused Owens’ visa application before a planned national speaking tour, arguing that she had the “capacity to incite discord”.”
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/oct/15/candace-owens-australia-visa-high-court-backs-government-decision-deny
I don’t like this trend.
Honestly, kicking out or refusing admittance to foreigners who are hostile to the US causes me no heartburn at all.
In fact it kind of sounds like a core responsibility of government…
Concur
“hostile to the US”, or Australia, seems a bit of a stretch. Saying bad things about Charlie Kirk, or spouting conspiracy theories, isn’t terrorism. It’s just opinions the current administration doesn’t like — the U.S. not granting visas to people with leftist opinions, and Australia not granting a visa to someone with right-wing opinions.
Kirk “far right?”
That’s funny.
Guy was moderate at his best.

English man looking at Buc-ee’s salaries and crying at how poor Americans are…
The UK would be the 10th poorest US state by per-capita GDP if it were a state. The average American is richer than the average European, and even their richest nations are competing not against places like Texas, but places like Mississippi.
GDP is a meaningless metric, it does not reflect living standards.
Correct, but I wanted to give the Euros a fighting chance.
US standards of living just blow Euro standards of living out of the water.
I saw this picture of central Madrid compared to an area of rural Mississippi which begs to differ.
I could take two pictures of Madrid that would say that the standards of living in Madrid are much better than the standards of living in Madrid.
That would require you to go to Madrid. I’m not sure it would be worth it.
but you didn’t. check mate.
A Food Service Manager at Buc-ees is making $150k/year?
What the fuck have I been doing with my life?

Yeah, that job sounds like it kinda sucks. The pay is to keep whoever is willing and able to do it from moving to greener pastures.
I dunno if ‘sucks’ is the right word for providing the joy of brisket tacos to the masses.
I doubt it is any harder, or any more soul-destroying, than my present job. I should check out the new Bucc-ees that’s opening on I-64 next year…
If the Buc-ee’s closest to me were an hour away, I’d have applied for a job there. I need a job pretty badly.

“Fascism is back in style. Forget the old symbols: swastikas, nooses, Confederate flags, skinheads’ shaved heads and combat boots. Extremism has a new look, and it is as fashionable as ever.
Today’s extremist styles are more diverse and more subtle. Beyond T-shirts that advertise blatant racism, polo shirts with coded symbols create a shared in-group identity and signal support of violence to other believers. Tradwife-style prairie dresses and beauty regimens promote conservative visions of family. Clothing is a powerful tool to spread fascist ideas to promote authoritarianism and recruit new members to this cause….
Now, welcome to fascist fashion 3.0. The aesthetics of modern-day extremists are far reaching and mainstream. Even more so since 2017 and the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, fascist fashion – or fascion (an amalgam of “fashion” and “fascism”) – is now at your fingertips. Right-wing groups have their own labels, co-opt pre-existing fashion brands and hawk their wares online via TikTok and eBay.”

World of Warcraft already had an entire plotline in the desert where Indy’s enemies were promoting fashionism.
I have read but have not replayed than content to know, that it’s been deleted as being too edgy.
You are a fascist if you don’t wear Antifa clothing. It’s in the name.
I’ve decided anyone using the word “fascist” is just referring to “people I don’t like” and it makes total sense.
I haven’t recently talked to any of my acquaintances who say it, but my first question would be “What is your definition of that word?”
Only fascists make people define the words they use, fascist.
I’m embracing it. As I said, if “fascist” means “people I don’t like”, I’m a big old fascist and so are most of my friends and family.
Fascists all stick together!

The Franks were Germans, so there’s been a long tradition of that.

Definitely not the sort of fake that would be used to sow discord.
Corporations make the most bone-headed business decisions ever, chasing short-term profits over long-term stability because a bunch of baby MBA beancounters say so.
Government really DOES do the stupidest shit imaginable and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on queer trans interpretive dance in Colombia, and the most outrageous conspiracy theories of the 60s, 70s, and 80s were actually true.
At this point, I’m not discounting ANYTHING.
That’s just what the CIA wants you to think!
CIA? No, this was the Mossad!
I think it was because JFK had information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of Hillary Clinton.

“There are contorted excuses for why MAGA is so mad that Bad Bunny, an American citizen born in Puerto Rico, would snag this plum gig. But absolutely no one is confused about the real source of the anger. Mr. Bunny, whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio, raps and sings almost exclusively in Spanish.

Or maybe because most people had never heard of him? Unlike Shakira and Jennifer Fucking Lopez.
I’m not sure where they are getting this take.
I got the impression that people were more apathetic.
He’s a no-name moron who wears women’s clothing on stage is more the reason. Of all the people in the world that could have been picked, they picked that guy. Nobody I know, young or old have heard of this person.
They picked him for canceling his US tour “because Trump” and implying his audience would get deported.
This. The vast majority of “MAGA” doesn’t give a shit.
And they don’t regularly erupt in violence the way the Salon readership does when it doesn’t get its way.
But Salon is, as usual, lying. The reason some people are critical is because the guy is more famous for hating the U.S. than his “music”. He was chosen for this reason.
I honestly didn’t know this guy was a ‘musician’. I know him only from trying to imitate a Mexican gangster in Bullet Train.
If you’re going to pick a cross dresser anti Trump guy get Dee Snyder.
I know nothing about him, and have not watched a halftime show in so long that if I had had a kid during the last one I watched that kid would be old enough to be president, but based entirely on his name I am willing to bet that I would hate watching him.

If we’re going for “shocking,” how about Boy George?
Oh, wait. No. Even in the 80s, he wasn’t shocking.
Culture Club at least had hits on the radio, and he could actually sing.

Boy George was well known enough to be a guest star on an episode of The A Team.

Things are pretty hot in Chicago, they are attacking ICE agents and there is tear gas involved. Apparently cartels are placing a bounty on ICE agents. I’m not sure where this is headed.
lethal force against cartel moneymen?
I hope everyone has fun.
It’s headed to someone getting shot followed by media canonization.
That works both ways. If a “protester” is shot, they will be canonized. If an ICE agent is shot, the shooter will be canonized.
If it is like DC, getting a conviction for violence against ICE would be difficult.
Our 24 hour gym event raised $1000 for a local charity. Mrs. TOK called them yesterday to let them know. We hadn’t told them we were doing this. The woman on the phone was stunned for a few minutes. She’s in the middle of the very stressful planning of a black-tie fundraiser, and to have someone call out of the blue and say “btw we’re going to drop off a check for $1000” was a nice surprise.
and nobody had to wear a black tie
But but how are the hobnobbers supposed to virtue signal to their fellows about how charitable they are without black ties?
As far as fundraisers go, this one was pretty efficient. The only cost was us buying snacks and pizza. Mrs. TOK had to plan out the workouts, but she had a head start from our last event.
Elite hobnobbers go to white tie fundraisers.
Excellent!
Speaking of stunned, I was at a fundraising banquet on Saturday night (for a group of local doctors trying to build a new hospital building in Honduras). One of my friends at my table made a stunning pledge of $20,000! I’ve known him for 20 years, and while thinking him about as well off in retirement as me, could not conceive of him having that kind of money to give to a charity. My $300 donation was kind of embarrassing.
The credit, officially started under the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008, revised under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and expanded under former President Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, had been a key driver of EV sales in the United States.

“Following recent U.S. government policy changes, including the termination of certain consumer tax incentives for EV purchases and the reduction in the stringency of emissions regulations, we expect the adoption rate of EVs to slow,” GM said in a filing.

But the left has assured us that automakers have been hyping EV’s because of market demand!

I have an interest in cars and I could never figure what Wagoneer was what Wagoneer. You have some $60K BEV Wagoneer and a $110k luxury Wagoneer. And the $110k vehicle has Stellantis quality and dealer support. Who wouldn’t be all over that?

Sorry UCS, there are 15 federal agencies who have something to say about that.

I had a relative who was a senior AMC executive. As a kid I was driven around in just about every model made in the 1970s and early 80s.
My favorite was always his “winter” Wagoneer. They were always black because he got them washed at work. AMC got it’s money out of that platform I think it was 25+ years old before it finally was discontinued.

Anybody have any experience getting their vehicle’s instrument cluster remanufactured?
Sorry. I’ve not had that particular issue.
What’s it doing to you?
Did it glitch out and start making fun of your driving skills? Did it start watching YouTube gaming videos on the central screen? Maybe it’s just going through an awkward phase.
It’ll intermittently reset mid-drive, which puts it out of commission for 15-30 seconds while it restarts.
As of last weekend, it has started intermittently being completely nonresponsive, as if the electrical isn’t even on. Rapping on the dash usually wakes it up.
Sounds like a crack solder join creating an intermittant disconnection.
*cracked solder join
I love typos.
But I stand by that diagnosis. The vibration of driving breaks the circut, the thump causes it to come back into contact. Explains the symptoms. Someone who knows what they’re doing should be able to find it and put things right.
Yep, it is a cracked solder joint. This is a known issue on these trucks.
I just don’t want to go hunting for it, so I’m gonna outsource the labor.
“Knows what they’re doing” isn’t just about using the iron. Being familiar with the hardware being repaired goes a long way to not making things worse, so I don’t blame you for outsourcing. But the prospects are good given the information thus provided.
It’s pretty common for a variety of brands. If you check the various Chrysler fan forums you can likely find out who the “go to” people are for that brand.
If you can deal with the downtime I’d send my cluster out to be repaired. You know how you treated the vehicle and the cluster.
You know how you treated the vehicle and the cluster.
Unfortunately, I’ve only had the truck for 18 months, so I’m not sure how used and abused the cluster is.
I do know that it has substantially declined over the past year, and the unresponsive thing is new. It does seem to respond well to smacking the front “glass”, so it’s still drivable for now.
The downtime is a concern, but probably workable.

“A “student media advisor” at Oregon State University complained about Olohan and Allen’s scheduled speaking engagements at the conference and took it up with organizers on a Zoom call. He said he wouldn’t allow OSU students to attend if these two were speaking.
Steven Sandberg told the Columbia Journalism Review that he was tipped off by the “faith track” portion of the conference. “I saw pretty far-right, anti-LGBTQ language,” he said.
He took his concerns to the College Media Association, Associated Collegiate Press, and the Society of Professional Journalists, who jointly organize MediaFest. He said, “These speakers’ work doesn’t exist in a vacuum. LGBTQ students are feeling targeted by our administration, by the government, and by society. So I was disappointed to see them bring in people who espoused anti-LGBTQ views.”
What he meant by “anti,” of course, was “factual.” Olohan has written a book recounting the experiences of people who have detransitioned, that’s people who were eaten up by the medical industrial complex in service to the lie that they could change sex only to be spit out the other side damaged, maimed, and even worse off than they were before. Allen’s big crime was just writing for The Daily Signal, which is backed by the Heritage Foundation.”

“Those involved should resign from their roles immediately and leave the Republican party – including Vermont State Senator Sam Douglass,” he added.

She was accused of being involved in a riot during an anti-police direct action, where she operated on behalf of the infamous Antifa-affiliated “Wall of Moms.” The police station was set on fire.

Bill Lindeke is an “urban geographer” and is always writing stories for the local proggie website about how great mass transit is. He always pushes for population density where everyone can walk every where. I think deep down, he thinks letting people use bicycles is a bit too permissive. In his ideal world bicycles would be replaced by those pedal pub deals where 12 people sit and pedal together.
Anyhow, I can’t quit him. No matter how silly his columns are, I keep reading.
This story is typical. All that mass transit needs is a mobile app!
Yes, yes, I know it is dumb that a complete mass transit bobo starts a column where he admits that 2/3 of the train is a no-go zone, but that is what makes Bill great.
Based on some of his comments in the story, I’m sure Bill is a big believer in the fact that Voter ID laws are too onerous for the common rube.
Imagine! Trying to buy a transit card. From one of the many, many vending machines at each station. Way too hard.
If paying for a ride (which most don’t bother to do anyhow), imagine the difficulty in … reading a map
Don’t make eye contact or talk to with people unless absolutely necessary.
