I got nothing on sports today aside from noting that the WC top seeds have been set. IMO, they should not put three host countries in the top seed pot. It’s ridiculous. OK, moving on.
They’re doing their job. Good. It’s about freaking time.
Good. Survival of the fittest, baby. Seriously, though, the old rules are asinine and need to be revised. The blanket rule, for example, was possibly the dumbest regulation on the books.

“Well excuse me for being stupid.” Come to think of it, she could say this after every proclamation she makes.
“Your property is not your property to do with as you please.” I do not like this even though I hate the prices secondary markets charge. But that’s the price I’m willing to pay for an event I didn’t have the foresight to buy tickets for when they went on sale.
“We hate democracy and want to ignore it.” I don’t know how else to read this.

Ok, that is true dedication to a hate crime hoax. That girl needs serious mental health help.

Oh, I expect a lot of that. She is very cute, looks wholesome and fun, which should be all the evidence needed to show that looks are deceiving.
Gotta say, a nice looking girl.
Well, before she GOT HERSELF CARVED UP for a cheap political stunt.

When you can afford a jet, an airship seems like a poor choice.
It depends – if you just want to fly rather than get somewhere in particular, the airship takes less fuel. It’s like a yacht versus a speedboat.

And yet, the cruise ship industry keeps afloat somehow.

Black zip ties and duct tape were also found in Greene’s Maserati the night of the disturbing alleged scheme,
I was about to ask “How does a 26-year old get the scratch to buy a Maserati?” but then I realized a ten year old Ghibli can be had for about fifteen grand. Still, a concrete demonstration of remarkably poor judgement.
Still… mental health breakdown, drug-addled lunacy, desperate cry for attention, or all three?
Or, secret SugarFree fan!
The Maserati, or the cutting fetish?
I mean, the “pay a guy to disfigure me then concoct a Tawana Brawley / Morton Downey Jr.-style hoax” thing is weird.
The Maserati is just garden-variety masochism — like dating a redheaded stripper or taking up golf.
“The counsel for the claimant – real-life rights of nature lawyer Paul Powlesland – set out his argument to the judge and jury, claiming the government had breached legal obligations set out in the 2008 Climate Change Act. Scientists from the University of Birmingham – including one of us (Bruno) – acted as expert witnesses, bringing evidence of the threats posed to the tree from increased heat, atmospheric CO₂, soil damage and disease.”
So more climate change bullshit.

You missed Curaçao qualifying for the WC. Coached by 78-year-old Dick Advocaat, who coached Netherlands at USA ’94.

That translates from the Dutch as “Dick Lawyer”.

Nope. Its an apples to lemons comparison.

“Prosecutors said Greene was taken to a hospital, where she and her accomplice gave police conflicting accounts of what happened and provided faulty descriptions of the phantom assailants.
Black zip ties and duct tape were also found in Greene’s Maserati the night of the disturbing alleged scheme, and federal officials said her unidentified sidekick searched “zip ties near me” on their phone two days earlier and went to a Ventnor Dollar General to pick them up.”
Criminal genius.
Read whole article and still wondering why she would do this and hope to accomplish?
Broken people do stupid shit. It isnt complicated.
Using a fetish site gives the game away, doesn’t it?
The search history is hilarious.
Please tell me she drove her Maserati to Dollar General.
So many things hilariously wrong with this. Zip ties are available at every hardware store, and they’re not so expensive you have to cheap out at the dollar store. And why wouldn’t you have your stories straight ahead of time?

The indictment alleges Cherfilus-McCormick. 46, and her brother, Edwin Cherfilus, 51, received a $5 million overpayment in FEMA funds directed to their family health care company in connection with a contract for COVID-19 vaccination staffing in 2021.
What Somalis are to Minneapolis, Haitians are to south Florida (the congresswoman is Haitian).
The difference being that Haitians are utterly inept at everything — including crime, as we see here.
From McCormick’s wiki page:
In January 2025, the state of Florida filed a $5 million lawsuit against Cherfilus-McCormick’s South Florida-based Trinity Health Care Services business for knowingly accepting overpayments of invoices for work that was not actually performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The state alleged that Cherfilus-McCormick used this money to fund her congressional campaign. Between 2020 and 2021, Cherfilus-McCormick gained over $6 million in wealth, millions of which she loaned to her campaign; she had previously only spent tens of thousands on her campaign.
Yeah, she’s a slick one, all right. Then again, she occupies Alcee Hastings’ old seat, so her district is used to ethically-challenged shuck-and-jive artists.

Congrats, you just fed yourself for half a month on 3 meals worth of processed food money. Start learning to cook, and you can have more variety.
And remove the ability to extract labor and sustenance from others?
That was something that completely kicked me out of the flow/suspension of disbelief in Dark Skies: When a 1970’s rez Indian bought a bag of Royal Basmati.
In college I briefly had an (east) Indian housemate who ate only rice and lentils, no seasoning, with his hand(s?).
Once again, I saw this up close with my oldest. My SIL was taking her grocery shopping and keeping her on a budget. She found chicken breasts on sale and bought a month’s worth for like $20. Eggs are back to being affordable too. You just have to a) Decide that’s what you want to eat, and b) Spend 10 minutes looking for sales.
Giving people good advice is not cruel, actually.
Cooking food for myself is just, like, too hard. However, we should make it so that people cook food for thousands and make it free.

Massie says Trump signed the Epstein bill
Why is Pam Bondi holding a football for Massie to kick?
“These files can’t be released due to ongoing investigations.” (we’re totally on it though)
Best get used to that line because it’s a-comin.
HAH!
I read the bill. The Feds have some outs to withhold stuff. I expect that’s part of the reasoning behind reopening some Epstein related investigations.
I don’t really care what’s in the Epstein files. I figure 99.9% of the nation’s politicians are dirtballs, scrumbags, felons, creeps, war mongers, predators, criminals, grifters, commie pinkos, thieves, footpads, perverts, liars, and pants-wetters…and I don’t think anything in Epstein’s files will abuse me of those thoughts.
The girls are surface level stuff.
The real stuff is deeper. What Epstein was doing with the intelligence agencies. Mike Benz has been doing some work in that area to dig out that information.
I expect the files won’t help much and Benz won’t be able to go much deeper.
Trump is a vindictive sort who never lets a grudge go. We’ll not see everybody who should, take a fall. But we might see some. And I’ll take some over none. Hell, they already got Larry Summers’ scalp.
“Although economic mobility is a core American ideal, the U.S. now ranks below the Nordic countries, Canada and much of Europe in overall mobility, including the classic rags-to-riches story of starting in the bottom and working your way to the top.

They might achieve those result by dragging that top quintile downward a tidge.
Bottom 5th to Top 5th is quite an odd measuring stick. What happened to:
Grandpa came here and shoveled shit because that was the only job open to a poor uneducated immigrant, Dad worked his ass of nailing shingles and siding so son could get an education and make a good living that wouldn’t result in constant joint pain by age 45. Son got a degree in accounting and makes a good living, and grandkids will be able to pursue whatever sort of career they want.
I suspect our corruption is much higher than those other countries by now.
For example, they could ask why it costs ten times as much to build a mile of train track in the US versus there. Or why we spend vastly more on medicine, education, etc. etc. etc.
You cannot have economic mobility when millions of grifters are stealing money from the productive classes.

I can’t tell if he is saying that the Covid rules (that he put in place) were the cause of the fraud, or if the elimination of his Covid rule was the reason the fraud started. Either way, he is doing his very best to avoid any responsibility for his admin throwing billions of dollars out the window.

| I do not like this even though I hate the prices secondary markets charge. But that’s the price I’m willing to pay for an event I didn’t have the foresight to buy tickets for when they went on sale.
Agreed, but the vast majority of these tickets aren’t being bought by individuals but by ticket bots to resell.
| They should have painted “Zorin Industries” on the side of it.
While it certainly was not in the top 10 best Bonds, that movie gets unfairly panned. It was a lot of campy fun, and it had Grace Jones. Im a huge fan of Moore’s take on the role though.
Considering (as an example) Ticketmaster’s resale marketplace is technically a different company. So I could see some shadiness where the subsidiary is buying tickets from the parent company at face value, and then reselling them for higher than face value.
I have less complaints about the ticket prices than I do the fees that get slapped on (such as a convenience fee” for printing a ticket myself instead of having it mailed to me, back from the days of physical tickets).
Ah yes, the “convenience fee” which is totally different than the “shipping and handling fee” you pay to have them sent to your mailbox.
Ticketmaster is shady as fuck so I definitely would expect them to either be in on it with the resellers or just okay with what they are doing as it means more ticket sales for them. This law though will probably more fuck over the average Joe that bought an extra ticket and wants to resell it.
The Last American Hero:
That was the real slap in the face, when they were doing that, shipping the ticket via USPS was free.
The thing about scalping is that you the concert goer, are NOT the victim of scalping. The artist, team, and/or the venue are the victim. The scalper is selling at the market price. They are buying at a foolishly discounted price. The actual solution to scalping is for the tickets to be sold at market price in the first place.
I know that some bands push for lower face ticket prices because they think it helps the fans. The Dropkick Murphys threatened to leave venues at one point if they were charging $30+ for the tickets. Of course the tickets sell out, and go for much more on the secondary market, because that’s how the market works.
Live sports tickets have a different issue, you either pay a premium pre-season or you get the tickets at a steep discount depending on how the season goes. No one cares about the Browns at this point of the season, so tickets are dirt cheap. The year we made it to the playoffs, tickets were expensive as hell.
Which is all just the market working. The artist is showing their ignorance of economic reality and the scalper is taking advantage of that. All selling tickets at absurdly low prices does is reduce the number of people who get to attend, because the scalper is aiming to maximize profit which almost always means they are better off selling the tickets at a price where some tickets will not sell.
“”Paul John Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a German refugee camp a year after World War II ended. His family legally emigrated to the United States in 1952 when he was five….
In July, Bojerski went to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office for what he thought would be his usual routine visit. There he was told that if he didn’t voluntarily leave the country, ICE would deport him.
He was instructed to return to the ICE office in Orlando Oct. 30 with travel arrangements. But he could not make such plans as he has no passport and no country to return to, his lawyer said.”

If he was having routine visits to Immigration, he was never naturalized.
If he arrived legally and had over half a century – why didn’t he finish the process?

Stoller has represented Bojerski in immigration proceedings since 2008. He told WESH 2 his client’s deportation order dates back to the late 1960s after he had run-ins with the law.
Of course, while he was evading his deportation order from the late 1960s, he was convicted of rape in 1972.
Guy should’ve been gone fifty years ago, and now they’re playing is old age for sympathy.
So it breaks apart like sob story.
“every” sob story
“Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran “Kwame” Mamdani, has asked for a meeting. We have agreed that this meeting will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21st. Further details to follow!”
https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-trump-to-meet-mamdani-at-white-house-friday
“Asked earlier this week about his plans for small business owners, Mamdani said, “Too often, City Hall is making it harder for entrepreneurs to start to fulfill their dreams,” noting the bureaucratic “hoops” small businesses are forced to jump through.
He pointed to the city’s Business Express Service Teams, or “BEST teams,” which provide one-on-one case management assistance to small businesses. “We’re going to fund those teams with an additional $20 million dollars so that number of those business owners served starts to skyrocket,” Mamdani said.”

LOLOLOL
I saw Tucker Carlson’s interview of Charlie Kirk. It was released maybe a month or so before Kirk’s murder? I can’t remember.
Near the end, Kirk is talking about how dangerous Kirk thinks Mandami is. The reason is lots of the younger people Kirk talks to are hurting economically, and folks like Mandami are talking about their problems. Mandami’s solutions are garbage, but, they sound good to younger folks.
“I will take from others to give to you.”

Oh boy, 10 new teams of NYU graduates who never started a business or worked a job beyond server or barista are going to consult with budding entrepreneurs. How much does it cost to say “Just get the fuck out of my way, assholes?”
creech – they will know each impediment that state has set up as well as what palms need grease and what 20 page forms need to be filled out.
I’m sure an ‘expedite fee’ would help to speed up the processes though.
He is so fucking full of shit.
He is not going to do a goddamn thing to make business easier. Read the DSA party platform – it is straight up communism.

Altering an animal’s digestive processes is a stinky idea.
Sounds like they are on the horns of a dilemma.
What cud possibly go wrong?
Wouldn’t be a problem if they polled the cattle. Maybe even a Gallop Poll.
Angus who was behind that scheme?

It’s like walking into a local bar.
“A new poll found that more than half of Americans fear a civil war and believe the country is experiencing a democratic decline in the current political climate. The poll, conducted by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, found that 57 percent of Americans say the United States is on a path toward civil war. It also found that 69 percent of Americans believe that US democracy is under major threat now.
The poll centered on issues relating to race relations in the country. It reported that 60 percent of Americans say race relations are worsening, an increase from last year. It also found that 69 percent of nonwhite voters worry about white supremacy. However, 88 percent of voters agreed that diversity makes the United States stronger.”

Thanks, Obama.
Decades of propaganda worked. Film at 11.
And yes, if we get another Civil War it is because the people feeding us the propaganda desperately want one.
Oh good.
The new Trump plan to end the war in Ukraine would grant Russia parts of eastern Ukraine it does not currently control, in exchange for a U.S. security guarantee for Ukraine and Europe against future Russian aggression, a U.S. official with direct knowledge told Axios.
https://www.axios.com/2025/11/19/trump-ukraine-peace-plan-russia-donbas
Ukraine is in the midst of a slow motion collapse and only the deluded don’t understand that. This is Trump trying to salvage what he can but I doubt the Russians will go for it.
And Europe can’t provide this itself, naturally.
Sure Jan
“I never thought I’d be nostalgic for that period in the first Donald Trump administration when everyone decided it was the height of humor to joke about Trump’s “love affair” with Vladimir Putin. It was hacky and homophobic, and yet it was also more innocent than the current joke of the moment, which involves the infinitely more disturbing image of Trump performing fellatio on former President Bill Clinton.
Yes, this is where we’ve arrived. The latest intrusive thought comes courtesy of last week’s release of 20,000 previously sealed pages of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, the financier, convicted sex offender, and onetime friend of Trump. Among the many notable things in the files, the masses seized on one particular email thread between Epstein and his brother, Mark Epstein, from 2018: After Jeffrey mentioned that he was with Trump ally Steve Bannon, Mark responded by telling his brother to ask Bannon “if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.””

No.
How can you deny such ironclad proof of Trump’s actions?
That’s not an accusation, just crass talk and hyperbole and Slate’s well aware. If anything Trump is blessed with enemies that are even more dishonest than him.
The rules would also make it easier for actual, human fans — not scalpers or the automated bots they use — to get the tickets they want, the government said.
Bring back ticket lines. One to a customer.
The wailing from the same people would increase exponentially if you expected them to actually show up physically to buy a ticket.
They want it cheap and convenient and any failure to provide that is an abrogation of their natural rights!
I will admit to having a soft spot for gathering in lines to buy tickets from time to time. I was most entertained when you would have two shows releasing tickets the same day. You could generally tell who was there for the metal band, and which was there for the pop band.
TT and I stood in line to get tickets for Taj Mo (Taj Mahal and Keb Mo) last spring, but I suspect more of the geezers waiting with us were there for Bachman Turner Overweight/Marshall Tucker/Jefferson Starship (::shudders::)
I spend many Saturday mornings waiting in line. There was an art center in town and it had a Ticketmaster window. To prevent people from camping out overnight, they had some type of lottery system to be the first few in line when there was a big show. The guy in charge of all this was the security guard, I was there often enough to remember his name was Gary.
Last week, more than 40 British performers, including Coldplay, Dua Lipa and Radiohead, signed a public letter asking Prime Minister Keir Starmer to honor pledges to protect fans from the ticket scalping market.
Why don’t they perform for free?
Fucking thieves and robbers, they is.
Thieves
Adventures in Glib Parenting
Another lesson in trust.
He earned it!
Even more Glib parenting
The wailing from the same people would increase exponentially if you expected them to actually show up physically to buy a ticket.
But spending the night on the sidewalk with a mob of drunks is fun.
A bunch of coworkers and I camped out to get tickets for the St. Paul Saints (baseball team) in the late ’90s.
It was actually a pretty good time. The crowd was pretty easy going. You put something down to hold your place in line and then were free to roam about partying with the other people camping out.
Thank NYT – you did not disappoint.
“Experts have attributed the rise in attacks partly to climate change, with storms wreaking havoc on vegetation like beech trees, which produce the nuts that bears depend on.”
Ahead of the more likely explanation of the declining rural populations in Japan that makes their encroachment much more likely.
The Hunt Is On for Bears in Japan After Deadly Attacks
Residents in the northern region of Akita are living in fear after dozens of assaults on humans. Riot police and the army have been sent to help.
https://archive.fo/664pE
Arm the Japanese.
Historically that hasn’t gone well.
That would just cause the Chinese to re-arm as well
Just let them have bear rifles then. It’s an island country. Can’t do much without a navy.
CT:
Why just rifles. Wouldn’t any weapon be acceptable.
Right to bear arms.
LOL
What happened to all the big, aggressive dogs they raised?
After Oasis fans saw some seats on Ticketmaster more than double in cost from their advertised price, British regulators opened an investigation into whether the company had used “dynamic pricing” — an algorithmic pricing system, often used by airlines and on-demand car services, in which fluctuations in demand can send prices shooting high.
Ban auctions, too. All prices to henceforth be set by the Ministry of Plenty.
Price match guarantees legally required of all businesses.
Anything greater than £0.00 to see Oasis is an unreasonably inflated price.
Government saw an opportunity for graft and decided to wet its beak.
Noisy pickleball in the public park?
Sell the park.
Problem solved.
Pickleball is always causing problems. Even here in Sunny Minnesoda (my home no less).
One neighbor. All it took to start the ban.
One of the Altar Boys had baseball practice in that park.
I’m surprised that the whiner got any response from the city. Those are all townhomes around there. Not the usual McMansion owner who is paying gobs of property taxes.
Sour pickle: Rocky River rec center cans pickleball due to ‘ongoing behavioral concerns’ from grown-ups
The only people who play it here are the fire department.
On the clock.
They drive the engines and ambulances to the tennis courts that were converted to pickle ball courts by the park department FOR THEM.
I’m in favor of ripping the courts out just because it’s a vanity project for the fire guys. Our betters. Real heros who also put on a 911 parade on the clock with the taxpayers fuel.
Meh. Playing pickleball is better than hanging out at the firehouse watching porn and getting fat.
If they were I private subscription based FD I wouldn’t care what they did on the clock.
As they exist off of stolen money I care.
Disc golf is quiet pickleball is ghey
CLANK!
I understand where you’re coming from, but they’re being paid not just to act when there’s a fire/medical call, but to be available when not actively responding. That’s why they’re taking their apparatus with them when they go to the courts — so they are ready to respond if/when a call goes out.
531 ‘fire calls’ they send an apparatus to every crash to pump those numbers up. 65-70 actual fires a year. Good ol union boys. Privatize them.
https://www.cityoflewiston.org/DocumentCenter/View/146/Lewiston-Fire-Department-Overview-PDF?bidId=
Rough average of $130,000 a year to play pickleball and go on an actual fire call 6 times a month. Most of which are vehicle and grass fires.
The next anti-Trump protest hitting Washington, D.C., will demand the president’s impeachment and removal against a backdrop of live music and standup comedy.
Oh, lordy.
Will there be clowns on stilts and high wire jugglers on tiny bicycles?
“Watch me pull a rabbit out of my keffiyeh!”
There will definitely be plenty of clowns.
Don’t worry. I’m sure the Ds will impeach when they take control of the House. Maybe they can get three or four impeachments through in the time they will have.
The main event is a rally at the Lincoln Memorial at noon Saturday. The Dropkick Murphys and Earth to Eve will perform during the day.
That night, Earth to Eve will perform again along with Gwen Levey and the Breakdown, Allstrike and Freedom Futures Collective for a ticketed fundraiser.
Did Pete Seeger have a prior engagement?
It’s almost like none of this is actually serious.
More “riot-larping is fun” nonsense.
Wow, I just got a gander at that GOP aide chick from Jersey that paid to get cut up. I’d say she is on another level of crazy beyond Juicy Smollet. He just poured some bleach on himself and put a noose around his neck. She’s gonna be permanently disfigured from that stunt. That one is firmly on the wrong side of the hot/crazy matrix.
No joke! That is beyond nuts.
Even crazier, this person was trusted to work for a congressman. And clearly was paid well for it.
How the Hell does somebody end up employed for more than a few weeks that has this level of crazy?
No wait, I can answer my own question.
Monica Lewenski has entered the chat.
I used to shoot pool with a Dem state senator’s press secretary, and she was nuttier than a peanut tree. She had been kicked out of several bars around the city for cracking guys over the head with her cue.
Surely there’s someone out there who will get a special tingle while getting intimate and eyeing a “Trump whore” scar on her stomach.
I’m sure that person is out there, but will that person’s wife (Melania) approve of it?
“The Removal Coalition exists to elevate the removal demand of the protest and direct action space, compel media coverage of this objective, translate that pressure to lawmakers, empower activists to be explicit about demanding impeachment and removal, and amplify organizations committed to this constitutional imperative.”
Democrat-ocracy demands a do-over.
At this point I want Vance (or a Republican to be named later) to win and make them look back at Trump’s America as the good old days.
God, at this point I want MechaHitler to win, show them what real fascism looks like.
Oh, no! Trump and Vance were SNUBBED. No invite to Cheney’s service, I guess. They should go shoot some skeets in his honor.
When you’ve lost the Cheneys …
Not attending Dick Cheney’s funeral? This is all about saving face.
Nice PJ… Nice…
I’m confused.

Rental Family — Movies for the Rest of Us with Bill Newcott
In this crowd-pleasing family drama, Brendan Fraser is an American actor in Japan whose entire career involves dispensing kindness and emotional closure to people he barely knows.
I’m assuming it’s mostly in Japanese, but maybe not. It’s released in the US before Japan. Reviews have been decidedly mixed and it doesn’t sound like another “Lost in Translation” which I enjoy to this day.
My favorite movie in that genre is Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck.
The scene where he gets mad at the translator and storms out and then has to come back because he doesn’t know where he live is hilarious.
That’s a hidden gem. I love the disastrous parent dinner where he sticks the chopsticks in the bowl of rice.
I never got the love for “Lost in Translation”.
It was the wife and I’s first date. Plus, Bill Murray.
When I first saw it I had no interest in Japan or Japanese and still really liked it. So it can’t be blamed on my later interest.
Barn find of the day: https://barnfinds.com/5-0-and-t-tops-1985-mercury-capri-rs/
Nice Fox body, the second best Mustang, ’65-’66 being the best, obvs.
Fun memory, but pricey. It best be mint at that price.
Looks pretty cherry in the pics, plus the Mercury cache puts it up a notch at the club.
Blizzard warning
Sheep Range and Spring Mountains in Nevada should prepare for between 16 and 24 inches of snowfall in areas above 9,000 ft by Wednesday morning, making travel “difficult to impossible,” particularly along State Routes 156, 157, and 158.
In Colorado, up to 8 inches of snow is expected across the southwest San Juan Mountains and also the eastern San Juan Mountains, above 10000 ft, by Thursday night.
The northern and southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico should also expect to see up to 8 inches in areas above 11,000 ft from Thursday into early Friday morning.
The nation will be brought to a standstill.
Someday I should go to the Sangre de Christos in winter.
Denver is making a run for the latest first snow ever. It’s been 75 F every day.
Fun memory, but pricey. It best be mint at that price.
Somebody might pay that, but it wouldn’t be me.
Someday I should go to the Sangre de Christos in winter.
It’s nice down there. It was fifty(!) years ago, anyway. A lot of people I knew in college went down there to commune with nature.
Not sure who’s stupider in this: the Tesla owners or the Tesla engineers.
